Shining Force wouldn't sell 1/10th of a new Sonic
Also: pay M2 the $50,000 or whatever it would take to have them 3Dify Shining Force II.
Shining Force wouldn't sell 1/10th of a new Sonic
It would sell to me, whereas a new Sonic hasn't in years.
You guys wishing for a bunch of games nobody has given a shit about in decades isn't going to help Sega. Those games would BURY them.
You probably could put Sonic in that list of "bunch of games nobody has given a shit about in decades" too. It has been 14 years since Sonic Adventure 2 came out, and most people can agree that if Sonic Adventure 1 wasn't the end of sonic, Sonic Adventure 2 was. That second generation of sonic fans that grew up with Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 are like 25 now. You can't expect Sonic Boom to capture sales from Gen and Dreamcast fans when it was such a huge departure from both fanbases. Sonic Generations was a pretty good compromise between both sets of fans, but I guess it didn't sell that well.
Either come up with new properties, make sequels that won't break you if they flop, or go back and be faithful to old properties. All this shit about "lets make game X for a new generation" is a gamble. And it almost never ever works.
