Ever wonder in what position we would all be in if the Sega Dreamcast had not failed? Would there have been a Dreamcast2? Would Xbox exist? Well lets all find out and see what would have happened.
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
The Callisto Protocol director thinks the solution involves the right people, the right timing, and perhaps a little bit of AI
I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise
We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.
Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.
it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.
This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
The dreamcast died when it needed to.
Imagine all the crappy multiplattform ports.
It would be the psp of today.
The Dreamcast didn't fail - Sega did.
They wasted all the money made with the Genesis on all of the add-ons and the Saturn, then overproduced the Dreamcast. The release of the PS2 caused a minor sales slump and stall, and Sega lacked the revenue - weren't getting 3rd party support and income - so they derailed.
Maybe if they had simply moved onto the Saturn, ignored Genesis add-ons, they would have been in a better position, but they weren't.
Get over it already.
MS and SEGA working together??? I think i actually would of liked that and prolly would of have MS a better position in Japan
Id say the main fault with the DC was how easy it was to pirate and the fact Sony came in really strong with the Ps2 especially with the huge following the Ps1 had.
I don't think it did. The Dreamcast is the 360. It has those sharp colors to the graphics. It sells the essentials as add-ons but instead of memory cards and rumble it's wi-fi, HDD's, and online multiplayer. It has its cult following. The list goes on...
Only this time SEGA has MS money and MS money can't fail.
Sega lost, the dream cast I think needs to be picked up by another company.
