With the Dreamcast last seen in action since 2002 in North America Sega has long been out of the console wars. Gamers have called it the “system before it’s time” because of it’s superior processing power and online capabilities. The Dreamcast was loved for more than it’s power but its solid lineup of games. Sonic Adventure, Crazy Taxi, Power Stone, Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, and Street Figther 3 are just some of few titles that won the heart of gamers. Even after the death of the DreamCast Sega had announced they would once again enter the ring of hardware. This is 2011 and still we wait for Sega’s next console. Why hasn’t Sega already made this Dreamcast2 is just to powerful that ones eyes would melt from the power? The bigger question is what is the state of Sega at the moment that would not allow them to create a new console.
Two-day event includes exclusive reveals, trailers and playable games on show floor.
CEO Haruki Satomi said Sega will "take these lessons into account for future initiatives"
Rovio “found it difficult to advance its initially planned business development,” says Sega.
Sega needs to stay as a third-party developer. We don't need four systems and Sega doesn't have the same magic they once did to support a system with strong first-party titles. Stay third-party and support the industry with games.
Nope. Sorry but with some publishers dreaming of someday there will be no such thing as a "console war" the last thing that we need is a 4th entry to the foray.Also If Sega were to even say that they were in fact looking into maybe releasing/planning a Dreamcast 2, I personally as a long time gamer would be cautious about maybe even considering even buying a console from sega. We all know what happened to the Sega CD,32X,Saturn and eventually the Dreamcast.
I say this is wishful thinking from die hard sega fans.
I cant possibly see anything in the near future. with PC the big three console manufacturers and now Panasonic trying to come back with Jungle and Onlive... and lets not forget we are kinda, just maybe a tiny intsy lil bit considered to be in a recession ya know lol..
Sega wouldnt even be able to make a console. Not unless Apple or Google backed them for the brand recognition.
And I dont believe the Dreamcast lineup was solid at all.
Sonic hasnt been good since 2D, Crazy Taxi was an arcade game, thus too short to warrant any real attention and the next 3 games are fighters, 2 more than I need.
Face it, the last good Sega machine was the Megadrive and even that was 2nd fiddle to the SNES, (not that being 2nd is bad) but they were bleeding money for 3 generations. If Nintendo hadn't jagged a hit with the Wii, they probably would have gone the same way.
Now days Sega is far better off concentrating on software. Even then they are hit and miss, so theres no way they could support a console with software.
And why Dreamcast 2 anyway, wouldnt it have a new name like consoles traditionally have. Its only since Playstation 1 became a megahit that they name them after their predecessors.
Handheld?
