It's been over ten years since Sega's beautiful white baby came into this world, kicking off a revolution still being felt today. Ahead of its time in many ways, Dreamcast ran against Sony's DVD-enabled PlayStation 2 and came off second best, signalling Sega's departure from the hardware market. The gamers at KINECTaku are finally starting to come to terms with the fact there will be no Dreamcast 2, and bizarrely it's Kinect helping them along by continuing the spirit of the 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.
as a fan of the dreamcast,i would have to say that kinect is not turning the 360 into dreamcast 2.not even close.it extends the life of 360 beyond 5 years.nothing more.sega is just diversifying by releasing something for kinect.
microsoft has made great strides in connecting gamers over a network.i'll give them that.but i counter this argument in that microsoft has canceled MMO after MMO.so no PSO here.and sega didn't make you PAY to PLAY.yakuza,the spiritual successor to shenmue,is only on ps3.virtual tennis(the most fun break out sports title at the time because world series baseball sucked when it released)is being given a hot innovative option of 3D on ps3.
i loved the developers at sega.but they are not doing it this gen when it comes to games and pushing envelopes.never mind that i won't ever see a streets of rage 4,skies of arcadia 2 or shenmue3 or a properly made sequel of anything,sega just doesn't have hit anymore.and they keep rehashing my beloved VF series.
now if platinum games made something for kinect that was innovative like their glory days at clover studios,then maybe.or if yuji naka cared like he used to for sonic.or if the great yu suzuki made a space harrier game for it.or if yuzo koshiro made some mad beats for a game releasing on it.
no,360 is no dreamcast 2.and kinect,as interesting as it is with hacks,has not shown any games or announced any games of any significance to real gamers who want challenge over shallow gameplay for the masses.
um well didn't sega go out of business because of the dream cast i don't see kinect doing that to the xbox
As avid SEGA fan no one should compare X360 to a revolutionary console as DC.
Microsoft has a lot of money so they wont drop support of the 360. Once the console starts to dip in sales they will release a new box.
Kinect turns 360 into Wii2 but minus the quality Nintendo devs.Ms have about 2 or 3 good devs and no exceptional ones.
Luckily,they have enough cash to just throw money around until something sticks.It's nothing like the Dreamcast.
