These days, not as many actors get involved in video game movies. But Sega has had great luck casting its last two Marvel video games, Thor and now Captain America -- both of which are playable in 3D like the movies. Even with the lead actor, Chris Evans, not being interested in games at all, they were able to get the real Captain America to provide the lines in the new Captain America: Super Soldier game. Evans was able to talk about his video game work before descending on San Diego Comic-Con to give fans an exclusive first look at the movie.
Sega's hardware went further leaps and bounds than most people would have expected. Even in today's market.
"In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me if SegaNet inspired Microsoft to do something with its Xbox Live network, which has easily grown into something on its own over the years."
It did—down to having to pay for a subscription and... Horse Armor DLC!!! 😱🤯💀. In fact, people that worked on SegaNet went on to work on Live before it was released.
SegaNet was the Demon's Souls to Live's Dark Souls—while the Sega Channel was King's Field.
SEGA paid Microsoft to supply Windows for the Dreamcast, at the time, Microsoft was developing the Xbox, unknown to SEGA.
Same. Plus the fact that Sega designed them with only a left analog stick baffles me, considering that dual analog design was already standardized by Sony on the PS1. There were certain games literally unplayable because of this design choice (Virtual On). I really liked the Dreamcast as a console, but that controller was bad.
Yeah, it was basically an updated Saturn 3D controller. Madly, that controller was better than the Dreamcast controller. I never liked the shoulder buttons on the Dreamcast controller, but did the job.
It was an amazing piece of tech.. the vast majority of the games were arcade and it’s what hurt it.
I loved those games but the PS2 was just on another level, especially with Square, Rockstar and Konami exclusives and obviously GT3.
By the time the Dreamcast was canned in Japan in 2001, it'd only been out less than 2 years in Europe and the US. Turning back the clock, it should've been packaged without the dial up modem to keep the cost down, I don't think the broadband modem was released in Europe. At the last minute, SEGA canned the DVD format, although that might've bumped up the price.. With this, sticking to black casing as with previous consoles and lastly, a better controller would've bagged more sales. Dreamcast probably wouldn't have hit PS2 numbers, but when it died, it was the biggest shock in gaming history. SEGA have never really recovered.
Sega announced its financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year, related to the period between April and September 2025.
What happens when you release games via Limited Run and as Game Key Cards on Switch 2
People don't buy them. I would have double dipped on P3 Reload if they had proper cartridges but they can all shove it.
I admit I bought several of them... but I always will choose proper carts GKC releases if given the choice
SEGA should stop faffing on with those boring Mega Drive and Master System collections that've been out there for years. Saturn and Dreamcast collections are overdue, but more some arcade collections. Put games on all formats and let gamers choose disc, card or download. The latest Shinobi was a Limited Run game on card, it doesn't exactly sell the game to the masses. SEGA showed off a number of new games not so long ago, they've all gone missing. SEGA has a rich history of making mistakes, it needs to have a serious look at itself, more so in the US and Europe.
A Rovio job listing reveals SEGA and Rovio are collaborating on how to use generative AI in upcoming game projects.
Sega should explore kissing my butt instead. Bunch of lazy AI loving morons
So, if AI can help make production faster and actually improve on things, we can’t use it because… why exactly?
Well duh. It's a bunch of short lines he has to read.
“I don’t really play video games,” said Reynolds. “Is there a way to waste more f—ing time?"
Yes there is. Going to see one of your shit movies. That quote made me hate Ryan Reynolds even more now.
As for Evans, he's just not a gamer. Nothing wrong with that. Looking forward to seeing the movie.
How much fun could it really have been?
Bit of an cut up headline, but yeah I cant imagine after being the role of captain america (great fun flick btw) that reading some short lines for a cash in game would be fun. This isnt Uncharted which fully involves the voice actors.
The problem is...people won't open themselves up to the medium.
Chris Evans is a respectable guy. This really doesn't have much to do with him. Reading repetitive and poorly written lines is boring to everyone! Maybe if Naughty Dog had made a game and cast him...he'd be more inclined to say differently.
You can't be open to something you don't understand. Video games are just like books or movies or tv shows. In fact, they may even be MORE entertaining.
Movies don't scare me.
Amnesia scares me.
Books don't make my jaw drop.
God of War 3 makes my jaw drop.
TV Shows don't make me buy special editions for $40 more.
Video games don't... wait...
