My favorite arcade games are light gun shooters. The feeling of physically taking up a weapon and lining your sights is a quality that can't be replicated with a mouse or a controller. You fashion yourself as somewhat of a badass as you mow down rows of zombies / terrorists / Terminators / Xenomorphs.
However, this gamer from Thailand takes the roleplay a bit too far. His mastery over Ghost Squad results in a mesmerizing combination of marksmanship and performance art, and you've got to appreciate his commitment to the act. Still, he's a bit too engaged. I totally lost it at the 1:06 mark when he goes through the motions of kicking a fake door down!
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?
From an ancient prophecy, a legendary being with a might within the realm of gods. A force so powerful, a fearsome might that can shake the hearts of the divine warriors themselves. A will so UNIMAGINABLE it tears down the very fabric of the dimension holding this universe. They call him...
