Should have happened, along with Silicon Graphics processor. Holy shit Sega seriously dropped the ball.
But everything worked out in the end ao who cares?
Sega of Japan were too arrogant and too insular to succeed. They should've handed over everything to SoA if they wanted to continue their dominance
Stop me if im wrong here but didn't the PlayStation originally start as a SNES peripheral? Not sega...
Yes, Silicon Graphics tried to sell their scam to Sega, and that's the only real connection between hardwars. Nintendo ended up buying into that scam instead, scammed pretty hard, it had many stupid bottlenecks, and basically if Nintendo had the engineers to catch onto this scam, it would have been able to triple polycounts of the PSX/N64 and run games at a standard of 60fps.
Sega's hardware was just confusing, instead of drawing tris it draws textures as quads, and draws them in 3d space, basically reinventing the polygon for no good reason. Sega should have focused the device onto 2d games since that's where it excelled.
yeah but sony approached sega after being turned down by nintendo and deciding that releasing it around 94-95ish would be too late. Sony had been publishing games for a while on the Sega CD along with Sega in North America which is why they approached Tom Kalinske for a hardware partnership. Some executives in Sega Japan hated Tom so they brushed the whole thing off when he told them that Sony wanted a partnership on the next Sega hardware.
The whole ps1 story has to be the biggest dab in gaming history. Can you even imagine how shitty gaming would be if nintendo or sega run the gaming industry from 1995-2005? There would literally be no golden age of gaming on consoles
Japanese culture is shit.
I have no idea why it is lionised
Not really, Sega Japan actually set some very high standards on what the processor should be and Silicon Graphic, to their credit always somehow managed to deliver. But Tom realized that no matter what they did SoJ was always going to deny them which is why he recommended them to present their processor to Nintendo. Silicon Graphics were denied essentially because they went through Tom and not directly to Sega Japan.
haha...
Fucking zoomer. The goldenage was the snes and mega drive days.
It would be better though, devs would have just made games for the Saturn, and Nintendo and Sega would still be locked into a war of one upping eachother, and at least there would be 2 platforms with good first party support, instead of 1.
That's good, at least Sega had the engineers to see the scam, even though the hardware they opted to make ended up both interesting and confusing.
Yeah, Japan is a very conservative country. Most people on this site are conservatives too so it makes a lot of sense desu.
>he doesn't know Sony donates to the conservative parties in Japan.
SoA is the reason the Saturn and Dreamcast failed though. Fuck are you even on about?
the processor wasn't a scan dude. It was pretty good for the time. If anything, the Nintendo 64 was held back because of the use of cartridges; not the processor.
SoA is the reason the Gensis succeeded, it was SoJ that was the cause for the saturn failing because they wanted to get it out before the playstation.

Based.

The Saturn did well in Japan, though. Didn't SoA's president change during that time?
To be fair, Sony was known at the time to use and abuse other companies they partnered with. Segal and Nintendo were fearful that Sony would break up their partnership after learning everything they needed plus have the rights to their IPs. Nintendo survived the ordeal, Sega not so much.
Nintendo pulled out of the deal because they would have to pay royalty fees to publish games to their own hardware. Sony were predatory at the time, a lot of people don't realize this but Sony paid for exclusives to get their platform rolling. So why is it bad when Epic does it?
This. Sony had a fuckton of money, they strongarmed themselves into the market. But hey, the hardware was good and the games were good so it worked.
Even if Sony partnered with Sega, Sega would have found a way to shoot themselves in the foot. Though with the Dreamcast it was mostly 3dfx fucking it all up than Sega themselves.
Epic doesn’t have the luxury of being in a period without internet intelligence. Now Sony has a loyal following so it doesn’t matter what kind of shitty things they have done, Epic has an uphill battle... plus too many services suck ass.
>the conservative parties in Japan.
Other parties exist? They might as well just have the LDP at this point since they've been in power for 60 of the past 64 years.
Not a fan of Sony but the way they dropped that price, fantastic.
Sony was working with Nintendo to make a CD add-on for the SNES. If Nintendo hadn't backed out of the project, the PlayStation wouldn't even exist.
