So, SEGA's gonna reveal some AAA game at this year's Gamescom, what do you think is it going to be? A new IP? Maybe SEGA's trying to bring back one of their old IPs in a big way? Creative Assembly already confirmed it's not theirs.
Two Point Hospital was so disappointing. The level of redundancy was off the charts. There's like 50 hospitals and the only difference is the shape of the build and the disease-of-the-month. I have never seen such a low level of replay-ability in a game before.
Ethan Jackson
Eh it's Yakuza 000777 333 222 Yakuza Turbo Yakuza Man of Yakuzas. Coz Sega doesn't know anything else for shit.
That and they announced the next Yakuza game already
Josiah Parker
I'm going to pirate it, I told them in their and Atlus' server that I am not willing to pay for digital and am only willing to pay for physical and specified that a download code is not a physical copy, they continue to release digital only on PC so I will continue to pirate their games with no remorse.
Daniel Walker
you are pants-on-head retarded
Nathaniel Martin
Yakuza is officially becoming the new Dark souls of ubiquitous cancer
Ethan Cox
Please, no. I like Adventure games. Please don't ruin them with modern Sonic Team. They will definitely fuck it up
Jaxon Perez
Can the Total War games even be considered AAA?
Luke Reyes
For Yakuza to become the new Dark Souls it has to spawn a bunch of poorly made copy cats.
Ayden Gray
I’d unironically be extremely interested if it actually ran well.
Wyatt Rodriguez
Which one is Eternal Arcadia? 5 or 8?
Julian Bailey
Hopefully it’s a good Sonic game but I’d be better off betting on the lottery.
Jacob Taylor
What's wrong with JSRF?
Thomas Green
8
Anthony Wright
Mania 2 is basically guaranteed, so you're getting at least one in the near future. But yeah, the next Modern Sonic game will likely be the same old "mediocre bordering on bad at best" trash it's been for years now.
James Parker
>It's been nearly a decade since the last good modern Sonic game Jesus
Charles Cox
Sonic Adventure 3
Alexander Gonzalez
Yeah, the next sonic game is going to be either another failed 'reinvention' like Lost World, or yet ANOTHER boost game that fails to understand what made that mechanic work in Unleashed.
Christopher Davis
persona 1 or 2 remake PLEASE!
Parker Torres
Oh boy where do I even start? >no scoring >no timer >no fucking cops >except in lame braindead "boss" arenas with cops to tag while you're locked up; completely useless, boring and uninteresting >automatic tagging >AUTOMATING SPRINTING EVEN WHAT THE FUCK (oh yeah that's because there's no more bullets to avoid like in JSR) >STILL DOESN'T USE RIGHT STICK FOR CAMERA >worse level design that somehow feel more linear and lifeless than it's predecessor, I swear to god there's less graphic details than on Dreamcast too. JSR's levels were open, JRSF is full of corridors >worse game progression in general
JSR was an arcade action games where you had to skillfully or strategically avoid cops to finish the required tags. The difficulty came from the increasingly crazy police and military forces (and then the Rokakus) trying to stop a single kid from drawing on walls. It was fun and exhilarating. The zones finished with weird but still pretty fun boss against the gangs who tested your knowledge of the maps and mechanics required to find paint and catch them up with speed in order to defeat them. JSRF is a fucking platformer collectathon. The cops aren't a threat in regards to the levels in general, and the entire difficulty comes from finding and reaching increasingly hard to reach tags point because that's the only way they found to make the game have SOME SORT of challenge. It doesn't work and it's boring. Somehow the boss fights are worse. Did you fucking see the Poison Jam fight? At least in JSR they could complete a full lap and trying to catch them required some skill. In JSRF they just RUN IN CIRCLES
This is the most disappointing sequel I ever experienced for myself.
Jaxson Parker
>muh physical
get with the times grandpa
Tyler Martinez
>Yakuza >AAA What? Not to mention Shin's already been announced for well over a year.
>AAA if they actually mean it then its 99% guaranteed to be a western game, either Relic or an Amplitude game i wouldn't get my hopes up for a weeb game
Henry Thompson
>Persona >AAA ???
Colton Walker
if they announce an unannounced game, isnt that a paradox?
Sonic isn't AAA, there's been no hints towards it on the social medias, and they prefer announcing Sonic stuff either at their own events or SXSW.
So it's not Sonic related.
Owen Murphy
Alien: Isolation 2? New Outrun? After Burner? Crazy fucking Taxi with Bayonetta and Jeanne as guest characters?
Jose Sullivan
Actually that isn't too far of a thought. JSR has gotten cult status and plenty of time has passed.
Its either that or another sequel to a franchise they have been working on every year.
Lucas Allen
>SEGA have a prime opportunity to bring us a game from their brilliant Japanese library
>loljk here’s total war or alien or whatever
Robert Rodriguez
better than "it sux lmoa"
Brody Miller
>Sega hates Sonic meme.
Of course, its the only franchise they have that has stayed popular for twenty years spawning tons of other media like comics, cartoons, toys, and movies. Such a burden to them what with giving them a foothold in international markets and all.
Carson Myers
Now explain why Sonic games are broken, soulless shit?
Brody Brown
Maybe they will explain what happened to french bot!
Chase Bell
Lmao you literally never played future and maybe watched a youtube video. Kill yourself
Noah Davis
It's Sonic >That's not AAA OK, Yakuza >That's not AAA Total War? >That's not AAA
Then name one AAA franchise Sega has.
Robert Wright
Also I think Yakuza would have to form elitism of fans that blame players as not being skilled enough when they point out flaws in the gameplay.
Easton Evans
It literally cannot be Yakuza. Shin was announced back in 2018 and that's confirmed the next Yakuza game. To add onto this this is a series that coasts by on a couple hundred thousand sales at best, it's not AAA by any stretch of the imagination.
Alexander Gomez
How about Football Manager?
Jaxson Wilson
probably another shitty yakuza game or some rts autism shit for pc incels. segas flatlined this gen. my fingers are crossed for valkyria chronicles: modern warfare
Dominic Evans
fpbp
Aiden Jenkins
Sonic Adventure remake set in the world of the hit new movie
It's either Company of Heroes 3 or Amplitude Studios' new RPG. Those are the only games that would fit AAA criteria and make sense to be announced at Gamescom (and it can't be a CA gane since theyalreafy said it's not theirs).
Nathan Watson
Virtua Fighter 6
Jackson Edwards
Does anyone else feel sorry for them? I recently came from Japan and Sega has a much MUCH larger presence over there, however I mean that like how Fischer Price has a large presence in the toy industry.
There are many Sega arcades in Tokyo and the first floor is all UFO catchers. You’d expect to maybe see Sonic, Yakuza or Daytona USA merch but they’re all selling Square-Enix, Nintendo, Bandai-Namco and Anime merchandise. Then there’s the arcade on the second floor and above. Not one Sega game apart from their arcade conversion of en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kantai_Collection
The ground floor is fighting games and thought to see virtua fighter but nope, Tonnes of street fighter, Tekken, Gundam and a lot of other mecha fighting games. Sega is now a company that makes a profit selling other company’s IPs. It’s really depressing if you think about it.
>most likely yakuza sonic >possible something from atlus something alien related >improbable a new jet set some remake nobody wants >fever dream any other pre-dreamcast IPs
Please be a proper AAA Sonic game. Ive been waiting since 2008 fucking hell
Joshua Jackson
When they dropped out of the hardware game they went full harlot. That's business for you.
William Thomas
>Then name one AAA franchise Sega has. They don't have one, SEGA has been making modest budget games for a while now, because everytime they dabble into it, that shit fails. Their last AAA game was Alien Isolation, how do I know it as AAA? It sold over two fuckng million units, and SEGA considered it weak sales.
Colton Harris
it will never happen. nintendo scooped up a few artists and designers, and anyone else is stuck in hell making mario olympics games. and it has to be downgraded hard so the shitch can run it, meaning something even mightier than unleashed couldnt take full advantage of the xbox scarlett and ps5.
Angel Jackson
Let me have a little hope damnit
Kevin Price
I find it really ironic how despite being 2/3 extremely mediocre, Sonic Unleashed is THE modern Sonic game that gets comparissons with all the new modern Sonics for the sole reason that the production values for it were through the roof and it shows on every pixel it has.
Ryder Carter
>downgraded hard so the shitch can run it Reminds me that Forces was in a dismal state for the Switch right up until release when they got it to 30FPS.
Jaxson Perez
i used to dream to until sega started working closer with nintendo. their shovelware consoles hold back the real consoles. and a theoretical unleashed 2 wouldnt have 2 versions like 360/ps3 and ps2/wii
Eli Diaz
sega doesn't make AAA anything
Elijah Diaz
All I want if for them to really try again.
>"the whole development team is aiming to make Sonic Unleashed the best Sonic game ever, and that includes the Genesis-era titles! We hope that even people who haven't played Sonic games will feel 'Wow, Sonic is back!'" - Yoshihisa Hashimoto
Wyatt Murphy
its gonna be phantasy star
Connor Cook
its not mediocre. its bleeding with soul, has challenging proper level design, and the post game is ridiculous. coming off the heels of 06 was no easy task but they did it and more.
and thats how it will be forever more because sonic sadly sells the most on nintendo. maybe one day nintendo will make a console stronger than the 360. should be just a few more generations until were at base xb1/ps4 levels
Grayson Harris
Shadow may cry.
Austin Ramirez
just skip the shitch altogether then, it won't sell there anyway because it's not bing bing wahoo.
David Ramirez
Hopefully new Shinning Force that's like EXA to compete with DQXI
Mason Rivera
nah thats the thing, the shitch and nintendo seem to have higher sonic sales than other consoles. sega is poor these days so its a necessary evil. we cant avoid it and games like forces are the standard template since its bite sized and small enough in scope to not have content problems on it. imagine adabat day, eggmanland, or spagonia on the shitch. the thing would melt in your hands, light on fire, and run out of battery in 5 minutes
Daniel Collins
The thing is that they can't try again because pretty much every talented motherfucker that worked on Sonic Unleashed jumped ship to the likes of Nintendo or Square Enix, hell, people who worked on Unleashed worked on Mario Odyssey. They're probably better off now than they were with SEGA, where they were relegated to making mediocre games and getting shit on by fans and critics alike.
Evan Hill
Hopefully it's a new Phantasy Star Online, PSO2 is becoming 8 years old or so, it's about time.
Anthony White
not happening either. the west is finally getting pso2 next year
Zachary Lee
Reminder that Sega would have to be fucking nuts to announce a japanese title at Gamescom.
Cameron Powell
I said 2/3 mediocre, that's the werehog parts. Dont fucking tell me they're good or decent because they're not, it's fun for the first level or two out of sheere novelty because there were no beat'em up parts in Sonic before, but when you realize those are the majority of the game, which means trudge through 15~20 minute slow ass levels just to get to the really good parts is just insane.
The Werehog segments are repetitive, they overstays their welcome, and they slow the game down to a crawl.
Sonic Unleashed is a mediocre game with tons of soul, just like the Drakengard series
Alexander King
Literally nobody cares about the west in Japan. If you think this influences their decision in the slightest, then you don't know shit about Japan.
Xavier Cox
if they dont care then why would they announce the next phantasy star game at a western event?
Julian Morris
A SMT5 that restarted development.
Screencap this.
Eli Perez
If they're aiming for worldwide release, why not? Bandai Namco announced weeb games Jump Force and Tales of games on Microsoft's E3 conferences, and Sega sure as fuck has IPs more recognizeable in the west than fucking Tales of.
I'm sure SEGA still has and or can buy talent. Kishimoto has one good game to his name as director and it seems to have been a complete fluke, there's no reason for him to be heading games anymore.
It's only the second/third biggest gaming event in the fucking world.
Oliver Fisher
Alien Isolation 2
Jonathan Ross
a Yakuza game where you watch the mob hitting you
Aaron Campbell
My uncle works at Sega and he says they're making Alpha Protocol 2. It's set in Kamurocho
Dominic Morris
My wife's boyfriend's girlfriend's son's uncle works at Sega and he told me it was an open world Outrun game with the entire earth modeled and playable based on Google Earth data.
Chase Hernandez
Oh baby, AAA Samba de Amigo
Wyatt Rivera
You're joking but SEGA removing Alpha Protocol from Steam is a good sign they don't want anything to do with the series anymore. Sequel never ever.
Brayden Sanchez
i-it's just because of music copyright, we'll get a sequel and probably a remaster of the original too one day.
Tyler Watson
Sega Super Stars Football
Asher Hall
New Crazy Taxi Xbox One-PS4 and Epic Store release in November 2019, Switch, Steam and Stadia February 2020
Luke Scott
it's not going to be yakuza, and the next game isn't even going to be called yakuza 7.
sega was founded by the greediest type of a jew so fuck whatever they've become.
Jonathan Rivera
Wonder if we're ever getting news on the Valkyria Chronicles 3 remake any time soon or if it's been cancelled. It was teased 2.5 years ago now so it should be coming soon if it still exists. mobile.twitter.com/bk2128/status/826112233633574913
>AAA Crazy Taxi If this happens, it will backfire immensely.
Isaiah Foster
Not with Epic money in the middle if it were to happen and Timmy Boy wanted it. They're literally willing to pay the entire game's development costs and some more just to have it exclusive to their store.
Even if the game sold like shit, it'll all be profits for them.
Eli Stewart
I'm not talking financially but artistically. AAA has bad methods implied into it. Bye bye to arcade focus, for example.
Adam Walker
Yeah, it makes sense now.
Jackson Wilson
P5 PC
Jack Long
That's what they get for not fucking bothering with taking advantage of the PlayStation audience for Sonic exclusives after going third party via 6th gen. How on earth they couldn't get SA2 Battle to run on better hardware than the Dreamcast is pathetic.
Juan Turner
Either a new Sonic game or a Playstation exclusive.
