So what did everyone think of the announcement from Sega. Being built from the ground up for the PS2.
Namco now have competition from the hands of sega.
Soul Calibra 2, Tekken 4, and now Virtu Fighter 4 all on playstation 2 :) Hopefully they will be at E3..
First reaction of this - GoD Damn !!!!!!
-
Mixed feelings...
- It will be very interesting to follow VF4\'s progress and actually listen to/read Sega hyping/marketing VF4 for PS2.
- I\'m looking forward to seeing what Sega can do on PS2.
- I\'m still in a mild state of shock that Sega will be developing for Sony (as well as other platforms). So many years as a first-party developer to their own hardware. There\'s a large number of Sega fans who\'ll be hurting at the moment and I feel for them.
- Looking forward to seeing how other AAA developers will react to Sega encroaching on their patch.
- I\'m hopeful that Sega will be able to get back in the black as a third party developer.
-
I read somewhere that VF4 was never planned for the
DC anymore. So Sega must have been looking some time
ago for it to be on another platform. ( so I conlude they
knew the DC wouldn\'t be aroundd for much longer.)
It\'s really great they\'re gonna build it up from scratch
just for PS2. I wonder what Yu Suzuki and AM2 can do
with the PS2 hardware.

Im one of them :(
But sega needs to turn a profit, and if this is the way then its all good :)
-
I think the game could be AWESOME...
and I\'m glad to get the Sega-only serie to PS2.. I\'m happy that Sega\'s bringing their quality-titles to Sony; I\'m so happy \'bout it :)

Now, you will all fortunately see what us Sega fans have been raging about all these years! VF4 v. T4? hahahaa! We will see!
BTW, VF4 of course would not have been made for DC. It is a NAOMI2 game, easily twice as powerful with much more Memory! It would look terrible in comparison. At least with PS2, and hopefully (for textures sake) X-Box, it will at least greatly resemble it\'s arcade brother.

This is a crazy time for videogames. Once again, Sega decides to push the envelope and rock the boat and to tell you the truth I love it! Muhahahahahahha! Besides, things IMO were getting a little dull in the videogame industry(oh wait...it\'s not March yet!). I\'m actually pretty excited about how Sega will fair on the PS2 hardware. Very excited indeed.
And by the way, what\'s up with EA "warning" Sega that as a third-party publisher they will run into problems. :rolleyes: What a joke!! What they really wanted to say was,"Sega, please don\'t come in and put up your NFL2K series against our Madden series. Now that your titles are on Ps2, gamers don\'t have to think twice about getting a dreamcast to play your games! Oh darn. Oh and please don\'t put up NBA2k vs our Live series. Ya know were really on a roll right now, were making a lot of profits and well...ya know what? Money is a good thing to have. Please don\'t ruin it for us." :laughing: :laughing:
Don\'t get me wrong, I love EA because I\'ve played Live to death and I\'m currently addicted to SSX, but this whole warning business is such a crock a S**T that I have to laugh. Do you really think that Sega gives a FAT LADY\'S A** what the F*** they think after they turned their back on them? C\'mon! If I were Mr. Peter Moore, I would phone the EA reps and leave a message saying," Hey guys, don\'t worry about us because Sega\'s entry into the third-party market is gonna be,\'SWEETER THAN CANDY\'. Have a nice day."(click)
By the way it\'s good to see the forums up again. :smokin:
-
altho the announcement is really, really good, i can\'t really see virtua fighter on anything BUT a sega console. it\'s weird, it\'s definitely weird.
and have any of you heard that there may be 2 versions of virtua fighter 4 going around ? supposedly there\'s still a virtua fighter x (even tho it\'s been announced that the official name is now VF4). vfx is supposedly arcade only, but might make it\'s way to the xbox. after hearing about that, this whole virtua fighter thing is crazy confusing.
-
I\'m very happy this happened for 2 reasons.
1. Sega make good games and now I can enjoy them all
2. All those Sega FanBoys will shut up now :)
-
Yeah really. I bet Sega fanboys will switch over to Ps2 (I think they\'ll go Xbox)
-
What I would really like to hear are the sega fanboys\' thoughts on this matter. Are you out there? Yoo-Hoo!!
-
Sega Fanboys will shut up now? ha! you make me laugh! Once everyone has seen the err in their evil ways of denying Sega games and systems, we come out of the woodwork to catch you on your idiocy! We only get louder now that Sega\'s games will directly compete (and arguably will make fools of) other third party games ont he same system. Alas, it will be fun times!

In case anyone still doesn\'t know,Sega will be developing for ALL the systems.They already annouced games that are currently coming to the DC(they will still support it for another year most likely),PS2 and GBA.Ps2 is getting 5 or 6 games(VF4,and four other uncomfirmed games), and GBA is officialygetting Sonic,Chu Chu Rocket and Puyo Puyo.No games have been annouced yet for NGC or X-Box but Sega said they would support both of those systems.
PS-VF4 is gonna rock!:)
-
Blah. I think it totally sucks. But, at least it gives me a reason to play my PS2. Because, I haven\'t played it in along time. Either way, its a win situation for everyone. Sega fans (i.e, me and altered) can still play great Sega games and PS2 fans can play those (and XBox fans).
I just hate the idea of the DC being gone soon. \'Tis was a good console.
:(

my question is how good will sega\'s games look on the psx2. Don\'t get me wrong i\'m sure sega will work hard on them, but how will they compare to a xbox version. Now yes xbox is more powerful but i ment developer ease, and the psx2 has the aa issues in where the hardware takes hit. They will have to work like a ***** on the programming, and lose foucs on creativity.(to a dgree)
I am disspointed that sega would even waste there time on the PSX2 and wish they would foucu on XBOX exclusivly, that way the hardrive would be implement int he game. This would really make sega\'s games shine. Think about shenmue on the XBOX using the HARDRIVE, now that would ROCK!!!!!
HArd drive is a major facter in game play it takes it to a new level. anyways i\'m rabbling on here, but i understand that going multi platform is the only way for sega to get out of the rut and make some big dollars
-
I got mixed feelings about VF4 being on ps2, yeah it may sound great but I think It\'l turn out crap, It\'ll turn out jagged and badly textured- am I underestimating ps2\'s power?
but on the other hand, am2 is a very talented team, they know how to tap the ps2 hardware (they maxed out the saturn!) I have to wait and see!
-
yep if they can max out the saturn they can do anything. ANd keep in mind that the ps2 is getting easier and easier to program for by the day. Its a new system people had to learn how to use it. I even think there is middle-ware out there that makes it easy to use the vector units (code masters possibly)
I am actually getting pretty sick of hearing everyone say texture texture texture. Yeah its nice that x-box can do that and gamecube as well, but they aren\'t even out yet and will probably barely make a ripple in the ps2\'s pond.
I am sure the jaguar had some cool things it could do but why make games for system nobody has ?
Could someone please tell me how many games namco made for dreamcast ? How many aaa games namco made for dreamcast ?
exactly and the x-box is going to be the same way, the hardcore gamers will buy it and thats about it. Was the n64 more powerful than ps one ? yep where were all the good games (for adults)
psone
will i get an x-box - yep
will it have the best overall games - nope
-
I agree with you!
the new ps2 TOOl should help am2, but I\'m still a bit unsure about it
I think I need to get over the idea of sega making ps2 games!
and yes, xbox wont have the best games
-
Ha! Sega has been using multi processor consoles and arcade machines for years. Ever hear odf Saturn 32X or SegaCD? And they produced stuff no one thought imaginable with all of these systems, plus the TITAN, etc.
Sega will, without a doubt, impress everyone and probably make the best looking games.

Sega shouldn\'t snob off there OWN system. That\'s just stupid. Though i hate neally all SEGA MADE games.
I only like some of the racers. I got sick of sonic after number 2.
I don\'t like the VF series. Tekken rocks over it any day. I\'ve been playing the tekken games sense part 1 came out at my local movie center.
But if sega want too develope for all systems. I think they should go for it. I\'m not gonna buy any of there games anyway. Everyone i\'ve got yet. I\'ve put down after 1 hour. Sega games just seem too bore me. GO NAMCO!!!. :D
-
riiiigghhhttt. :rolleyes:
You need to play their non-arcade games then. Becuase just like the arcade games, their RPG\'s etc are to die for. I really can\'t believe how you don\'t like basically ANY Sega games. That seems a tad close-minded as they are all different.
We\'ll see, BTW, what looks better, VF4 or T4. The innovator or the imitator. The teacher or the student. The master or the apprentice. the first 3D fighter or the 2nd.
