Sony is now trying to get Bleemcasts source code. If they get it, it will be integrated into it\'s Playstation Driver. Bleemcast PSX does look better than PSX games on the PS2 turned to smooth.

Yeah. In my personal opinion, I don\'t see as Sony has any right to the BleemCast! source code, just to improve their own PS drivers.

I could take it or leave it.

I like Sony\'s games better than Sega\'s and that\'s my preference. I\'m tired of people always parroting "Sega makes great games.." Blah Blah Blah. Polly want a cracker?

Yeah, Sega does make good games, but so does Sony. Sega\'s tend to be more "Arcadey" and Sony\'s are more diverse and...well...different.

I like Rpg\'s and other more obscure titles better than Arcade style, so I like Sony\'s games better.

Just my opinion.:)

LOL, I thinks this marks the 100th time I\'ve heard this rumor.  Yet everytime people eat it up like candy. :laughing:

I never did get the hardware argument either.  Aside from the Saturn and it\'s cousins, Sega has made great hardware, the DC being their best yet.  I would even go as far as to say the DC is the best designed console in gaming history.  (although soon to be surpassed, probably by the XBox).

I guess some people like to induldge in repetitive wishful thinking, but I wish they would stop with the rumors and just live with Sega making great games on it\'s own hardware, or wait for an offical annoucement by the company itself.  Until then, I guess these rumors will continue pop up every 3 months as a continuing trend among anti-Sega enthusiasts.

Cygnus, you must have missed all those sports, RPG, racing, flying, driving, adventure, horror, action, platofrm, etc. games that Sega makes and has made, becuase believe it or not, but they are far more diverse than Sony will ever be.
And the funny thing is, is that every year, they find ways to top even themselves with new gameplay and game ideas. It still blows my mind.

And how many games does sony really make? Probably about 10% of PSX\'s titles were made by Sony and its 2nd parties, if that. Sega releases and creates probaly 30%, Nintendo about 50%.

I agree with Cygnus, I\'m so tired of the Sega defense team always putting the DC on a pedestal. By the time this generation is done, the all these great DC games won\'t seem as great as they do now although they\'ll always be considered good games they\'ll lose there luster in the long haul, Sega was/is just the 1st in line with next gen hardware and next gen games.

I would like to see Sega become a 3rd party developer publisher like Konami, EA, Square, namco, Capcom etc... The business can always use another strong publisher/developer. Of course Sega has to make some money 1st.

I also don\'t think we can expect any official Sega announcement on this until its obvious to all the DC is slowing in momnetum it will be after Christmas 2001 before anything truly official probably makes it out

I\'m not even touching this one (The SEGA vs Sony games).  

I would like to see Sega get bought out by MS or Nintendo, before they went third party for every system. I rather them focus all resources on one system.
 But of course, if they did go third party, I\'d still buy the games.

But Ddaryl is right, they wouldn\'t announce this until after the DC was about dead.

Naw Sega has the talent to be very resourceful across the board, just like EA, Konami etc....

I\'m sure MS, Nintendo and SOny would love to finance some Sega exclusives for there systems so money would come from there. Sega lining themselves up with just one hardware maker could prove to be equally devestating as trying to maintain there own hardware business. The only intelligent way to approach this is provide support for all 3 and see who\'s left standing who offers the best place to make big money then focus more there.
