Sega loves GameCube. :)

No, you kinda misunderstood me. I meant to say that the next Shenmue after 2 will look true to real life. I am sure with some work a GC version could look like this. But of what I have seen of Project Ego, I am betting they go this way. You never know though.

Porting from PS2 would not be easy in any way though. Porting from DC to GC took a month because both have great OS. PS2 is crap to port to and fro.

Well yeah, if Am2 were to develop Shenmue 3 for all the next-gen systems from the ground up then the Xbox version would probably look the best, but the NGC version wouldn\'t be too far behind it. And there sin\'t really a game where you can truly compare with Project Ego graphics wise on NGC. Eternal Darkness is the only one that I can compare and Project Ego doesn\'t look that much better than it.

Anyways, I think we should wait to see if AM2 is developing for Xbox before we make any more assumptions.

Porting from PS2 would not be easy in any way though. Porting from DC to GC took a month because both have great OS. PS2 is crap to port to and fro.

But it\'s still pretty impressive nonetheless. A NGC port might take around 5 -9 months or maybe even less if AM2 can truly master PS2.

I think GameCube can easily handle Shenmue too. Shenmue pushed roughly 5 mpps and had great textures.

Shenmue pushed 5mpps... Um, where did you get that info from? Shenmue looks awesome, but I seriously doubt it was anywhere near 5mpps.

I remeber reading a long time ago that it pushed 3-5mpps. I also read that it pushed DC to it\'s maxium power. I\'m not too sure, but it was around 5 million.

More Sega and Nintendo news.

Sega Confirms Spaceworld Plans

 Sega confirmed today that their lineup of GameCube titles will be formally shown at Nintendo\'s Spaceworld event later this summer in Japan. According to Sonic Team director Yuji Naka, specifics regarding the network and multiplayer modes in the GameCube version of Phantasy Star Online will be unveiled at the show. It\'s currently unknown whether playable version of Sega\'s other two confirmed GameCube titles, Virtua Striker 3 and Super Moneky Ball, will be shown. Similarly, while Sega has confirmed seven GameCube projects in development, it\'s unclear whether any new titles will be unveiled at the event.

I doubt some of you realize the significance of this move but let me explain. Only the big guns get showned at Spaceworld, you don\'t see any lousy games being showed there because Nintendo wouldn\'t allow it(Spaceworld is an all Nintendo show BTW). Sega must have something big planned because Nintendo wouldn\'t let them come if they didn\'t.

/me hopes Sega announces Sonic 3 for GameCube.

toot on Sega....toot on

You know, you\'re right.  While I don\'t like the tooting idea, I agree that Sega has been underrated in the past.  I relate to this personally as I\'ve never owned a Sega system and aside from the few Sonic and football experiences I\'ve had, my Sega gaming has been slim.

Oh and to add about the upcoming Sega titles, I\'d like to mention that Monkey Ball sure looks :cute: ;]

Nah I don\'t believe it. Nothing against you, I just don\'t trust wherever you read it from. Unless it comes directly from Suzuki\'s mouth. Shenmue looks amazing and I\'m sure its pushing the DC, but I doubt it\'s 5mpps.
