rumblings of something huge going on with SEGA

V3 said:
dang it i want a new one , with a new engine on new hardware.

Yeah hopefully we will see VF5, summer next year, or the year after.

THe ps2 ruined vf4 for me , I can't even look at it . Makes me sick

I know what you mean, PS2 VF4 looks bad compared to the arcade version. When Final Tuned comes, I am pretty sure you can get arcade VF4 Evo for cheap. All arcades will upgrade to Final Tuned. All you need is Naomi2 and accessories.

money isn't a big deal . (well not to my dad ) and he'd most likely want to put it in his game room so he wouldn't want it used.

What could it go for 8 grand or so new ? mabye 18k ?
 
I will however allude to something that should happen. SEGA hardware may make an appearnce of some kind, for outside the home mind you.

Hmm... Sammy bring pachincos to the states using the Sega brand? Hey I'm serious - these things are big money-generators if they take off.
 
Sega is being bought by jvd's dad :oops:
Will the next VF have jvd as playable character, I bet the chances are high if the above is true!
 
With Sega announcing Outrun 2 for Xbox, I doubt that they will be with just one console.

Here is a crazy idea, they announce Shenmue 3 will be released to coincide with the release of a movie based on the games.

well he can't afford to buy sega .

Not after sega bought ms and sony .

So he is just going to buy nintendo. He figures there is already an italian rolemodel on that system and he will make a grand theft auto like game but all about the mob in new jersey .


My father is an italian "banker"

18k is like the asking price around Model 3 days :LOL: Back then arcade machines were really expensive, many arcade owner went out of business because of that kind of price.

But now new is around 8 grand, you'll get everything, if you don't already have the rest already. But if you have the rest and don't mind second hand Naomi 2, you can get it for around $500. Old games range from $200 to $600. New or popular game is around $1000+, depend on the game.
 
I remember a friend bought Virtua fighter 3 ARCADE for aprox 15000 current EURO (was Belgien Frank at the time)

I just have to guess that JVD hates Sony and everything that relates to them because he thinks that Kutaragi killed his beloved Sega ;)
 
na i hate them because i went through 2 playstations , a car stero , an amp , 4 car speakers and a dvd player . All within a year .

Yet i still have a vextor vision that works , i still have a 24 year old record player that works (older than i am) i still have a cheap 50 $ dvd player that works .

Wow, that's what i'd call bad luck ;)
 
sorry, but I just couldn't resist digging up something I remembered you said before

From this thread:
jvd said:
why should it be sony .

That would be the worse move.

I don't want sony to gain anymore market share. I want them to loose market share and ms and nintendo gain market share so that unlike on my desktop i have choices and don't have to just buy a sony if i want to play video games in my living room .

Personaly i hate the fact that i'd have to buy 3 diffrent systems to play sega games on .

I wanted to get the new panzer dragoon . But i'm not going to go spend 150$ on an xbox for just 1 game . I want vf 4 but i'm not going to buy a ps 2 for it .

I want the games on one system .

:?

Edit: ok, maybe I'm reading it wrong. Am I right that you'd still want the games to be on one system, but only if it were MS, Sega or Nintendo,
but not Sony
2 x :?
 
Since no one is commenting on my reply further up, I might aswell do so myself.... :LOL:

Just some random idea that might be quite likely:

SEGA going handheld again. :!: 8)

Thinking about this a little longer: I certainly don't see SEGA coming back with a console this soon - I do however think (by some hints from Sonic) that the announcement is hardware related... and this brought me to this thread:

PowerVR® Shows Off its Curves at GDC 2004

6.jpg


key advantage of this technology is that it allows complex graphical models to be compactly represented with curved surfaces for transmission across mobile networks. Such compression could be 10:1 or even higher. This, combined with texture compression technology in PowerVR MBX, enables advanced game content to be delivered over mobile phone networks using a minimal amount of bandwidth.

What are the chances of seing something like this in a SEGA handheld? What are the chances of Sega coming back with a handheld to challenge Nintendo (DS) and Sony (PSP)? Sega doomed?

YOur confusing things .

I want sega games on one system.

I still want there to be 3 console choices out there . I will just pick the one that has the sega games . Because I can't afford to own a playstation 2 for vf 4 , xbox for panzer and a cube for sonic .




As for the rest we have a virtual fighter 1 arcade set up that my father bought from the tropicana casino when they closed up the arcade / park for kids .
 
Ah, ok.
Sorry, now that I read your posts it is quite clear.

But for the mainstream gamer, Sega games being exclusively on one system isn't the best option, as they'll lose many good games.
For a Sega fan, that would of course be ideal.
Just as for Sony fan, it would be ideal if all Nintendo and Sega games would be available on Sony console.
That leads us back to the 'perfect world' situation of one console 'standard' (if we look at the situation on a broader point of view, not just few individuals).

No you don't get it .

Sega is already exclusively on one system. At least certian games are .

I would be fine if paner dragoon came out on all the systems . But its only on the box .

So instead of having sega games exclusively on certian systems , i'd rather have them all exclusively on 1 system .

For myself them being on the nintendo would be the best option as i enjoy those games too.

The playstation being the worse cause if i wanted to use a super nintendo controller i would play super nintendo .

uhhh.. but isn't that just what I said I thought you meant.
Or is it? I'm so confused now..... :? :? :?

What if it really is Cell phone's sega is getting into. I mean getting purchased by nokia or even IMG, and the next hardware they release is cell phone related? Don't forget that sega sold off sega net to Nokia I think?

Did one of the rumors say that they hardware they release will be silver or platinum in color? How about a new N-gage?
 
No your still wrong.

What would be ideal for sony fans after you look past the short term would be 3 or 4 strong players in the console sector .

Sony the market leader with what 80% of the market buying or destroying one of the contenders (nintnedo) is horrible on its own as there would be only two hardware makers left and one would only have 10% of the market . Sorta like a windows vs apple years ago .

If then they got sega that would make all the sega fans buy that console .


What would be ideal is nintendo buying sega . Nintendo is a game maker and would out of the big options know how to let sega operate on thier own as a 2nd party with few changes made to sega if done right . That would provide nintendo with many more 1st party titles that only they have and would get nintendo alot of sega fans to strengthen their market share .

Ms getting sega would help them in japan where they need help bad and also help give them more quality first party games that aren't shooters or sports .
