I wish SEGA made consoles. Nintendo is greedy as shit now, and Microsoft will soon exit after the next generation anyways. Sony makes movies so they don't count. We need GAMES.

I think console gaming is just straight up dying at this point

>>713925226
Well if video game companies would stop spending a literal fortune to make slop and instead. just make some stylised games that didn't preach about how chopping off your dick or about how evil men are, then maybe console gaming wouldn't be struggling right now.

>>713925008 (OP)
I'm just going Switch 2 and Steam Deck 2 next gen. Halo Studios and the Rog Xbox Ally is just a preview of the future of Xbox, full-on outsourcing as a publishing firm. The Microsoft teams will just lead the projects but every game will be made by a third party instead of Microsoft's own studios who are no longer big enough to make their own games. Microsoft will let others make their hardware until that flops. By that point, Microsoft will just be third parties releasing their games on Switch and Steam with the new strategy mentioned above. They will gut most of their studios to do this. Xbone era Microsoft is back with a vengeance. I don't know what's going to happen to PlayStation given the shit they make. If things don't pick up with them, and I don't expect them to, they'll most likely be out of gaming entirely given that they seem more interested in anime anyway. Future of gaming seems to be Nintendo, Valve, good indies, and AAs. Only AAA will do well are the non-woke gameplay-focused ones.

Nobody wants to make consoles anymore

>Nintendo isn't in dire straits so they aren't driven to make anything good now
>End result is nintendo just robbing everyone of money since they'll buy it anyway
>Sony stopped making games since PS3
>MS gave up
>Sega just got fucked up because of their own bad choices and a market at the time that didn't want the kind of games they made

I just use my pc and play old games, indies and the occasional AA game, it's a peaceful life.

But alas, here we are.

what if you played games that personally interest you instead of doom scrolling /v/?

Sega doesn't have enough active IPs and manpower that can compete with Nintendo and Sony, and Xbox is already the third wheel that broke ass bitches buy when nothing else is in stock, so there's no place for Sega in the console wars. Sonic hasn't had a good game since they cancelled Swat KATS. Yakuza is just Japanese GTA but only weebs play it, and Persona is more of a meme than a real game. They have no audience outside of the autistic and there's only so much of their parents money to go around.

>Yakuza is just Japanese GTA
I wish, then it would actually be fun

>>713925008 (OP)
Sega has no mainstay IPs anymore and all the IPs they do have that aren't currently big (I.e. not Sonic, Yakuza, or Atlus-based) are stuck in Arcade-era gameplay which would only appeal to nostalgiafags. Everyone who wants a Sega console fails to realize that no one but nostalgiafags want something like a AAA Golden Axe that plays like the originals and the new iterations of these games would be nothing like their old counterparts. That's also ignoring the issue of people who would riot over being charged $60 for basically a 2 hour long game (Altered Beast or Golden Axe) or $60 for what is ostensibly a minigame nowadays (Crazy Taxi).

Ecco and Jet Set Radio are like the only things I can think of that would realistically sell at a $60ish price and still be true to what the games were outside of Samba de Amigo and Billy Hatcher. Even then you have games like Bomb Rush Cyberfunk as an example of a brand that almost instantly went to a budget title and is on constant sales so I can't imagine it wasn't having issues finding an audience despite being a JSR spiritual successor in a way.

Sega's currently funneling money into trying to bring some of these older IPs into the modern day climate, but I just have no idea how a AAA Crazy Taxi game is going to play out without essentially not being Crazy Taxi since even the basic gameplay style is patched into games like Days Gone as free DLC because it's a glorified minigame in this day and age, not a whole concept to focus a game around.

I want to like the new Golden Axe, but promotional images aren't giving me much hope. Hope they change the art for the game.

>I wish the company that released the Genesis, 32x, CD, and Saturn all in a five year run would make more consoles

>>713925008 (OP)
The games industry and gamers alike didn't reward Sega for their hardware, innovations and quality games, it rewarded companies that copied Sega like Nintendo.

Please, a little respect here. I gave Mork the idea in the first place.

Sega leaving the hardware race and being replaced by microsoft was the single worst thing to happen to the medium.

>>713928750
Agreed

Why doesn't Sega lend its name to manufacture something like the Steam Deck or something similar? Microsoft just licensed an Xbox handheld PC, if I'm not mistaken. Sega could launch its own handheld with an open operating system and everything, but add something special like an SD card slot like the Nintendo Switch, and sell some physical games for collectors this way.
Man, I'm a genius. I hope Sega reads this and tries to hire me.

>>713928750
The worst thing to happen to any medium in over the past decade has been social justice and moral busy-bodies sanitising everything. I wish the hardware race was the worst thing.

Has LRG done anything like Radirgy?

>>713925008 (OP)
You're not old enough to remember this, but Sega was the greediest. Their games and consoles cost more than Nintendo or Sony, which is what led to their downfall.

>>713930151
They made one (1) mistake with the sega saturn pricing and shot their load too soon, that is not them being greedy like nintendo and charging $80 for mario kart and saying things like "variable pricing"

>>713930151
Dreamcast was $100 cheaper than the PS2 at launch, and the Genesis was cheaper than the SNES as long as you didn't fall for the addons.

>>713929875
OEMs never work; Microsoft is about to find that out the hard way.
