>According to Sega's latest reports: Sega plans to release its first "Super Game" by the end of March 2026What is the status update on this?
Sonic Villains
Wasn't Hyenas supposed to be their supergame?
>>729757110"Super Game" isn't a single game, it's like an initiative and silly title they have for a higher budget and bar of "quality" like other companies (Ubisoft for example) have "quadruple A". I think Hyenas was the first one but can't remember if there was any official designation for it.
>>729757816Quality wasn't the tagline. They've put the online and live service division (Kimura's) in charge of it because super games were supposed to redefine online gaming, connectivity (including between games) and player habits. Sega execs pushed for their own metaverse, after this shit already failed miserably overseas.
>>729758625Yuya Kimura? LOL
>>729756543live service goyslop. I hope it flops
>>729756543Wasn't the "super game" the now cancelled Hyenas?
>>729759305nope
60hz does suck though. In 50hz the sonic music has this magical, dreamy feeling to it. In 60hz it sounds like the hamster dance or one of those alvin and the chipmunk remixes
>>729759482What is 432Hz because I like that.
>>729759190It's insane, it has real life location chasing bullshit like Pokemon GO. Here's a patent application for a solution that prevents too many players rushing to the same spot IRL to avoid overcrowding:https://www.j-platpat.inpit.go.jp/c1801/PU/JP-2025-137559/11/jaFramework for sharing progress between different live service games, so that it's more efficient to farm a little in multiple games than it would be to dedicate all this time to one game:https://www.j-platpat.inpit.go.jp/c1801/PU/JP-2025-113356/11/ja
>>729760090meme frequency for hippies and occultists
>>729756543it was Hyenas, they tried lying about it, but it was Hyenas
>>729762156wrong
>>729756543>its first "Super Game" by the end of March 2026Its first "Super game" was Hyenas. Tell SEGA to fuck off and make a real video game.
>>729763952Right...NTA but I do not believe none of these currently dog-shit developers who are poor with handling money and optimization to have any more "Super Games" than what they tried to released that garnered very poor reception.
>>729760121They are about to somehow outdo the bazz-b game, holy shit.
>>729757110HYENAS was supposed to be the FIRST "Super Game". 'Super Game' is just the title for multiple AAA projects because of Engrish. The next 'super game' projects coming out are supposed to be the Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio live-service games.
>>729756543If Supergame was ever actually just a single game, it must have been silently canned by now. Every studio in the world is giving up on huge blockbuster, high budget games because of the videogames downturn. Someone at SEGA must have given the order.
>>729765741>>729757816Get real. Every game going forward is a "Super Game" at these stupid prices. Whatever chance of an idea of a "Super Game" is long gone!
>>729766059We know from the Q3 investor presentation in IIRC either later October or early November that the project consists of multiple games and due to Sega running record losses (it's the 80% down that everyone repeated), they have to reduce the scope of the project. Patents submitted in 2025 and 2024 say that they were working on connecting progression in multiple games and using mobile networks + GPS for invasive tracking of players to adjust content served to them based on where they are in the moment and whether they're stationary or moving, like in public transportation.
>>729756543>What is the status update on this?I thought pic related was the "super game" they kept talking about: an umbrella term for multiple projects developed under the initiative to revive a bunch of their old IPs.
>>729757110N-No, that was something entirely related to the planned super game. I mean, super games.
>>729756543>Super Game*Super GamesHYENAS was is by the way
>>729765741source?
>>729767278Some of those IPs will get Super Games in the future
This was the 'Super Game', Hyenas was not. cease the doomposting.https://youtu.be/Z9d9tGZWG70?si=JPowu4omCdBXlNjL
>>729757110yep
A new Yakuza game with double the amount of Kiryu. More Kiryu than was ever thought possible.
>>729767678KIwami 3 will not sell as well due to Kagawa and the fact that nobody asked for it
>>729767789isn't Yakuza big in japan? I bet it will sell well there
>>729767789Does Mine at least talk about Kiryu constantly?
>>729767482https://www.sega.co.jp/en/recruit/episode/episode06/https://www.sega.co.jp/en/recruit/episode/episode07/https://www.sega.co.jp/en/recruit/episode/episode10/Of course fucking Kikuchi, who was the guy responsible for pushing for a new Yakuza game every single year, was put on this project.Some key points:>global oriented, simultaneous global launch>multiplatform, from arcades through home systems to phones>metaverse, ARG, NFTs and all the other fads they're late to catch>cashing in on zoomers who watch streamers instead of playing games>games with built-in hooks for stream viewers to interact with streamer's instance of the game>other forms of media with direct integration in games (think watching TV, commercial and instagram feeds)>new forms of gacha and monetization that bypass anti-lootbox laws in Europe
>>729767889>isn't Yakuza big in japan? To women iirc. I think the West bought more copies of LaD7 than Japan, so I'd imagine that trend has followed through to now. I wouldn't be surprised if the men jumped ship to the Gang of Dragons.>>729767993We'd probably get one Kiryu name drop the entire Mine saga from Daigo
>>729768217None of these interviews talk about Hyenas
>>729768996Sorry, I thought you were asking about the other games. Those interviews do mention relying on old and established IPs, so the revival is tied to it in some way.
>>729756543They scaled ir down due to being to ambitious from what i heard, also those sega games announced at tga in 2023 are part of the super game initiative
