>Sega is developing a "Super Game" initiative, a major, high-budget ($800M+ over 5 years) AAA project designed for global, long-term, and cross-platform appeal, aimed for release by March 2026. The initiative aims to move beyond traditional gaming with a, potentially, live-service, community-driven ecosystem, possibly featuring remakes of classic, major, or new IPs.

btw this got reduced to a four-year probation period where the jail time will be thrown out if he doesn't commit any crimes during that period. That was in 2023 so by 2027 the sentence will be dropped.

Dude served no jail time, just had to pay over 175 million yen in fines, which sounds like a ton until you realize that's only like 1.2 million USD.

Sony also cancelled dozen of live-service titles/spin-offs, and I'm sure many other publishers are doing the same thing with their unannounced projects (hero shooters, battle royales, extraction shooters, etc.)
Now they are just waiting for a new trend to pop up (and not die in less than a week) so they can copy the shit out of it.

Sega makes (publishes) my favorite games Yakuza and Persona so I'm very happy they're not wasting (more) money on live service. I just wish they hadn't wasted that money already. I thought Hyenas was the only live service game they were doing. Looking forward to the new Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio.

The amount he was ordered to pay back was what he made. He did insider trading over some Final Fantasy mobile game that didn't even do that well. He would have made more money if he actually focused on making Balan good, hilariously. He was somehow bad at insider trading.

The same report says that Sega is jumping off the GaaS train (for new F2P titles) while maintaining their existing F2P titles (like NGS).

The shareholder report is more brutal if you dive into the data. The words they use try to minimize the impact on the Japan stock price as much as possible but its really bad.
https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/1p0qreq/segas_profits_plunge_91_due_to_weak_game_sales/

Like when Hyenas got canned they had to humiliate ritual Sega of Europe in their report to shift blame away from Japanese management and avoid their stock tanking further.

>>738730293
No it's still going, that's why it's sunk cost fallacy. They can't declare NGS done and cut it's losses, the moment they do in it's sorry state currently, that's the second Phantasy star as an Ip dies, because of how badly Ngs and by extension Pso2 was mismanaged, no one is gonna trust anything with the name Phantasy star ever again.

Sunk cost fallacy would be if they were trying to turn it around and investing money into it still, they've accepted that it's a failure and just keep it running because it still makes them some amount of money while all they have to do is reskin a few enemies per year and keep pumping out low effort cosmetics

Like, I hate Naka as much as the next guy but he's not the one that programmed the basic movement system, the demo was so fucking back it probably killed 95% of the game sales on its own. It had the worst movement ever in a platformer
>>
>>738733105
It's more like an early access game. They release something unfinished, claim they will support it for years and then just don't do that. They also often have the added caveat of also making the game inaccessible when it shuts-down. So they're glorified demos that you rent.

Not even that will be enough to replace what Pso2 use to get them before NGS was rushed out, again you comparing the short term gain from the sales of a single player game like Stranger than Heaven, to the massive loss in profits that's happened over 5 years ever since NGS was rushed out and neglected. Not mention STH isn't even guaranteed to be a good game even though it looks extremely promising.

SEGA is retarded so they realize a bit too late that they've made a grave mistake. The average AAA western dev is not a retard, they are a zealot. Even if their last slop failed and left them on the brink of death, they are willing to try again because imagine if they are finally right this time.

And which games started that, dipshit. There's a reason the original Xbox didn't get RE4 and that was because Microsoft thought video games were fucking movies. Right after the first Gaylo game, Microsoft wanted a Gaylo movie. That tells you everything you need to know. Sony's western branch being retarded as they were, spent years wanting to copy Microsoft. Sony Japan never wanted them to but started loosening their leash. Now those retards only make movie shit. Glad Sony Japan about to finally push their shit in.

I hope so to but I doubt it since I doubt it has a huge budget put into its development. Wasn't that Shinobi game regarded as complete shit on here despite it getting decent reviews? I wouldn't trust Sega with any of their classic IP's no more. I'd hand Golden Axe to Vanillaware and give them enough funding to produce a solid beat 'em up.

>>738726928
For some reason, everyone who calls the shots at most major publishers cannot understand that you can't just do what your competition is doing "but better, more efficiently, or with more popular IP." Somehow, they don't understand that no one who's playing Fortnite right now is only going to leave it when they're thoroughly sick of it, and anything like it. And the same is true of every other live service. Somehow, they're obsessed with putting all their eggs in one basket, over and over again. Every game is a risk. Trying to avoid risk only reduces the odds you'll succeed, and spending a ton of money doesn't guarantee you'll make more. A lot of small risks is better than one big one. It's easier to appeal to a wider range of people with multiple distinct offerings rather than just one, too.
>>
>>738724550
Every live service super game should have been immediately cancelled after square enix's mega flop avengers game. The fact that corporate suits still went full throttle on this slop goes to show just how retarded they are
>>
>>738743160
Looking at what Microsoft's been doing since 2001, what they did to the Dreamcast, what they're doing now, woke me up to them. They're evil and are the most dangerous company in gaming, that's why I'm enjoying their failings. I'm not worried about PlayStation's western branches, they're currenting being neutered by Sony Japan. Are game studios here in the US only work well as indies. Big Tech shitters need to stay out of gaming. I already had a feeling Microsoft had their hands in this Sega Super Project, they always want to keep pushing these retarded ass woke AAA games. Microsoft never understood gaming. You can't throw money at a problem and expect everything to fix itself.

Yeah, a new PSO game isn't going to come out for a long time. They guaranteed that when they tied NGS to base PSO2 instead of making it its own standalone thing completely.
As it stands, PSO2 now has two entire fucking generations of account-linked shit that will go poof when service is finally discontinued.

No, Super Gayme is just the name of the project. It was supposed to be $850 million dollar plan over 5 years to bring out high-budget sequels of their IPs.

Hollywood likes to cancel movies because of tax write-offs. By cancelling their billion dollar super game, Sega can now have a tax write-off of 1 billion dollars.

>Hollywood studios, notably Warner Bros. Discovery, have increasingly used tax write-offs to cancel completed or near-completed films (e.g., Batgirl, Coyote vs. Acme) to cut costs, rebalance balance sheets, or avoid marketing expenses. This strategy allows studios to treat the production cost as a loss, providing immediate financial relief, especially following mergers

it's pretty obvious how much planning went into the post-release monetization to pad the earnings for this game because they anticipated it would be a total flop had they not done so

Not after the Dreamcast, but after being acquired by Sammy.

Sega's internal dev teams were gutted or shut down. Smilebit, Overworks (pretty much replaced by Atlus), UGA, Hitmaker, AM2 (RGGG making VF6 confirms AM2 are no more) etc, are all gone.

Reiko Kodama is dead (and Sega didn't care)? Suzuki, Oba, Ohshima, Arai, Naka are all long gone.

Only Sonic Team and RGGG remain, really. Sega outsource most projects and are really just a publisher.

Insider trading is banned not because it would mean insiders would win all the time, but because it would cause the whole system to fail. Think about it. If you left it completely legal for people who work for companies to buy and sell their own stock based on stuff only they could know, then who is going to be the other side of that transaction? Who would buy into SEGA knowing that insiders are likely the ones doing the selling? Who would sell knowing that insiders are the ones doing the buying? The only reason the stock market holds together is because BOTH parties think they are right. And BOTH parties have an equal opportunity to be wrong.

I'm sure this is coming after this season pass ends. No way they're missing their chance to use what they tried with Rumble (costumes and characters) on a better and more popular game, they just needed the time to realize the game was good after all.
Unless they finally bring the fucking donpa tickets shop and shove new (free) SEGA and Sonic characters and costumes there to buy once in a while, while leaving the heavy hitters and crossovers for the season pass, but that seems too good to be true.
Guess we need to wait and see if they make the right choice.

The people in this thread that are criticizing sega for the decision aren't seeing the bigger picture. Sega's done this before: they know how to cut their losses. The cut their whole console business to stick to games, and they're still around. I think they're smarter than most. Stupid people double-down, they don't accept reality. Smart people see the signs and pivot, drastically if needed.

I could save Marathon.
-Bring in traditional multiplayer modes with 4vs4 and 8vs8 modes.
-CTF, Territories and Oddball
This cost nothing to them, modders do it FOR FREE.
Next...
-Focus on doing seasonal Single Player / Co-Op chapters
-PVE mode Extraction that triples the amount of enemies in contrast to PVP
-PVP modes that take into account custom characters and reward grinding
Once the game is properly funded do the inverse of Destiny and add a post-launch Marathon campaign.

I know Bungie allocated more man power now but explain to me how 200 people couldn't prepare more than 3 trash maps by launch? 20 Guys is more than enough to create several MP maps and it is not like Marathon's are any good.

that's precisely why the system itself is a nonsensical facade. It does not represent real value and worth, it's just a virtual game made to enrich wall street yuppies with no effort, but it will implode immediately as soon as someone "cheats"... And it's trivially easy to "cheat", so much so it seems like cheating should be the default state of the game, due to being the most obvious route to take

same reason konami isn't dead: they have a few stable money printer franchises (yugioh and sonic for 1 example for each) that will take like 50 years at least to fully die off so they have to make a swift, monumentally retarded and utterly incompetent decision to actually throw it all in the trash instead of dying slowly due to comparatively smaller fumbles

The pattern is when he was still at Sega, from the little things like his glazing portrayals of Chinese characters in his games since 4, to the more controversial things like him passive-aggressively antagonistizing the puyo puyo fanbase, the radical decision to change yakuza's playstyle with 7 and again the biggest offense of pushing for a revival of a niche game like Sakura wars over Pso2 finally breaking outo into the global eye.

Developers are finally realizing there’s a limited amount of live service games in the same subgenre that can be popular simultaneously. The only way to make a sustainable one now is by making a new subgenre, being the alternative to the main one in a subgenre or using pre-established, popular IP like that Marvel one.
