Do you think it could have saved the Sega Saturn in the west? The n64 hanged on to life because of two killer apps, why wouldn't the saturn hang to life with one?
nothing could have saved the saturn ever.stop making these threads
>>12567558I know what could've saved the Saturn.You buying it when it came out.
>>12567558>it could have saved the Sega Saturn in the westit would have killed it even fasterThis shit was unplayable. Just watch the Youtube videos of trying to play Sonic through a fisheye lens.
There's no conceivable way it could've ever seriously competed against Mario 64 and Crash. You have to be the most delusional person alive to think that this weird fish-eye stuff would qualify as an acceptable flagship game after the public had seen Mario 64. Nobody cared about Bug!, and this would've had a similar fate. If anything they did everyone a service by cancelling this game. It would've made Sonic look like shit, it would make the Saturn look like shit. Yes, it sucks that people genuinely tried hard to make it work, but that's just how it is.
No, the idea and potential of something is always greater in your mind than any actualized result.People are obsessed with hypotheticals. It means they don't have to live in reality. It's a child's way of thinking.
>>12567575They actually got their shit together and began making an actual game with a vision that ran on a real Saturn eventually but it was too late, the main devs would have died if they had continued working so hard.Sales wise it probably would have just gone from Wii U to Gamecube, Christmas 1996 was already halfway through the generation
>>12567558>3D Fish perspective tech demo>Saving anything
>>12567558nope because both the n64 and the psx had great platforms, so a single good sonic game wouldnt have made the difference.
>>12567805You underestimate how popular Sonic was in the 90's
>>12567568That's stupid. You want to actually save the Saturn? We need a time machine and screw up the release of the PlayStation
>>12567558I thought sonic went 3D in 3D blast?
>>12567558>>12567586It looked like fucking shit, the fish-eye lens was a terrible concept to go with.
>>12567558Unironically yes
>>12567783Well, halfway through the Saturn’s life. The Nintendo 64 had just arrived.
>>12567558The Saturn was doomed right from the design phase, SEGA built it to be a 2D powerhouse that could sort of do 2.5D putting it up against the upcoming N64 and Playstation leaving SEGA an entire generation behind on proper 3D architecture.To make the Saturn a seller you would need the Playstation to just straight up not exist and for the Saturn to at least be able to do real 3D like the N64, at that point it isnt theorycrafting you're just writing pure fiction.
