Looks more like Golden Axe than Beast Rider ever did, so that makes me happy. Even if it isn't 2D. I'm just hoping for the best.
That being said, I remember when the Castle Crashers craze was going on, I was hoping we'd see more 2D beat 'em ups, and was shocked we didn't. That would've been the best time to bring Golden Axe back IMO, and they just never did. It's shocking to me. It's still not too late, but I don't know if we'll ever see that.
Golden Axe is the number one Franchise I wanted them to come back with its just if they where gonna go 3d i wished they would have stuck more with the original art style. This looks overly stylized.

You and I both, haha. I've wanted a 2D return for Golden Axe and Splatterhouse (I know not a Sega title, but just the only thing that I've wanted just as bad, lol) for decades. Both I think will never happen. But man, I'd love it if they did.
But honestly I'd just want new good and decent games, and I'd be happy with it. But I'd love for them to be great. Even if they remotely look like the originals in any way.
AREYOUOKAY?

yep. Id also kill for a Golden Axe in 3D if it where up to Return of the King (2003) quality.

New era. Same Sega.
I could still count my pubes on one hand the last time I purchased a Sega game day one.

Thats a Monkey Paw if I ever saw one. Even if it where more polished they keep making these 3D reimaginings so goddamm cheap. That looks like a blocky Ps2 game.

I remember that there was an alarmist documentary from the US, where a boy played Shinobi and the parents were in panic because of the hours they dedicated to the game xD.

With this action by SEGA towards video gamers, I am empathetic with the company and with this decision... I will commit to buying, at a day one price, those games it has announced.

Wow! Impressed. I'll be really interested in some of these. I've needed a new Crazy Taxi for too long.

Yes it was. They build a bunch of hype over this and barely delivered. Sega really needs to listen to their fanbase. That's where there's money and sounds more like they're still beating to their own drum.

It's a little bit of an odd time to launch a new SoR because 4 was so recent and so good.
JSR and Crazy Taxi look like the headliners here, although Golden Axe also seems to have some production value.
Shinobi looks possibly pretty cool though even for a smaller scale project.

I really like the 3D one they went with and like the style of it. I loved the 2D beat Em ups in the past, but I find them awkward now with the perspective. If Sifu is considered a 3D Beat Em Up, I would love more of that.

Holy.. thats a whole load of games. Its been a long time since I've been somewhat excited for a Sega game but a new JSR and Goldenaxe. Damn. Heck, go full hog and give us a new Gunstar Heroes.
Hopefully they deliver on these and don't dissapoint. If they want a resurgeance, the quality needs to be up there.

These are all looking pretty good so far. Not expecting anything mind-blowing; just some good ol' Sega-esque fun. I like Beast Rider and Spike Out, so I'm okay with 3D Streets of Rage and Golden Axe. I hope they stay true to Tyris's classic bikini armor despite current 2023 modern audiences... she seems to have some sort of cape on in the preview? Or maybe it's a new/ different female lead? Anywho... looking forward to seeing more updates!
I wouldn't go that far, but it's clear they were made with the Switch in mind.

This is what I don't get. SOR already has a new era and a new energy, and it is a very good one. Right now it they're acting as if the previous 3D prototypes weren't abandoned for good reason.
If they are aiming for the Switch market and they think 3D will have broader appeal, I think they're in for a wake up call when it performs worse than 4 because they moved away from what the fans of the series like.

I have a feeling that they will release all those games in sort of metaverse / hub like Fortnite did with Lego & Rocket Racing and they won't be fully fledged games - in the end rumors suggested a "Super Game".
I would rather want a standalone collection of Yakuza emulated cabinets than this abomination. But yeah, sign of the times, no IP can RIP.

Let's be honest, what does SEGA expect by publishing these indies? Why do Capcom games attract attention? Square? Rockstar? higher budget games man, low budget games don't stand out, they don't impress, they don't seduce anyone. These franchises deserved more attention, after all we cannot be hypocrites Crazy Taxi was the first game to portray a believable city at 480p60fps. Jet Set Radio was a pioneer in cel shading technology. This new game isn't even cel shading, but if it is, it's of low quality and doesn't have a visual signature like JSRF had. Shinobi 3 and Shinobi X were 2D AAA games. 2002 Shinobi was a simple game with Dreamcast DNA however NightShade was an authentic Playstation 2 game in geometry, lighting effects and transparency.
Streets of Rage, again an impeccable Sega Genesis game.
Golden Axe is an example of a franchise that did not have a good 3D transition.
Beast Rider was bad due to poor use of the low budget, but it's still the best example of 3D conversion in the franchise , a few adjustments and this game works . However, Golden Axe was shown will be disappointing.
Why was Shenmue 3 bad? low budget, there is no magic, imagine if GTA 6 had the budget of GTA 4 would anyone be talking about GTA 6?

I'm not worries about the 3D games. If it was like Zombie Revenge quality I'm game.
I want a new Space Harrier with different power ups, a Panzer Dragoon style special attack gauge and a melee button to repel projectiles back at enemies.

Wow, sega actually making use of their classic ip's that's not Sonic.
Would have preferred 2D Streets of Rage and Golden Axe but I'll remain cautiously optimistic.

Worth mentioning that Sega had nothing to do with SoR4. Like they didn't even produce it or job it out. Sega was just letting anyone who showed up license the properties they weren't using for a while. And a couple of those turned out to be hits and they're probably feeling like they missed out.

According to Bloomberg sources, Sega is considering a "Fortnite-style" service model for both titles, offering the two high-speed arcade titles as free-to-play games and filling them with crossover content, microtransactions, an emphasis on multiplayer, temporary events and, presumably, the possible inclusion of blockchain/NFT elements.

As long as Shinobi, Golden Axe and Altered Beast are spared of that fate ... I'm good.

Of course they are going to do this. And it is going to be shit.
We simply have to wait for the GaaS to fail, and for SEGA to try to get some money back with the engines by making proper offline games in a second time.

They won't listen to you here. go now to the Bloomberg website, contact them and tell them that we, Sega fans, will boycott the company's products, so that they immediately give up on this crazy idea that could harm the franchises.
so, Bloomberg journalist can write about how WE WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS
all dissatisfied friends do the same now.

GTV Japan made a good case for why PS5 shouldn't be done in a recent PS4 retrospective.
TLDR: It's been 30 years and it's a finished story arc. Unlike Final Fantasy where a sequel is just +1 and similar elements.

I know. Doesn't have to be called "Phantasy Star V", they can give it a subtitle, not a number. I just want a new, proper Phantasy Star. PSO is not the same...
