That's dumbass, Yuji Naka might be a useless turd, but his name is worth money. If I were Sammy/Sega, I would sell off the entire Sonic Team studio ala Rare. I'm sure some other publisher would be interested. Let them take the burden. By simply firing him, you'll destroy the morale at Sonic Team and completely waste a otherwise potentially profitable entity.

reports of their demise are greatly exaggerated. this has been an off year for them, but i've still really enjoyed nightshade, sonic heroes (which is manifestly the best 3d sonic game, for whatever that's worth), blood will tell, and outrun 2. perhaps there's nothing there to set fanboy hearts ablaze, but it's a pretty solid set of games. imo. of course their best recent move was to delegate gba astro boy to treasure.
i can't think of any sega games i'm looking forward to, though. maybe spikeout, though i get the sense that it's aged badly. particularly relative to games like ninja gaiden and zoe 2, which have taken basic beat-em-up elements and transfigured them. feel the magic should be good, but i'm not buying a ds.

Greatest game ever made.
It's like SEGA Rally/Daytona USA combined with an acrobatic flying platformer with tight controls typical over-the-top saturated SEGA graphics and the most amazing dynamically playing music you've ever heard. It is hard to get good at it, but it's only then that you can really start appreciating the game design for what it is. The key to playing the game is speed, speed, speed. It's essentially a really tightly designed racer.. You have to know the turns before they come and what the best angles are, how to handle each enemy in a split second, when to paraloop and when not too and how large a paraloop to use (VERY tricky).. so you basically have to learn each level intimately.. every detail. Each level, of the two separate storylines, features increasing levels of complexity. Each level is uniquely designed and combined with the boss stages make up an amazingly diverse world.
IMO, It is the most rewarding game experience out there.

Not from Sega but it's from the creator of REZ.
Meteos? BAhaha! That looks like a piece of crap! Mizuguchi stinks. Take a look at I Would Die for You (Project Rub) for a truely sexy game by the team who made Rez (DS too). Just shows you how much of Rez was Mizuguchi and how much was his team.

Being owned by Sammy pretty much makes this an impossibility for many years. I don't see what all the drama is about. This is the year that Sega had their massive re-org mandated by Sammy where all of their devs would be consolidated. I'm sure it's caused a little bit of a mess within Sega and is bound to affect a project or two. I'm sure they're still cranking away at games and will have some new announcements between now and the next E3. I'm not concerned.Argyle said:Bankruptcy.

I don't know anything about KyotoMecca OR Kikizo.
I'm just in a fun and teasing mood today.
I'd actually love it if Sega just goes on a blitz and announces a shitload of awesome games, like I expected them to announce at E3. I don't think I'm stretching anything when I say that I've been bitterly disappointed by their performance this past year. I hope that all of the managerial upheaval is done, and they can just get back (in some form or another) to making the great games that they used to make.
Shining Force GBA Remake and Skies of Arcadia Legends were probably the last Sega games released by then in recent years that I truly loved.
I'm looking forward to Shining Tears, but I'm worried about PSU, PS Trilogy, and the PS2 Shining Force (which looks nothing like a Shining Force.) Seriously, here's hoping.

VF5 on Naomi III hardware is Sega's next big game, which should be the first showing of a real next generation game. Then you have a couple of regular releases like Spikeout Online. I believe Sega is going to be a quiet until the next gen systems reveal themselves. Which is why I believe Kiziko, there's so much we don't know about, and a lot of it Sega can't show until the hardware manufacterers are ready, something Sega doesn't control anymore.
Don't be so quick write off Sega. They were always a bit behind the 8 ball in terms of graphics on the current systems, which is why they frequently don't set fanboy flames afire. VF5 should be the game that will make fanboys respect Sega again. Rumors on what system the game will go on will fuel the fanboy wars.

well kyoto has been hinting a nights sequel. personally im looking forward to the next shining force, kinda...it looks different than i expected.
shining tears doesnt look too hot.
and they havent announced much else.
recent games have sorta sucked (astro boy ps2 and blood will tell), still waiting to buy outrun 2 though...which should be fantastic for me.

Regarding Naka, the guy's temperament and personality is well known. He's not the greatest guy to be work with. He's a perfectionist, and if things don't go his way, he gets pissed. Though the question has to be asked: if he's such a perfectionist, why are so many recent Sonic Team games crap?
Well the fact that his "baby" NiGHTS bombed so badly really really seemed to have killed a bit of his love for his job, or so I've heard. Also, the fact that he's constantly being compared to (unfairly, of course) to Miyamoto probably does not help things, such as getting a day's work done. I read somewhere that he was much happier when he was just some nobody programmer.
