In the 90s, Sega was as a rock’n’roll breath of fresh air in a Nintendo-dominated world – and America and Europe CEO Shuji Utsumi wants to shake things up once again
They’re not a retro company. They’re just stuck in the past, and unable to head into the future. The consistency and the quality of their products say everything anyone needs to know
Perhaps it’s just me, but they’ve been releasing a good number of actually good things, though?
Persona, Yakuza, PSO, and even the fact the Sonic movies were… good? Or at least entertaining enough, which is a victory for a video game movie series, heh.
Persona and Metaphor deserve all the success they’ve gotten, but after putting several hundred hours into the RGG games, they could have at least given Majima a new shirt, you know?
Let’s not jump to accusations now. People can be critical of something, without it being inherently negative. If anything, I want them to do better, because I know they can do better
while i think “old bad new good” is an overly simplistic way to look at things, i do appreciate this fire in SEGA’s eyes again. i hope they can find a way forward to expand their horizons creatively without alienating their existing players

“Sega started as a rock’n’roll breath of fresh air in a Nintendo-dominated world…”

I’m disappointed in that writer.
Better phrasing: Sega started as a rock’n’roll breath of fresh air that did what Nintendon’t.
I just want OutRun 3
Anyway, here’s Green Hill Zone

Not disagreeing, but I hate my limits too.

I agree, the comment before you was just trying to be mean and funny
