Sega Is Teasing A New Game, Reveal Happening Soon

Let me guess... yet another Genesis mini or Genesis collection, because we need yet another way to play Genesis games.

Can't wait to see how underwhelming it is.

No telling what it could be, just announce a worldwide launch for the Sega Genesis Mini 2 already Sega.

Etrian Odyssey VI

Sega owns Atlus just announce it properly already.

It sounds like monkeys to me. Maybe I new Super Monkey Ball; that would be nice.

come onnnnn Crazy Uber.

It’s Sega so unless it’s Yakuza it’s gonna be more tonedeaf nonsense, likely a teaser ending with an announcement of an announcement.

That is clearly the sound that is made when one is shining a force. But I may just be hearing what I want to hear.

@g_ruz hug me like dude ... don't give me hope we got live a live could you imagine ?

The sounds kinda creepy.

@Pak-Man I hear it too. REJOICE.

@g_ruz Think we need some sort of sacrifice to Segata Sanshiro in order to get Segagaga.

Skies of arcadia remastered for 3ds or gtfo

Dance Dance Revolution SEGA Mix

Cooking Sonic

The Sonics (The Sims)

But what is that tiger sound at the end?

"Special Sega Game" sounds like that big multi-property project they mentioned as a long term strategy a while ago...

edit: I found it, they called it a "Super Game" https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2022/05/sega-plans-to-leverage-more-past-ip-with-remasters-remakes-reboots

So exciting! I can’t wait to experience disappointment and mediocrity in a whole new way!!!! Mediocrity is about to be revolutionized!

Better be more interesting than their mobile RPG from last year.

E-Ecco the Dolphin 2? Egad

sega sure is special.. especially when they destroy what's left of their crummy ip's. does sega even realize this?

AAA 3D Echo the Dolphin, let’s go!

Time to bring back Chindouchuu!! Pole no Daibouken.

Anyone remember that? No? Well, I'm not surprised

I've learned to expect pretty much everything from Sega (especially if it's tied to Sonic in some way) except anything I'm personally interested in. I cringe at teases like this because I know with near absolute certainly they won't be about any of their long-dormant RPG franchises (Shining Force, Skies of Arcadia, Dragon Force, etc.) or any compilation that isn't Genesis, but rather some random IP they've likely as not outsourced to a third party with middling results. The only IP that's remotely captured the essence and sheer, passion-fueled quality Sega used to be known for two decades ago has been Valkyria Chronicles, and I don't expect it to make the rounds again anytime soon, either.

So no, I don't expect much at all. It would be nice to be pleasantly surprised after all these years, though.

Maniacal laughter...that can only mean one thing...

...keep an eye on every traffic cone, pot hole, scaffold staircase, construction site, person wearing a mask, zombie, dance flash mob, cab driver, and just everything in general if you hear the words "Kiryu Chan".

Ecco the Dolphin?

Reala (From NiGHTS), is that you???

Crazy Taxi. Calling it.

I don't know what that sound is, but it's definitely not Chris Pratt cackling for being in everything these days. Bonus points for that I guess.

Power Stone 3

Well there’s only 2 things that Sega cares about these days so I’m predicting that they mash them up into a single game:

Sonic the NFThog

I hope it´s Jet set radio

Dreamcast and Saturn collection please Sega. Also, bring back AGES line you muppets. I am still waiting for Sega Rally and Daytona

@Maulbert lately i've purchased so many games that all jinx me to stay in the first level or curse me if i open the gates to the next level. so much untapped software, which is awesome marketing for games that I haven't bought yet - the only way to experience something new without getting cursed.

This is definitely cosmic smash keep em coming Sega

F-Zero, please 🥺

Very excited to finally see Sonic Adventure 3...right?

Persona 5: Cloud Edition for the Switch.

Shenmue........Resurrected at last?!

🤞sega rally championship!

PLEASE tell me it's a new re-master of Sonic 2!!!!!!!

Someone on Twitter speculated Samba De Amigo which is a good call. It sounds more like monkeys and rainforest sounds than a dolphin to me.

Well, an announcement is an announcement, or in this case an announcement for an announcement, so I’m interested to see what this announcement announces!

Maybe it's Sonic Frontiers 2 !

It's the new Ecco the Dolphin that's been rumoured.

The tenuous connections my mind can draw have revealed to me that Capcom are working on a Code: Veronica remake, and Sega are publishing it. Note the close-up eye, reminiscent of the close-up of Claire Redfield's eye in the opening shots of the game. Dolphin sounds are of course a reference to the codename for Gamecube, which is the last platform to get a standalone physical release of the original game. Damn, I'm good

Either Nights or that 2D Sonic Game that was being rumored, anything else and we riot /j

Edit: I'm gonna lose it

I heard rumours of a potential Dreamcast collection. Think of Rare Replay, but with Dreamcast titles.

@RareFan That would be fantastic! It shouldn't be so difficult to be able to play older games in 2022 (Nintendo are probably more guilty of this than any other company)

Still have my OG Dreamcast but have a modest collection of Jet Set Radio, Shenmue, Shenmue II, Crazy Taxi and Chu Chu Rocket...

@AtlanteanMan “ The only IP that's remotely captured the essence and sheer, passion-fueled quality Sega used to be known for two decades ago has been Valkyria Chronicles”
Tell me you’ve never played Streets Of Rage 4 without telling me you’ve never played Streets Of Rage 4.

If it doesn't rhyme with Sguys of Shmarcadia I probably don't care. I'd settle for a Dreamcast collection with SoA on it.

@LafayetteBlues I own it and have played it. It's a nice new iteration of the Genesis games. It's also developed not by Sega but by DotEmu and Lizardcube.

@Pikachupwnage
Coming to even console, bar the Switch.

Okay, it's PROBABLY not it, but listening closely to the sound sample there's a remote possibility it's isolated from the Horteka village scene in SKIES OF ARCADIA. Some of the background wildlife noises are at least somewhat similar once you filter out the (BEAUTIFUL; my personal favorite track ever in an RPG) music.

Again, unlikely (this is Sega, after all; they've avoided their legacy RPGs like the plague for 20 years-plus), but I guess we'll see. I'm bracing myself for disappointment; that way if I'm disappointed it will be in a good way, right?

At any rate, the most likely candidate would seem to be Ecco the Dolphin, but even though the original was fairly popular and well-reviewed, I don't personally consider it as a candidate to "steal the show". Skies of Arcadia, on the other hand...MEGATON.

Yes I won't hold out any hope, would personally love to see a new Outrun. But very doubtful, it's mad when you think of the rich back catalogue Sega has. From Outrun to Daytona USA, etc.....

It is gonna be Mushiking: The Return of the Bees!

Persona 6 maybe?

It's a Space Channel 5 sequel

@Z-Core
Definitely no 2D Sonic being announced before Sonic Origins is even out.

Phantasy Star V... Let's GO!!

Virtua Fighter 6 would be incredible

New Seaman? (fingers crossed)

@Pikachupwnage
YEAAA now we’re talking!

❗️Shinobi 3 or Golden Axe 1/2/3 remakes.

A new phantasy star, please!!

Dragon Force (...please???). I'll also settle for Space Channel 5

It's gotta be Ecco the Dolphin, right?

Don't think the internet can handle another special Sega game.

It’s going to be so underhype

I would love a new toejam and earl tho or maybe Sonic and sega all stars racing?

Ah, so that sound was a Hyena. You_Raised_My-Hopes_and_Dashed_them_Quite_Expertly.gif

And here I thought I was being pessimistic with a prediction of a cloud-based Persona 5….sheesh.

Sega could have made a Megatron splash with any of at least a dozen of their IP that have been dormant for upwards of two decades now (particularly their incredible RPGs), but instead they chose to go with the latest derivative of the Fortnite trend. One of the industry's biggest disconnects with gamers is their penchant for gravitating toward the "latest and greatest" (i.e most profitable/safe) instead of a focus on what makes us PASSIONATE about the hobby. Variety, creativity, originality, and yes, risk-taking have largely devolved into endless deluges of FPSes, zombie apocalypses, battle royales, and dark/horror-themed titles marked by excessive violence and gore. Even the Indies typically compare their games to something else. And it's happened because the majority of the industry is composed of SHEEP who seem unable to realize that no matter where the grass seems greenest, when everyone gathers in that same spot it isn't long before there's no longer enough to support them all. And the hobby is suffering because of such thinking; one need only look at Sony and Microsoft's showcases this year to see the sheer lack of variety in overall theme and genre.

Whatever it is it’s not gonna be what we want!

This would be amazing if it was Skies of Arcadia, if it is anything else, I'm afraid I just dont care.

Soooooo….. something about Hyenas? Womp womp… Shinobi remakes or some new 2D entry in the style of Genesis or whatever would’ve been amazing. Oh well… :/

Seaman 2 would be lovely.

It was nothing just another dead on arrival multiplayer shooter.

@Gerald no they are not gonna bring what people want, they only bring what they want which is easy cash grab. I gave up on sega pretty long time ago.

"Special Sega game." Nothing special about anything you showed about Hyenas, Sega. Just another derivative, cartoony shooter. Wow, has your company ever completely lost its way. "Special". Just wow. You guys really have no clue what a joke and bitter disappointment you've become to your fans, do you, let alone WHY.

Here it is as straight as I can give it to you: you DON'T LISTEN TO YOUR FANS. You never really have, even when you've sent out those little surveys or talk about bringing back non-Sonic IPs (which, if they even happen, most of the time you just outsource to third-parties to mediocre results). Just look at how many comments here and so many elsewhere for YEARS NOW say things like "I expect to be disappointed". That loss of rapport and trust with your consumers didn't happen overnight; it was WELL EARNED over the past two decades.

Somebody get 1992 on the phone NOW, and get us the Sega back that took risks and was arguably the most prolific and influential company in the entire hobby! Oh, and get rid of those bigwigs at the top who ruined it all and are still running the brand into the ground to this day.

Rant over.

Wow a lazy clone of Fortnite/Apex/Overwatch whichever you think is closest. Thanks Sega.

@tka060681 I know you’re right, it’s a sad state of affairs for sure

Haaaaaaahahahahaaaa!!! It’s nothing.

What we want: Jet Set Radio, Ecco....

What we get: ANOTHER bland dead on arrival Overwatch game that is a guaranteed failure like Lawbreakers/Battleborne/Bleeding Age/Destruction All Stars

Remember any of those? Lmao of course not.
Another garbage game with hideous characters designed to appeal to nobody with one token character of every race to try to appeal to as broad an audience (that won't)

@Gerald now they will keep making sonic movies after huge success, re- releasing old sonic games for cash grab and making some low budget new game like sonic frontier.

Have they finally answered the call of every Sega fan ever and remade Transbot?

Well we can't say they aren't making new IP, who knows maybe it'll be good right? Still it's not coming to Switch anyways so we had nothing to lose.

@AtlanteanMan Before the announcement there was news that Creative Assembly had been working on a new game for 4 years, so it was pretty safe to say that that was what was going to be announced.

So what exactly were you hoping for? The devs under SEGA of Europe make their own titles, they don't work on any of SEGAs existing IPs. Did you think the studio behind Total War and Alien: Isolation were going to make a new Skies of Arcadia or Jet Set Radio game.

Hyenas just looks so gross... Is this what Sega thinks mainstream gaming wants?
