SEGA On Involvement With Future Nothern California Events: “Wait And See”
The SEGA restructure, despite things being a little clearer now compared to the first reports that broke out, has been covered in a veil of uncertainty. Most of that uncertainty applies to the outcome of this move. What exactly what will come out of it? At a panel held over at AOD, San Francisco’s Anime, Video Game, and Cartoon convention, a tweet seen below explains that SEGA was asked a rather important question. Their answer suggests that SEGA isn’t ready to tell yet:
In other words: stay tuned.

BREAKING NEWS: Sega might do some stuff! Film at 11
I wonder how much of a direct affect the failure of the Sonic Boom games had on this restructuring?
I think it was more like a confirmation for SEGA to move along with this restructuring instead of “THE REASON.” It was more like a compilation of things that didn’t go how SEGA had planned that caused this. Sonic Boom just happened to be the last one…
The last straw on the camel’s back but not the only one. It was a pile up of financial losses from all of their products. SEGA is made up of much more than just Sonic.
Yeah.
Pretty much. It’s been said that Sega America would be more focused on digital content since 2010. They’re just pushing for it even harder now.
I would personally like a Sonic MMO like Disney Infinity with sandboxing, custom levels, custom characters and all the characters from the series. I really believe that would do much better than a 25th anniversary that tries to win its place by plot and level design.
Sooo… Skylanders and Disney Infinity meets Dragon Ball Xenoverse, basically?
@Tomoki: Couldn’t have said it better myself. 🙂
The reason I am hoping for such a thing is the heightened focus on ONLINE PC gaming. That’s one key thing the media keeps brushing over in citing SEGA’s press release regarding their new goals–the online part of it. SEGA’s official press release said their new focus is ONLINE PC gaming and mobile gaming.
Also Sonic Boom happened to be the worst, development cost and sales wise, still I think this restructuring may not be all bad news, guess we will have to wait and see but something tells me things can only go north from here…
If Runners turns out to be this year’s main series title, that’s when you know shit’s gotten bad.
I’ll start saving up for the undertaker and plant a patch of funeral roses in the backyard garden if SEGA is that much on life support.
@Tomoki
Or it could mean they are going to take their time to develop the next Sonic title, we don’t need a main Sonic title each year, I believe Sega should give the teams time to develop an epic game.
it’s time to say bye to Sonic, someone start working on a parody of the sayonara shadow scene from SA2.
Sonic Runners Teaser:
No gameplay footage though. Also, it’s gonna be a 2D endless runner with first Zone being Windy Hill. Also a Dark Gaia Spawn from Unleashed was spotted, so it’s possible Chip might make a cameo. Looks like one of the 4chan leakers was right.
Brace yourselves for the Sonic Movie game for 2016.
Sounds pretty good! Sonic is a 2D runner by his roots, so this is a great idea. Meanwhile, the way Sega is hanging on for dear life, I can wait for another year so long as the main series title is decent for once. I’ve had my fill of Lost World’s and Boom’s for my lifetime.
You and me both, man. You and me both.
Source that Sega is in poor financial shape? Source please?
Sega’s not in financial ruin. They’re just a shitty company that’s not worth following anymore.
No, he’s not. And you are a fool for believing him. He also claimed that an official trailer would be released on January 12th & and that the game would be out in April.
Nope, that was a different guy. And you are a fool for not realizing that there mulitple “sources” claiming to be the original. I’m not talking about the guy who said the trailer would be January 12th.
Also please leave the internet. No one likes you.
