SEGA only had a handful of successful franchises over the years and they didn't manage them very well. I'd focus on the few series that have some mainstream potential:

Internal Studios:

CS1 R&D - Streets of Rage 4
CS2 R&D - Sonic Colors 2 (co-developed with Dimps)
CS3 R&D - Valkyria Chronicles IV
Sports R&D - Crazy Taxi 1 & 2 ports
AM R&D - Virtua Tennis 5
The Creative Assembly - Empire II: Total War
Sports Interactive - Football Manager 2016
Three Rings Design - Phantasy Star Gaiden remake
Hardlight Studio - Golden Axe IV
Relic Entertainment - Warhammer 40k - Dawn of War III
Atlus - Persona R
Demiurge Studios - Valkyria Chronicles II & III ports

SEGA has a lot of affiliate studios that they are neglecting and Westone is in the process of liquidation. I'd step in and acquire Wonderboy and the team responsible for the series (if possible):

Affiliate Studios:

Westone Bit Entertainment - Wonderboy 7
Camelot Software Planning - Shining Force III demake
Dimps - Sonic Colors 2 (co-developed with CS2 R&D)

Creative assembly is working on warhammer:tw not  empire 2

If Sega has all of these studios then why aren't they releasing games?

Why i left PC gaming

 

(2015) Question for PS4 owners: if the situation would be reverse? would you still play on PS4?

Sonic is done and almost none of Sega's existing IPs are relevant anymore ...

I say they should push out a new IP ...

A new JRPG to succeed Phantasy Star is what I would want ...

Does CSP still have any kind of partnership with SEGA? I mean they have only made Nintendo games since late 90s (Mario sport games and Golden Sun).

Btw, I voted for Valkyria Chronicles.



I am a Nintendo fanatic.

The thing is, SEGA is releasing tons of games... that nobody cares about. Last year they put out:

Alien: Isolation
Company of Heroes 2 DLC
Crazy Taxi: City Rush
Football Manager 2015
Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F 2nd
Initial D Arcade Stage 8 Infinity
Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth
Project 575
Transformers: Human Alliance
World of End Eclipse
World of Three Kingdoms
Yakuza: Ishin

This list is excluding late localizations, ports and less noteworthy mobile games. A lot of these titles have zero marketability and should never have been developed over franchises such as the Streets of Rage, Phantasy Star, Sonic or Monkey Ball. Compounding the problem is how they often botch titles that could have had potential such as Crazy Taxi: City Rush.

@ generic-user-1

"Creative assembly is working on warhammer:tw not  empire 2"

Which I think is a huge mistake. After Company of Heroes 2's lackluster reception I'd refocus that studio on Warhammer and leave Creative Assembly to develop a new Empire Total War because of how popular the original was.

"Does CSP still have any kind of partnership with SEGA? I mean they have only made Nintendo games since late 90s (Mario sport games and Golden Sun)."

You're right, CPS and SEGA haven't been partners for many years sadly. It's not like Shining Force was ever popular so I guess that project should be ignored altogether.

SEGA didn't publish Persona Q though. I don't know what kind of contribution SEGA does to Atlus. They seem to work for themselves.

I assumed that SEGA was handling the publishing duties for Atlus's games after the acquisition but I appear to be wrong, my bad. Regardless, anything pertaining to Atlus is moot because I wouldn't really change anything about them, they seem to be doing fine. I was worried that SEGA's failure would rub off on Atlus but so far things appear to be okay *knocks on wood*

He's a gaming icon, wether we like it or not, he'll always be relevant.

Oh that explains why his games sell millions nowadays right?... oh wait.

The only thing I don't want to hear is a localized version of puyo puyo tetris. I just imported the game for PS4 and haven't played anything else since. Good thing I'd finished Arkham Knight, because I don't see any game replacing Puyo Puyo Tetris in my disc drive for a while.

 

Just give me Virtua Fighter 6, please.
