Every company does this now and then. Nobody is perfect.

excuses, excuses, excuses.

 

Well what companies do you support then since you dont play games from anyone who makes a bad game.

the problem wasn't the Wii or the casual market at the time, the problem is and has always been Sega. If otherwise were true then they would have released SOME good games in the last 10 years from their main studios.

The only people releasing good games for Sega are Creative Assembly and Atlus

And the Yakuza team and the guys who made Valkyria Chronicles.

Sega probably still has the most talented devs out there, they just dont have money to make big new risky titles.

Wait let's get one thing straight, Sega's software quality declined after the Dreamcast!
The Wii wasn't the only place where they put out low quality games, there are lots of AAA games during the 7th generation published by Sega that were mediocre.

This has been covered in previous posts. Sega has had plenty of great games since the Dreamcast. I see no decline in good titles, just an upswing in the volume of crap. I'm no Sega mark. I pick on them when the deserve it. But I have bought/enjoyed a fair amout of their stuff since the Dreamcast, and there have been a few I wanted that I didn't buy. Total coincidence, the 2 main games I'm playing right now are Sega titles: Yakuza 5 (ps3) and Virtua Tennis 4: World Tour (vita). Both are totally tits.

The Wii is not to blame for some of the things they made. They have been going downhill since they stopped making consoles. They made so many awesome games I loved as a kid but now they are making pretty much only sonic games. And most of them are not worth playing. Can they just make a streets of rage, vector man, a good golden axe, or some many other things they have?



They screwed the Wii market with mediocre games then? Thank goodness they supported high quality projects on the PS3 and 360 like Aliens Colonial marines

So this guy is basically admitting he knowingly sold garbage to us? How is this a good thing?

Because admitting you have a problem is the first step to fixing it?

There's a difference in saying that you screwed up and saying you knew you were screwing up and did it anyway because... money.  



didnt we know this already? Once the system was revealed most of us knew it was going to go down like this

Panzer Dragoon Saga, Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Super Monkey Ball, Yakuza, Total War, Valkyria Chronicles, among plenty others...

Not a sign of creative decline. Also, he's generalising. That doesn't mean he's saying everything they released on the Wii was garbage.

Seriously, your comments at times... -____-

Yeah Sega didn't decline until the Dreamcast died. They had solid studios up until then.

A lot of the Sega teams below were still intact after the Dreamcast was discontinued in 2001.

  • Amusement Vision
  • Hitmaker
  • Overworks
  • Sega AM2
  • Sega Rosso
  • Smilebit
  • Sonic Team
  • United Game Artists
  • WOW Entertainment
Most teams were later dismantled in 2004, but in that time between 2001-2004 they ported a lot of Dreamcast games to the PS2, Gamecube and Xbox while also creating some newer titles along with sequels.  They also had a larger outlet on the Arcade platform back then with lots of ports and original titles going there too.

The fact that Secret Rings sold 2 million is mind-boggling to me, that game is absolute shit.

I bought it. Mario and Sonic at the Olympics too.

Sega was screwed by the vagabond Randy Pitchford and his team of flim-flam artists on that game. That's quite the viewpoint though. Doesn't seem like cherry picking at all.
