And Sony did more for gaming than Microsoft , Sega is the missing link they created the First 3D fighting game in Virtua Fighter and Sega was the first to introduce the Activator before Kinect and was the first to Life simulator , social simulator in Shenmue etc Oh if Sega was still around they would make so many things right now , they still have great ideas hoping Sega one day comes back probably 20 years from now , even though few Sega fans don't want them to make a hardware comeback ever. I said Few looks at a certain fan in Sega discord. |
Hardware doesn't define a great gaming company software does. one thing we need to remember though is times change, an example would be I grew up with the C64 and Amiga and a lot of my my favourite games are from that 8 /16 bit era but I also realise that time and progress has meant that games and gamers expectations have changed and not only do those games reflect there time, our excitement and expectations are also products of the times that we experienced them.
What I'm getting at is looking at the past is good but the games and types that resonated yesterday may not resonate today, the world moves on and peoples expectations for good or ill change and major players like Sega Nintendo and Sony and MS aren't made up of automatons so they also change, and even the great names we have had in game development over the years don't possess that lightning in the bottle indefinitely and that hit and miss part along with the world no longer being the 1990's and Sega having had just one successful console from a hardware sales perspective and the end of arcades this list is why trying to returning Sega back 30 years isn't going to happen.
