Sega's Big 'Surprising' Title Twist in the Works

Mon Mar 05, 2007 7:43 pm

I've been seeing some hints that it is going to be Shenmue, maybe its a coincidence but there is one in Virtua Fighter 5 when you are playing in Quest mode, when you are fighting 9th Dan ranking Pai in Club Sega Bay Area, the fighter goes by the name "Shen Fa" (sounds like Shenhua) and her tagline reads "The Tree will Blossom Again". Most Shenmue fans would get what that mean...you know...the tree...from the ending...of the second game *nudge nudge*.

I am trying not to get way too hype up about it, because I might end up disappointed if they don't announce it then it's another year of disappointment, I can't give up Shenmue.

Let's be clear on something. Sega SHOULD make a version of NiGHTS that takes all of the enhancements of Christmas NiGHTS, and all of the levels from original NiGHTS. And stop right there. Give us what they should have given us 10 years ago. Saturn-level sound and graphics wouldn't bother me at all if I could just have the FULL NiGHTS. It could be a hidden/unlockable inside of a modernized NiGHTS. Hell, I'd want it even if it were an unlockable in a My Little Pony game. Either way, I would buy the console and the game the moment it came out - US or Import. The key here is not messing with the gameplay, sounds, or style of the graphics. Just a little polish, maybe some extra content. If they can't do it right, I'd prefer they didn't damage the franchise with some blah game.

A new NiGHTS controller would be nice too.

Q entertainment is speaking about a big sequel that could be done with SEGA. Maybe it could be the game we are talking about ?

A new high-def Rez and Space Channel 5 would OWN.
As long as its not on the PS3

I agree with Perseid. Yuji Naka thought it would be pointless to make another NiGHTS game, and I don't see how we could argue with The Man.

It's the same thing for Rez and Power Stone, just slightly different. I wouldn't want to play sequels to any of these games because the gameplay of the originals were great. It would cost ALOT more money to play the new iterations which are mainly graphical updates.

Ooh, a Space Channel 5 part 3 would make me all squishy inside. Though given Sega of America's relationship with that franchise, we'd have to sacrifice goats to get a US version even if they did make it in Japan.

Power Stone is putre Capcom -- not Sega

NiGHTS is the only answer
