What he said. And it is sad.

Not to mention there is no way they could financially support a console anymore and if they tried the company would most likely go bankrupt and while it's always sad to see a long time player crash and burn, I would love to see who would buy the rights to all the franchises.

Sorry I didn't provide a link.

I saw it on GAF. Some guy was posting patents that had been filed and somehow made a connection between two patents that COULD show the DC 2 is in the works.

He explained it in a way that ALMOST made sense. Just wishful thinking really.

Sue me, I'm the biggest Dreamcast fanboy out there. I WAS a Sega fanboy, until their games became shit.

Sega seem to have gotten very lazy with the last 3 or 4 sonic games, what the hell is that sonic on the ps3 and 360, its unfinished.
The camera keeps getting stuck behind rocks, the controls are jiddery, sometimes i miss checkpoints by a few seconds but it doesent kill me.
Also dont like the fact you have to randomly not be sonic, one point of the game tails came and said i'll take it from here.............

WTF no reason for at all, the i just flew round lost with tails for 15 minutes and got fed up of the game.

Well thankfully Sega vowed a while back to clean up Sonic. Hopefully we won't hear from him again until he has a respectable game to show us.

They've vowed a lot of things, ltzasz.

I'm sure that it was not their intention to ruin Mario & Sonic or the new Nights, but...

They vowed that before they created this latest game, Its shamefull Sega seem to let games get through testing unfinished with many glithes and bugs and unplayable in parts.
Do they care ?

On the plus Sega Rally and Virtua Tennis 3 have turned out Excellent on both ps3 and 360

NiGHTS can still turn out ok. It's coming out in 2 weeks then we'll have final judgement. I'm not sure what to think of it anymore. First I thought Sega would ruin it, and they proved that with early stuff. Then it started to look decent. But I still feel like they didn't polish it at all. We shall see shortly.

The latest screens look promising.

But then I heard it's coming out on PS2. Which is annoying. If they reelwase it one PS2, why not beef it up on the 360 and PS3 like it was originally inteded?

The PS2 version isn't the same, it's a direct port of the original.
