Comment on Sega Quality: Valkyria Chronicles Reduced to Browser Game by Anonymous:

Capcom actually keep their IPs visible. They may not have made a new Darkstalkers game, but they still use the characters in crossover titles, same with Okami and others. Sega don’t even do that.

Sega tend to just leave their IPs to die. A new Streets of Rage (which has the potential to have a Street Fighter IV-like revival) game should be a no-brainer but not to Sega.

Sega’s internal devs have been shafted since Sammy took over. Remember how prolific AM2, Overworks, Smilebit, UGA used to be?

Sega increasingly hires Western devs and just publishes. Most of their talent (Suzuki, Naka, Mizaguchi, Arai, Oba, etc) have left with only Nagoshi, Kodama, and Kumagi remaining. Kodama’s 7th Dragon never got a US release.
VC, Virtua Tennis and VF5 are pretty much the only true Sega games in recent years.

Sega could have ported Shenmue multi-platform and clawed back some money and kept the franchise alive (and thus potentially profitable) but instead just buried it and forgot about it.
We are seeing the same with VC, Sega are not making any effort.

I feel sorry for Sega’s internal devs, they are, like Suzuki-san before them, having their talent squandered by Sega’s (or rather, Sammy’s)dumb management.

  in my honest opinion, if they didn’t screw up the VC anime, it would have caught more attention. They should have released a VC3 anime, since I like that story better than VC

  it’s only dead b/c westerners don’t like fucking handhelds and want to stay in their rooms more than japanese hikikomori’s and network all day.

  VC from SEGA was my 1st game for the PS3 and yet i loved it, sadly to those who didn’t and still don’t have a psp for VC2 they should of really done it for PS3 and since VC3 is also out in JPN I’m really hoping that SEGA would re-release it on the PS3 HD and if somehow they did i would get it the moment the date has been set

  Alot of this is down to Sega being more focused on publishing these days. Their internal development is now almost non-existent. Sega used to be famous for their in-house dev studios. Sega used to be innovators, now they just follow. Look at alot of their games in recent years; painfully generic stuff which could have been made by any publisher. Yu Suzuki pretty much built the Sega brand, his departure last year made the death of the Sega we knew and loved official.

  Stop eating shit and sucking dick and make pc games already.

  Well, she doesn’t have nipples, so nothing to censor… the buttshot doesn’t show her butthole or vagina, so nothing to censor… And simply because it portrays a loli/child (don’t know what Meruru is), it shouldn’t be censored… IMO

  “that’s why kyousuke and kirino didn’t stay together” But they stayed togather and continued their relationship in secret.

  “the last “GOOD GAMES” are made by Squaresoft” The Enix side was doing just fine, mind you. It was the shitty Square side that killed itself with the movie that needed to be rescued. Dragon Quest alone was all Enix needed.
