Comeback trailI can understand the frustration of the Reader’s Feature, when you look at where Sega could be and where they actually are, but I think it’s just all a question of money. Sega messed up decades ago and there’s no way to recover from that without massive injections of cash. That’s hopefully where this Microsoft deal for the ‘super games’ comes in, because otherwise the Sonic and PC games are just what’s keeping the lights on, and they haven’t got the scope for anything more. It’s not them being ‘stupid’ or lazy, they just don’t have the capacity.
That doesn’t mean they haven’t made some questionable decisions over the years, of course, but I try to look on the positive side and imagine that things are on the up at the moment. And if they are then that means that everyone’s dreams about a reboot of their favourite franchise could actually happen.
Maybe this should be a Hot Topic, but I just wonder what readers think is Sega’s best franchise and which one is most deserving of a comeback. That might not be exactly the same thing for some people, as for me my favourite is OutRun but I actually thing old school, single-player Phantasy Star would be the best game to bring back. I would happily settle for Skies Of Arcadia, Panzer Dragoon, and Shinobi as well.
