Another end of the fiscal year has come and gone, and with it come plans for game companies to improve upon themselves. SEGA is no different, as they have published a document detailing some of their plans in a "Road to 2020" business presentation. An interesting thing to note is that SEGA's profits have increased, and have almost fully recovered, after two years of decline. (FY 2015, 2016) SEGA's gaming branch main goals are also stated: create titles that aren't just a hit in Japan, but worldwide as well, trying to revive popular older intellectual properties, and focusing on the sizeable and ever-growing western PC market. This report comes directly after announcements of Steam ports of two popular SEGA-published games, Bayonetta and Vanquish, both reaching Steam's top sellers list. Which IPs the Japanese company intends to revive are unknown, but keep your eyes out for more news on the matter.

• Expand existing IPs and obtain new IPs for North American and European PC games

• Build revenue base by being entrusted with outsourced development

• Challenge for new IPs

• Revival of major IPs

• Effective utilization of development engines

[Exavold]

1. Sakura Wars (2457)

Heh , can't say I'm surprised but hopefully they'll ask western audiences too.

After the INsuccess of Project diva X HD (which should have been a big title of the F/X series since it was the 10th annyversary), i hope they'll do a mega update, or a new diva F style like F2nd was or port F2nd and F in one big game on ps4 and finally have it on 60fps. Even if the dlcs were still dcls and actually not included in the game i'll buy that.

To add on, SEGA JP took a poll last year, asking fans which series they'd like to see return. Results were:

1. Sakura Wars (2457)
2. Jet Set Radio (1485)
3. Virtual On (729)
4. Shenmue (727)
5. Virtua Fighter (581)
6. Panzer Dragoon (538)
7. Shining Force (518)
8. Skies of Arcadia (483)
9. Streets of Rage (437)
10. NiGHTS into dreams… (261)
11. Space Channel 4 (234)
12. Shinobi (144)
13. Sangokushi Taisen Trading Cards
14. Burning Rangers (115)
15. Fashionable Witches Love & Berry (105)

Skies of Arcadia, Shining Force, and Jet Grind PC port are what I'd like to see most of all from sega.

Please no, that game still haunts me from when I was a child. Bumping into rocks, not knowing where to go, ALIENS. Shiver.



As much as I remember this on the Genesis, this one's an accolade game, a company that was IIRC part of Atari and now dead.


Phantasy Star Online is such a huge thing in Japan, you'd think they'd want to make an old school one to capitalize on the franchise.


Gunstar was Treasure, no? Not SEGA. Also Bubsy 1 is a fun game.

that is sega main issue lestening to only jap audience, sakura wars is one of those games japan loves and the rest of the world says meh and becomes a sales failures same for some other titles there.

Wait, Space Channel 4 ?

Space Channel 4 (234)

Olala, Right up there with TRL, and if that was able to make a come back....get ready for Sonic 06 redux 017.

Seriously, I'd really like 10 of the 15 titles in that poll to become real.

Co-produced, Sega has SOME possible holding over it, othewise, it wouldn't be on 3DS or steam. Even on steam it says SEGA, and bubsy doesn't make sense to me so ummm there is that.

To add on, SEGA JP took a poll last year, asking fans which series they'd like to see return.

Why is like things like this, is like they always put Japan first before anything else, I'm not just talking about games and their release dates, I mean they seem to be survey Japan region for location focus testing than others, is always more prominent than other areas, especially fighting games, is as if Japan don't want it, then they don't make it, even if the rest of the world wants it.

Intellectual Property.

 

[Mark McDonut]

Sega needs to unnastand the concept of love. And actually do something with streets of rage since they sunk the legal dick into SORR.

 

[zeveroth]

Wasn't Shenmu being redone by someone on kickstarter?
