ACTION 5 NEWS with Chuck Scarsdale

if Sega was serious, they would translate and bring over Star Horse to American casinos and I can enjoy the very nice chairs while I try to pull SSR Seabiscuit

“New” is a stretch for most of those.

Currently the only game on my upcoming games list is Eitr (no release date).

The once-announced Night Slashers remake (remake? hopefully just a port or whatever you call an emulated thing, if necessary) would be on there, but that was a tiny article a year ago and I’m not sure if it’s still happening.

(I know, I know, Night Slashers is already on Switch. Darn Switch. The “Johnny Turbo’s Arcade” version may be slightly blurry, anyway?)

Edit: Oh and there’s an apparently quite bad version on Steam.

And I finally finished Riven this year lol

Oh well, I’m still most hype for that of any remake.

Honestly it was.

The full flowering of the western indie and small studio space and transition to the edge of the mainstream, the revival of Japanese studios after they’d spent the better part of a decade in production hell, the first and most fruitful of the nostalgia revivals through Kickstarter and other funding means, and even some great use of open-world structure to revive some newer and older franchises.

I think it was more vital than it had been since 2003/4 when the PS2 era started calcifying and the high PC wave of Far Cry, Doom 3, and Half-Life 2 exhausted the PC as a unique prestige platform.

fly on the wall at SEGA boardroom meeting reports back to Studio:

Super Game mind map session:
Super Persona 5
Super Total War
Super New Genesis
Super Sonic The Hedgehog

:tarothink:

you know, if we had some RPG IP of some sorts, or an idea how to transform a jump’n’run character into a racing franchise, that would have helped, but Super Total War Sounds Like It Will Be a Hit, doesn’t it?

So what’s up for lunch today? :smirk:
