I'm more than happy with a PC release of a future VF game.

Breaks my damn heart to read this.

Sega is sitting on so many awesome IPs, yet instead of using any of them they want to pump out tons of mediocre Sonic games.

I'd hate to say it, but they deserved this. Breaks my damn heart though...

Unfortunately there won't be one.

Thank you! PC! Please!

I'm all for the PC games of VF. PC needs to get some love as well. It's been some time that PC gets great games!! and steam is the way to go! I think because digital downloads on PC is much faster then xbox one and ps4! xbox one has a capped download speed on getting games and you is really not downloading at full speed.

It's time to see the sexy in VF! lets all save our pennies for a great gaming PC! or buy one at my store! lets go!

In the future, consoles are unnecessary. They kind of already are. Whether you see this as Sega dying or not, expect to see the next gen consoles not even be consoles or they stay consoles and everyone ditches 'em anyway.

Outside of Japan (arguably Asia) Sega's games don't do well. Their games are great, not doubt, but they don't sit well with the West for one reason or another. Shitty Sonic games and pedo games like Miku have their niche here though, so for Sega it makes sense to make shit games that pander to the West, since those are the only ones that sell.

Sonic Lost World on the Wii U is pretty awesome. From the sound of it, it's Sonic Team's last game on console as well.

It'd be cool if VF6 drops on the PC. It'll come if it comes, in the meantime there's great games to enjoy in it's absence.

Between the twins, it sounds like the PC is going to pull ahead seeing as how games are dropping on one console + pc, instead of PS4, Xbone and PC. Makes sense for a Japanese company seeing as handhelds and phones are the way to go, with the Xbone being a non-factor and the PS4 tanking.

Sega was publishing some cool stuff and I'm gonna miss that. Things like Alien Isolation, Resonance of Fate, Vanquish, Yakuza series. Probably never getting Yakuza 0 now, too.

I disagree.

Sure certain japanese themed games didn't resonate well with the Western audience. That's to be expected. Sega did have some very kooky games in their day. Yet, I don't believe that was their reason for failure.

The failed due to poor business choices (terrible sonic games out-sourced to 3rd party devs), apathy towards their western fans (how long have westerners been begging for PSO2, Yakuza, etc), lack of communication that they are even listening to their fans (have you visited their forums?), and amnesia over what made them so awesome in the 90's and early 2000's.

No one expected them to make another Shenmue. It was great, but far too expensive and didn't make the money they wanted. Yet, they are sitting on a treasure chest of great IPs. Why not let a small studio use the Panzer Dragoon IP and make a low budget "indie" game with it? Or let someone play around with the Burning Rangers franchise? Or let the guys who did Dragon's Crown use the Golden Axe name to reboot that series properly?

Lately, the only time Sega did something properly with a game, like publishing Alien: Isolation or the Total War series, they'd screw it up with another Sonic turd. And when they did put out a good Sonic game (Lost Worlds and Generations were fun), they'd almost immediately forgot about that game and trash their own mascot again. The Sonic Boom franchise needs to die a slow, horrible, disgusting death...

Sega had options, but they were very stubborn for some reason. I'm just a consumer, I don't know what they speak about in their board room meetings. Yet, it just boggles my mind that a company that's screwed up so much over the past decade still has such a loyal fanbase, yet can't capitalize on it.

rant over

Well most (if not all) of the bad business decisions are down to SoJ. They had a staunch refusal of working with the west. Their lack of marketing didn't help, but even when they did market stuff it didn't sell. They can't win. Again the U.S.

3 or 4 Yakuza games on the PS3 in the U.S. Didn't sell. They published 5 Platinum games. Nada. Panzer Dragoon and Burning Rangers? Outside of a dedicated fan base, nobody has heard of them. Sega in the West is still recognized as Sonic, Genesis, Dreamcast(with the hipsters sadly) and bad business decisions(SoJ should be getting blamed for this one).

You could make arguments about the handing them off to smaller developers, which in practice sounds cool, but who knows. Again, what's popular with enthusiasts isn't popular with the general consumer, on top of the gaming landscape in the U.S., and even then, Sega's titles are still divisive among enthusiasts.

Nintendo is going there as well, if not there by now, but history is kinder to their fuck ups and they have more sound business management, and even they are having a hard time on the gaming front. I love the Wii U, but that thing is STILL trailing behind the Dreamcast, lol.

Who knows, maaaaybe they'll release their legacy collections/games on PC? Those didn't sell well either though.

It will not last long like that, it will die or get absorbed. Please SEGA just release VF6 ASAP on consoles before you go Harakiri. Hope Shenmue 3 get released on PC

What I wanna know is what happens to Atlus now as Sega Sammy owns them..........I would be sincerely pissed if there were no more console Megaten games.

Hey, maybe this means we'll get VF6 PACHINKO! You the man, SEGA!

No wait... Japan will get VF6 PACHINKO! Suck it, RestoftheWorld!

Just so you know what awesomeness is in store, check out this vid of TEKKEN PACHINKO, suckers! You the man too, Namco!

All this means is Sega is gonna stop vomiting money on console game development and stop attempting to make big budget Triple A quality titles that FLOP such as Alpha Protocol and Sonic Boom.

Gonna focus on F2P pc games like they have with Spiral Knights on steam , and cell phone games, they just came out with a Sonic runner game for jp iOS

I think the worst news here is that Sega's brilliant marketing team will now be laid off, which means they'll be open in the market for other companies to hire, which means some day they will be heading marketing for some other company's top game franchises and kill the company off too.

I think sega will do fine selling games on PC. We do need PC gaming to come back into play!
so let them do what they want to do and support them. I mean 2 of they're games did great on PC!

Ug. I have never in my life owned a PC that played any video game as well as any console. I feel like I live in a different world from PC gamers entirely. There probably won't be a VF6 anyway though, so no big deal?

I hope we still get Yakuza 0 somehow. Seems like an odd way to end the franchise, but a fitting way to end Sega. Late 80's forever!
