Incline Sega is Working on a “String of High Quality PC Ports”

[SCO]

They are gonna port VC2

VC3 is better

Was it actually released in the west?

It has a fan translation patch.

 

[SwiftCrack]

Skies of Arcadia Legends would be dope.

 

[Menckenstein]

Did the Shenmues ever come to PC?

 

[Rahdulan]

They are gonna port VC2

Considering it's a PSP title I don't really see it. And SEGA probably won't throw all the mega bux at it like SE did for FF15 demo vessel Type-0 remake.

 

[Bahamut]

Skies of Arcadia Legends would be dope.

Yea, along with unerfed soundtrack GCN wersion had

Did the Shenmues ever come to PC?

Not yet, but 3rd one is comming to PC so i am pretty sure we will get PC versions sooner or later

 

[oddech_wymarlych_swiatow]

Persona 5 release date moved to 2016 due to effort of making PC port.

Spoiler

I mean I wish.

Has Sega made any good games in the last 20 years?

Both of those had Japanese PC releases, which the Steam ports are based on.

Never heard of this site before, but it can't be worse than the gaming sites I do know about.

Sega still maintains a very healthy PC business in the West. WhenSonic Lost Worldwas revealed for a PC release,Sega’s press releasestated it was “the latest in a string of high quality PC ports of past SEGA titles that we will be building on in the coming months and years.”

A source has told TSSZ how extensive that lineup could now be. The source believes PC releases will be a key component of Sega’s business strategy in 2016, with many of Sega’s library titles being considered for rollout beginning this year. That includes “heavily” considering bringing the Yakuza franchise to PC, in order, beginning withYakuza 0. Our source says nothing has been finalized there, in part because of the large undertaking required to port games of that size, and licensing issues not unlike thosepreventing the re-release of Shenmueto current systems.

But other titles are considered high priority for PC as well, according to our source. That includesVanquish,Resonance of Fate, titles in theHatsune Miku: Project DIVAfranchise, andVirtua Fighter 5. We notedearlier this weekthatSonic Colorsis also on that high-priority list.

Also considered a high-priority for PC is the recently announcedValkyria: Azure Revolution. To this point it has only been announced for Playstation 4 in Japan, and is set for release at the end of the year there. No talk has been made publicly about it coming West. A PC port may afford such an opportunity.

Our source also indicated Sega wants to being several titles in the Atlus library to PC, but is facing some resistance from the Japan side.

Certainly, one should not expect all of these titles to drop at once in 2016–if it happens, it will be a while. But judging from this information, it appears Sega remains very committed to supporting PC gamers.

They seem to have a lot of SEGA related stuff on it, at least.

 

[PulsatingBrain]

I'd love to see a good, new version of Crazy Taxi, but that just seems like a complete fantasy now

 

[Martius]

Most of that sounds too good to be true, although I wouldn't be surprised if at least part about Atlus is true. Since they dont care much about proper releasing game in Europe it could be similar for even thinking about pc ports.

 

[ZoddGuts]

Can't believe they wasted time on porting Sonic Lost Worlds even Sonic are saying "why?". Game bombed hard on PC, hope it doesn't effect on any other ports that their thinking of brining over. Sonic Colors would've been a far better choice since it's well regarded unlike Lost Worlds. Anyways hope that rumor is true except the Atlus being dick heads part.

 

[LESS T_T]

I think TSSZ has a history of dodgey rumors from their "sources".

 

[tormund]

I want to say that it won't affect their plans about future ports but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it did, and if this talk about string of PC ports just faded into silence, since that would fit with Sega's trademark alien logic...

Forget about any yakuza or other high priority sega ip ever coming to pc.
Valykria chronicles was a a very successful fluke that won't repeat itself.

And SEGA will find this out how exactly?

Sega would probably be projecting 500k+ sales to even consider porting yakuza.
That could be achieved if it wasn't for one major factor:Steam refund changed the game for japanese developers.
With the refunds system in place all those sales can be lowered by substantial amount considering sega wouldn't give a rats ass about the port.
So when any sega business person tries to estimate the profitability of a pc port they will probably abandon the idea immediately.(unless it is some mobile port).

im working on a string of high quality anal beads for your mangled mess of an ass

Then they are absolutely fucking retarded. Now, I don't put anything past SEGA, but I don't think they're that dumb. A PC port doesn't take much effort or money.

Yakuza 4 sold horribly on consoles in the West. Maybe they should stop releasing the series in the West altogether?

Dont you fucking say that. We finally have 5 and Yakuza: Promised land is coming i most have these games.

And here's the first effort to quality PC port since VC: http://www.sega.co.uk/news/sega-mega-drive-classics-hub

GET READY TO LOAD THE SEGA MEGA DRIVE CLASSICS HUB

You may have been wondering why in recent weeks we have been quizzing you on SEGA Central about your favourite MEGA Drive/Genesis Characters, Games, Memories & giving away themed swag… That’s because we’re celebrating the launch of the new SEGA Mega Drive Classics Hub releasing as a free update on Steam, get ready to load on April 28th.

The new-look system is based on a bedroom of an early nineties SEGA fan with dynamic time-of-day conditions, retro SEGA paraphernalia, a shelf full of MEGA Drive games (including the ones you own) and of course a CRT TV! That’s not all, every single MEGA Drive game will now feature Steam Workshop support allowing you to share modified versions of your favourite retro SEGA titles!

In addition to these new features, the new SEGA Mega Drive hub also includes;

• spot-on emulation
• local co-op for games that support it
• optional graphic enhancement filters
• the ability to save at any point in the gameplay
• full controller / keyboard support

The following games will be accessible through the new hub on release - if you already own these games, just wait for the update & press start!

I think it's cool.

 

[Excidium II]

Shrug.

 

[Barbarian]

These faggots better release shenmue ports soon. With a new game coming it would be incredibly stupid to wait too long to do it.

Then again Sega isn't known for making the best business decisions... or for being competent in general when it comes to running things.

 

[Siveon]

It's cool, but I'm really hoping for some Yakuza, Shenmue, and hell... maybe Panzer Dragoon.
