Sega should make a new console

I think that Sega should make a new Master System console. The Master System III. I know that they aren't as wealthy as they used to be and a failed console could ruin them. But they aren't doing anything else right now besides licensing third party games.

I think they should go full balls to the wall with it too. 6K GPU capability and the thing that will replace blu rays in a few years time. A petabyte sized hard drive, every previous Sega game available on their online store from the start including Saturn and Dreamcast and even arcade games. And a slot so that you can play both Master System and Genesis/Megadrive cartridges. Not to mention bios for running Sega CD, Saturn and Dreamcast disks.

As well as all this stuff they should release a decent amount of original titles from launch. Not remakes or existing franchises but brand new IPs. At least five. Of course bring out some remakes and old franchises as well.

Reboot Sonic. No Knuckles or Tails. Just Sonic. I don't want a remake of the first game either. I want an original Sonic game based on his original design and game play style. I'm talking 2.5D side scrolling and Robotnik is the only boss in the game. And no one can talk and it has to have old school electronic music like the old games had. None of this butt rock s***.

A really violent first person shooter. A lot of shooters these days are watered down. There's no real violence at all. I want to see brains flying everywhere.

Phantasy Star V. It's about time we got a single player Phantasy Star game. None of this Japan only mmo s***e. And of course make sure it has better voice acting than Phantasy Star Universe had.

Shenmue III. Goes without saying.

Shinobi IV. Like Sonic make it 2.5D. 3D Ninja games don't tend to do very well.

Splatter House IV. Ultra violent beat em up where you play as a guy in a magic hockey mask fighting demons in a haunted house. This one should be 3D but it should be like dark souls. Only violent and disturbing as heck.

Finally get all the third party developers on board.

Perhaps the GPU and "purple ray?" is a bit much but I reckon they'd make lots of money regardless if they followed my ideas.

If its game selection is better than the rubbish that is the PS4 and Xbox One catalog right now then sure.

Wait, SEGA? You mean the Sonic guys? Aren't they dead, due to the fact that they've made so much cancer in the last decade?

Remember 2006.

Sort of off-topic, but Sega got a new guy running their Sonic PR twitter account, and the guy is actually pretty self-aware and amusing:

As much as I'd love to see Sega have another crack at it, and succeed, there's really no place for them in the market. What you're proposing is—besides being a self-aware pipe-dream—more of a collector's piece that very few people would be interested in. It's not something that could compete with current consoles, given that Microsoft and Sony have massive brand loyalty for your standard console, and Nintendo have that, plus everyone who thinks consoles should be for party games in the living space.

For everyone else there's MasterCard PC.

That Sonic game you described is already a thing - pretty much that exactly. It's called Sonic 4 Episode I, and it wasn't any good.

Shenmue III is also already going to be a thing; Shinobi IV: yes please; Splatter House IV: not for me; and Phantasy Star V should be a faithful remake of Phantasy Star Online - episode I & II.

I know you're kidding with this, but there are reasons that consoles can't just use the highest-end possible components. You have to fulfill a lot of requirements - consumers want a small-size box: this necessitates a low power consumption - there isn't room for much airflow or huge a*** heatsinks. Second, there's cost. Consumers aren't willing to spend $1000 on a game console, especially since it's perfectly possible to create impressive, great looking games on $300 - $400 one (Battlefront is a great example, even if the game sucks). Games that run and/or look bad are the fault of the developer - they're designing for a platform, and their software doesn't work properly on it. Sony and MS are going to buy from the company that offers the best value and most reliable solution, if not necessarily the fastest.

Really, all the consoles needed to be was a huge jump over the PS360, and they are.

Yeah true. But they still need to be ahead of everyone else's hardware to be appealing. No one's going to buy their console if it doesn't have anything impressive about it. Part of the Wii u's problem was that it was a step behind the other systems. It's basic marketing strategy to try to be head of the competition.

I think that if Sega released a lot of games out right and offered a lot of features on their online service then it might justify a relatively high price tag for the machine.

Yeah, remember Sony with the Playstation 3?

They tried to stick $900 of hardware in a box and sell it for $600, and it almost killed them. Heck, they're still paying for it because part of the reason they're in the mess they're in now is because of that. They barely made any profit off the PS3 because of that.

I do like the idea of Sega making a comeback, if anything as a fail safe because despite the PS4's success, there's still a chance Sony may no longer be in the console race during the next generation...of course now it's a slimmer chance than it was at the start of this generation, but it's still a chance.

Anyway, Sega coming back would be great, but I would take out all the Classic Sega attachments and just have all previous Sega generation games on an online store to buy and download, then I would pull a Nintendo and release a wireless version of all the classic
Sega controllers for the new console. Why not right, Nintendo made a killing off just changing the color of the Wii remotes. I may have the unpopular opinion here, but I would have the Console be all digital, and mainly for Sega saving money, it may not seem a like much, but the cost of putting games on discs do add up.

Digital only however much people dislike the idea is the future. My only concern is that the prices of digital games for consoles are too high right now. There's an issue of hard disk space as well. It's getting to a point where games are so large that even a terrabyte hard drive isn't big enough to store all the games. So if they keep the prices at around £30 instead of 50 and give us bigger hard drives then I'm fine with digital only.

Oh I agree that digital games are too high for the consoles...they need to lower them a bit and also give us more hard drive space.

So yeah, I'm fine with that too and believe all consoles should already be doing this.
