Go sammy? I think.

[Perfect Stu]

ouch.

[TheGame]

Now that they have new ownership, they might stop failing at everything!!! Good news for sega imo. :)

[Dark Samurai]

Thats sadening.

Was that the big annoucement we were supposed to hear from Sega?

[Dyne]

No, it was either Matrix Online, or Phantasy Star Universe.

But I think this buyout will directly affect the industry in some way.

There were too many S's in that...i dont think this will stop Sega from failing.....those two things go hand in hand....

If you are refering to 'Sega' and 'Failing' as the two things than go hand in hand, I agree :)

[MuGen]

This is good news... Sega can add their knowledge to the making of a new Guilty Gear which will feature Sonic as a hidden character
lol :p

Bad news. Because Sammy has always been talking about making more pachinko machines rather then games so I dont see good in the merger.

And why did sega have to sell to Sammy? There are tons more companies that are better to buyout sega then sammy.

^ Nice red X

Anyway, I agree with Jonbo, anyone else couldve taken the series further. Nintendo, Sony, Micro$oft, Capcom, EA or any others wouldve been good

I see the image fine. Maybe try copying image link location and pasting it.

I hope Sonic's glorious days on the Genesis are revived by this new company.

I was under the impression that it was a hostile takeover. 78% of the shares.. holy crap. That is a LOT. Even after their previous stake.

Lol, that kid just got his ass whooped by Mickey Mouse. :rofl:

Alright I want this SEGA dissing to stop. They made some amazing games back in their day, and they still make some pretty awsome games from time to time, and their sports games STILL beat those from EA.

Why'd you have to go and say a thing like that? I'll just put it like this, Sega's sports have good gameplay, but nothing mind blowing, as does EA's Sports games... the difference is EA changes enough in there games from year to year to warrarnt another purchase.

I remembered when Sega predicted that they would be the biggest third party in the industry by the end of 2003... :lol:

Sega is a joke now... EA Sports>>>>>Sega sports, EA>>>>>Sega, period.

[Typhoid]

Sega had its glory days, but alas those were behind us all. I dont see a Sega console making a giant leap and comback or anything....but i want them to, just so i can hear the thing at the beginning " Seeeeeegaaaaaaa"


But either way, they need to come out with a NEW Sonic game...not Sonic heroes....that game was a pant-load. It was fun for a whole of about....5 minutes or so, until you realise...wait...the whle game's this bad? They need to re-invent Sonic games....again...but better....not how they are now, but how they were then..

[Crash]

oh great, sega pwned by a slot machine maker. :/

that means we'll see sonic on slot machines!!!! yay!

it can't be good for sega. can't be good at all. nintendo should have bought that up... sammy... next thing you know, Kraft cheese will buy up Silicon Knights.
