Comments on: Sega Teases Famitsu Scoop That Will ‘Rile Up’ Games Industry https://retroages.com/sega-rumour-will-rile-up-games-industry/ Fri, 31 Jul 2020 21:53:56 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Barry Pearson https://retroages.com/sega-rumour-will-rile-up-games-industry/#comment-131 Fri, 31 Jul 2020 21:53:56 +0000 https://retroages.co.uk/?p=995#comment-131 In reply to unleash.

You’re also forgetting:
6. A webcam attachment to see your friends online while playing Visual Park
7. A web browser that let you… well browse the web. As well as an email client
8. Mouse and Keyboard support for many FPS games. I specifically remember having split-screen Outtrigger and Quake 3: Arena deathmatches with two Keyboard and Mouse setups
9. Support for ‘HD’ resolutions using the VGA output. It wasn’t quite HD but was really crisp at 680x480p
10. As a console it was the birthplace of many great series such as PSO, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Power Stone and many, many more.

1. Online capabilities built in, including the ability to connect with broadband in 1999!
2. Voice chat in games such as Alien Front Online.
3. Second display with the VMU.
4. Four player support with the built in controller ports.
5. Fantastic third party support (at the start) as well as some unique first party games.

Sega already has a history with Microsoft. The Sega Dreamcast used Windows CE as an option for developers to create games (You can even see the Windows CE logo on the front of Dreamcasts).
The original xbox has a lot of Sega exclusive titles such as Jet Set Radio Future, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Sega GT 2002, Gun Valkyrie and I’m sure there were many more.
I believe that Microsoft were even considering purchasing Sega back then to hive them a running start with the Xbox.
