Sucks to be a product manager at Sega these days.
No matter what titles you want to promote, reporters and fanboys will end up pestering you with requests for their favorite long lost franchises.

Simon Jeffery is a pretty cool bloke. I had no idea until recently watching these videos he was a Brit as well. Down to earth kinda guy.

I can see where he’s coming from with the ‘no’s to all those questions (despite that all of us here must have bought Dreamcasts - I actually got two XD - nobody else did :(, making a Dreamcast 2 kinda pointless), but Sega could at least tap into their old IPs and revisit once in a while, couldn’t they?

I hear everyone say “Oh but Sega is crap”. No they’re not, really. Just Sonic Team, and those wretched Sonic games of theirs :P. The rest of Sega? Mostly badass. I want English of the Dead.

@Gamerschoice - That happened to me the other day too. When I clicked on comments, they weren’t there and half the article was missing. But it only happened the once, and I just thought that my Internet was going screwy (which happens all the time now).
…I’ll try and contact the tech chaps.

Seeing Simon Jeffery in these interviews really has impressed me. He seems to have his head on straight, and management was always, always Sega’s weak spot.

At the same time, this particular exchange was truly painful. It shouldn’t be; I certainly don’t expect a Dreamcast 2 or Shenmue 3. But apparently I prefer the ambiguity of “No plans right now” and “We have nothing to announce” to the very direct answers here. :(

I’m am however still holding on to the hope for a new Skies of Arcadia. I think that’s not completely outside the realm of possibility.

You big tease. Simon Jeffery you big tease.

Just as a note, has the article/comments been messing up for the rest of you? Sometimes I click to read the rest of an article and there’s nothing there. Same deal with the comments.

!! He says Sega’s the #1 third party developer on the Wii! I guess it is true that Mario & Sonic sold tremendous amounts, but I sure am glad to hear that Sega can still make the top of something these days.
