Sega announced the company will begin to develop new arcade game titles for Sammy's Atomiswave system starting this fall. In addition, Sega will publish all future games in Sammy / Arc System Work's Guilty Gear series.

Sorry if it has been posted already, but I just noticed it now. Let's see if we can start to see good games for the AW for God's sake :rolleyes:

was naomi 2 too good? they had to regress?

sega was the pioneer of arcade technologies (virtua racing, virtua fighter, daytona usa) and now theyre going to 6 year old hardware?

:(

"Sega" and "make new games" should never be in the same paragraph. Those bastards have been porting and copying and pasting games since they went 3rd party.

This goes under the "well, duh" file. Sammy's hostile takeover of Sega was so Sega would be forced to make AW titles. I hope that they're good.
As for state of the art hardware, I'm hearing that Sega is making a new board codenamed "Naomi 3" that will be used for the next Virtua Fighter and Sega Rally games. That's what I heard... :)

No kidding man, those games are crap. They had Demolish Fist at the shooting game at an arcade I went to in Wisconsin today and god, they just sucked.

I feel pretty bad for SEGA from advancing and developing
content for the triforce chihiro board and the naomi, which is to my understanding
better than the aw.
it's like taking a big step back.
especially when you consider that alot of games that go to the arcade are
being ported to systems not to far afterwards.
it works for the 2d guilty gear games, but it doesn't stand well against the current
crop of consoles.
Sammy is thinking in the short term.

This makes me a little nervous about Sega's place in the industry. I really hope this isn't the beginning of the end for Sega .... it certainly seems like a rather strange move. Does Sega even have any successful 2-d franchises that are active today?

Meh, it was just a matter of time, since Sega was bought by Sammy.

They could (or even will) continue to develop for Chihiro and Naomi 2. but Sammy obviously want attention to her new toy, what they want to use to take over the arcade market. Meh.

It's funny to hear people in neo-geo.com complaining about games being developed for a system that they consider too old , but in part you are right... As I said, I just want to see goddamn good games in an arcade hardware like the AW.

Well, personally I don't have anything against Sammy or AW, and even got hyped but the AW idea (not the SNK support, but the AW concept), but actually I think it's a 'too little, too late' system... maybe they must had beefed it up for 2D, I think.

So I prefer Sega at Chihiro/Naomi 2 than AW, but... Sammy=Sega now, so there's no point in crying over that.

I was just about to post that. Funny indeed. Old hardware...who cares, really, as long as the games are enjoyable and leaves a lasting impression, that's most important IMHO.

I'd sit here and pray for a killer new 2D Sonic game, but that will never happen.
Rhioki, you still have one of the best sigs this side of BBH. fap fap fap fap fap.
