Senaste åren har varit tuffe för Sega. Trots flertalet kvalitetstitlar (däribland finfina Sonic Mania) har det släppts minst lika mycket renodlad dynga och varumärket är helt enkelt inte lika starkt som det en gång var. Detta vet naturligtvis Sega om och i ett försök att ta nya tag har man nu gått ut med att man ska börja göra bättre spel, med mer tanke bakom. Det är spelsidan Dualshockers som i en artikel har citerat Sega Sammy CEO Haruki Satomi på en rad punkter där han bland annat tar upp den nya inriktningen för det som en gång i tiden var världens mäktigaste spelhus. Bland annat arbetar man nu på att återuppliva en gammal spelserie samt skapa en helt ny sådan utöver Sonic/Shenmue och Yakuza som är företagets storsäljare.

Nedan kan du läsa ett utdrag ur Dualshockers artikel:
Last year, Satomi-san extended two relevant messages to his employees. The first is "let's regain confidence and pride because we have many fans supporting us." The second is "We have to provide exciting content for those fans." Previously, he used to feel that the entire group had lost confidence, so he thought that it was necessary to change the mindset of its employees. One important element that he aimed to address is that producers would release games only when confident that they're "absolutely a good game or service" whether or not they expect big sales. Satomi-san believes that the company is managing to regain the trust of consumers, and that commitment to the quality of the product plays a major role in improving earnings performance as well. Interestingly, he believes that it's not good to just blame the situation of the market when something doesn't go well. Satomi-san explained that he heard the message from the fans about wanting relevant old series to come back, so he thought it was necessary to develop games to meet these expectations. Just a few years ago, there was a proposal about creating a new series from the company's IPs. At that time, he mentioned that he was ready to bring back Sakura Wars, and the room went silent. However, when the meeting was over and he was about to leave, the staff enthusiastically told him "I absolutely want to do that" so he responded, "why didn't you say that during the meeting?" So, in the end, they decided to bring back the series backed by the support of the fans and by the enthusiasm of the developers. Satomi-san will be directly in charge as project owner and executive producer, so we should expect more information to come down the line." Länk till artikeln här!

Vad tror du, kan detta vara rätt väg in i framtiden för företaget bakom klassiker som Sonic, Out Run, Streets of Rage, Shenmue samt Wonder Boy?
