      This is so wild. whenever i see this stuff i wonder - why not do what Blizzard would do? Reveal that they are making a 1 player game to flesh out the character & tease for a real multiplayer game later? rebrand and tease - buy some time & specialize. Looks like it could have been a fun game if the 'job description' wasn't initially inflated so badly. "open world" was just thrown around a lot.

      @AcornElectron Před 22 dny +3

      The biggest problem with SEGA was the internal management structure and the massive division between SEGA Japan and the American side. Killing your own expansion console before day one is pretty telling. Massive shame since Megadrive and Dreamcast were both right up there in their respective time periods. GD Rom didn’t help DC but I think the nails were already in the coffin by the time anything could be done about that.
      Ah well, maybe we can count on Microsoft to be the Sega we miss so much? Or are they going the same way?

    @otakubullfrog1665 Před 23 dny +13

    Maybe the trick to getting Golden Axe right might be to design it as an arcade game rather than a console game (even if it will of course be ported to consoles). Part of what made Golden Axe great was that it was so simple and intuitive, so the sort of game that features a tutorial that takes longer to play than some of the earlier installments in the series just isn't going to feel like a Golden Axe game no matter how much of the iconography it includes.

      Dotemu has no further interest in developing more streets of rage. if you would actually followed the devs when the game released they made it clear that this Game was a oneshot project. The artist also made it clear that he does not want to draw this many sprites again, anytime soon and that the workload was almost to much for such a tiny team. Its not sega, dotemu just dont want to do such projects again, at least not in the same franchise. Its not worth for a franchise they dont even own.

      That's exactly how I remember being turned off by Sega. I was a huge fan of the Master System and Genesis but then there was the CD, the 32X, the Saturn, the Dreamcast all seemingly within a few months of each other. It made their consoles seem disposable.

There hadn't been a single console between the 2 years, Sega actually focused on games by that time! Feels like parents and people should have been ready by then. Every 1st-party video-game company makes a new generation of consoles every 5+ years and Sega just wanted to get theirs in early.

    I picked this up dirt cheap three or four years after it came out and didn't hate it. It sucks that the multiplayer was cut, and its nowhere near as much fun as the original games or most of the older spinoffs sure but if they had to limit us to one character at least they picked my favorite of the playable characters from the pre-Golden Axe III games. (By the time I started playing Golden Axe I and Ii I had noticed that I often preferred the female character or one of the female cocharacters in beat em ups and fighting games so I chose her from the start of my first time playing it at some of my cousins' house) I think a Diablo style Golden Axe game could be a lot of fun but I doubt it will ever happen.

    Probably still a game worth picking up, though. Especially considering its history. Videogame collectors are a strange bunch, after all. They'll (me ok' me' it's me) will aknowledge a game as being a bit of a turd but still want it anyway purely due to the mark (regardless of whether that mark is negative) it left on the franchise history. Just look at crap like bullet witch' x blades or velvet assassin. None are great games and could barely scrape by as good. But have seen their prices rise purely due to their historic? significance. I can imagine beast rider being a game worth picking up purely as a future investment rather than because its a game worth giving your time to. In my semi phenomonal' nearly cosmic experience of videogame collecting ' I do see beast rider as a game worth grabbing while the price is still low for that reason. That and it has a female protagonist that will always appeal to the thirstier element of the videogame community. In that respect I'm still, rather supprised that even today a game like too human is still pocket change considering the interesting history behind its development' and the fact that it was pulled from sale due to its unlawful use of the game engine the devs used for it.

    I personally didn't have much of a problem with the game being 3D or if they had decided to go for an open world format but, but I did have a massive problem with the fact that the combat was so clunky and felt that times incredibly awkward not to mention the fact that the camera had a really horrifying habit of zoom in like 2 inches away from your character's shoulder blades to the point you literally couldn't see Jack shit! Beast rider had so much potential but it was completely squandered. If another attempt it's a Golden Axe game like this was done (and I admit that is unlikely) I sincerely hope that the team would be given the staff, resources and time they need to get the job done right Because we all saw what half-assing and it did.
