heh Poor ACR will be unhappy with that news, but somebody had to say it. Yes Yuji Naka has left sega to form his own studio, as many others have done, he's of no exception. But he's really been unhappy/upset with the way things are being run with sammy.

ok I was being sarcastic, if you have ever been to Sega.com you woudl know that they dont HAVE a news section. I heard about that Naka leaving on sega boads a while back but didnt think anythign of it because he is well past his prime.

Dr. Eggman has beard right?...

Looking for a brand new Nights with the option of playing the original (locked away in the game).

MysticGohan · « **Reply #53 on:** April 20, 2006, 06:21:47 PM »

hmmmm..... Actually... It's Dr. Robotnik ( I prefer that term ) I don't recall him ever having a beard.. But a mustache..! he did.

You guys do realize that Famitsu is the Japanese equivalent of Gamepro, right? It's not the "uber well respected mag" that everyone makes it out to be. It used to be well respected anyway. Ironically, only Americans still take this mag seriously. For one thing, the person who enlightened me with this bit of info used to work for PGC long ago, and he's quite well aware of what's going on in Japan.

Which is a bit odd, considering the creator of the game has said he doesn't want to another NiGHTS game because the original was so perfect. But here's hoping.

If the creator doesn't want to make a new one, I doubt anyone can force him to make a new one. Sega can get another team to work on it, but the true genius behind the game won't be involved. Anyway, this rumor is just that, a rumor. I seriously doubt it'll happen.

I don't know about it being the equivalent of GamePro...all their reviews seem to be spot-on in terms of my taste in games...

This is the first I am hearing of Famitsu being the equivalent of Gamepro. I can't think of a time that Famitsu let me down, with info or scores. Not really sure about rumors though. Terranigma Freak, please tell me why you say Famitsu is what it is. Im not arguing, I honestly just want to know, because as far as I could tell its one of the most trusted magazines out there.

Well Sonic Team made the original NiGHST and SOnic team is not the same now as they were then so if Sega makes a new NiGHTS I hoep to God they give it to one of thier better teams, like Hitmaker or AM2. (if they are still around its hard to keep track of whos who since the merger with Sammy.)

Terranigma Freak · « **Reply #59 on:** April 21, 2006, 12:04:14 PM »

Famitsu is known to give higher scores to their biggest advertisers like Capcom, Square, and Enix (Squareenix now). The person who told me this is Desmond Gaban, he used to contribute to PGC a few years ago. He knows the gaming scene in Japan.

the reason they havn't made a new Knights game is because a true sequel would require something like...the remote to once again wow players with a new level of interaction, a game that feels like you are flying. i've been wanting something like that for years, and was sour about the absence of flying in Luigi's Mansion and Mario Sunshine.

ThePerm · « **Reply #61 on:** April 21, 2006, 04:33:44 PM »

as far as video games go...how could you be past your prime? Its an intellectual effort.

Kairon · « **Reply #62 on:** April 21, 2006, 04:46:54 PM »

They've done studies that show that our greatest men have done their best work predominantly in their 20's. Why? Because once they married and "got the girl" they no longer needed to advertise for a mate, so one of the big subconscious reasons why they were so driven was fulfilled.

...Don't know why I remembered that all of a sudden...

Moral to Kairon's story.....don't get married! At least.....not until you have accomplished everything you passionately want to accomplish, eh?

I agree, flying must become mandatory for all games.

I just found out (all by myself!) that there actually was an idea for a sequel to NiGHTS. It was called Air NiGHTS, and was supposed to use a tilt sensor in the analogue pad of the Saturn. There was also a rumour that they wanted to use a motion sensing wand as a new controller for the game.

However, it was delayed, moved to the Dreamcast, and eventually cancelled. Also, as others have said, Naka didn't want to make a sequel because at the moment, he can't improve anything other than the graphics. So, after learning this, a Revolution iteration is very likely, and I don't know why we didn't see this earlier.

Very interesting..

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #67 on:** April 24, 2006, 06:02:32 AM »

What is interesting about IceCold's comments is when you take into account a Nintendo interview.

Nintendo stated that early on developing the Revolution that it let a small number of KEY DEVELOPERS in on the Revolution secrets from the very beginning.

Nobody knows who these developers as, but I speculate it wasn't the entire company, and was very much limited to keep everything a secret.

We already know that Retro helped design the Analog addon device. Would to be too hard to believe if Naka knew what Nintendo was working on with the controler. Perhaps had some input?

At the very least, he could have known early enough to begin designing the Nights sequel earlier than later.

Well hopefully SEGA will make it as one of the game anouncements they are doing every day starting tomorrow the 25th until the 10th of May.

animecyberrat · « **Reply #69 on:** April 24, 2006, 05:45:39 PM »

there are employees of Sega who occasional pop in at teh sega forums and they are saying the NiGHTs game IS really being developed. But obviously they can not say anything else.

Terranigma Freak · « **Reply #70 on:** April 25, 2006, 05:38:01 AM »

It's probably Xbox 360 exclusive considering how Sega loves to give MS their biggest franchise even though they sell like crap.

I can't vouch for other fields, but in physics and philosophy this is nonsense.

Ceric · « **Reply #72 on:** April 25, 2006, 06:03:29 AM »

Physics and Philosophy tend to take more time then other fields. You get your Idea around 20-something and if you weren't super driven to begin with your weeded out from success in those fields. So by the time you get recognition and the work to a point that it's acceptable you're past 20-something.

I could see this. That means I have no hope. Though I think it's a general rule but, with the right wife or other motivation it could easily be overcome.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #73 on:** April 25, 2006, 06:45:52 AM »

I don't completely buy that we do are best thinking at a younger age. It completely depends on the person and when they are motivated and inspired to work.

Usually that inspiration comes at a younger age while people are trying to prove themselves and create an identity. However, several creative and professional areas require more age and wisdom of life before you can accomplish great masterpieces.

Some of those include:

Writing (Novels, Screenplays, theories, law)
Doctors
Lawyers

And I can bet much more.

Basically I think the above is a myth that isn't proven at all.

Most film makers don't even get to make a movie until their mid-late thirties. I think the 'best' years, productivity wise, are the thirties (in general).
