CHICKENS IN OUTER SPACE! PROTECTING THE HUMAN RACE!

Killer app material right there!

Just wanted to point out that Nights was made by Yugi Naka, spelled wrong I'm sure, and he left Sega to found Prope. However, Sega invested in Prope, and you know...

Yuji Naka may have left, but he never wanted to doa sequel for NiGHTS so he's not likely to participate even if it is true. However Sega still has some of thier old talent lieying around they could sprinkle some pixie dust on and get thier magic back.

I kind of get the impression that you are in denial in regards to present day Sega, they have no magic left anymore.

Seriously. Sega died with the Dreamcast.

Adrock · « **Reply #61 on:** March 17, 2007, 06:49:25 PM »

In the last few years, Sega has made too many games which is why most of them are so bad. They're rushed andsloppy. Instead, they should work on only a few titles at a time and work on them until they're ready. Then they might get some credibility back.

A game like NiGHTS could bring old Sega back. It's a franchise some people have fond memories of. Releasing a good sequel could put them back on track.

Surely after releasing so many mediocre Sonic sequels these days Sega could make a good sequel of SOMETHING.

Then again, I don't think Sega could fall out of a boat and hit water. In terms of game development at least - I haven't had the opportunity to literally test out this theory with a Sega staffer.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #64 on:** March 17, 2007, 08:21:37 PM »

It is really sad actually how far Sega has fallen, they were at one time my second favorite developer. Now they are closing in on being one of the crappiest "big" developers out there.

The Traveller · « **Reply #65 on:** March 17, 2007, 09:58:08 PM »

Sega actually used to put out a lot of titles, specially in the Dreamcast days. Its not that they are making too many games, its that they the people making the games dont have a clue.

Ah the dreamcast days, which had some of the best Sega titles of all time! Too bad the failure of Dreamcast is pretty much what caused their downward spiral.

Adrock · « **Reply #67 on:** March 18, 2007, 06:12:44 AM »

They've always put out a lot of titles. I'm just saying that working on a fewer titles could be the best thing for them. I hate to say it but they might have to layoff a lot of people and keep the best programmers, designers etc. they have then have them create titles, even if they release less of them. Sega was a great developer. Over the past few years, they got their priorities mixed up. They wanted to be the biggest 3rd party developer/publisher and their focus shifted from making good games to publishing a lot of games, regardless of quality. I feel like they need to take a good look at their business model, realize that it's not that good, and start fresh.

This is Sega, business sense has always been their weakness. This is the firm that heavily supported the Xbox at the start of the last generation despite lagging sales of their games on the console, and with titles which would have done infinitely better on either the PS2 or GCN.

They have had some success on their side though. Despite critical reception, the Sonic games still sell very well, while the Mushiking series was pretty hot for awhile... but they seemed to have dropped the ball there now.

So NuGHTS is gonna be on the Wii? Never heard of that title before...

Actually wouldn't that boil down to Market Research really in the end?

Nope, this is no joke guys. Here's Chandra (ONM Editor) clearing up on what's going on with this rumour. And explaining how it is not an April Fools!

If I hadn't seen these Link's on the Web and hadn't just seen the pages in front of me in my copy of ONM I don't think I'd ever have guessed it was NiGHTS 2.

Anyways. Like the rest, when I first saw the links (I saw the links before the pages, how did that happen, I skipped right past the page? LOL!) I was saying "No, don't do this to me again. But they (ONM) have said now for the last couple of issues they've had to sign a good few NDA's! And Chandra has just got back from Japan from an exclusive test of a new secret game.

NiGHTS 2 is becoming a reality

Last of all. Yes SEGA suck, I hate them, they wreck everything they touch and I don't know why I thought Secret rings would be any different but I haven't played it since the day I bought it. But i'm keen to point out, that neither Sonic team or SEGA have anything to do with Yuji Naka or his new development team. Naka took his best team members and left long ago. The only relationship he has now with SEGA is they have given him some funding for his new development team/studio. As is my understanding.

Naka's the kinda guy who always wants to move onto bigger and better things. Personal opinion coming this way... He's done with Sega and Sonic and he wants to create a whole new world of gaming, that'll go nicely with the Wii's concept then.

I'm very excited to see what NiGHTS 2 brings. Naturally, i'll be keeping my guard up, don't want to get too excited too early. But as Chandra said, something will likely be leaked onto the web before their next issue hits the shelves.

But if/when we start seeing NiGHTS 2 footage, man... Gaming really will never be the same!

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #72 on:** March 18, 2007, 11:06:49 AM »

So wait, is Yuji Naka working on this or is the disembodied Sonic Team working on this?

Ceric · « **Reply #73 on:** March 18, 2007, 11:31:56 AM »

My bet is on a rag doll person with the cursor being its mid-section that you fly through rings and whatever else you do in NiGHTs.

MarioAllStar · « **Reply #74 on:** March 18, 2007, 11:55:03 AM »

A rag doll is too lifeless for a flying game like NiGHTS. Having the character follow the cursor might work, but dragging the character wouldn't allow the fluid motion of the original.

This game would be really cool if it didn't require the sensor bar so one doesn't have to work within the confines of the screen as much. Being able to move your character around with broader motions would be neat.
