anyone heard that Yuiji Naka may be leaving sega? ( Creator of Sonic )

[Ian Sane]

"I bought a Saturn just to play NiGHTs into Dreams but I still haven't purchased it to play yet. I just got tired of reading how uber a game it was. If it was so great why didn't they Make a new one?"

Yuji Naka apparently feels the original was so perfect that he's afraid that if they port it or make a sequel they'll f*ck it up.  So even he doesn't have much faith in Sonic Team.

Though I would never think that a game isn't great just because there's no sequel.  Sequels are for games that sell, not necessarily games that are great.

More of the point that it was on a relatively low user base platform.

They never wrote a sequel to Moby Dick or The Scarlet Letter, but... uh I forgot where I was going with that.

[animecyberrat]

I have played NiGHTS, and as it satnds the game is perfect. Nevermind the glitches and transparencies cuz the game was pushing the saturn to its limits.



Sega continues to pressure Naka to make a sequel, but like Ian already said, he doesnt want to mess up the original game at all. the best they could do was make a NiGHTS level in Sonic Adventure which was a nice reference by the way and a fun level also.

The other reason why NiGHTS doesnt geta  sequel is because Sega is under the mentality that original titles sell betetr than sequels which is why the only games getting seguels are thier top franchises that are proven sellers. Like Sonic and Virtua Fighter. Phantasy Star Online is cool and all but I miss the old style Phantasy Star games, they were so friggin awesome.
