Why is SEGAs 60th Birthday not front and center on the Store Page???

[*P0P$*FR3$H3NM3Y3R*]

Basdicly what the title reads.
I see STEAM is having a demo festival with lots of Indie games, while one of their most successful publishers having a birthday bash and which is nowhere to be found?
That's odd!

Time for sega to release some 80's arcade games on steam for old timers like myself to purchase. Games like outrun, afterburner, space harrier etc.

Yeah that would be great. For the time being you might want to check out Yakuza 0. The arcades in the game feature several of these classics to play:
Space Harrier, Outrun, Phantasy Zone, and Super Hang-On.
At 5 bucks at the moment is definetly a steal, it oozes old Sega vibe.

Can I add my support for the Yakuza series. I've played 0 and 1 so far. 0 I finished, 1 I've got myself in a fight I can't win so I may have to drop the difficulty (hopefully I can). They are very good games. (Full review of Yakuza 0)

And contrary to Cinedine's sneer each game has sold roughly 1 million copies of which half were sold outside Japan. (I don't so much love Google as find it essential). Okay, not GTA V, but still , hardly niche.

Just noticed this game is on xbox games pass, just downloading it now at 31 GB.

Never played these games so how easy is it to find these arcades machines in game ?

You know why I want to play old arcade games. Because im bored of modern games, bored of open worlds, bored of having to stock up in-game inventories, bored of playing the same type of games and so on.

Been gaming on my sega master system and megadrive and im having a ball at the minute. Just want to load up a game, sit on my settee and play some 2D side scrolling platform, beat'em up or old school racer from the 80s or 90s.

Just going though one of my phases I think.

Well they are easy enough to find. One in each district. You gotta get some highscores (and eventually make friends with the clerks) to unlock Phantasy Star and Super Hang On i think. There is quite alot of nippon stuff and minigames in the whole game too, claw machines, slot car racing, fishing, video baseball, bowling, mahjong parlors, alot of stuff to do.
It is generally a super awesome game, somewhat in the vein of shenmue...but much more over the top. A weird trip to Japan with a pedestrian open world. I think these are remasters of games which haven't been on PC outside of Japan. For me this game was filled with constant positive WTF moments. I really loved the writing and the atmossphere. So much attention to detail.

I will check the game out once downloaded

Basicly you play a friendly neighborhood yakuza :) And they got some very famous, gritty, japanese actors for the main roles. Language alert, the game is not dubbed but with subtitles. All the voice acting is japanese, for me this only increased the immersion tho.

I remember saying to myself and the guy that gifted that game: That is the best game I ever played! (and I played alot)
The sales buzz is not an exaggeration.

I'm the opposite - although my "current" is anyone who buys games when first on sale three years ago. I marginally prefer the newer games. The real Old Skool games, those that had arcade releases, were designed to be money sinks so they are exceptionally difficult and to win you have to learn the patterns. I prefer the more relaxed demands of many more modern games.

But it's variable. i really enjoyed re-playing Sid Meier's Pirates (the second version) a long, long time after I originally played it. I'd also love EA to relaunch Freedom Force. Anyone else remember those games ? The sequel had crisper controls but the story was far weaker and I had to lower the difficulty on the first game to make it playable. But as superhero games they were brilliant fun. The first edition included just about every element of old school superheroing and in a reversion from modern tastes I loved the bright colourful characters against the neurotic psychopaths of modern comics. I also love that each chapter had it's own Jack Kirby style cover.

S.x.

By relaunching freedom force I guess you mean remastering them? Wonder thos if that would be a big success now that licensed comic book adaptions are fairly saturated, the generic albeit charming characters probably wouldn't cut it :/
I still got FF vs the 3rd Reich boxed version. Indeed a charming franchise. Kind of the same vein like the No One Lives Forever games in art direction.

I think their biggest problem was that Marvel and DC noticed a marked similarity with some of their characters. Ant Man in Freedom Force has a virtually identical costume and powers to the Marvel character. They certainly harassed modders who created in game versions of Marvel characters.

Freedom Force was fun. You had a fair amount of freedom to build your team how you wanted. There was no licensing palaver whereby certain characters were only available on the Playstation. And the game was just fun. Most of the time it was really clear what to do and how to do it.

I think FF would appeal to gamers looking at a simpler but slightly tongue in cheek, campy, superhero game. More Adam West's Batman than Alan Moore's Watchmen.

I beg to differ. Those characters would actually resonate more nowadays because more people are familiar with the heroes they are caricaturing. . Remaster it with a more robust Hero and Scenario creator and you have something that will generate its own content for decades like SKyrim or Fallout.

[*P0P$*FR3$H3NM3Y3R*]

I would suggest Yakuza 0 again, but at 6K games you probably already have all the good games which are on STEAM ;D
Freedom Force remastered up there with Elder Scrolls and Fallout IP...now that's what I call optimistic.
