When people think Sega, they just think Sonic as it's one-trick pony in franchises. Granted Sega are known for other modern franchises but they never really do much with their classic franchises that really stand out. For example when Sega brought rights to Total War series or made the Football Manager series in 2005, people were like "OK, whatever" and these franchises were mostly interesting to a specific audience. But when NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams was released, Sega fans went nuts over it and lots of discussion over the internet about it. And now Shenmue III is being developed out of Sega's hands but still fastest crowed funded game in Kickstarter history (Even if it didn't quite reach $10mil.)

It's why in this thread I made I suggested what they could do with old franchises given Sega has all these good franchises that are full of potential for the modern audience, but don't really touch.

Another example can be imagining Resident Evil 7 and as the latest "House of the Dead" game simply by replacing all Umbrella Corp. related stuff with DBR Corp.

The only classic franchise I'm aware of that Sega keeps going today is the Puyo-Puyo series. And honestly I enjoyed Columns more than Puyo. Wow! You know a lot about Sega!! You just sparked my interest in finding out more about other stuff Sega did! That's a lot of info Yeah, I am a huge Sonic fan, like I'm 29 years old and I remember playing Sonic 1 for the Mega Drive not long when came out and here I am today proud to be an admin here for SNN.

But when it comes to Sega, well I see them as the underdogs and they have my support as a Sonic fan, but even since the end of the Dreamcast they haven't been doing much with the pile of franchises they're sitting on, and what some may seem as outdated Sega games, I see a wealth of potential in them.

I guess it stems from my desire to make games someday... Again I'm 29 and never achieved that lifelong dream yet of making games. I would love to work for Sega someday or start my own game company if I could. That's so amazing! And even if you haven't achieved your dream yet, you may later on! Who knows, you could end up starting a world famous game company someday! Seeing how devoted you are here I don't have a hard time seeing you accomplishing that! I would like that. To be a pioneer in todays gaming industry. I don't think I'd ever be able to make games, but I like thinking up stories and characters. So do I for games. Not only for old franchises but for my own original games I'd like to make someday. Far away lands, deep stories, I can imagine it all in my head right down to the polygons.

Heck I had ideas for a Zelda fan game long before BotW with the idea of Zelda II map remade all open-world like. But it was just ideas before BotW was made. Awesome!! I've always loved fantasy and adventure! Sonic was what got me into adventure, and Sonic (along with some influence from The Chronicles of Narnia) is what got me interested in fantasy! It was SOnic that got me into the idea of making games. Especially making Sonic fan games as tribute to show how much I appreciate Sonic.
