TSR's hero is retiring. Of course his reaction is over the top, but I'm far more surprised at just how much negativity the "saddest day of my life" statement is generating.
The voting process was screwy. For each category (divided by console/genre), you could vote out of three choices. People didn't vote for Star Fox Assault in its own right, they voted for it over the other games it was up against.
SEGA did make Valkyria Chronicles recently. That's pretty much the extent of their recent high quality work, though.
And then they made part 2 and 3 for the PSP and the United States isn't even getting part 3. So they pretty much demonstrated the ability to make shit-awful decisions.

That's actually a sound financial decision, considering the PSP is wildly successful in Japan.
Sega of America are no strangers to stupid decisions. Still waiting on Initial D to be localized.

I haven't had the luxury of playing VC2 but I'm willing to bet a lot of the elements that made the first one incredible are missing or got cut down / are shells of their former selves.
Considering one of the promotion artworks was bunny-girl Selvaria, I'm having a hard time believing I'm wrong.

Also fuck the haters, TSR can appreciate whoever the hell he likes. We all have our heroes in the industry.
One of your parents needs to die or something. I can't believe this is the saddest day of your life.
That's a pretty fucked up thing to say. If this truly is the saddest thing for him then I'm glad he's lived such a happy and naive life thus far, and I wouldn't wish something as awful as his one of his parents dying on him.

Fucked up? Yes, but it reminds me of why I like to frequent this forum so much.
On topic though, if the guy got his own studio then I don't see the loss. Obviously Sega isn't able to provide an environment for his ideas to flourish anyway.

I'm also sad about this. I hope he can continue to make games.
And I think Sega has recently had lots of hits. The Yakuza games and the recent Sonics have been some of my favorites. VC looks great. Their relationship with Platinum seems to be going well.

Well said.
They made one of those games.

So fuck Sega, basically
Yu Suzuki hasn't made anything good in the last decade, either
Shenmue 3 was never ever going to happen and he had nothing else left

There still are the AM R&D teams out there, but what they're working on god only knows.
Then there is the NE teams which Yu directed, last game they made was in 2009 or so.
Global Entertainment R+D consist of UGA and Sonic Team, also one other group. They're still active and around.
These are probably the last of the in-house teams, but yeah I don't know too many publishers that don't have aquired groups/offsets.

Namely, that Halo 2 goes in, as opposed to, well, any other Halo game. Mildly odd, all I'm saying.
The leaving Sega thing could be good, bad, or indifferent depending on where he goes. Can't know from here.
Why I fear the ocean.

But I guess Sammy isn't really doing a great job of managing the merged companies anyway.
No this is like if Nintendo let Miyamoto walk out the door ten years after he had produced anything relevant

Yeah, this is more like if George Broussard walked out the door at 3D Realms.

More like if he walked after they cancelled everything he tried to do for ten straight years.
I always preferred Sega Rally, never could get the hang of Daytona.

You people sometimes. Everything has to be compared and measured against some sort of absolute scale? piss to that.
