-Sega GT Online (XBX) Wow Entertainment
-Sonic Battle (GBA) Sonic Team
-Sonic Heroes (PS2/GCN/XBX) Sonic Team
-Unannounced new title (GCN) tba

System totals
-PS2:11 (8 exclusive)
-GCN:8 (5 exclusive)
-GBA:3 (3 exclusive)
-XBX:3 (1 exclisive)
-PC:1 (1 exclusive)
-DC:1 (0 exclusive)

'unannounced' actually means shown, so it could be anything from Virtua Fighter Quest, Skies of Arcadia II, or something completely else. Hopefully the Sega XBox games do well and Sega pumps more originals into the system, they have made their best games there after the fall of DC, imo. Sega GT Online should, by all means, sell well. 20 bucks, 40 new cars, a dozen (I think) new tracks, random rea time weather generation, 12 player online (more than any current or announced racing games), and custom soudntracks, among other things.

Regardless, there are alot of real quality titles there for any system.

Where are the SEGA action games on XBox??
Sonic Heroes will be awesome, sure, but I would kill to see Altered Beast, GunGrave OD and Kunoichi ported to and running on XBox. Oh, and Sakura Taisen 5 Action wouldn't hurt either. How can they complain their games don't sell on XBox when they don't give us the goods??

P.S. Looks like Vectorman has disappeared off the face of the Earth, huh?? Good riddance. That game looked awful.

5 exclusive GC games and only 1 exclusive Xbox game? Cool.

The Game Cube Nintendo is getting Sega lovin'.

I gotta get Puyo Puyo Fever. If it is Online then I will get the Xbox version and if it is not I will get the Gamecube version.

[Neo-Sega]

Well, to be fair, Sega needs XBox games centric to the XBox audience. Shooting, sports (which sell), action, etc.

There will be more Sega exclsuives in the future. Outrun 2 is running on Chihiro, as is Virtua Cop III they both should appear on XBox.

Regardless, great titles all the way around.

[BriannaHaskins]

Yeah, but where are they?? Why haven't Virtua Cop 3 and Out Run 2 been announced for XBox?? And would it kill them to port over and give simultaneous releases for Altered Beast, Kunoichi and Gungrave OD?? If they can do it with Sonic Heroes, why not these potentially cool action games?? I'm sure Kunoichi will appeal to the Ninja Gaiden crowd and Gungrave OD will likely do good with gamers who bought XBox hits like Max Payne and Dead to Rights. The market is there, they just need to make them available to us.

[Neo-Sega]

Sonic Heroes is being made with Renderware, THE resource for making cross-platform games. Sega is and always has been platform agnostic, they don't port if ti will detract from the games quality or anything. In fact, besides DC to --> XBox, PS2, GC ports, there haven't been any cross platform non-Sega games have been made.

[BriannaHaskins]

I don't see why there shouldn't be. If they can do it with Sonic Heroes, they can do it with those games I mentioned.

[Neo-Sega]

Well, the renderware platform is kind of limited. For instance, instead of Panzer Dragoon Orta, we would've seen a game look more like Drakan 2 or something. I'll take the games that are designed for their platform,they turn out best that way.

[BriannaHaskins]

If I can play it on XBox, I'd much rather take the multi-platform game. Surely it'll look smoother than the PS2 version.

[Neo-Sega]

hehe, well, I own all three, so it doesn't matter where it goes to me, I want the best version of any game.

The fact is, Sega doesn't see value in porting, or cross development for right now. It makes sense for some games (VF4, for instance), but not really for others (PDO would've lost ALOT on ports to other systems)

[George]

They need to do VF4 from the ground up on the Xbox.

Forget about porting anything. Porting will hurt the SEGA game quality we all know and love.

[Archangel]

Y'know, if the Xbox isn't gonna get VF4, we should at least get the story behind it. Everyone seemed to know it was Xbox-bound; it was just a matter of *when*. Did sony simply pony up enough cash? And if so, how much did it take? Why didn't MS top it? I don't know if a single game could jump-start the Xbox in Japan, but that would be the one.

I got news for you, Joker. SEGA's quality in graphics, gameplay and design has been down ever since they went multi-console. Also, eventhough many of their games on PS2 show great potential, the end results (for some reason) feel kind of shoddy. Hell, even Crazy Taxi 3 on XBox felt uninspiring.

I agree with you on the VF4 thing, and Archangel brings an interesting question. What DID happen to VF4 on XBox?? I remember Robbie Bach (or someone in MS) hinted it would be coming eventually...but when?? If MS would've secured the exclusive rights to Virtua Fighter 4, who knows?? Maybe XBox would be better off in Japan right now.
