Between Atlus and SEGA’s choices, the Home of ‘Hog was shining brighter than ever at Tokyo Recreation Present this 12 months. With Sonic Superstars, a pair of Like A Dragon video games, some Persona titles, Vanillaware’s newest, and Soccer Supervisor 2024 amongst different video games on show, there have been fixed crowds round SEGA’s sales space space. Throw in titles from its native companions together with EA Sports activities FC 24, Sizzling Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged, and Payday3 across the again of the realm and also you’ve obtained a veritable treasure trove of video games to see. I checked out just a few issues there, so let’s focus on them.
To start with, let’s get it out of the way in which: SEGA didn’t have a whole lot of cell video games to indicate this 12 months, and Atlus had none. SEGA’s at all times been a bit hot-and-cold on cell, and most of its choices within the space have a tendency to come back from the Western facet today. Atlus hasn’t ever put a whole lot of constant effort into that space, principally relegated to some ports and a free-to-play gatcha sport or two. So it’s with little shock then that I need to inform you, pricey reader, that SEGA’s solely cell sport on the present was Soccer Supervisor 2024, which will likely be coming to Netflix’s subscription service alongside a wide range of different platforms. I’m certain it is going to be nearly as good as ever, no less than.
I used to be at SEGA’s sales space for barely extra egocentric causes, nonetheless. I needed to check out Sonic Superstars, the upcoming 2.5D Sonic sport being made beneath the path of one in all Sonic’s unique creators, Naoto Ohshima. It’s coming to just about each platform besides cell, which I believe is unlucky but additionally a bit comprehensible. Perhaps some day. Anyway, I needed to put my very own palms on the sport and see the way it performed. I like Ohshima and his workforce at Arzest for his or her creativity, however generally you get a Balan Wonderworld from them. Nicely, I’m glad to say that the sport no less than feels good to play. The physics are the place they need to be, and what I obtained to play didn’t let me down in any main approach so far as stage design goes. I’m nonetheless not satisfied that multiplayer goes to be something apart from complete chaos, and all of it comes down as to whether it’s the nice sort of chaos or the dangerous sort.
The Like A Dragon video games additionally caught my eye, however they aren’t on any platforms I cowl right here on the web site so I actually couldn’t justify ready within the line-up to play them. I’m certain our pal Mikhail will regale you about them after they arrive on Steam, supplied they work properly with the Steam Deck anyway. Over on the Atlus facet, I actually just like the look of Persona 5 Tactica and certain do want that Persona 3 Reload was hitting the Change. Unicorn Overlord tricked me into considering it was an Ogre Battle sport and I’ll by no means forgive it for that, however there’s no motive to consider it received’t reside as much as the standard Vanillaware stage of high quality.
So sure, for cell gamers in search of something cool at Tokyo Recreation Present from SEGA and Atlus, it looks like we had been principally forgotten. Nevertheless it’s exhausting to get too upset when SEGA appears to be doing so effectively for itself in the intervening time. With loads of nice video games arising, SEGA followers can have quite a bit to take pleasure in supplied they’ve extra than simply cell gadgets to play on. For many who don’t? Nicely, managing a soccer workforce is fairly enjoyable if nothing else.
