Sega as a whole has a very important role within the video game community. While they don’t make consoles anymore, they are very much invested in making games for players to like. And as such, they’ve embarked on a plan that they call “SuperGame”, but what that meant was up in the air until very recently.
In an interview on Sega Japan’s recruitment website, executive VP Shuji Utsumi explains: “Sega offers a wide range of game content, including hardware and arcade content, which is made possible by its diverse range of technologies. We have defined ‘SuperGame’ as the development of AAA titles that cross over SEGA’s comprehensive range of technologies, and we will aim to achieve this in our five-year plan.”
Explaining further, Utsumi said: “Several titles are being developed within the framework of SuperGame, and while each title will vary, there is no doubt that they will be interactive titles that go beyond the traditional framework of games.
“For example, in the past, people who played games were called gamers, but now watching games has become a culture in itself, and such people could no longer be called gamers. I think there is great potential in the relationship between people who play and watch games. We are thinking of creating new entertainment within these possibilities.”
Oh, and for those of you who fear that NFTs may be a part of the plan…they might be:
“It is a natural extension for the future of gaming that it will expand to involve new areas such as cloud gaming and NFT. We are also developing SuperGame from the perspective of how far different games can be connected to each other.”
That certainly sounds interesting, but where it actually goes is anyone’s guess. Hopefully things will be more clear once they actually roll out.
