SEGA of America's "Controversial" Momocon Panel
« on: May 27, 2014, 02:24:31 pm »
So at Momocon 2014, Sega of America released a slide during their panel of "Questions they cannot answer" and it is causing a MASSIVE s**tstorm of NeoGaf and Twitter. Keep in mind, the whole slide is intended as a joke Sega made towards themselves for not being able to answer these questions.



So is this offensive to you or is it just a harmless joke? I personally see it as harmless and people are just shooting the messenger.

I think it's funny.

Luckily my most burning questions to SEGA are not on the list:
Will there be a Valkyria Chronicles 4? Will it be back on home consoles?
What about the remake of Skies of Arcadia you teased a few years back? Or even better: A sequel?

Oops.  Now I'm really glad I skipped Momocon in favor of lazing around at home.

Seriously, this is kicking the hornet's nest.  By making an actual slide, they created a visual artifact that will be passed around whenever the opportunity arises.  It will never go away.

A joke like this is best done before throwing an actual bone to the intended audience.

Sounds about right. Also, will Sonic 06 receive a fix patch?

:3
Suddenly, bow-wow-wow~. :3

I see this whole thing as Sega of America taking a jab at themselves for staying so quiet all the time. Not only about Phantasy Star Online 2's Western Release, but even Sonic Boom! Both them AND Nintendo haven't said a THING about the game ever since it was unveiled. Maybe we can get something at E3 for both games, hence the mentions.

Sounds about right. Also, will Sonic 06 receive a fix patch?

The only offensive thing on the list is that they felt the need to shoot down PSO2 questions not once, but twice. Those are legit questions. You can't tell us it's coming and then tell us you can't tell us when it's coming.
