SEGA's next console: Catalyst - will use Nvidia GPU
http://tinyurl.com/2mst4f
Sega Are Back, Baby By: Arran Walker 01/04/2007 12:03 am One of the biggest players in 3rd party software and publishing, Sega Corp. today revealed details of their plan to reenter the videogame console hardware business which they dropped over 6 years ago. Sega have said that due to recent financial stability found in the dropping of hardware and moving exclusively toward the software side of gaming, they have reached a point where they are solid enough to give it "one last go". Details are obviously scarce this early in the game, but we can tell you that the console has been officially dubbed "Catalyst", which we assume is what they hope the console to be in this risky venture. Sega have even shown what will be the official logo for the console, but unfortunately nothing more could be pried. "We're extremely excited to be reentering the hardware business", said Simon Jeffery, President of Sega of America. "We know our fans have missed playing their favorite Sega franchises on a Sega made console, so it's very exciting to be able to bring that feeling back to them." As far as system specifications go, little is known in what to expect, but Sega have said that the console will in fact feature an HD-DVD drive, and an NVIDIA graphics processing unit. "I'm very pleased to be working with Sega on their new Catalyst video game system" explains Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO and president of NVIDIA Corp. "We've worked well with them in the past on their arcade hardware, and this will only aid in further strengthening our relationship. We're very happy Sega decided to reenter the hardware business and bring us along in what we know will be a great success." Production schedule's for current announced and due to be announced games will remain in tact. Also support for Virtual Console, Playstation Network and Xbox Live Arcade games will continue in hopes that it will drive the Sega brand into a new generation of gamers. As far as what we can expect to play on the new console, Sega have been very tight lipped, but we have been told to expect versions of Virtua Fighter, Sega Rally and a new Sonic The Hedgehog game. Simon also gave us this very tasty tease, "...[Don't] be at all surprised to see a few "cult" classics in the launch lineup, we've been listening to the fans, we know they want the classics. I can't say much, but you won't be wondering where the kidd inside you has gone for much longer." |

That would make a TON of sense, as Sony's management had remarkably resembled the management of Sega in the final days of its console making. - The Rich |

Why not? Master Chief of Halo did appear in one of the Soul Calibur games I
believe (or was it one of the Tekken sequels?). -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

And it wasn't the Master Chief, but a female SPARTAN named Nicole, created specifically for the game as an unlockable. -- Glenn Shaw • Indianapolis, IN USA To reply by e-mail, swap the net and cast |
