Skies of Arcadia

Aaron Webber, the Associate Brand Manager for Sega of America, made a rather interesting comment about Skies of Arcadia possibly being ported over to the Playstation 3.

K-Tuck of Spawn Kill takes us on a journey into Dreamcast and Gamecube history with a revisit of niche classic Skies of Arcadia Legends. Walk with him down memory lane in another segment of "Do You Remember?"

It's been a while since the Sega's console the Dreamcast was put out of business, but this doesn't mean it didn't have any classic games that will always remembered. From commanding toys in Toy Commander to avenging your fathers death in Shenmue.

The console had one of the greatest game line ups ever before the Playstation 2 came and well pretty much basically crushed the party.

Anyone who doesn't know why Sega stopped supporting the Dreamcast is mostly because of piracy. With such a ...

In case you don't know what I mean by the title - No matter how classic and influential certain characters or games are, you will always find that one guy (especially on the internet) who has the gall to criticize Halo, Metal Gear Solid, and Grand Theft Auto.

As before, German fansite SEGA ON seems to have been given a tidbit of information from a source at SEGA regarding a sequel to Skies of Arcadia. Word has it it will be confirmed in the relatively near future, as early as the Tokyo Game Show (October 9-12).

I'm assuming the latest EGM is going to be rolling out soon, and thus, we get some more Quartermann rumors, and these are pretty good. They've been on a roll recently.

The rumors start off with what we would expect: God of War 3 and Gears of War 2.

However, the zinger is that there's the possibility of a Skies of Arcadia 2.

Good God, I hope that comes true.
