Go time mother humpers!
Hey! I'm just wondering if anyone has heard about this? They're two new hardware boards being made by SEGASammy but along with that there are some new patents by Sega such as hardware specs. and controller designs.

http://dreamcast-talk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1185

Lots of info on that site with the links to lots of those patents.

If it's true that Sega wants to make this a console I'll buy one soon as it comes out. :D
 
This is pretty cool.. very interesting.

I really do not see Sega making a console again. However, I could be VERY wrong. It would be cool to see Sega back in the race... but I think it would be hard with an already over crowded market.

Well what really keeps me hoping is the quote from the Japanese Sega site "Technology to provide network services for the Sega video game console. " :D

Click to expand...

Maybe they are thinking of bringing back the original dreamcast :D

In all seriousness... Mega might be right.

HOWEVER... it would be cool to see a new system from Sega. I still think it would be dead in the water before the system launched.

Haha, I wouldn't mind the Dreamcast coming back :p

This probably stuck out most to me
" "that "Ring" is meant to suggest a ring that connects users, operators and makers along with, via the internet, the rest of the world. Edge refers to cutting edge. Wide refers to a wide range, in the sense that Sega hopes the board will, through wide use by third parties, help expand the amusement industry." Which means that SEGA may be desinging a development kit for other software companies which sheds even more light on a strong possiblity of them turning the RingEdge into a home console. SEGA also says that this new hardware is both incredibly simple to program and cuts production costs down 30%. Which means SEGA could be designing a development kit that may make it easier for developers to make games for and drop the rising development costs on games which could make the new machine quite competitive allowing the price of games for it to be $40 and $50 instead of $60 and $70."

I hope that's what Sega's planning :)
