This is from some a French site and from what I hear it is a huge rumor, but check it out. New handheld. No way, are they that dumb?
i'm guessing it's just a rumor. but hell, i could be wrong.
This isn't a rumor, this is a flat-out, bona fide, already-confirmed April Fool's joke. From several weeks ago, even (although April Fool's was several weeks ago, so this isn't saying a whole lot).
Yeah.
Man I feel dumb. >_<
Well,Well anotner SEGA bashing news story.
SEGA is already making hardware again. Even heard of Lindbergh?
An moron can easily tell that this is a sick joke, SEGA is not making any type of handheld console anytime soon,though there is a slight possiblity of them turning Lindbergh into a 256-bit home console. Do even try to tell me that SEGA is never coming back, because I've aready heard that enough.
SEGA could be returning to consoles soon, but for them to return to handheld would be a bad decision,SEGA already knows about Nintendo's everlasting success as a handheld maker and that Sony's PSP is fairing well.
If SEGA were to start maknig consoles again, it could very well be a home console, in term of arcade hardware and home consoles SEGA's always had a strong point in pioneering console technology, they though of online gaming first!
Man I do hate these SEGA bashing jokes,though because they are misleading and hurtful to Sega fans.

Wait.

Ridiculous enough, but this part really gets me.
Quote:
256-bit home console
LMAO! They barely make 128-bit anything, Pat, and 64-bit's only just beginning to get big in PCs, which tend to have new technology WAY before any console does. What in God's name makes you think that ANY console is going to have a 256-bit register any time soon?
Uhh, Shadow Hog you didn't look at the Lindbergh specs. from the other topic.
It has a "256-bit" GB memory graphics and a 800mhz clock speed with intel pentium 4 3.0 GHT processor that matches the power of the latest PCs, it also has Dual 2X 512 MB memory RAM which is 3X more powerful than PS3's CPU.
Yeah, that's the VIDEO CARD. Consoles, if measured in bittage, are measured by the register size of the PROCESSOR. And, seeing as it's a Pentium 4, it's only going to be 32- or 64-bit, at best.
Plus, I'd like to take a moment to note how ridiculous it is to say that a very standard amount of RAM is more powerful than a processor. This is like saying that the apple is more powerful than the orange.
SH, He's Pat. We can't expect him to even begin to make sense.

Care to elaborate on how, exactly, this joke is insulting SEGA at all?
It's just a fake picture of a handheld posted on April Fool's day as a joke.

QOTW!
It has a "256-bit" GB memory graphics
After careful dissection of this twisted massacre of the English language, I think he's trying to say that the GDDR3 RAM that's on the videocard has a 256-bit bus. Which means precisely piss effing all.
and a 800mhz clock speed with intel pentium 4 3.0 GHT processor
Uh-oh! It seems in your anger you managed to mix up GHz (gigahertz, a measure of frequency in billions of cycles per second) with HT (hyperthreading, an obsolete technology Intel was using prior to inventing dual-core chips).
that matches the power of the latest PCs
Uh, no.
Dual 2X 512 MB memory RAM
Ladies and gentlemen, I present the most redundant phrase in the history of the English language.
which is 3X more powerful than PS3's CPU.
LOL
Honestly, though, it looks like he just got so pissed off that he started randomly typing technical-sounding words and phrases, both fake and real, including such gems as "memory", "GHT", "dual 2x 512 MB memory RAM", "bit" and "clock speed". I mean, how else can you explain "256-bit GB memory graphics"?
XD! @ Cyke. You know i'd love Sega to return, but I honestly feel it would hurt them more than help them. Unless Microsoft or Ninty falls out, Sega should back off.
I do think it would help SEGA a whole lot for them to return, The time right now is right with Sony having problems getting PS3 out of the door because of high development costs and with game sales continuing to decline.
Besides just because the Lindbergh's technology is based off of PC hardware doesn't mean it's made of out it.
Either way the graphics are excellent and nearly life-like (That VF5 pic of Akira looks awesome and almost real!)
I really pray that SEGA does make a comback at E3 this year since they didn't appear at GDC
If I were a console gamer, I'd pay 700 for a PS3. You really wanna know what a PC with the equipment in a PS3 would cost?
It's rather simple really. People that want decent games at low cost will buy the Revolution. People that want games that rival a PC's in eye candy will shell the big bucks out for the PS3.
Basically it seems the console market is at an impass. The new technology is too pricey to be able to sell at the usually 200 to 250 dollar range consoles have been selling at. So its either appeal to price or try to compete against the several thousand dollar gaming rig's that can double as homework machines, triple as music storage, and quadruple as something to surf the web on/chat/im/etc.
I dug around for a video rather a still. The new video's of VF5 are pretty nice. Almost to the level of Oblivion. Whatever console is going to run that, I hate to see the price tag.

Yuo have a point.
Just so you know SEGA will not be bringing any Lindbergh arcade ports to Xbox 360/PS3 according to AM2 designer and SEGA Of Japan PR marketer Hiroshi Kataoka in the April 2006 issue of EGM.

It doesn't necessarily mean that, but this is EXACTLY the case with the Lindbergh; It's made out of off-the-shelf PC parts, or at least exactly equivalent parts.

So...?
wait, isn't there already LITERALLY 3 topics devoted to Pat's rants about the lindbergh?
seriously, it was an april fools joke we laughed, topic over.
hypershadow77 is right. Mods, work your magic, please.
Yes there is. I've been over here beating on a sega logo with a rubber mallet for like ten minutes.
I'm not inclined to close this. We have like fifty topics in marble all ranting on the same crap and they're all still open.
~Rico
look at the links i put up!
Pat rants about Lindbergh, we make fun of him. that's all there is to the topics. so you really should just close this topic.
From what I see he stopped about a dozen posts ago. Back to topic, whatever that was originally.
~Rico
The topic was that someone or other mistook an April Fool's joke for a real news article, so regardless of Pat's insane rantings this needs a lock.

Wait did you just call me someone or other?

That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said about me. =P
I don't care if it is a hoax, I just love the translations =P

Yes, Virtua Tennis 3, a Lindbergh title (note the logo), coming to Xbox 360 and PS3.
Fail.
IT'S A HOAX!!!1one! @ SH
Back on topic: Heh heh, sillyz peoplez and their sillyz April Foolz jokes. And the sillyz peoplez whoz believe them. And the French. Gotta love them.
X3
Oh, but look it's not listed as a Revolution title! Besides Vitrua Tennis 3 more than likely was developed a few years ago on Naomi 2 and probably ported to Lindbergh.

Clearly, this means that Sega is planning to re-enter the console market.
yes, because we ALL know how successful the saturn and dreamcast were!

That's what was I going to point out but you guys beat meto it. =)
Yeah, if Sega was really planning on re-entering the console market then why would the announce games for their "competition"?
Sega console dream am dead!
Also like I said in another topic, it would be quite silly to not assume that Sega will not make a game for the Rev since historically, they released a game for all of the game machines that have been released worldwide. I mean this is the smae company that released games for Ngage and Gizmondo for Christsakes!

To confuse and baffle both Sega's competeters and its loyal fans...

Now that someone has mentioned the Gizmondo, I've been dying to post this:
MY MIND @ Picture.
Just wow.
Cycle Wins. Flawless Victory.
What was this topic about again?

Maybe, but this is.
Fail. Again.

Don't try to weasel your way out of this. You were wrong, plain and simple. It's Lindbergh, on the 360 and PS3 - exactly what you said WOULDN'T happen. Even if it WAS Naomi 2 (which sounds like utter BS to me), it doesn't change that fact.
Score 1 for the good guys! X3 @ SH
I want to see Pat weasel his way out of this one...
Awesome find btw ShadowHog...
*laughs at the pic Cycle posted*
*pops popcorn and waits for Pat to spin SH reports*
SH you're awesome.
We're doing our best to make Pat snap and get put in a padded cell for the rest of his life 8D
looks kinda stupid if u ask me
Thank you for that useful and constructive comment Abac, it made it completely clear that you totally made the effort to read more than the first post to reply.
