9 dic 2015 — Hi all, it wasn't long since my last update but I thought I would keep you all informed.
I have been contacted by an interested party, namely a company that builds mini Pc's, Android gaming tablets and consoles and other gizmos and gadgets.
This company cannot be named at this stage but they are very innovative and have crazy coders and designers that are capable of anything tech related ranging from software development, right up to hardware development.
The best thing is, they WANT to take the project on should it get the green light from Sega.
We need your help. We need signatures, we need you to spread the word, drop some comments, get it trending out there.
We are now in the stages where we are going to begin drafting plans and ideas for the official proposal to Sega.
Resumiendo una empresa fabricante de hardware android se intereso en la petición y buscaban la aprobación de sega para sacar el proyecto adelante.
Tambien se comenta que puede que la misma Sega piense en introducirse en el mercado de hardware de nuevo

When I woke up this morning, I got blown away by the fact that our Dreamcast 2 article had become a huge hit (it was the first thing that I saw when I checked my phone), and the SEGA community seems to be really excited and thrilled about “Project Dream” (and so am I). And it´s just about to get even better, because Patrick Lawsen shared quite a lot of information about the “Dream” project with us late last night. So I collected Lawsen´s comments and arranged them in chronological order for you guys down below:
“I’m truly excited about the Crowdfunded prospect for SEGA RingEdge Zero/RingWide Elite. There’s virtually no competition in the PC rig business and most PC gamers are left having to spend heavy budgets on building the perfect rig as Alienware is both expensive and just doesn’t offer Quality for its less expensive rigs. The design and spec build we’ve chosen has Intel Core i5 Haswell, the most popular and strongest quality performing CPU among PC gaming enthusiasts.
“Quality” and “Quality Control” is something missing in-game hardware brands now in days. And is something SEGA had with all of its consoles.
If we can get just a million backers worldwide, our upcoming KS could be funded in record time and with SEGA licensing it could have it out on the market in less than a year!
Genesis Neo/Dreamcast Evolution I’m even MORE hyped for. This is the chance for SEGA to do something really innovative,cutting edge and NEW. This was SEGA back in the day, pioneering and always trying something completely new and original! Ahead of their time!”
“Part of our goal is for SEGA to price either product for an affordable,cheap price. Part of the magic about SEGA is that being primarily and Arcade Amusement company, they have the resources and ability to sell a Home Consumer Product at far better price points than Sony,Nintendo and Microsoft because they never built consoles from scratch and instead use Arcade Machine parts and accessories.
All SEGA consoles were/are based off Arcade hardware and all except Dreamcast were sold at profit including Sega Saturn. The reason why DC was sold at a loss was because it was priced $50 too cheap. Its original price was supposed to be $250(because its BOM price was $175) and SEGA did not have enough supply for its NAOMI Arcade counterpart for mass production due to the fact that its SH-4 Katana motherboard was mainly used in Hybrid Cars.
SEGA can also do what not even PlayStation can: They have the technology to sell developers SDKs at cheaper prices and can cut budget and development costs on console games.”
“Miku,Yakuza,Aliens,Hero Bank,Samurai and Dragons,Crazy Taxi,Ecco The Dolphin,Virtua Cop,Virtua Fighter,Border Break,Bayonetta,Shinobi,Total War, Company of Heroes,Phantasy Star,Skies of Arcadia,End of Eternity,Sands of Destruction,Valkyria,Shining Force,Billy Hatcher,Nights,Panzer Dragoon,Fighting Vipers,NY Gunblade,L.A. Machineguns,Operation GHOSTS,Dream Raiders,Let’s Go Island, SEGA Bass,SEGA Rally,Daytona USA,Under Night in Birth,Demon Tribe, Shenmue, Code of Joker. SEGA has far more viable and superior 1st party IPs then Sony that would be able to sell at a more diverse base of consumers: Particularly Casuals,PC games and Veteran gamers. People who don’t own PS4 or care for it.”
“Sega’s current Arcade boards are RINGEDGE 2 and Nu from 2012-2013. SEGA should be unveiling some new Arcade hardware at AOU in February. We have SOJ interns involved. They will present the ideas to SEGA of Japan next Quarter. SEGA will revive its old IPs.”
“Yuji Naka himself just accepted FB request. We have asked Joanne to translate in Japanese for us. If Naka gets involved, it’s going to make headlines and catch SEGA Holdings attention.” – Patrick Lawsen
In other words, it seems like the “Dream Project” is taking off big time, and “if” Yuji Naka (game designer, producer, programmer and the former head of Sonic Team) gets involved in the project. Then this is going to be on the headlines all over the world for sure (don´t forget who it was that dropped the news first). Sure, I know that one shouldn´t day dream too much (or get to hyped up). Nevertheless, just the thought of a new SEGA console makes my heart speed like crazy. So I´m going to watch the “Dream Project” like a hungry vulture from now on.
