INTERVIEW: Shusei of Aletheia Games
by Pawl Schwartz
The dream: To once again play Sega games on Sega hardware. I have, for years, still held out hope that Sega will return to its former 90s glory and be no longer on the sidelines of gaming by soldiering on as a third party developer for other company’s hardware.
One man going by the name Shusei shares this dream, and he has gotten fed up with waiting. Shusei and his team Aletheia Games are creating a new console called “Razor,” planned to span multiple console generations with the highest of high-spec hardware; all so that they can hand the Razor over to Sega and let them run with it as their new console.
Will it work? There have been some similar attempts at a Sega hardware revival in the past such as Project Dream, which fell apart due to infighting as you can read in the link. The Razor and Shusei are taking a different approach and going grassroots, encouraging fans to bring the Razor to Sega’s attention while it is in development, and hoping that Sega is smart enough to bite and invite the Razor and possibly i’s dev team to be an official Sega product.
Can Shusei make Sega great again? Details are a little scarce at this stage, so I contacted Shusei to find out more. Read on, reader…
