So basically a Sega-fied Player Two Start?I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in helping in a Pop Culture TL where Sega doesn't make the blunders of OTL and continues with their consoles to the present day, replacing Microsoft in the Console market and relegating Nintendo to 3rd Place, and so Sega (and thus Sonic) is a lot more culturally relevant today than he was iotl. Other events I have planned is a certain popular Mangaka making a Sonic Manga, A Microsoft-Sega exclusivity deal where Microsoft has exclusive rights for PC ports of Sega games and Sega has exclusive rights for Console ports of Microsoft games, Taylor Swift never leaving Country and fading into relative obscurity, Kanye West dying in a plane crash in 2011, Kurt Cobain never committing suicide, RD Jr is never cast for Tony Stark and Iron Man 2008 flops, killing the MCU in its cradle and preventing the Cinematic Universe and Superhero craze for at least another few years, the Star Wars Prequels having a different writer that leads to them being better received than in otl, etc, etc. Anyone interested in helping?
Sure I'm willing to went a hand if you want.I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in helping in a Pop Culture TL where Sega doesn't make the blunders of OTL and continues with their consoles to the present day, replacing Microsoft in the Console market and relegating Nintendo to 3rd Place, and so Sega (and thus Sonic) is a lot more culturally relevant today than he was iotl.

Not sure about the rest, but I'd love to offer ideas for a Sega-centric project.I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in helping in a Pop Culture TL where Sega doesn't make the blunders of OTL and continues with their consoles to the present day, replacing Microsoft in the Console market and relegating Nintendo to 3rd Place, and so Sega (and thus Sonic) is a lot more culturally relevant today than he was iotl.

Agreed.Not sure about the rest
I never understood the dislike some people have for the Star Wars prequel trilogy.
They're bad, poorly written movies. One can be nostalgic for them but they're just bad movies

well, putting into context that, for all intents and purposes, Nintendo IS the 3rd place in the Console Wars compared to the Titans of Microsoft and Sony. After the failure of the GameCube, Nintendo hasn't been able to be as victorious and have to come out on top as the other two companies have. I am considering having the Sega-Sony partnership happen (as it almost did otl, until SoJ, jealous of SoA's success, made the process difficult for everyone). Later, the Microsoft exclusivity deal happens after Nintendo takes up Bandai while a South Korean company emerges to compete with Sega-Sony and Nintendo-Bandai in the 2000s and beyond.…OK, putting Sega on more of a level playing field with Nintendo is one thing, but completely wanking Sega to make them OP?

Yeah, so no Meta Era and stuff like the Sonic 06 debacle don't happen (especially with the fact of Elise, a human, kissing Sonic, a Hedgehog, which I don't want to think the implications of) and Shadow the Hedgehog is more fleshed out and comes out as a polished and better idea than what came out otl, so expect an emotionally complex, more three-dimensional characterization of Sonic ITTL's games that don't go overboard or melodramatic while still keeping him and the gang marketable.I agree that this would be neat/nice to see. Some of the low points in his series's history haven't really done Sonic justice. It's also sad to see a company decline so much.
I've never been a personal fan of Superheroes (outside of Spiderman and Superman for obvious reasons) myself and view them as fodder to light on fire but I can at least value their cultural legacy and impact they have. However, the cultural impact of an MCU that is killed in its cradle will be absolutely massive in today's culture. The MCU, and to a lesser extent the SW Sequels, led to Disney becoming even more of a juggernaut than it was before them. Without them, Disney might go through a new dark era much sooner.…Why. Just…why?! What do you have against the earlier MCU?
I personally love them unironically even if TPM and AotC aren't the best they can be (though RotS is on par with ANH, and above RotJ, imo). Them being better written helps the George keep a hold on LucasFilms and so we might get new Indiana Jones and SW movies that follows what George wants and not what Disney wants.…I never understood the dislike some people have for the Star Wars prequel trilogy.
Also, I left this one intentionally vague so that people who aren't helping me with the TL will have some kind of interest in who I am referring to (it is made clear in the first post within the very first couple of sentences though).This could prove interesting. You intentionally haven't given us enough context to guess which manga artist you mean, though.
I'd down for a SEGA-themed Timeline, I want to suggest some ideas for you @TheDoofusUser.I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in helping in a Pop Culture TL where Sega doesn't make the blunders of OTL and continues with their consoles to the present day, replacing Microsoft in the Console market and relegating Nintendo to 3rd Place, and so Sega (and thus Sonic) is a lot more culturally relevant today than he was iotl.

I - like others - love Revenge of the Sith, but I think one of the reasons why it didn’t really gain that appreciation until fairly recently was because The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones had already spoiled opinions on the Prequel Trilogy with how divisive they were.They aren't, just an internet mantra
Herd mentality
TPM have the thing that feels so disconnected, that you can remove it from the trilogy and nothing is lost, AOTC have the issue that both Obi-Wan and Anakin plots feels badly stitched together. I would just change TPM, both TPM and AOTC can merge together and made an stronger movieI - like others - love Revenge of the Sith, but I think one of the reasons why it didn’t really gain that appreciation until fairly recently was because The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones had already spoiled opinions on the Prequel Trilogy with how divisive they were.

As for you @TheDoofusUser I should note that Lucas tried to get Ron Howard, Robert Zemeckis, and Steven Spielberg to direct The Phantom Menace. All of them rejected, so I guess you would have to have a tradeoff of sorts if you want any of those people to be involved instead. As in, The Phantom Menace is the best Star Wars movie since The Empire Strikes Back under Spielberg’s watch - but at the cost of Saving Private Ryan not getting made.the Star Wars Prequels having a different writer that leads to them being better received than in otl, etc, etc. Anyone interested in helping?
Yes,that's why TPM feel so disconnected and AOTC pacing is so erratic, the acting is ok, is just the script is a messHave you watched the movies lately? I
Those are some good ideas.Given:
this fits somewhat. Presumably, post-PoD, this parallels that.
- that Sega had some involvement in the Xbox's development early on in its history, particularly with the Windows CE development environment for the Dreamcast, in our timeline;
- this, which Google just turned up for me; and
- the amount of support Sega gave the Xbox in the form of exclusive games early on in the console's lifecycle,

It looks like SegaSoft released some PC titles, however, though perhaps you were already aware of that.

Agreed.
That's cool, but I'd rather see Sony get their reckoning. Also, I just don't think Sony-Sega could work here....Sony is....well...Sony......well, putting into context that, for all intents and purposes, Nintendo IS the 3rd place in the Console Wars compared to the Titans of Microsoft and Sony.

I would love to see Disney go thru a dark age just for the cold irony considering OTL's events.Yeah, so no Meta Era and stuff like the Sonic 06 debacle don't happen (especially with the fact of Elise, a human, kissing Sonic, a Hedgehog, which I don't want to think the implications of) and Shadow the Hedgehog is more fleshed out and comes out as a polished and better idea than what came out otl, so expect an emotionally complex, more three-dimensional characterization of Sonic ITTL's games that don't go overboard or melodramatic while still keeping him and the gang marketable.

Eh, less 'third place' and more 'took a third option.' (Sails the blue ocean.) And Nintendo hasn't done well consistently, no…, but the Wii's, DS's, and Switch's sales figures would like to have a word.well, putting into context that, for all intents and purposes, Nintendo IS the 3rd place in the Console Wars compared to the Titans of Microsoft and Sony.

OK, now that's something I haven t seen done yet. And would this happen before or after the Bandai/Namco merger from our timeline could? (I'm guessing maybe before?)…after Nintendo takes up Bandai…
This is even more unique!…while a South Korean company emerges to compete with Sega-Sony and Nintendo-Bandai in the 2000s and beyond.
I think you meant to say 'Dark Era' here.Yeah, so no Meta Era…
Good riddance!…and stuff like the Sonic 06 debacle don't happen (especially with the fact of Elise, a human, kissing Sonic, a Hedgehog, which I don't want to think the implications of)…
Sounds good!…and Shadow the Hedgehog is more fleshed out and comes out as a polished and better idea than what came out otl, so expect an emotionally complex, more three-dimensional characterization of Sonic ITTL's games that don't go overboard or melodramatic while still keeping him and the gang marketable.
OK, then just leave the MCU alone, but butterfly Disney's purchase of Marvel away. Also keep LucasFilm independent (or at least have some company other than Disney get them as a purchase/subsidiary but take a much more hands-off approach in managing them.)I've never been a personal fan of Superheroes (outside of Spiderman and Superman for obvious reasons) myself…but I can at least value their cultural legacy and impact they have.
