Is it me or is the Megadrive collection growing stale? There was a collection on Xbox and PS2, that eventually ported to PC. Almost the same collection appeared on Xbox 360 and PS3. And now there's a GOLD EDITION arriving on PC shortly.
As quoted from Sega's website "This special edition consists of all 45 titles from the previous Mega Drive Classic Collection™ Volumes 1-4". What? So this isn't a new collection? In fact there aren't ANY new titles on the disc?! If you owned any of the previous collections on PC or on any games console, then you've pretty much already got these games. And whilst I agree that the MegaDrive was an amazing games console with a massive list of exceptional games, why would anyone want to buy the same games again and again and again?
These collections are supposed to be 'Classic' or 'Ultimate' or whatever buzz word sells, but I can think of plenty of MegaDrive games that haven't been included in any of the collections I've seen. How about Flashback? Now that was a classic that pushed the limits of the console. It had a fantastic story and excellent gameplay. Not to mention the lush graphics. Or how about NBA Jam? My brother and I loved that game as kids.
I understand that there may be some developers who refuse to let Sega use their games in these collections. It's their creation after all so why should Sega make extra profit from it? But to have no new games in this Gold Edition collection just feels like they haven't even bothered trying.
