Hmmm, why they put "Online Gaming" on the front of it is beyond me then.cloofoofoo wrote: Its an official pack shot from the dreamcast premiere press disc, so yeah that cover while being a temp is directly for sega.Gunvalkyrie had one just like it too.

Re: Interview with Frederick Raynal on Agartha
I've seen promo / pre-release covers for PAL games that even DID get releases, touting non-existent online play. For example, Headhunter.
Evil Twin
Gigawing
All these titles have no online functions whatsoever, even no web browser to go to the game homepage. Sega Europe was just being dumb and the graphic artist was probably given a template that included the online functions bar.

Re: Interview with Frederick Raynal on Agartha
Actually, Headhunter was supposed to have online play but they rushed the game out so it never got implemented. I forget why but I heard about it in some YouTube video I watched.dark wrote:I've seen promo / pre-release covers for PAL games that even DID get releases, touting non-existent online play.

The Headhunter online mode was supposed to contain mutliplayer motorraces.

Re: Interview with Frederick Raynal on Agartha
That would have been a cool addition. I hope they were planning on have some longer tracks to race on since the roads in the game are extremely short.Wombat wrote:The Headhunter online mode was supposed to contain mutliplayer motorraces.

Re: Interview with Frederick Raynal on Agartha
Maybe there are some tracks hidden in the game that could be accessible through gameshark - I remember there was stuff like that in some gamecube games, where there would be some stuff left over that was otherwise inaccessible.
