epicJRPG.com brings you a summary of JRPG news from around the web for March 29th, 2013, including details on big updates coming to the highly anticipated PS Vita title Soul Sacrifice, and rumours surrounding the possible release of the long-awaited Shenmue as a Playstation 4 exclusive.
Also in this update, game Director Hideaki Itsuno talks about Dragon's Dogma at GDC.
GamesIndustry.biz writes: "Relic is best known for the Company of Heroes and Dawn of War games, and recently developed the new Age of Empires for Microsoft. Relic will transition to an independent studio and will no-longer be part of the Sega group of studios.
The majority of the 240 job cuts are across Creative Assembly and Sega Europe, while there will be a ‘small number’ cut from Sega HARDLight. There was no mention of other Sega UK studios, including Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive."
Sega had such a turbulent existence from the mid-90s to when they dropped out of console manufacturing entirely in 2001, it’s understandable if you’ve never heard of the Genesis Nomad.
Dragon's Dogma 2 continues Capcom's hot streak of favorably reviewed games as the studio lands first on Metacritic's top publishers ranking.
if they announced shenmue 3 for ps4 i would literally jump from rooftop to rooftop in my neighborhood.
i also hope they bring Yakuza 5.
Shenmue 1 & 2 were very ambitious games. 2 was fantastic. Seeing what they managed to do on the Dreamcast I would love to see what they could with a 3rd game on the PS4.
shenmue 3 for ps4 would make me purchase a PS4 day 1
It would be better suited for Vita..if Sony's smart that is. The Vita needs a system seller, the PS4 already has several.
