GamesBeat's Mike Minotti: Video games are often ridiculous, but I’ve never seen one with a plot as bizarre and twisted as Hell Yeah!’s. I’m not even sure if I can do it justice, but here I go. Hell Yeah! tells the story of Ash, the prince of Hell…and also a bunny skeleton. He also loves his rubber ducky, but one day someone takes a picture of him…um, “playing” with his squeaky companion and uploads it to the underworld’s equivalent of the Internet, where it’s viewed by a hundred demons.
Ash is understandably embarrassed, so he goes on a quest to violently murder every single demon who saw the compromising pictures. Well, every hero needs motivation. Sure, it’s not saving a princess or defeating an alien invasion, but who are we to judge?
This outlandish premise alone should be enough to get your attention, but I found out that Hell Yeah! actually backs up this humorous plot with some solid gameplay when I played the title at publisher Sega’s Electronic Entertainment Expo booth.
SEGA has announced Fearless: Year of Shadow, a campaign that celebrates Sonic the Hedgehog and his brooding acquaintance, Shadow.
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.
Sounds good to me!
I will buy this 1
I need this.
Does this play like a metroidvania?
