SPOnG: "Gameplay footage of a proposed Streets of Rage "re-imagining" has been leaked on the internet. The project was being developed by Ruffian Games and apparently pitched to SEGA as a downloadable title before it was cancelled."
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.
as much as i like the franchise, i think this would have hit the bargain-bin pretty quickly.
What? It looked pretty good to me. For a downloadable title anyway.
big fan big fan, Although they should of left it in 2d,
i would of been part of that 1000 buys
love street of rage
Why not 2.5D?
Yes like StreetFighter 4 style graphics, would have been awesome, I can imagine those graphics with a constant up-close flow to the game...
