Sega was reportedly set to announce a new Sonic the Hedgehog game for current and next-gen consoles in mid-February. Now comes word that the new installment will be called Sonic Adventure 3.
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.
Please be true!
Day one buy if this pans out. I'm not even embarrassed
Who cares what it's titled? SEGA is probably gonna introduce some bizarre gameplay no one wants (again), and being a sequel to a good game won't change that.
Like how not many people like Super Mario Bros. 2 because of the whole "throw vegetables" thing (I don't like it either, but for a different reason). If it had been called a spin-off instead of a sequel it probably would have gotten only a little bit better reception.
I've basically given up on new Sonic games being any good... but I'm too big of a sonic fanboy to not get it.
Darn you SEGA!
Oh sweet Jesus! day one. no embarrassment here either.
