Max Level: "Sega’s third stab at bringing the Alien franchise into gaming was the most highly anticipated to date. Aliens: Colonial Marines had most of the odds working in their favor. A nice release window with other sci-fi shooters being few and far between, a high profile movie franchise with a cult following to base the game on and big name developers Gearbox Software (still revelling in Borderlands 2 success) slapping their god-like touch on the game."
Sega has released its financial statement for the 2023-24 fiscal year, and profits may be up, but it's mostly not down to video games.
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."
It's nice to see a review that doesn't pull any punches
Hopefully people will take this with open ears
Well, that was unexpected. I didn't think that game would be like that.
Welp... I'm glad I didn't pre-order!
This was the top selling pre-order on Steam and to think this is how it turned out. That has cannot sit well with the developers.
