Serves SEGA right, doesn’t it. Made a right crappy game out of Colonial Marines they did, so someone is suing them. Oh, well, they didn’t make it per say, but I’m sure they are to blame somehow. Don’t worry, developer Gearbox are getting sued to. Yeah, in your face, Pitchford!
Ken Levine though? He’s a God. He and Irrational craft critically lauded works of fantasy. BioShock: Infinite was a masterpiece. They’d never “do a SEGA” on us and whet our lips with a false gameplay demo that way overemphasises aspects of their game, let alone showcase amazing features that never actually appeared in the final release.
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."
Shame about Creative Assembly, they should have just been allowed to do an Alien Isolation sequel.
It was that garbage coh 3 that did them in only a special team can make a sequel worse in every way even though it was a 10 year gap and the same era.
Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive probably run on a shoe string budget so that fits into SEGA better lol
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.
I enjoy the picture very much, A very interesting and insightful piece.
I was let down by Infinite. However, this article is silly. Colonial Marines was broken. Infinite was just dumbed down compared to Bioshock.
I loved infinite but this article raises some good points. I liked the demo version of the handyman a lot better. Also I agree on citizens using the visors against you and Elizabeth having better tears would have made the game that much better
Different extremes here but it's still the same idea. One game just happens to be a broken mess and the other only sports mediocre dumbed down gameplay. The other difference is that people were rightly upset over the finished product of Aliens but not nearly enough people were outraged by the shooting gallery Infinite turned out to be.
Nothing was worse than Dead Island, but I think some people are missing the importance of this trial (if it even happens). This is that it will set a precedent for how misleading an ad can be. A lot of people seem to forget that "this does not represent the final product" or any of that legal nonsense is not a "get out of jail free" card.
