SEGA has released its results for the first quarter of the financial year, revealing a profit drop of 57.4 percent.
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.
they should release a new sega console next year with a lot of first party titles. id love a new crazy taxi, powerstone, house of the dead, sonic, vector man and a lot of other titles
it would be awesome if the lack of sega released games is because they are waiting to release a new console with an onslaught of first party tites.
Localize more of your games, Sega!
Lack of localization on what they deem "too japanese" for this western market is probably what's hurting them.
We saw no phantasy star online 2 over and that could've sold a few hundred thousand copies easy.
I hope they localize Nova and that new shining title.
Kind of glad they didn't bring pso2 to the west as I was hopelessly addicted to PSO.
I have been too scared to touch an MMO since Haha
I would sure buy Yakuza 5 in an instant if they ever brought it over .
