Nights: Into Dreams sequel Nights: Journey of Dreams and the unholy abyss it sank into. Oh Sega, Sega, Sega! I share my thoughts about the current franchise and how its potential sank like the Titanic.
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 bought a Sega Saturn just to play the original Nights.
That seems to be the problem with SEGA, they never handle their IP's and characters properly, they could breathe life into so many great IP's....I would love to see a new or reboot of Biohazard Battle, Congo Bongo, Nights, Panzer Dragoon, Jet set radio, Shenmue, Grandia, Ecco, Mr.Bones, Shinobi, Ristar, virtual on was one of my favorites...to play with the twin sticks was frantic.
I bought the original Nights on release day and still have the pillow case that came as a bonus for doing so. It was the last game to even broach the possibility of being a true "Mario killer" (and to think the Mario it was up against was Mario 64...). The sequel is a bit of a downer but I did play through it, the game does have some decent qualities(I think the Guardian Heroes "sequel" on the GBA was actually a bigger travesty). @TheRacingX don't forget Bug and Clockwork Knight, and Eternal Champions, too... At least the new Virtua Fighter titles have been good.
I played the original NiGHTS and its sequel, and I still think that NiGHTS doesn't deserve the praise it gets. Even the original game, that gets so much praise, is not a bad game, but it's not as great as people say it is.
