More than 2 years after the initial release of Phantasy Star Online 2 in Japan players in the West are still asking Sega when it will be their turn. Earlier this year it expanded to Asia and also made the mobile leap to Andriod and iOS, only in Japan though. After so long many have simply given up hope of it ever being brought to Western audiences.
But last week on Twitter @Japan_Game_Love tweeted about the sad state of PSO2 in the West... and SEGA answered.
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.
Not even a word has been since that day, what a ridiculous way to treat their fans.
When they are asked at game conventions they just give vague responses. It's not right, just come out and say something already.
The way SEGA have been treating us fans it's making me hate them. I have been a SEGA fan for nearly 20 years and i have never been as annoyed with them as i am now.
