SEGAbits: "Fans want a Streets of Rage Remake and SEGA didn't answer. What did they do? They did it themselves, without using any of SEGA's code. They recently released the final version of their game and it didn't excite SEGA too much."
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.
Damn sux for those who didn't download it i downloaded it right away so i'm safe.
good thing i got it before it was too late
SEGA should be honored that this team put together such an excellent remake! Very unfortunate to hear that they shut it down after all these years of hard work that BomberGames put into this...
8 years of effort down the drain, I haven't been depressed like this about a fan game since Chrono Trigger Crimson Echoes. (At least this got released, though...)
Bollocks I was meaning to download this, just been so busy this week. I'm sure someone will host it somewhere, it's the internet - you can't stop it!!
Such a shame too, if Sega decide to reboot the franchise it'll know doubt be an insult of a game too. The fans do it right.
