So for this edition of Misplace Melodies 8BitChimp wanted to look at one of Brian's favorite consoles of all time; the Sega Dreamcast. Being the follow-up to the Saturn, and having to compete with the Playstation 2, the Dreamcast was put in an unenviable position. Still the console had many great games and some awesome soundtracks. Today 8BitChimp checks out five of them that you may not have had the pleasure of hearing.
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.
Shenmue, 1999
"I felt obligated to include this one. A Dreamcast list without its inclusion is liable to get me flogged"
Wise decision my man, wise decision...
