DC - "This week I bought a box of SEGA Mega Drive consoles and games. Today I’ve been sorting it out, and will be looking at both SEGA’s classic console and some of the games I’ve picked up for it."
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.
toejam n earl attack on funkatron was the first game i played when i was 3. litterally the dopest game ever. madden and roadrash on the gamegear etc.... cool retro article brotha!
Revenge of Shinobi is awesome. You need to sit down and figure it out. Altered Beast? Where do you get that comparison? Nothing alike besides the scrolling. Road Rash 2 and 3 were the peak of that series. The PS1/Saturn games were mediocre. The N64 Road Rash was decent but that was about it.
Spend more time with them games before cutting off their heads. Also do yourself a favor and pick up Streets of Rage 2 and crank it through a stereo with the front headphone stereo jack. It still sounds killer.
I used to love the first two Streets of Rage games, will definitely be looking out for them! Revenge of Shinobi is growing on me to be fair, but didn't stand out compared to some of the other games at first. I got mauled by a wolf quite a lot which made me think of Altered Beast, but other than that they are fairly different now I think about it.
Oh and Road Rash on PS1/Saturn is an unloved classic!! The Mega Drive games are good to though, they need to bring that series back!
