For better or worse, depending on your gaming preference, Sonic games of late are best compared to a roller coaster ride; fast and exhilarating but with a sense of powerlessness. But therein lies the main problem – for all their visual flair and exciting moments Sonic games can’t quite distract from the fact that they leave their players feeling more like spectators rather than participants. Sonic Colors on the Wii does very little to break this trend – after all, Sega and Sonic fans wouldn’t have it any other way, and whilst control issues of the past still creep up every now and then, it does manage to provide some genuine moments of fun.
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.
