It’s game on for Walt Disney Animation Studios. The new 3D computer animated movie Wreck-It Ralph offers a nostalgic and heartfelt journey through the history of video games. The movie weaves an original story that constantly connects this fictional world with real game characters from four decades of interactive entertainment.
Although director Rich Moore is making his feature film debut with this movie, he’s spent many years finding ways to make people laugh as a supervising producer for Matt Groening’s Futurama and The Simpsons franchises. He also knows a lot about video games, having played just about every game ever made. Moore explains how he fit so many game cameos in the film and talks about a potential movie sequel in this exclusive interview. The movie had its Hollywood premiere last night and opens at the box office on November 2.
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.
