It's no mean feat powering up from being video game publisher No. 14 in 2004 to becoming the industry's sixth largest third-party publisher today. But Sega of America is tasting that success. Industry analysts credit its president and COO since 2005, Simon Jeffery, as the force behind the company's struggle to reinvent itself.
In fact, come May 2, when the Marvel Enterprises-produced "Iron Man" blasts into movie theaters, Sega is counting on the day-and-date release of its video game version to inject even more life into what was once a very anemic portfolio.
"Historically, Sega hasn't been part of the license business," explains Jeffery. "But we felt that in order to gain market momentum, we absolutely needed to have big game-appropriate movie licenses under our belt."
EA Motive's Iron Man game will feature writing from Ryan North, the Canadian author behind The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl.
wtf? He has also written in a ton of Marvel comic books, and you quote Squirrel Girl? Click bait at its best.
I honestly don't know since I'm only a casual Marvel fan, do people like Squirrel Girl?
Motive Studio, which released this year's Dead Space remake, announced this Iron Man game in September of last year.
Wait for gameplay first. Why do people blindly hype games without any solid video evidence?
like exomecha, game looked amazing, they even showed unreal engine 5 updates, meanwhile its year and half later, company is gone, website is for sale and the company is gone
Wow.. Where have I been to completely miss this.. haha
Glad to see EA Motive getting more responsibility after the good work they seemed to have done with the Dead Space remake. A well-done Iron Man game has the potential to be REALLY good fun!
Wouldn't be an entirely bad thing if we're talking about using the flight from Anthem. The up and go/flight was pretty solid. It was the shooting and other aspects that made Anthem subpar imo. So if we're talking combat then they need to do some work. Granted, even if they opted to use flight from Anthem some work would probably still need to be done regarding fast paced aerial combat. 2 cents
I agree. Anthem’s flight mechanics were smooth and responsive. This Ironman game needs to take that and improve upon it further.
EA Motive choosing to release its upcoming Iron Man game before the Dead Space 2 Remake is a wise decision for the developer's future.
I believe Alien is the only one looking to have real promise as a big seller... the other two appear to be your standard, "lets make more money off of this movie with a video game" types

....."The JOEY has Spoken"
maybe the next real sonic game won't suck. :/
Looks like Joey is running out of bubbles.
Too much talking in 3d person, perhaps?
In other words:
"We're making some crappy games that little kids will buy because they'll play anything and they love super heroes! Aliens is directed to our older category, but it will suck too."
Joey needs bubbles; I gotcha covered.
The Genius has spoken.
Bubbles please :|
