Gone are the days when Sonic and Mario were in bitter opposition, smack-talking each other in adverts and fighting for the affections of millions of gamers.
Sega has released its financial statement for the 2023-24 fiscal year, and profits may be up, but it's mostly not down to video games.
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
Can't wait to play Sonic lost world
I hope 3Ds version isn't botched....I preordered for 3ds:(
Sonic gen on 3Ds was down right terrible :( I still beat it though.
"In the 3DS console, simply because of the processing power, restructuring the 3D world was very difficult. Specially in Lost World we had to design the twisted environments which is one big feature of this game, the calculation of the polygon collisions are a lot more complicated, so we are doing various things to solve this."
This is one instance where I prefer the Vita, most vita games are direct ports...although some are flawed technically (frames etc) but at least it's there:P.
I hope this is still fun haha:P
