SEGA has aligned itself with Platinum Games, the developer made up of former Clover heads. Among the fruits of this pact is an original Nintendo DS IP called Infinite Line. SEGA and Platinum Games gave a brief presentation on the game at an event in San Francisco yesterday.
The video began with a slow spaceship crawl reminiscent of the opening scene of Star Wars. Eventually the camera panned out to reveal many vessels traveling in space. A representative from Platinum Games explained that Infinite Line will allow players to captain a ship, "like Captain Kirk in Star Trek." There are two main features of Infinite Line.
Continuing Gamasutra's 2010 round-up, Brandon Sheffield presents our top 5 cult hits of the year, a eclectic mix of games from the B-movie esoterica of Deadly Premonition, to the pressures of running a professional game dev sweatshop.
If you have a 360, you need to get Deadly Premonition. If you have a PS3, import it.
I love games like Deadly Premonition for the same reasons I love campy horror flicks.
Some things in this world should just be appreciated for what they are. :)
Go DP GO!
and since when do Iphone and facebook games count as REAL games?
i never counted them as REAL games for the fact they aren't
Platinum Games published two new trailers from Infinite Space.
This game is looking awesome. It's appearing to be just how epic and amazing I thought it was going to be back when it was first announced.
Is it based on an anime? Or are all of those cutscenes really coming from the game?
If it's the latter.... holy crap.
Can't wait for a Western release! :D
o get all of the Tokyo Game Show in a tizzy for SEGA/Platinum Games DS title Infinite Space, animation studios GONZO and Production I.G. have been roped into to make animated shorts. GONZO is known for its animated version of Strike Witches while Production I.G. is best known for Ghost in the Shell. The first of these collaborations will show at TGS on October 9th. After that, they'll be available on the game's website.
"We're probably talking 50-60 hours just to get through once. But if you want to do everything it will probably take you 100 hours." Dang!
Man sounds like Sega did a hell of a job getting Platinum Games to do some stuff with them. Glad they are using the DS in this way and the Wii game they have coming out sounds cool too ^^
