Reboots, re-imaginings and remakes are all the rage right now in video games. In the latest Rose Experience, Jason wants to take you through a few of the series that are near and dear to his heart and some he would love to see get another kick at the can. Don’t worry if he left out your faves; chances are Jason wants them too and thought of them as well. Just remember, he only has so much time and can’t cover everything.
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."
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.
I'm 40 and grew up on games of all types. I remember being in college and seeing this new console "the Playstation" back in 1996 and drooling at resident evil. I then bought a gamecube just for the remake of the first Resident Evil and to this day, that games is one of my all time greatest games. I personally would buy a remake of the first 3 resi games every time they remade it. Its a pity that the series has turned into the abomination that it currently is. I still refuse to by #6.
I'm afraid there's a major chance of Legacy of Kain being messed up, so i would never accept a modern reboot of that game.
