Jerry from BagoGames says, "Sega has had a long history and with that has come some unique games that I hope they decide to resurrect in between the endless spawn of Sonic sequels."
Intercept Games, the developer of space sim Kerbal Space Program 2, appears to have been shut down by parent company Take-Two.
Poor Xbox sales have affected AMD’S bottom line
Oh wow. How surprising! Nvidia overpriced their RTX cards by +100% and AMD instead of offering real competition, decided to join Nvidia in their greedy approach, while not having the same mindshare as Nvidia (sadly) does. The 7900 launch was a marketing disaster. All the reviews were made while the card was not worth the money at all, they lowered the price a bit later on, but not only not enough but also too late and out of "free marketing" window coming along with the new card generation release. Then the geniuses at AMD axed the high-end SKUs with increased cache etc, cause "nobody will buy expensive cards to play games" while Nvidia laughed at them selling their 2000€ 4090s.
Intel had all the mindshare among PC enthusiasts with their CPUs. All it took was a competetive product and good price (Ryzen 7000 series and especially 7800x3d) and guess what? AMD regained the market share in DYI PCs in no time! The same could've have happened with Radeon 5000, Radeon 6000 and Radeon 7000.
But meh. Why bother. Let's cancell high-end RDNA 4 and use the TSMC wafers for AI and then let the clueless "analysts" make their articles about "gaming demand dwingling".
I'm sure low-end, very overpriced and barely faster if not slower RDNA4 will turn things around. It will have AI and RT! Two things nobody asked for, especially not gamers who'd like to use the PC for what's most exciting about PC gaming (VR, high framerate gaming, hi-res gaming).
8000 series will be slow, overpriced and marketed based on its much improved RT/AI... and it will flop badly.
And there will be no sane conclusions made at AMD about that. There will be just one, insane: Gaming is not worth catering to. Let's go into AI/RT instead, what could go wrong..."
Well that's gonna happen when you don't really try. I want to support AMD so badly and give Nvidia some actual competition but they don't very much seem interested in challenging, by their own accord. I been waiting for them to attack the GPU segment the same way they took over CPU, but they just seem so content with handing Nvidia the market year after year, and it's happening again this year with their cancelled high end card.
AMD prcied their cards thinking that they will sell out just like in the mining craze. I suspect reality has hit home when they realized most gamers cannot afford to spend over $500 for a gpu.
As part of previously-announced layoffs, Take-Two Interactive is closing Intercept Games and Roll7.
I loved Rollerdrome and was looking forward to a Rollerdrome 2. 😐
Don't want to be melodramatic but as far you can be upset over video-game news ... bit heartbroken.
I feel like there's a trend of well made games like this going largely ignored by the gaming audience. It's quite frustrating. I hope the devs form a new studio but I suppose they'd have to start again from scratch.
Olliolli 2, olliolli world and rollerdrome are some of my favorite indies of all time. This industry is disgusting lately.
I loved Olli Olli.
I wanted to like Rollerdrome a lot more than I actually did. Shame about the studio though
Skies of Arcadia should have been continued with a sequel or remastered or something beyond the port to GameCube.
Sega scaring away most of their top producers has not done them any favors. It's a shame with all those franchises they got under their belt.
Should be 5 Sega "Games" not "Series" as a series implies there were more than one released within its lifetime. There was only one skies, one billy, one seaman.
Now condemned at least had two games and sakura wars had a few as well so those would count as series. for me personally, I would say the series I would like to see return would be Space Harrier (we never did get the console port of planet harriers), Panzer Dragoon, Otogi, Streets of Rage and Golden Axe.
Alien Storm, Streets of Rage and Shenmue oh wait they doing that ;) just not 1-2? Come on Sega let's have the trilogy under one console for once... even if it may go to a 4th game.
Panzer Dragoon Saga, Shining Force & Shining the Holy Ark, Burning Rangers, Virtual On, Daytona USA, Sega Rally Championship, and Fighters Mega-Mix (really all of their arcade games... house of the dead, virtua cop... ) .... would love to see all of these updated. (Just glad I still have my old Dreamcast and Saturn collections)
