Neptune is a Thing That Might Happen, Thanks to NISA

This is the best year for JRPGs since 2005. We're going into the Golden Age of JRPGs. Legend of Heroes and all sorts of niche (but incredible) PSP games, the 3DS is right around the corner (and we KNOW that will have JRPGs) and the PS3 has really stepped it up as the JRPG (home) console to own; think I'm at about 15 JRPGs this year on my "To Buy" list - just for the PS3.

Incredible.

MS has all but spit in my face for my JRPG love, kind of insulting as I bought a 360 for these types of games and they've pulled support for the genre. They seem more interested with courting the casuals and their trinity of shooters - Gears, Halo, COD.

And more on topic, this game looks delightfully weird.

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.

I hope they find new jobs in the industry soon.

Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive probably run on a shoe string budget so that fits into SEGA better lol

SEGA’s Switch Predecessor: What Happened to the Nomad?

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.
