Today Sega announced some interesting info on Sonic Generations.
1) You can play as classic sonic or 1999+ green-eyed Sonic. /one spaz session later- I am totally psyched about being able to play as classic sonic again.
2) Classic levels in HD both side-scrolling and 3rd person. Now, that’s interesting. We’ve seen Green Hill Zone as 3rd person in Sonic Adventure 2 but now other’s – in HD? But beyond that – being able...
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
Now this is gonna be awesome!! As long as it doesn't fall into the low quality area the last several games have been. Only gripe I have is with Classic Sonic's jumping noise. It sounds more like the Sega CD version, kinda wish they would have done the Sonic 3K sound instead, but hey, if that is my only complaint - Hats off to SEGA!
Well I like the Logo.
Damn I can't wait! I love Sonic waaaaaaaaaaaay too much. Compared to them silly plumbers. haha (^_-)b
Simple yet effective tip for Sega:
Absorb what is useful, Discard what is not, Add what is uniquely your own. (but don't over do it like very slow and difficult platforming game play on a fast paced game) Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do. Simplicity is the last step of art.
