Sega legend speaks to CVG in a just-published interview...
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
title is misleading
.
Wow...
I would love a Dreamcast 2 but I can't see it even happening, it would be pretty hard to bring new hardware into the console market and I would hate to see another Dreamcast fail since it was such a great console and my personal all-time favourite.
Talks about Japan slipping behind the west too which I agree with they have done pretty much since this gen started they should give up with the 360 entirely as its obviously not working and concentrate on where the sales are ps3, wii and handhelds as more time dedicated to one console would raise there games and thus there profiles. Western developers are the best for multi-platforms it seems (even though they do shoddy ps3 ports everytime) so leave it to them and get back to basics.
He also mentioned the fact that he doesnt want to work with Sega again
