The Sonic Amateur Games Expo is set to return next year! The great news is the Sonic fangaming show will also be returning to its original bi-annual format with the first show taking place from February 23rd to March 1st. The 2nd show has yet to have a date set in stone, but if past SAGEs have taught me anything then it’s a safe bet to place it around August/September time. More on that as we get it.
Full details about the next SAGE can be found at Sonic Fan Games HQ as well as a complete set of guidelines for booth registration. Registrations must be completed by February 15th 2014.

More additional features for Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin have been revealed. The game will feature an in depth farming mechanic which allows you to grow 20 different vegetables and crops. These can cooked at home for health perks or sold for profit at the local market.
Fishing returns to the franchise and plays similarly to SEGA Bass Fishing. Multiple lures will have to be tried to test their effectiveness with different fish. Fish can also be cooked or sold similarly to your crops.
The final addition is that of pets. Stray dogs and cats can be taken in with a limit of 3 pets to your household. Keeping them happy means that on occasion they might fetch a rare item for you.

As per SEGA’s recent strategy for the West, the company will be publishing more games using the Aliens IP. It was revealed a while back that The Creative Assembly would be making a game but today we finally have the first details as to what the game will be.
Kotaku have discovered that The Creative Assembly will create a game called Alien: Isolation. The new game will be a FPS due for release in 2014 and will be a cross-generational title.
The game is also supposed to take the form of a stealth/horror title and play similarly to games like Bioshock and Dishonored. You also play as Amanda Ripley; Ellen Ripley’s daughter.
SEGA are hoping to make up for the bad reception of Aliens: Colonial Marines by giving The Creative Assembly plenty of time to develop the title and have already delayed the game’s announcement from a proposed E3 reveal.
More on this as it develops.
