The SEGA Community Roundtable is back for another edition! This time our contributors discussed their favourite SEGA RPGs and it’s made for some brilliant reading.
Once again, a big thank you to all our contributors who made this article possible. The roundtable is becoming one of the most enjoyable things to collate and it’s fantastic to see what everyone has to say. What a diverse bunch you all are!
The following videos were filmed at GDC 2012 and feature handheld gameplay footage of Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode II. Check them out to see how the game is shaping up:
Creative Assembly have announced a new Total War game for iOS and Android devices called Total War Battles: Shogun.
Mike Simpson, Creative Director descrbied the game as bringing “Total War’s compelling real-time battles to mobile devices.” He continues; “We’ve designed a fresh new interface, combat mechanics and visuals specifically for mobile platforms through the Unity engine. Players will face absorbing new tactical challenges across an extensive narrative-driven campaign, with numerous side missions to explore.”
The Brand Director Rob Bartholomew adds “This isn’t a Total War PC game experience on mobile devices; it’s a distinct, suitable, immersive and above all high-quality title that sits right for the format. Total War Battles is a new franchise for mobile gaming that inherits the high-quality strategy gaming principles from our core series, but tailored into a game mechanic that specifically fits the mobile format.”
The game will release on both platforms on April 19th 2012.
SEGA’s Ben Harbone may have just let slip that Shenmue and Skies of Arcadia will be coming to download services. In an interview with Gamesreactor, Harbone said “Those are a couple of our most requested games. I can’t say ‘yes’ or ‘no,’ but we may be working on them.” My mind actually cannot fathom how awesome Shenmue in widescreen HD would be!
The release date for House of the Dead 4 on PSN has finally been revealed. Expect the game to appear on the Playstation Store April 18th for £6.49/€7.99.
This is the first time the previously arcade exclusive game is making it onto home consoles despite being originally released in 2005. This version also includes Move support, Trophies, bonus stages from The House of the Dead 4 Special, an item for PlayStation Home an interview with the game’s creator.
Welcome to a new feature for SEGADriven.com; the SEGA Community Roundtable! In this feature we’ll be approaching certain members of the SEGA community to discuss different topics.
Is a rather unexpected turn of events, SEGA have announced their next Dreamcast title to be ported to X-Box Live Arcade and Playstation Network will be Jet Set Radio. Check out the teaser trailer below:
So why is this unexpected? Well up until this point SEGA have been porting Dreamcast games that were already ported to PC as it appears to be easier. However, Jet Set Radio was never ported to the PC so this means SEGA have either developed an emulator that can run Dreamcast games on PS3 and 360 or they’ve actually ported it from the ground up which might mean we get improvements and added features.
All of this can only be a positive thing because if SEGA are willing to go to that effort to port Jet Set Radio then we might see other much loved Dreamcast games come to the service soon. Can I get a “Shenmue”? Amen brother!
