DANGERMAN Posted March 28, 2024 Author Posted March 28, 2024 Sega are making more layoffs, and have let Relic go independent (sold them to themselves I guess?) Quote Sega has sold Relic Entertainment, and will cut 240 roles across Sega Europe, Creative Assembly and Sega HARDlight 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. https://www.gamesindustry.biz/sega-sells-relic-and-will-cut-240-jobs-across-uk-studios
Maryokutai Posted September 7, 2024 Posted September 7, 2024 Some leaked gameplay footage of: Crazy Taxi: https://streamable.com/ijuoxs Shinobi: https://streamable.com/j8qc11 As a 3D game Crazy Taxi still looks rough, but this is that f2p multiplayer reboot game so I'm not too interested in it either way. Shinobi looks really good though. 1
DANGERMAN Posted September 7, 2024 Author Posted September 7, 2024 Crazy Taxi looks really poor, but it's still very early days and we don't know how far along that footage is from. It doesn't look like a Crazy taxi game regardless, which I know we knew, but sad to see
DANGERMAN Posted September 13, 2024 Author Posted September 13, 2024 Isn't there supposed to be a new, surprising, Yakuza /Like A Dragon game being announced soon? The 3rd game will be Puyo Puyo Bastard! a gritty reboot of the Puyo Puyo series
Maf Posted September 23, 2024 Posted September 23, 2024 I see your PlayStation Showcase and I raise you
Maf Posted March 5 Posted March 5 I really want to go back and finish Metaphor. Even at 20 hours I was a bit burnt out but I might have been playing too much, too quickly. I did really like it
DANGERMAN Posted March 6 Author Posted March 6 I mean, it's just confirming what we've always know @Maf Maybe some other developers could learn a thing or two
Maf Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Publisher Atlus were hot before Sega, Sonic has the Sonic cycle, and I don’t play them so I don’t really care but they make to many Yakuza games
Maf Posted May 12 Posted May 12 https://gamerant.com/sega-2025-earnings-report-financials-analysis-game-sales-revenue-forecast/ Quote Sega's Older Games Are Outselling New Titles 4-to-1 Sega's latest financials show that its back catalog continues to drive the bulk of its video game sales. During fiscal year 2025, the company sold 24.87 million "Repeat" titles—i.e., games released in previous years—compared to just 6.57 million new releases, a 4-to-1 ratio. Despite the lower volume, new titles nearly matched older ones in revenue thanks to higher average prices, bringing in $226 million versus $289 million. However, Sega's free-to-play games like Persona 5: The Phantom X and Sonic Rumble outperformed both, generating approximately $317 million in revenue. For fiscal year 2026, Sega forecasts approximately $451 million in F2P revenue, as well as $300 million in "Repeat" game net sales. Earnings from new title sales are projected to remain flat during the current fiscal year, which kicked off on April 1. Persona titles were among the highest-performing products in the "Repeat" games segment during FY 2025. Even though the long-running series received no new entries between April 2024 and March 2025, 3.58 million Persona games were sold in this period. Also mentioned in the article that overall Sega revenue down 9.4% But expecting a big rebound in 2026. Big games coming, perhaps? They also said Sonic X Shadow Generations did really well. Hint, hint, Sega. That format for a Sonic game has a lot of fans!
DANGERMAN Posted May 12 Author Posted May 12 get ready for Sonic Rush HD X Silver! edit: I suppose this year we've not had a full Yakuza game, a full Sonic, or a full Persona. Switch 2 gives them the chance to rerelease a couple of games, and maybe we'll get another of their teased old series games alongside Shinobi
Maf Posted May 13 Posted May 13 I’m surprised how much money Sonic Rumble made. It’s one of those games that has 0 conversation around it in gaming culture but must be going crazy with kids on iPad I want them to bring that and the Sonic Dreams games to console. Sonic Dreams was good on iPad but the controls were rubbish. Proper stick and buttons and there’s a nice little game there
Maf Posted May 21 Posted May 21 Sonic R HD! Sonic Rivals 3?! Sonic Rush Adventure World Tour?!?! 🤪 Probably that Racing game Cross Worlds and a Sonic Unleashed Remaster (PC just had that well received fan port of Unleashed but consoles still need a version) Also that’s a fantastic render of Sonic
DANGERMAN Posted June 21 Author Posted June 21 https://insider-gaming.com/sega-accidentally-makes-sales-data-public-for-11-major-games/ I won't post the whole thing, but the breakdown of this is quite interesting so you should click on it. Some of their games (Persona for one, seem to be selling more now than their first years or so on sale, likely because of price drops I suppose Persona 5 Royal (Including the remaster) - 7.25M Sonic Frontiers - 4.57M Team Sonic Racing - 3.50M Total War: THREE KINGDOMS - 3.21M Yakuza: Like a Dragon - 2.86M Sonic Superstars - 2.43M Total War: WARHAMMER III - 2.34M Shin Megami Tensei V (including Vengeance) - 2.11M Persona 3 Reload - 2.07M Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth - 1.66M Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name - 960,000
