Sumo Digital coming up with SEGA ideas

by

Steve Lycett, producer at Sumo Digital has confirmed he is not dead, neither am I, we have something in common! He has also confirmed he does not own a PS3. The more we know about Steve the more we feel like we can hang out with him in real life and watch Friends re-runs.

“I’m not dead, honest

I’d have a job playing the PS3 version, I don’t own a PS3! So sadly I’ll have to decline this for the moment. I’m also mad busy getting new stuff off the ground here at Sumo, nothing we can talk about just yet, just free time’s not been something I’ve had in abundance these last few weeks…”

Well of course, this post is not about if Steve owns a PS3 or not (or if he is dead), its about what Sumo is working on with SEGA. So the following quote please!

I’m not working on the Dr. Who game, I’m actually pretty jealous of the guys who are! I can’t go into any details sadly on the new stuff, right now we’ve got a few ideas brewing SEGA wise though

SEGA ideas, huh? Well, I will give you guys a free idea right now. Fuku-San’s Piggy Bank Break Out. A Fuku-San theme game show? You’re welcomed.

E3 around the corner, start your Shenmue 3 rumors

by


If you have been a SEGA fan for a long time, you know that around this time you will hear a ton of outlandish E3 rumors. Seems that time again, spanish site Meristation.com (once again) is saying Shenmue 3 will be at E3. They did this last year! So its no doubt they are doing it again this year, only its a Playstation Move exclusive now. Also it will use Unreal 3 tech.

Just posting this to not get anyone excited. Most of this stuff is posted to get hits. The site has a history of misinformation.

Alpha Protocol music video trailer

by


Seems that this whole “music video trailer” thing seems to be a popular thing to do, now SEGA is flexing their rhythm and trying to make you remember the name of the protagonist in Alpha Protocol.

All I got out of the trailer is that Michael Thornton’s name is said by a ton of characters in the game, so much so that they can make a 1 minute music video out of it.

Alpha Protocol features a SEGA Saturn

by


This is probably the best news piece out of Alpha Protocol, it has a SEGA Saturn! Reminds me of Shenmue and it also having a SEGA Saturn. Not that it made sense in that game, since it was the 80’s.

But who cares, lets all go on youtube now and watch Segata Sanshiro adverts and wonder if the 3-D SEGA Saturn in game lets you play some Saturn games like on Shenmue.

So what does SEGA think about Yakuza 3 sales?

by


SEGA’s community manager has spoken out about Yakuza 3’s sales in the west and it isn’t negative.

“So, while I’m not able to give you any numbers, I can at least still confirm that the initial sales were really positive, and that all of the fans who jumped in to support the franchise in the west did a great job.”  –RubyEclipse, Community Manager

I guess its OK to ask and cry for Yakuza 4 and Black Leopard? C’mon SEGA, you know we are going to start whining, just bring them over.

As for the screens, the graphics are very PS2 like, not that it is a bad thing. Just expected better. I hope the game is fun and there is a English release. I can dream, right?

First Alpha Protocol review comes in

by

The first review is in, from Spanish magazine PlayMania (issue 127). The review is that the game is great, scoring a 88 out of a hundred.

Graphics -> 80 – The exteriors are not so bad but the models and their animations are far from perfect.
Sound -> 90 – Appropriate soundtrack.
Diversity -> 89 – Even though it’s the same game, there are many possibilities when it comes to customizing your character and deciding how to play.
Duration -> 90 – The replayability factor is really high. You can play Alpha Protocol a lot of times without experiencing the same adventure.
Overall -> 88 – A spy role playing game that succeeds in blending action with stealth and gives players a high degree of freedom in choosing how they want to proceed.

Game comes out on June 1st in America, you can pre-order it on Amazon [360 – PS3 – PC] and save yourself a few bucks.

3D Dot Game Heroes can do Master System

by

Made by IGN’s Retro devision. 3D Dot Game Heroes is a throw back to retro titles with a weird, cube like graphical effects (3D pixels, if you will). The game has recently been released in the west by Atlus, on the Playstation 3.

Good to see that retro, especially 8-bit focused, get some SEGA love. Usually Nintendo hogs up all the spot light.

If you own the game, you can import IGN’s Master System characters (Opa-Opa and Mick), download here.

Kamiya speaks out about Bayonetta porn

by

I guess Hideki Kamiya, director of Bayonetta, has never heard about rule 34 because he is shocked that someone would make pornography based on Bayonetta.

It seems there’s pornorgraphic doujinshi based off Bayonetta… There are fans who will resent that, and I hardly think those responsible [for the doujinshi] hold any love for the game…

Kind sir, it has been out ever since you showed off the game in 2008. That is what happens when you put a sexy female in your game.
