This is why on the other thread I'd like to make fanfilms on Sega games despite the fact I know it's not my forté. Because even though there are people out there capable of making Resident Evil fan films and produce plenty of them, they just won't make a House of the Dead fanfilm.
I'm not angry, jealous or anything pathetic towards those producers, they do what they love and that's what matters and I respect the effort they put into their projects. It's just I would love to see such projects given to Sega's old IPs because as Sega fans we see the potential in them. But unless we get as good as them no one's gonna make it. Even I doubt Sega and/or Paramount will bother with a "Sega Cinematic Universe" even if there's probably enough buzz around for them to get word of it.
Yes, someone has to start something.
Shenmue 3 was happened because the fans were pretty vocal about it.
Anyway, not to derail, it's just how I feel about it. I'm the sort of person who "want's things to exist" in the world but believe "if no one else will do it then I must do it."I guess that's also the cause. I know that feeling. freemium mobile games may not be my thing but usually it's because I can't get them on my phone. Thus I missed out on Sonic Runners and Sega Heroes. What sucked is Demiurge has ported some of it's puzzle games to Steam, but they let Sega Heroes die.
This was just a rumour so take it with a grain of salt :
There are too many restriction and direction from SEGA of Japan about that game.
For example : Demiurge wanted to use characters from Shining Force, but SEGA said no, use from Chuhu Rocket instead.
Why? To promote Chuchu Rocket Universe iOS game.
They have more freedom from Marvel.
That's why they still continue worked on Marvel Puzzle Quest, and happily stopped SEGA Heroes when they got the chance.
I dunno whether it's true or not but it's kinda make sense.
Kinda shame since SEGA Heroes is probably the best puzzle battle game I've ever played.
Demiurge has used their experience from Marvel Puzzle Quest (which was already good) and make it perfect in SEGA Heroes.
The downside of digital only game.
