SEGA News! Various titles and Sonic

Here's some news concerning upcoming Sega games!
First up a little trailer for Renegade Ops. A top-down action game sheduled for September:

It's beind developed by new partner Avalanche Studios.
There will be a lot of various vehicles to play with, playable up to 4 players... Lots of missions to go through, etc...



Looks decent to me!
Reminds me of good ol' fashioned arcade games.


Here's some new screens of Griptonite Games take on the Shinobi franchise!

This one's sheduled for November 11 on Nintendo 3DS.
It looks...well honestly not that great. Though in motion, it seems it will be better.
It reminds me of how early PSP games looked like. Hope it's at least half as fun as those~


Speaking of 3DS, here's some new screens of CRUSH 3D.

This pseudo-Sequel/Remake is still being developed by PSP's Crush developers, Zoë Mode.
This great and fun 2D/3D hybrid platformer is aimed to a later February 17 release date.




And finally, Sonic Generations!
First, some pics of the classic "Mushroom Hill" stage from Sonic & Knuckles, reimagined for the 3DS portable version of Generations:

Woah! I'm getting all so nostalgic! :)
Looking great there^__^


And now a new trailer, letting us glimpse at some new locations amongst the already revealed levels.
Amongst them...could it be... Sonic Heroes' first stage Seaside Hill, Spagonia from Sonic Unleashed.. and more!





Two Sonics! Two Tails! Time travel!


Even love the music there :'3
Retro-ysh, in a sort of modern way~

Gamin' NEWS! Crush 3D!

Sega just revealed some details about the upcoming Crush 3D, a sequel to a 2007 platformer that was released on the PSP.

First of all, small recap.
In 2007 Zoë Mode developed Crush, a pretty smart and ingenious platformer that perfectly combined a sidescrolling gameplay (in 2D) with a 3D gameworld. It was sort of a puzzle game, a Rubik's cube and a 2D/3D hybrid platform game all rolled up into one.

They're working on a Nintendo 3DS sequel, which will offer "new locations" and "new characters" as the press release implies (and probably the return of some remade levels).

It looks like the first game's main character and the original comic book art direction will be both replaced. The new hero looks kinda...generic, but hey, maybe the plot will be as good as the original!
And the new art style is full of colors (no doubt to play a bit with the 3D), kinda remembers me old Dos sidescroller, or what a modern take on those would look like.

Here's some pics now:

Looks great, it's fun to see a new hero take on the "bathrobe" and how he's gonna explore his own mind in this title. (which was the point and the plot of Crush)



The game's expected for a September 9, 2011 release.

I admit, I kinda miss the first game's amazing comic book-styled art direction and Psychonauts-like vibe...
