This may be old, but its dated today

SEGA(R) of America, Inc. and SEGA(R) Europe Ltd. today announced a partnership with Secret Level, a San Francisco-based development studio, to recreate a classic SEGA franchise for PlayStation(R)3 (PS3) computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360(TM) video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.

Wonder what classic franchise they're working on

 

[op_ivy]

secret level... sounds familiar. someone help me out, what games have they made in the past?

 

[monchi-kun]

what has secret level done? that should give you a clue. Normally when devs want to license out an internal IP to a developer they usually take into account their portfolio or genre expertise.

 

[sangreal]

According to their website they did the America's Army ports for PS2/Xbox, Karaoke Revolution and Magic the Gathering: Battlegrounds for xbox. Oh, and some Star Wars starfighter games + UT for DC

So yeah, still no clue

[Ruzbeh]

Wait a minute. Is Sega a JAPANESE developer?

 

[monchi-kun]

okay so they've done FPS as well as space combat




SPACE HARRIER!!!!

 

[Wario64]

the only sega game i see from Secret Level is Unreal Tournament for Dreamcast

 

[Ghost]

Its Shenmue 3.

 

[Andy787]

Its Shenmue 3.

:lol

They're doing the new Final Fight game for Capcom, too... new Steets of Rage?

Looks like they're working on a PSP project as well.

 

[PhatSaqs]

Sega game + not exclusive + not a sports game + not a sonic game = bomb.

 

[impirius]

"Western plans"?

"classic franchise"?

Must be Time Traveler

 

[DECK'ARD]

<prepares for another Final Fight style disaster>

Just what is going with the Japanese teams? Have the all been put to work on arcade titles? Apart from PSU there doesn't seem to be anything going on!

 

[Baconäger]

Uh oh no Revolution versions.

 

[The Main Event]

Uh oh no Revolution versions.

And we thought they learned their lesson this generation.

 

[boutrosinit]

*cough*S.O.R*cough again*

 

[Jacobi]

I think it is a new Panzer Dragoon game

 

[Geek]

They're doing the new Final Fight game for Capcom, too... new Steets of Rage?

OH GOD NO.

 

[sammy]

I think it is a new Panzer Dragoon game

speaking of, what's 'SmileBit' been up to??

 

[element]

secret level is awful

 

[Danj]

"Western plans"?

"classic franchise"?

Must be Time Traveler

Doesn't have to be a U.S. "classic franchise" does it? Personally I'm hoping it's the long-awaited English-language Sakura Taisen announcement...

 

[sangreal]

Well the full description, from their employment page is:

Secret Level's PS3 / Xbox 360 original technology based game that will revisit a classic Sega IP historically unavailable to western developers.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Given their action pedigree, I'd say it's something along the lines of Alien Syndrome.

 

[Mr_Furious]

Brace for disappointment

 

[8bit]

It's Nights.

 

[Andy787]

They're making the new Skies of Arcadia.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Brace for disappointment

Altered Beast 2

 

[midnightguy]

I guess it isn't any of the Sega IP that I was hoping for

 

[jarrod]

speaking of, what's 'SmileBit' been up to??

Let's Make Games and Virtua Striker.

 

[midnightguy]

Altered Beast 2

well, 15 years ago in EGM

from this, I take it that Altered Beast 2 was in the making for the Megadrive - Genesis but like many games, was scrapped along the way.
