Sega developing films and TV shows based on Altered Beast, Golden Axe, Crazy Taxi, more

 

altered_beast.0.0.jpg

 

Sega is working to develop its classic video game franchises, including Shinobi, Golden Axe, Altered Beast, Virtua Fighter and Crazy Taxi, into feature films, television shows and digital series, the company announced through its production arm, Stories International.

 

Stories International is a joint venture between Sega and Japanese advertising agencyHakuhodo DY Group. The subsidiary controls 40 Sega intellectual properties, including the aforementioned game franchises, as well as Streets of Rage and Rise of Nightmares.

 

The group named Evan Cholfin, formerly of Break Media, as head of development and production for the company's film, television and digital division. At Stories, Cholfin will focus on adapting Sega's video game properties into live action and animated movies, TV series and other digital entertainment.

Stories says it's "looking to partner with the major studios, A-list producers and filmmakers to adapt these properties."

 

Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog property is currently being tapped for an animated series,Sonic Boom. The company's The House of the Dead franchise was previously adapted for an Uwe Boll-directed feature in 2003.

 

Other game publishers have worked for years to adapt their video game properties into feature films, including Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell; Sony Computer Entertainment's Uncharted and Shadow of the Colossus; Konami's Metal Gear Solid; and Electronic Arts' Mass Effect and Dead Space.

it's back! and not in pog form

 

 

ATGames has released some subpar versions in years past (mostly outdated emulators with poor sound), but this one doesn't look bad...timing seems a bit off there but they've got time to sort it, and god knows even android based ones apparently run well these days.

 

features like the rewind button really interest me, but for so many consumers without upscalers/old CRT TV's, just having a way to output in 16:9 & 720p and not have the image stretched to look like butt sounds really cool for the average consumer too. pretty excited for this one!

 

 

also hoping they make the box solid black with lines thorough it like the old style

more or less, yeah - most of their first party catalog, few 3rd party but looking at what virtual console gets, it's clear they could make agreements for more...then again, i'd think their steam catalog would benefit from that first. speaking of, Arrow Flash is great, really interesting to see that here.

 

there's no Landstalker, or ToeJam & Earl - the latter they finally worked out a deal with the creator for steam/etc collections, no idea why it's not here. i'm not even seeing Sonic 3, which i'd heard could be tricky to emulate...but there's Sonic & Knuckles. Gain Ground, Ristar & Crackdown are nice additions, but you're right, it's much of the same batch you get in their many other collections. curious that Shinobi III & Shadow Dancer are here, but Revenge of Shinobi isn't.

It really will come down to emulation for me, but I've also got most of my genesis titles and there's a million used old school game stores in Austin I can go to to pickup titles as well so the ability to play those on an HD screen almost makes this a system seller for me.
