relic has been purchased by SEGA...

[Brother Chewy]

well sega aint a bad company i guess...

[XVulkan He'stanX]

yeah but bethesda was second place by only $300,000 and im not sure if they would have been better

[CruciasNZ]

However no one purchased Vigil Games, who wrote the code for SM and Dark Millennium (+ Darksiders). There are also reports of SEGA in talks with GW which indicated that the Warhammer IP contract was non-transferable - resulting in a stall to DOW3

But let's face it, unless EA get the Warhammer 40K IP then whoever gets it is good for us because it's impossible to be worse than THQ was

[XVulkan He'stanX]

are you sure about vigil writing the code for SM? i know they did dark millenium but i thought that the only conection SM had to vigil was that they used the modified havoc engine that was an upgraded version of what was used for dark siders. so in my mind that would seem to tie them in with the havoc engine itself not vigil per-say, because vigils not mentioned anywhere on the back of the case for spacemarine but that could just be me being narrow minded

Sega makes good games if the fans show interest so im not all that sad about that.

i hope your right i honestly dont know what to think about this im not sure what type of games sega has done recently i mean all i think about when i hear sega is sonic so... but yeah i was hopeing that this community would have more to say on the subject.

Their more well known games are Aliens Vs. Predator, Aliens:colonial Marines which comes out next month on the 12th, Binary Domain(which was very well made but under the radar), Vanquish, and viking:Battle for asgard. All of which ive played and enjoyed thoroughly.

SEGA generally make good and popular games, I am very hopeful for the future of w40k if it falls in their hands

I'm afraid I cannot give you the proof you require, info comes to me through Apulo

[XVulkan He'stanX]

ok np just wanted to know and trying to be optimistic about relics future. oh and sega should get the warhammer 40k ip also because they already have the warhammer fantasy ip so it seems it would make sense to have both.

Thank [insert deity here]! Anyone but EA!

Sega did Phantasy Star-a huge MMO for the X-box..But you had to pay $10 a month.And it is even harder to get mmo,s on x-box cuz of the $$$ factor.I also see a problem with GW and SEga working together

agreed EA would fuck it all up with pay for play and all that.

Completely forgot about that game. Final Fantasy 11 was x360 as well. Paying for something on top of XBL hurts like hell however. Still if it was Elder Scrolls I'd pay if it was good enough

[An_A10_Pilot]

If you guys are dubious about sega making good games, all i need to say is one title to lay it to rest. one which i still play to this day.

ROME: TOTAL WAR.

I am extremely happy that Sega has picked up relic. I just hope that GW doesn't drop the ball and make some really retarded restrictions on its games and development. Now, off to play, MORE ROME! (Rome 2 comes out this year by the way. )

[Brother Agatone]

If sega produces a space marine 2 and it is shit then I'm going to want my money back and then I'm going go over to Sega's hq and bust a cap in someone's ass for turning a potentially awesome franchise into shit.

[JC 042]

You mean we were that close from Bethesda getting them!?! Damnit...

[Authrix]

Same feeling here JC, if I see sonic Marines I'll be very very ripped.

[ajar1189]

Bethesda would have been pretty awesome but sega aint too bad.

[DusteirTax]

Really as long as ea dosnt touch it were good their like the oppisite of king mittus touch of gold

[Fuzzy]

Looking at some saga titles I think if they release space marine 2 that it should be epic just for the fact that they pull off large scale battles extremely well. The futures bright lads!
