Good Lord Sega. You have Overworks.
Just tell them to quit fucking around with that Valkyria Chronicles horseshit and make a new Shinobi.
I don't think the reality is what you think it is...
Overworks Development Staff
Director: Kouichi Nomura -> Sonic Unleashed boss programmer (Sonic team)
Main/enemy planner: Takao Hirabayashi -> Sonic Unleashed lead planner (Sonic team)
Event planner: Keisuke Suzuki -> Blood Will Tell designer (left Sega?)
Artists Main/System planner: Hirotaka Kanazawa -> Altered Beast artist (left Sega?)
Character Design/Main Visual planner: Makoto Tsuchibayashi -> Vanquish character design (freelance)
Movie Director: Takeshi Matsuura -> Sonic the Hedgehog field artist (Sonic team)
Chief Director: Masahiro Kumono -> Sonic the Hedgehog producer (Sonic team)
Executive Producer: Noriyoshi Ooba -> Altered Beast executive producer (fed to wolves?)
So yeah, Overworks is gone as it is. The people making Valkyria now, are the guys from Overworks who worked on Skies of Arcadia in lead roles, along with other people from other parts of Sega. The guys who worked on Shinobi are mostly at Sonic team. How does this make you feel?
