While I’m well aware that finished games often rest atop a mountain of cut or heavily revised work, I’m still regularly surprised by how extensively projects can change over the course of their development. A striking example was recently provided by Halo co-creator Marcus Lehto, who revealed that Master Chief’s suit design was revised nine…
SAAY-viiings on Yakuza, Sonic, Persona. Another day, another eShop sale, and this time it’s Sega rounding out the summer holidays with a blowout across all platforms.
