SEGA to tease E3 line-up News

Those teasing minxes at SEGA are planning to unveil their line-up of E3 titles one by one during the run-up to next month's traditional industry elbow-in-the-face-aganza.

Starting tomorrow just after midnight Pacific Standard Time - 8am in old money - SEGA will "take gamers on a virtual road trip" on its Road to E3 website.

What it'll begin with is anyone's guess - presumably the point - but the publisher hints that it might be prepared to talk about some unannounced games from the companies it's been busy cosying up to recently.

Those include the likes of Obsidian, Petroglyph and Silicon Knights - all of whom have been busying themselves at the behest of SEGA dollars (or rings, maybe - terms weren't disclosed) - as well as recent acquisitions The Creative Assembly, Secret Level and of course Sports Interactive.

Beyond what's on the "Road to E3", we should also expect to see a number of previously announced games from SEGA at E3 - with games like Yakuza, Phantasy Star Universe, Super Monkey Ball Adventure, Chromehounds, Medieval 2: Total War, Sonic the Hedgehog next-gen, Fifth Phantom Saga, et al all likely to make an appearance in some form or other.

We'll let you know what they announce as soon as we do.

Silicon Knights are working with Sega? For some reason I'd got them down in my mind as working with Microsoft. I guess that means there's a chance that their next games will appear on machines other than the 360, then?

Silicon Knights are working on Too Human, a trilogy for the 360. I doubt we'll see anything else on other platforms for some time.

That's what I thought. I don't remember seeing their name associated with Sega before. Mishtake?

Oh, hang on. Look here!

But then they went and worked for Microsoft afterwards, it would appear. Are they still associated with Sega in some way?

Blerk, from Silicon Knight´s website:

"Most recently, Silicon Knights broke away from exclusivity with Nintendo and are now working with Microsoft on the Too Human Trilogy for the Xbox 360 and Sega on an unannounced project".

Ooh shiny shiny next-gen Shenmue mmm

Why hasn't anybody copied the Shenmue formula anyway? Its ripe for the taking and it had so many flaws to improve upon, it would be a great game!

I would really like to see Yakuza (please re-name it Sega! Like A Dragon is so much better!), Virtua Fighter 5 and PSU. Fifth Phantom Saga also could be interesting.
