The should consolidate all the teams and rename Sega "Wambit"

Cinematice Online Games sounds very promising for Shenmue fans.

This pops up?!?

Lucas... this doesn't make any sense.

So are you saying that members are being rearranged even though smilebit still exists?

see, the new AV is in charge of making games that utilize cut scenes, and the new Smilebit is in charge of sports game. simple as that. shouldn't of been that hard to understand. i did say other studio after all.

More than that, thier 'Let's make a...' series is one of Sega's most popular franchises in Japan, and unlike Visual Concept's sports efforts, have always yielded a profit. Heck, they might be the only Smilebit games to make more than they cost.

You're not getting one. Smilebit already said no in an interview they did for Play magazine.

I was thinking more along the lines of Sega ruining Amusement Vision by sticking Smilebit in it.
