Sega buys Creative Assembly

Fuck yeah, best decision Sega has made in a long motherfucking time. Rome: Total War is so insanely good. Also announced is a new Creative Assembly title for the consoles (yes, consoles), titled Spartan: Total War.

Oh, and the utterly hilarious irony that this presents to Diffx makes this so infinitely more satisfying and amusing. I would not be surprised if he stabs himself in the eyes just reading the thread title.

Go Sega. Next gen, all will be well, I never doubted you fuckers.

That they bought Creative Assembly.


And stuff (edited in new announced title in the post).

The name Creative Assembly doesn't ring a bell. What have they made?

Not sure.

Oh God no. NOOOOOOO!!! That means the Total War franchise is royally fucked. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH SEGA.

And its Total Warrior for the consoles. Not Total War.

DiffusionX is going to be pissed. It's a good move if you're trying to focus on the PC, but I fail to see how Sega is going to use this for consoles. Maybe Spartan: Total War will be awesome, who knows?

If they're making them focus only on consoles, then ya, this was probably not a great purchase.

Maybe we will hear a Dreamcast 2 announcment at E3.
