Come up with a homebrew! Corbin , one of the leaders of the future Scourge project and we do anything you released DreamEdge, are encouraged to portage a classic like Alone in the Dark for the Dreamcast! As we said, is based on a old port made in 2000 called "Free in the Dark" from reverse engineering the original code (which received permission from the original author). The engine I-MOTION is the one based, hence can operate Alone in the Dark 1 and 2. For this to work we will be required to have the original game files AITD. For now, we note that there are still many bugs present (especially 2), and to improve the code to correct port. It is best that you see the video below so you can see the progress.

Kotaku noticed that "sonicthehedgehog-movie.com," "sonicthehedgehog-movie.net" and "sonicthehedgehogmovie.net" were registered to Sony last week, though Sony themselves have yet to announce any film adaptation of Sega's iconic mascot.
Sony Pictures Animation has created both fully-animated (Open Season) and live-action-plus-CG (The Smurfs) in the past, so it's hard to say which way a Sonic movie, should it ever be made, would go. If it's the latter, we're telling you right now Sony, making it dark and edgy - complete with Dr. Robotnik/Eggman torturing someone - has already been done.
Sonic the Hedgehog - The Movie. Coming sometime. Possibly. Running time (if it happens): fast.

- Fixed issue where some MGD files could not be added

A book detailing the history of the Sega Mega Drive has more than doubled its Kickstarter target with four days to go.
SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis: Collected Works will, according to its authors at Read-Only Memory, be "the ultimate retrospective of the SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis".
When CVG first reported on the book in early November, it had already received nearly a third of its £30,000 target in its just two days.
Now, with four days of funding remaining, the target has been smashed, with £79,256 pledged at the time of writing.
Read-Only Memory has stated that it will reinvest the extra funds in the book to increase its quality.
"I must confess I had absolutely no idea the campaign would go like this," wrote designer Darren Wall, "so I was entirely unprepared for this situation arising.
"My immediate instinct is to direct the money back at the book itself, so everybody benefits from a book with more pages, better production values (they were budgeted to be pretty darn nice already!) and even more impressive cover finishes."
Originally planned to be a 300-page hardback book with more than 35,000 words of Mega Drive information and interviews, the book will now be extended to 340 pages.
A number of new interviewees have also been announced, on top of the 23 previously confirmed. These include Greg Johnson (co-creator of ToeJam & Earl), Ed Annunziata (creator of Ecco the Dolphin), Peter Morawiec (creator of Comix Zone), Michael Latham (producer of Eternal Champions) and Rich Karpp (developer of Vectorman).
The book will be published in June 2014. Those interested in it can still pledge until Monday December 9, with a £30 pledge guaranteeing a copy.

Sega Sammy chief operating officer Naoya Tsurumi has said that Atlus is free to develop games for 'dormant' Sega IPs should it wish.
Sega acquired Atlus parent company Index Corporation earlier this year, and in a new Famitsu interview (translated by Siliconera) Tsurumi has discussed some of the benefits of the acquisition.
<figure style='font: 14px/23.79px "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; border: 0px currentColor; width: 460px; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; display: block; white-space: normal; position: relative; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;' class="responsive single-article__canvas single-article__canvas--full zoomhover" title="" data-media992="http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/dir_3097/image_309730_460.jpg" data-media768="http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/dir_3097/image_309730_700.jpg" data-media480="http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/dir_3097/image_309730_480.jpg" data-media="http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/dir_3097/image_309730_320.jpg"> </figure>In particular, Tsurumi notes that Sega has never had great success with RPGs, and that the Atlus association will reverse this.
"I believe that the addition of genres is a crucial factor," he said. "Especially with regard to the fact that Sega have never excelled in RPG titles. With consideration towards Atlus' strengths, Japanese RPGs would be a prime example [of an added benefit]."
Tsurumi also said that Atlus is free to develop games for other dormant Sega properties, which include the likes of Jet Set Radio and Sakura Wars, among others.
"While we have no intention of forcing this, we'd definitely love to have them utilize any of Sega's dormant IPs," he said.
Atlus is responsible for the Shin Megami Tensei RPG series. It will release series installment Persona 5 in 2014 along with three other associated titles for 3DS, Vita and PS3.
Sega acquired Atlus in September in a deal believed to be worth $140 million.
In a statement, Altus chief executive Naoto Hiraoka said "we are extremely happy to be able to continue with our business, and be able to report this good news to our fans and customers."

The Shenmue 3 trademark application to a European office is the latest hoax in a line of fake submissions, likely from the same person, CVG understands.
On Tuesday, an application for the Shenmue 3 trademark was filed to the Office of Harmonization for the Internal Market (OHIM), though tellingly it was not submitted to any other trademark office, and has yet to be examined.
<figure style='font: 14px/23.79px "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; border: 0px currentColor; width: 460px; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; display: block; white-space: normal; position: relative; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;' class="responsive single-article__canvas single-article__canvas--full has-caption zoomhover" title="" data-media992="http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/dir_2749/image_274921_460.jpg" data-media768="http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/dir_2749/image_274921_700.jpg" data-media480="http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/dir_2749/image_274921_480.jpg" data-media="http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/dir_2749/image_274921_320.jpg"> <figcaption style="margin: 5px 0px 0px; padding: 1em; border-radius: 0px 2px; border: 0px currentColor; left: 0px; top: auto; right: auto; bottom: 0px; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); line-height: 1.35em; font-size: 1.2rem; display: block; position: absolute; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.65098);" class="zeta caption-bl">Sega cancelled the Shenmue series back in 2003, following poor sales of its predecessor</figcaption></figure>Last week, a trademark for Fallout 4 was submitted to the OHIM but it was eventually examined by officials and discarded. In October, a bogus Half-Life 3 application appeared online but was also discarded after being examined.
A spokesperson for OHIM could not comment on individual cases, but provided CVG with documents which explained how anyone can apply for a trademark - meaning the website is exposed to fakes for a short period of time.
One key sign for all community trademark applications of this kind is a "classification examination" tick box. Until OHIM officials tick this box, the application is unverified.
Though Sega has talked down any possibilities for future Shenmue games over the past ten years, the games community has been sensitive to even the slightest possible hints that the series could return.
On Tuesday, it was confirmed that Shenmue creator Yu Suzuki has been lined up to discuss the creation of the series at the Game Developers Conference next March.
In a special one-hour session, Suzuki will discuss all aspects of Shenmue's creation, from its original prototype as a Virtua Fighter RPG on the Saturn to its eventual release on the Dreamcast.
Suzuki, who is no longer working at Sega, does not own the Shenmue IP.
Sega was unavailable to comment at the time of going to press.

It seems Sega has filed a trademark for the long-awaited Shenmue 3 video game.
A post on the NeoGAF forum contains an image of the filing which has been made on the EU trademarks and designs registration office website.
Shenmue originally arrived on the Sega Dreamcast console back in 1999, before a sequel launched in 2001. This also later hit the Xbox.
The original adventure title is regarded as one of the greatest video games on the Dreamcast but drew disappointing sales.
There has been plenty of rumour and speculation surrounding Shenmue 3 in recent years, but fans will still have to wait for any sort of official announcement from Sega.

The industry remembers the man behind Sega's last console marketing campaign
Former Sega of America vice president Charles Bellfield died in San Francisco on Friday night after an illustrious career that included a key role in the launch of the Sega Dreamcast console.
Bellfield, a UK native, began his decades-long run in the games industry at NEC Electronics with subsequent roles at Codemasters, Capcom, and motion control pioneer companies EmotionPlay and 3DV Systems.
He most recently worked at internet radio firm Pure North America after leaving gaming behind.
Bellfield rose to fame when he helped NEC Electronics get its contract with Sega for the Dreamcast, and served as Sega's spokesperson for the console's launch.
Perhaps his most important work was done when as vice president of strategic planning and corporate affairs he, along with then Sega of America president Peter Moore, helped guide the company away from hardware production after the demise of the Dreamcast to its current role as a software outfit.
His passing resulted in an outpouring of grief and fond remembrances on Twitter and Facebook, including a post from his former boss, Moore.
"Together we would take on Sony, joust with EA, and even battle with our own parent company back in Tokyo," wrote Moore (now EA's COO) in response to the Facebook post from Bellfield's brother Edward.
"All with a sense of irreverence and good natured competitive spirit that Charlie and I believed embodied what Sega needed to be about. He was smart and mischievous, with a dry humor and a classic sense of right and wrong. Long after we parted ways at Sega, we were (and are) friends to the end. He was a friend and mentor to my children."

The Dreamcast version of Pier Solar, titled Pier Solar HD, has been delayed to March 2014. Here's the update from Pier Solar HD's Kickstarter page:
We are here today with fresh news about the development stages of Pier Solar HD for you. Since all of the topics for this update are major, we decided to produce a video where Tulio talks about everything you want to know.
We hope you all will be excited with the great news we have, and most of all, we count on your kind support during the last steps of the game completion.
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...d/posts/662840
The video shows the game on two additional platforms, PS3 and PS4, and also demonstrates the possible combinations of 16-bit graphics and music and HD graphics and CD music which can be changed in game.
Interestingly, the programmer in charge of porting Pier Solar to Dreamcast, Wii U, & co. is no other than Chui, 'our' Chui of Neo4all fame!
The Dreamcast version can be pre-ordered at http://www.magicalgamefactory.com/en/factory/shop/
PS: In other news, WM is still looking for sprite artists for their SNES and Genesis games:

Continuing the trend with lots of love for anything Sega, this week we jump to December of 1996 with issue 14 of the Official Sega Saturn Magazine.
We start of with a feature on the incredible Christmas NiGHTS, then move on to an in-depth showcase for Virtua Cop 2. After all this we have not one, but two interviews. The first one is with Lobotomy Software on Exhumed, while the second one talks to Sega AM#3 about the Saturn conversion of Virtual On. And finally we look at two reviews: Daytona USA CCE and Virtua Cop 2.
