SEGA having some sort of tournament

Sega Make War Not Love 4 tournament finals to take place at the PC Gamer Weekender | PC Gamer

This month Dawn of War 2, Company of Heroes 2, Total War: Warhammer and Endless Legend communities go head to head in Sega's Make War Not Love campaign. This competition pits factions against one another across four challenges starting on February 16 and culminating in a showdown in the Sega Zone at our live event, the PC Gamer Weekender, on Feb 19.

Everyone can get involved by backing a faction on the Make War Not Love site. The greater the support for a faction, the greater the prizes at the end of the event. Here are the milestones.

Feb 14: you can vote to decide which games will feature in the Sega vs. Faction event on Feb 16.

Feb 16: In Sega vs. Faction, Sega community managers battle the faction champion of the voted-for game. The faction champ fights for 50 points and Sega prize bundle 1.

Feb 17: In Art Attack each faction creates a piece of artwork that will be shared to the Make Love Not War page. The community and Sega decides which piece wins the points and Sega prize bundle 2.

Feb 18: Factions run live-streams of their games. The faction that attracts the most views and engagements takes points and Sega prize bundle 3.

Feb 19: The grand final takes place at the Kensington Olympia during the PC Gamer Weekender. Here the two leading factions face off in one another's games to find out who will take the final points and Sega prize bundle 4. The winner also unlocks "very special digital content" for their factions' title.

To celebrate the event, a bunch of Sega's games will be discounted for the duration. Total War: Warhammer will be 33 percent off; Endless Legend will be 75 percent cheaper; and the Dawn of War and Company of Heroes series will be discounted by 80 percent and 75 percent respectively.

The PC Gamer Weekender takes place on the weekend of the 18-19 of February at the Olympia. Why not come along? It's your chance to play a lot of new and unreleased games, including Dawn of War 3, For Honor and Tekken 7. Our hardware experts will be on hand to share their expertise and there will be tournaments throughout the weekend with prizes up for grabs. Book your ticket now.

Sega: Here Are The Takeaways From New Earnings Report

Like Square Enix, Sega today reported earnings for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2016. The report is not all that eye-opening, though there are some notable takeaways.

Sega's video game division, Entertainment Contents, benefited from new releases such as Football Manager 2017 and Yakuza 6 (which comes to North America in 2018), as well as continued sales of Phantasy Star Online 2. In all, Sega sold 8.13 million packaged games, up from last year (6.12 million).

In terms of smartphone games, Sega said Hortensia Saga and Puyopuyo!! Quest continued to see "robust sales."

Overall, Sega's Entertainment Contents division--which also includes arcade machines and animated movies--posted revenue of ¥155.4 billion ($1.39 billion) and operating income of ¥15.4 billion ($137 million). That's up 13.7 percent and a massive 449.4 percent respectively.

Looking ahead, Sega will release Puyo Puyo Tetris for the Nintendo Switch, while Persona 5 comes out in April; that RPG debuted in Japan last year.

Sega has multiple business units outside of gaming. Looking at them all, the company posted revenue of ¥285.7 billion (up from ¥245 billion) and a profit of ¥36.5 billion (up from ¥6.5 billion).

Keep checking back with GameSpot soon for more earnings reports, as Activision Blizzard, Take-Two, Ubisoft, and Nvidia are all scheduled to release earnings results this week.

Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap is still in production for the Playstation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC and slated to be released with a TBA 2017 release date. However for those that want an update of the game, new information has been revealed that may tantalize the fans of the Master System version. Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap will feature the ability to seamlessly change the graphics and sound to that of the Master System original. So if for whatever reason you’re not a fan of the updated art style of the remake or if you simply want a more retro flair, you at least now have the option.

In addition, Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap will support the original version’s passwords, allowing you to input cheat codes from the original game into the remake. So if you felt like it, you can get a jump start with the game with all equipment and forms available from the start. Regardless, it shows that the developers are going the extra mile to respect the original Master System version.
