Sega has opened up on its secretive “Super Game” initiative, and rather than one game, it looks to be encapsulating to several different games, some of which will include cloud and NFT technology. In an interview with Sega Japan’s recruitment website and translated by our friends at VGC, several Sega executives explained that to qualify under the Super Game banner, the new projects must be “multi-platform, global multi-language development, simultaneous worldwide release, and AAA titles”. “In other words, you can imagine that the scale of game development will be that of a global blockbuster,” Sega explained.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has only been out a couple of days, but players are already getting creative with some of its quirks. For example, you can’t kill children in the game – and players have found that by chaining lightsaber attacks against these invulnerable younglings, you can essentially levitate and hover to places you’d normally struggle to reach. Specifically, people are beating up little Episode 1-era Anakin Skywalker, who will simply glow red from repeated lightsaber damage. (Normally, whacking your party members with lightsabers sends them tumbling apart into their Lego components.) Read more Source – eurogamer.net…
