Stars of tomorrow: seven devs who are hiring for next gen projects

OXM UK - "Guess who LOVES reading job ads? Absolutely right: videogames journalists! No, that's not because we're all permanently dissatisfied with our lots and/or on the brink of getting fired for half-inching whiskey from the office medicine cabinet, though both those things are certainly true. It's because makers of videogames often mention their forthcoming projects in job ads, and we do so love forthcoming projects."

Loved Ecco on Megadrive/Genesis. Diving out of the water was always a fun feeling, and the whole 'vibe' while playing/exploring was pretty chill and special.

Always hoped we'd get a proper 3D sequel with modern-tech water-graphics and physics. (Same wish for Wave Racer btw).

It was pretty chill until you get to the last 2 or 3 levels. My god Welcome to the Machine was brutal.

You can always play an emulated Ecco: Defender of the Future on Flycast, or if you have a real Dreamcast play it there.

This makes me smile. I hope that the game and especially the soundtrack keep the same relaxed vibe.

That is amazing news. Keep it level based or metroidvania but dont go the roguelike route and it should be good.

Now do Shining Force, the small but passionate fanbase wants a new game so badly.

That brings me back. I know I have a couple copies on Sega consoles but they’re in a box somewhere.
I may check out a new game if done well
