Sega’s Australian development studio, once known as Creative Assembly Australia and responsible for games like Medieval II: Total War, is to be closed down. Sega confirmed the move with Kotaku today, saying the developer will be shut down “later this year”.

Was is the Australian branch that was primarily responsible for the Spartan Total War game?
Shame anyway, hopefully it doesn’t impact the Total War series (the REAL ones, not like the new spin-off coming out on touch). Absolutely love the Total War games, though admittedly I much prefer the swords and spears and arrows of the Rome/Medieval era than the boring boring boring musket / canon stand-offs of Napolean and Empire.

It wont affect total war they just helped make it they weren’t the main dev’s
-
They made Medieval 2, which is THE BEST.

Agreed, I still play M2TW all the time, like even when playing a different game (Hitman Absolution at the moment) I always have a M2TW campaign running, using either Stainless Steel mod or Third Age, depending whether I am feeling LOTR or Medieval Europe. Such a great looking game still. Interested to see how Rome2 will end up.

LOTR would be sooo good

The Brisbane studio is the studio that created the higher rated, higher selling games of the Total War series and were consistently less buggy than what the other studio pulled off so I have no idea why Sega is doing this.
*strokes his Sega Saturn and weeps a little*
You know how I know you get your ‘facts’ from the Liberal Party and their News Limited propaganda machine?
‘Here in aus we get carbon tax on virtually every little thing.’
No, we don’t. And it’s a miniscule effect that at this point in time is subsidised to the hilt. And it’s not a ‘tax’.
-
Yeah we do. Why would all people on the doll get a few bucks increase on income specificly stating to cover for the carbon tax? Don’t get me wrong I’m working and getting taxed 30%, which to me feels quiet a lot.

/facepalm

Facepalm all you want. But it all adds. Just cause something doesn’t get affected directly does not mean its not affected at all.
-
Fine its 25%, but it does still feel like 30.

-
double facepalm.
Please don’t vote until you educate yourself with something other than obvious conservative propaganda.
The carbon price affects a very small number of businesses (who are being subsidised) and the flow on from them is realistically limited.
However, you have a lot of Liberal-voting business owners who use this opportunity (as they did with the GST) to artificially hike prices and blame the ‘carbon tax’ as they know people as uneducated and gullible as yourself will believe them and blame the government while they profit.
The government has systems in place to try and punish people who do it but that relies on people being smart enough to report it – and you are proof of the large number of Australians who rely on Liberal Party propaganda for their knowledge and therefore aren’t capable of telling when they are being scammed.
Don’t worry if Abbott gets in you won’t need to worry about losing money indirectly through a mythical ‘carbon tax’, he’ll make sure you lose the money directly and clearly to the pockets of his corporate sponsors.

Like I said in the previous comment on this article. Don’t care what side wins, whoever wins we lose. I do hope you get the reference. Not hard to get.
As for the carbon tax never really payed much attention t it untill I had to translate a letter for some people about their income incraseing from the government due to something to do with carbon stuff and all.
then it got me thinking about the whole combination of gst super and hex. So yeah any idea why people on the doll would be getting the incrase specoficaly stating that its to cover the cost of green energy living?
by any chance you are an accountant or study accounting?
