In the seemingly never ending string of press releases, SEGA announces The Club for next gen systems. The Club is a collaboration between SEGA and Bizarre Creations. The release describes an underground culture where criminals are paid to stage gun battles. Spectators place bets on the outcome of these battles. Sounds kind of like Fight Club with a gangsta twist. I wonder, will players be able to wager Microsoft Points? Console gambling with real value? Doubtful, but interesting. So far SEGA has posted no media for the game.
On a side note, I’m not really sure I like the direction that SEGA is taking these days. It seems like they’re just trying to play catch up with EA. I have trust in Bizarre, but SEGA’s direction makes me nervous. However, that is a topic for another much longer post.
