SEGA gets angry, announces Incredible Hulk

SEGA has today confirmed that it is working with developer Edge of Reality on the newest home videogame adaptation to feature the world’s best-known green-skinned beast... no, not Chris Leigh with alcohol poisoning... The Incredible Hulk.

The news follows a chat between Edge of Reality's Mark Nau and Gamasutra, in which Nau explained that the firm were working on a title with both SEGA and Marvel, one he described as a "big opportunity." Amaze Entertainment is being lined up for the game's handheld version of the same game.

The newest Incredible Hulk film will be released in cinemas in June 2008, so there's a long time yet before gamers get to cause masses of havoc in metropolitan environments as the powerful comic book character, first unleashed by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1962. GamerSquad has a feeling that the U.S. Army and police forces are already in preparation for bouts of long, unpaid overtime.

The last Hulk-inspired videogame, 2005’s The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction was (somewhat surprisingly, considering the release of so many forgettable Marvel-based efforts) a very enjoyable experience, so we've high hopes for the Hulk's first next-generation outing.

It better be good, y'know? You don't want to make GamerSquad angry. You wouldn't like us when we're angry.

Sega you have let me down time and time again. The only thing that has ever come out of sega was 1. Sonic the hedgehog and 2. Saturn Nights. The only thing that is consistent with their poor decision making is the amount of hype they produce before any release. Sega how about you stop crying wolf and focus on something that will impress consumers in the next gen gaming market. I am predicting below average graphics, mediocre gameplay, and another great advertising campaign to sucker consumers into buying garbage.
