Empire Get Bass
British publisher signs deal for PC versions of Get Bass and Sega GT
British publisher Empire Interactive have announced that they have signed a deal with Sega to publish PC versions of the surprisingly popular fishing sim "Get Bass" and motor racing game "Sega GT" in Europe. Both titles are being converted from the Dreamcast originals by Sega, and will be available on this side of the pond some time in July. In the case of Get Bass the game will be released both as a stand-alone and bundled with a force feedback fishing rod controller.
The announcement follows the recent decision by Sega to focus on what they do best - game development - and to support multiple platforms. It's not the first Sega game that Empire have signed up either - they have already released a PC version of "The Typing of the Dead" (a bizarre mixture of touch-typing tutorial and zombie blaster), and recently revealed that they will be publishing a PC version of arcade hit "House of the Dead 2" in March, complete with optional light gun controller. As Empire CEO Ian Higgins said, "it's great to extend our relationship with Sega and add two further high quality titles to our line up for this year".
