First up was the announcement that yes indeed, there is a next-generation
Sonic game in the works. Billed as a "re-invention" of the classic
franchise, Sonic the Hedgehog will make its debut on the PlayStation 3 and
Xbox 360 sometime during 2006.
Presiding over the game's development will be none other than Yuji Naka,
who, along with character designer Naoto Ohshima, created the original Sonic
game for the Sega Genesis in 1991. According to Sega, Naka will "create the
most intense sensation of speed ever experienced in videogames" with "an
innovative combination of art, physics and game design."
"We are proud to re-create our famous friend, Sonic, for a new generation of
gamers on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360," said Naka. "With Sonic the Hedgehog,
we have gone back to our starting point, more than 15 years ago, to reinvent
the attitude and speed that made our hero a legend. The 'rebirth of Sonic'
will offer an unparalleled sense of speed that is only possible using the
processing power afforded by the new systems."
Sega also had good news for Xbox, GameCube, and PlayStation 2 owners. The
company announced that Sonic Riders, a new game that "integrates extreme
sports, high-speed racing and head-to-head battles," will ship in winter
2006 for all three platforms.
However, Sonic Riders' racing won't involve cars, motorcycles, or
Wipeout-esque hovercraft. Instead, players will assume the role of one of
several characters riding air boards in an international competition that
will pit Sonic and his cohorts against the nefarious Dr. Eggman's team, The
Band of Thieves: Babylon. The winner of the contest--which will support up
to four players--will take home the fabled Chaos Emerald.
