Sonic the hedgehog (next-gen) NEW INFO!

"..the action takes place in the maritime capital of Solieanna which is a huge sprawling metropolis surrounded by ocean."

"During the demo, I was able to see the Kingdom Valley stage running on the 360." (A name for the initial Windy Valley-like stage we've seen?)

"There are essentially two levels of speed too. The first is still really fast and represents the movement around the hub world levels and the regular stages. But second level is reserved for specific areas in the regular levels, and this is where the coined "mach speed areas" are found. The mach speed content uses a zoom-out camera perspective and some clever camera work to give a much increased sensation of speed. These stages literally look like the fastest moving sections of pretty much any action game I've ever seen."

"Each of the world stages will also contain multiple paths which can be taken to beat them. It's going to be up to the player to figure out which way best suits them; some routes being shorter and faster, while other routes might garner more items, pickups and secrets."

"The music and sound effects were classic Sonic all the way"

"Sega hinted that Sonic the Hedgehog should be shipping to coincide with the launch of the PlayStation 3, at which time it'll also be available for the 360 as well." (Damn.. I knew they wouldn't be able to make Sonic's birthday as they originally stated)

"Mention of a Sonic the Hedgehog game for the Nintendo Wii was made too, but we were informed that it would be a completely different Sonic experience than the one arriving on Sony's and Microsoft's platforms."

Interesting indeed...

If we're lucky, there might be a demo/video popping up on this game on the Xbox 360 (from the 'Download Center').

I don't mind the fact that there's religous references, because weren't there were a few in Sonic Riders as well?

I also wonder who this new character is...

I might die from excitement already... now all I have to do is pick-up a 360....

Edit: A few things to note:


Notes:
-Sonic's now about 5'10" it seems. Apparently he's at a relatively human height. Looks like he's matured.
-The plot involves a captured princess and a stolen chaos emerald due to Eggman, and "a cream-colored furry that looks remarkably like Sonic" who proclaims Sonic is the "Iblis Trigger", and will apparently be a "rival" and a playable character. Maybe this is the 4th "rival" that will appear in Sonic Rivals?
-It appears that Adventure Fields are returning in the form of "town stages".

There also appears to be religous references in here, since According to this, Iblis is the Devil in Islam, similar to the Devil in Christianity.
So, does this mean that Sonic may be a use of "triggering" the devil (Satan)?

Now THIS is interesting.

I hate that they're adding a new character, but oh well. (Playable? :\)


Robotnik redesign!? I need to see this. Though I suppose it will take time to get used to Sonic being five feet tall. I wonder how tall Robotnik will be.

Ah well, can't wait until E3. :|

 

[Blue Blood]

Playable Shadow#2, yes. I was expecting Sonic only, but oh well.
Five-foot Sonic, yes. WTF?
New Eggman design, yes. Nooo!

 

[Korobooshi Kojiro]

A furry that looks just like Sonic? Do we need another one?

And 5'"10. That's kinda creepy.

 

[Usagi]

This game sounds really interesting.But do they need to add yet another new character?I think that series has enough characters as it is...


Sonic being 5'10"?That actually sounds cool.I always did wonder how he would look like if he was taller.^^

 

[Wes]

Sonic's taller egh? Sweet it shows they're growing up even more.

 

[blaze boy]

Let see now I can do the voice of sonic, got the same shoe as him, share the same taste for speed, behave the same way as him and now he is the same hight as me!! I feel so lucky!!

Anyway this game is one reason to get an Xbox360 unless the Rev get the same game and not crap one.

(is it just me or does this game feel like that it is getting a dark story line?)

 

[Wes]

(is it just me or does this game feel like that it is getting a dark story line?)

Well we got a guy who apparently calls Sonic the devil trigger (Super Sonic maybe?), a princess who harbors a dark secret, and the fact Dr. Eggman is going to be much more evil then usual in this game.

 

[TotodileCharizard]

Wow, there might be a problem with the devil thing.....oh well. I've looked forward to new Sonic games, keep me busy since I am a fan. Sonic's taller! lol that's great........or gonna be taller.

And yet no one complained when the "Digital Dimension" level in Sonic Riders started in a hellish area and ended in heaven-like place, and then had mentions of the ancient Babylonians.

Well, hopefully people won't raise a stink about this.
I doubt they would anyway.

All those soccermoms/political people tend to target stuff that's popular and overhyped, like GTA and that shizz. =\

you do know that sonic rider isn't only sonic game that done hell and heaven, it was also done in Sonic adventure 2/battle the chao garden was base on good and bad which made it have a hell and heaven garden.

 

[Korobooshi Kojiro]

I hope they don't make this too dark, like Sonic wielding a gun! That would be terrible seeing Sonic with a gun.

 

[TotodileCharizard]

They've already made Shadow weilding guns, spears, whatever in Shadow the Hedgehog, they might like say "Hey! Lots of people liked Shadow the Hedgehog! Let's make Sonic have guns!" Yeah......oh well, I doubt they'll raise anything about the heaven and hell stuff.

 

[Usagi]

I hope they don't make this too dark, like Sonic wielding a gun! That would be terrible seeing Sonic with a gun.

I doubt that will happen.After all,he did say that he was going to use guns in the Shadow the Hedgehog game.His exact quote: "Personally,I wouldn't be caught dead using those things!".First level in that game by the way.That line made me laugh a little.^^

 

[blaze boy]

I hope they don't make this too dark, like Sonic wielding a gun! That would be terrible seeing Sonic with a gun.

In shadow the hedgehog he said "I wouldn't be caught dead using using one."
And beside using gun isn't Sonic's Style nor will sonic team will give him one.

 

[Ryusuke Hikari]

I hope they don't make this too dark, like Sonic wielding a gun! That would be terrible seeing Sonic with a gun.

...that'd never happen.

O_O Wow. I smell a dark story. << But, will it be...not-Shadow-the-Hedgehog-esque. And 5' 10"!? O_O Holy! He's taller than ME! :O ...an Eggman redesign?! WOOT! Fast levels? WOOT! This game's sounding better!

 

[Korobooshi Kojiro]

I was joking. The point is that Sega seems to want Sonic to be dark all of a sudden, I doubt they would give him guns though.

I wonder if Tails will be taller as well? Is any "classics" confirmed to be in this?

 

[TotodileCharizard]

I wonder if Tails will be taller as well? Is any "classics" confirmed to be in this?

Maybe they will, but I think they'll keep him short while Sonic grows taller and taller. I just realized Sonic is taller than me too 0_o NOOOOO! But yeah, Sonic and guns don't go together.......

 

[Usagi]

I wonder if Tails will be taller as well?

Now that you mention it,I wonder how tall will Amy be,if she makes an appearance that is....

 

[TotodileCharizard]

Wow, now my brain's moving. I wonder if they'll make everyone or almost everyone taller or look different. You know, maybe add some clothes or something.......
