As several of our viewers pointed out recently, SEGA has released a fact sheet from their Gamer Day back in May, complete with promotional buzzwords and other worthless & already known awesome new details!
I really don’t see anything worth highlighting in the document myself, but if you haven’t been keeping up with us, it’s probably worth looking through. You can download it off the SEGA PR FTP server, or simply read the juicy parts below:
Overview
Sonic is on a race against time… as the sun sets, a new adventure awakens!
Sonic Unleashed will launch players on a revolutionary high-speed adventure through a world torn by chaos. Powered by the all-new “Hedgehog Engine,” Sonic Unleashed merges classic Sonic gameplay with the latest in next-generation innovation. It launches players on a journey across the globe and merges blistering 2D action with picturesque 3D environments. Sonic Unleashed delivers an expansive world with seamless 3D to 2D transitions and branching pathways, as well as dynamic viewpoints and a series of enhanced speed mechanics to help Sonic navigate the world.
With an exciting new storyline where day and night play drastically different roles, Sonic Unleashed will send Sonic on an unforgettable quest to save a dying world from the maniacal Dr. Eggman. Players find that Dr. Eggman continues on his mission for domination, but this time he’s upped the stakes by causing a catastrophic event that breaks apart the world and unleashes a slumbering beast that alters Sonic in unexpected ways. It is up to Sonic to use his newfound abilities to connect the remnants of a shattered world by finding the lost chaos emeralds. With the world divided and Sonic facing distinctly complex challenges, including new abilities and powers, the stage is set for a climactic battle for Sonic to save the world… and himself!
Key Features:

Unleashed Speed: Avoid obstacles instantly using “Quick Step” without losing speed. Players can also use “Sonic Boost” and accelerate to supersonic speed by quickly collecting rings and increasing “Ring Energy” level.

Unleashed Environments: The splintered world of Sonic Unleashed delivers a massive playground where players can choose an array of paths when jetting through each stage. Each unique route offers different encounters with varying rewards and obstacles.
Like I said, nothing groundbreaking here, but hey… E3 is just a short ways away!
That “Sonic World Adventure” rumor was squished pretty quickly
Just posted about it for the masses:

I’d appreciate it if we move all Renaming, Name Speculation, and Name Calling over to that post
I am thinking of a SR like tiltle as a possibility.
Sonic and the …
You know what I mean
But that type of title I would dislike for this game.
thanks for telling
yeah dont feel bad for that.Well if they are going change the title someday i would like it was sonic adventure 3
And I am glad about the name.
Perhaps there can be another name in the future?
Don’t feel bad about it,but you can better save it until it becomes relevant again.
*FALSE ALARM*
Sonic Unleashed is still the name. Sorry for the confusion!

dragonite@:
i have sonic battle and i feel kind of sad that Emerl died in there.he was a good character and i like to play with him in another game that ´s why, doesnt mather anymore…..i will not talk about that again…….
Sonic World Adventure?! heck no! UNLEASHED sounds Way better! and lol to “Sonic: Eggman awakens something bad 3″ thats the best title eva! xD
eh yeah…
I am not angry at your opinion but..
How many times are you going to state it?
It is almost like a catchprase for you now…
i think that Emerl should appear in this game
it shoud be called
sonic:eggman awakens something bad 3
If the game is about to put another title i think sonic unleashed will sound better because that THE BEAST WAS UNLEASHED TO THE WORLD AND IT WAS UNLEASHED SOMETHING ON SONIC ´S BODY SOMETHING LIKE WEREWOLF.Well that ´s the reason and sonic adventure 3 will sound really good because(like you said BLAKE):
Sonic Adventure 1: Eggman wakes up Chaos a creature intent on destroying the world.
Sonic Adventure 2: Eggman wakes up Shadow a hedgehog intent on blowing up the world.
Sonic Adventure 3: Eggman wakes up some sort of evil monster thing a creature intent on shattering the world.I WOULD LIKE EVERYONE TO COMMENT THIS IF HIS RIGHT OR NOT!maybe i can understand your reasons!!!!!!!!
Sonic World Adventure?! I could live with it, but Sonic Adventure 3: Unleashed sounds way better!
Hey, admin. The whole “Sonic World Adventure” thing is starting to seem like the real deal. Take a look at this.

The person is a writer from SegaOn, and he says the name is real, it wasn’t supposed to be leaked since Sega of Japan had an embargo on it.
It isn’t a 100% confirmation, but the evidence so far strongly suggests Sonic World Adventure is the final name.
GOOD!we have some more details about the game.Keep up the work SEGA!!!!!!
No, I’ll be writing everything myself, unless some other talented writers step up and help contribute. I’m not especially keen on writing a complete walkthough actually, since there are lots of sites that can do that just fine, but I will do everything in my power to have a complete guide for all the secrets, rewards, achievements, unlockables, etc, here first. I have quite a bit of experience at those sorts of guides.
It also largely depends on how the game plays. It’s hard to say exactly what I’m going to write about before we know what the game is entirely about.
The curse of being a top news site isn’t it?
Well,don’t mind them TO much.
This place will have the news in most cases early,and this site has a reputation now.
About the release..
Are you going to write a full guide yourself,or are you asking somebody on gamefaqish sites if you may host their guide?
The kid who claims it was real also is posting tons of our articles on his site. He’s playing dumb now like I’m making some sort of mistake, when I have two identical IP address sitting in front of me.
Heheh…
This had me chuckling.
A bland logo with a oblivously cutted in sonic and shadow(who has’t a main role at all..hopefully.)
We know the term for this right?
FAIL :p
