IGN had the opportunity to sit down with someone from SEGA this morning at E3, where they had the pleasure to discuss 3 games being developed, including one you may have heard of, Sonic Unleashed.
Here’s a quick run down of what was discussed (Sonic Unleashed related) during the interview:
- Sonic the Werehog is not as fast as Sonic the Hedgehog.
- There are no space or pinball levels in Sonic Unleashed.
- The whole story is about the earth, so they’re sticking to the whole feel of our world.
- New moves… Sonic drift… blah, blah blah - you know, the second point here is the only thing we really didn’t already know, so I’m just going to cut things off now.
I have a feeling that we were supposed to learn more during the interview, but things got changed last minute, as IGN’s own schedule is wrong, and they definitely were not speaking with Sean Ratcliffe as they indicate on their live wire…
UPDATE: They were speaking with Tali Fischer , a PR manager from Sega of America (I think). They just updated the name… so, guess they had a problem finding Sean.
Thanks to Chaoscontrol for the heads up!
IM GOIN BACK TO BB! >.>
@G&E:
It could’ve taken place in the 8th or 9th levels, after Sonic fixed his Werehog problem (assuming that’s what happens).
I wasn’t too surprised when they confirmed that there would be no space level, because what would determine if it were night or day time? It would probably always be considered night time and that’s probably why sonic turned into the werehog right when Eggman used his macine on sonic and the emeralds.
I just did the first Pinball stage. 18 minutes. XP
I shoulda used Action Replay.
@maryt793:
Same here. I’m trying to get all A Ranks on Heroes, but I refuse to do the pinball stages again. X(
@G&E:
It’s pretty obvious, really. According to most critics, the last few console games for Sonic haven’t been very good at all. It makes sense for them to still be critical, especially because of the Werehog, which very well could turn out to be pretty mediocre if not designed well.
And besides, regardless of what they have to say about the game, I know I’m going to end up loving it, much the same as I did the Sonic game that actually drew me in to the series years ago, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle.
