Big thanks to Das Gamer for sharing this. During their sit-down with SEGA, one of the team members got into a Sonic the Werehog costume and posed for a few shots.
The next-gen graphics look good. Sega even threw in a proprietary engine they have been working on since 2005 optimized for rendering textures at high speed. But the overall feel of the game looked a little flat despite all the speed. As a 2-D sidescroller you could at least appreciate the full size of the levels as you navigated them. There didn’t seem to be any real evolution in the game that have kept Mario fresh through the decades. In the scenes that I saw the landscape shoots past at a pace that makes the key to gameplay seem more like muscle memory than reflexes. Hats off to the Sega associate producer who put on the furry suit for a few shots. It was hot as hell in that booth.
And hats off to you Das Gamer. I know what I’ll dress up as to scare the neighborhood children come Halloween!
Note: a bigger photo can be found over at Das Gamer. Also, we’ll likely have a nice glance at the gameplay ourselves later tonight, so be sure to check back with us later!

What kind of materials do you need to make that costume?

Oh my gosh! Thats funny! LOL
hahahaha that suit is freakin funny xD i wish i had one xD
I really dig this costume, looks awsome!

I want one!! I really do! T T
I would love to have that costume to scare all the neighbors away XD I think its cute though ^.^ *huggles the werehog but gets growled at then runs away*
HaHa! Cool suit! I agree with above. If the PS2 version is bad I’m going to axe murder someone at SEGA. I’m one of those many unfortunate souls who got stuck with a PS2.
I’m getting slightly worried about the lack of Wii/PS2 promotion, screens, gameplay, ect. It’s like there’s something wrong with the Wii/PS2 version and Sega don’t want to show it. And I really want the Wii/PS2 version to be just as good as the Xbox/PS3 version(gameplay wise, I know the graphics won’t be as good) , because some of us aren’t lucky enough to own an Xbox or a PS3.
run faster in every game?
@dog@bird.net:
Sonic already goes to space on daily basis what more can he do?
(besides turn into a werehog)
I bet this can be on ebay or more of those costume on ebay cause i want his costume!
