Sonic The Hedgehog is expected to ship on multiple platforms in conjunction with the character's 15th anniversary in 2006. The game will be developed under the direction of Yuji Naka, award-winning developer known for creating the hugely successful SEGA franchise.
With an innovative combination of art, physics and game design, SEGA and Mr. Naka expect to create the most intense sensation of speed ever experienced in videogames. SEGA hopes the reinvention of this popular franchise will thrill both the long-time Sonic fans as well as a new generation of gamers with the exciting speed and action only possible on next-generation platforms.
Watch this new trailer of Sonic The Hedgehog made of cut scenes and gameplay footage.
In an interview, SEGA Sound Team lead composer Tomoya Ohtani revealed that Sonic’s global music success didn’t come from chasing trends overseas.
I think this is how Japanese devs need to think. Catering to the west is a terrible idea. I personally, seek out Japanese developed games because they bring a unique experience to gaming. They just stand out more that way.
What do you mean when you say this is how they 'need to think'. I understand the idea of wanting to do them without worrying about Western sensibilities but I also think a Japanese dev can do whatever the hell they want. They don't have to 'think' the way some westerner in a forum says they have to think. You think you are giving someone a compliment but you are really being weird. Its not about who you are but what you do. Last year's GOTY was a western studio that made a JRPG. You didn't see any Japanese people claim that a studio in a Western company had to think a certain way. And yes, I do understand thats not what you were saying but I think we should always challenge our own viewpoints. Personally I have love the unique experiences that devs in Japan bring and I agree they don't need to cater to Western sensibilities. I only take issue with you saying how they need to think. Thats dangerous.
What he’s referring to is when a company like Atlus does a game and one of the characters per se ; call one of the other kids a retard , they shouldn’t have to censor the final product because of snowflakes all the way in America that are constantly ranting on twitter . None of these folks are real fans and only look for stuff to cry about . If you start pandering too much they end up taking more than a leg and an arm . Japanese humour is so funny but I hate when it’s censored because of “ western sensibilities “
Everyone understood the meaning behind the message but you. “I think” you need to go to the mirror, look yourself in the eyes call yourself an idiot sandwich.
The sonic music is iconic the mega drive games were some of the best on the system but i wouldn't say they were free of western influence especially since 3 was composed in part by Michael Jackson
But honestly most of the crush 40 soundtrack music lives in my head rent free
Uhhh that's a strange thing for him to say. Even in the interview he admits to listening to a lot of western music.
I think its strange that the topic of Western catering comes up with Sonic at all. Sometimes things just are what they are.

The popular Sega franchise, Sonic the Hedgehog, has been really successful in recent years, forging paths for the recent upcoming titles.
Again very pretty CGI clips and horrible in-game. It's the same as Shadow the Hedghog, fill the gaps with beautiful cutscenes and have the rest in muddy dull visuals. I definately wouldn't call this next gen, 'way to go' to celebrate the 15th anniversary.
I mean by now we shouldn't be seeing much of a difference between the CG and in-game in titles like this
...was the smoke in the CGI, it was NICE lookin'. :P
i sooo want this to be a good game! but i know im going to be let down, sega get some propper quality controll or die...cos your games are starting to suck @rse
This is my gift to you all. Wow, this is Sony's marketing scheme rolling out of the door. The President of EA said Sony was good at it, well they are. My purpose for telling this is not to stir wars but to excite people. Only the people buying a PS3 should watch it or them. No more waiting. Go to www.playb3yond.com
click on the word smarter or capacity and be prepared to enjoy. Have fun guys like Jin, Dj, and many more Just go ALREADY.
I did not like the Sonic demo that hit the marketplace last month. Just like when Sega dropped the ball on the Full Auto demo, the Sonic demo took this from a must buy to a wait and see.
