SEGA has recently gone and confirmed rumours that Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode II is in the works and readying for release across consoles and mobile devices this year.
The rumours were swirling with maximum velocity, but SEGA has finally confirmed that Sonic Generations will see a release on Nintendo’s 3DS with exclusive new features, alongside the already announced Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the blue speedster’s next outing.
There hasn’t been an abundance of great platformers this generation, which is strange considering how well suited current console technology is to delivering a fast, responsive, surface-hopping experience.
Sonic Generations should tip the scales in the right direction when it comes to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 during the latter part of this year. There are also unconfirmed rumours roaming the internet that 3DS and PC versions of the title are in the works.
If you’ve been wondering how the gameplay in Sonic Generations will operate, then the two trailers below are essential viewing. Heck, if you’ve ever enjoyed a platformer in the past then do yourself a favour and watch Sonic work his magic in the famous level “Green Hill Zone.”
Is it just me or is 2011 an awesome year for us gamers who grew up during the nineties? Mortal Kombat has been re-imagined for HD consoles to stunning effect; there’s a Tomb Raider prequel being developed by the talented team at Crystal Dynamics; and Sonic Generations has recently been announced to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Mega Drive hit Sonic the Hedgehog.
Late last week SEGA teased Sonic fans of the world with a trailer for an upcoming game widely believed to be the next high-definition outing for the blue speedster.
Today, SEGA has gone and neatly confirmed these beliefs by officially announcing Sonic Generations, a new 2D and 3D platform game for both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, due for release this holiday season.
From the looks of the debut trailer and screenshots for Sonic Generations, we may just be able to get excited for this one (“Don’t start that again!” – My Conscience):
SEGA has just released a teaser trailer for the next PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 Sonic game to give us a clue about the blue speedster’s upcoming escapades.
The video features Sonic racing around what looks to be an arctic or concrete version of a traditional Sonic environment, dashing through loop-the-loops, jumping up ledges and careening into caves.
But what’s that other character joining him? Is that a… baby Sonic? Find out:
