Little nervous about this.
If Sega stick to this date rigidly and development of the game doesn’t go too smoothly, it could lead to a rushed title.
I agree, this game should not be rushed at all. Most involved with the developing process of Sonic 06 (360/PS3) all agree that they were not given enough time. They rushed the title out for the holiday season and developing for two systems slowed down the process even more. Lets hope this game has been in the works longer then Sonic 06, that game was a disaster.
If it has been worked on for three years as the first press release suggests then it should be about ready for November. I just hope this game is playable as Sonic 06 wasn’t in many places.
Sonic Chronicles in September and Unleashed in November… I can’t wait!
Lets just hope that’s enough time for them to make it. You can see they’re aiming for Christmas with Sonic Unleashed. My Christmas list this year is going to have these Sonic games in the content.
