Sumo Digital Lets One Out at SoS Q&A
The 2009 Summer of Sonic convention is wrapping up right now in London, and we have late word in to TSSZ News from several accounts that the Sumo Digital developers on hand for the event have let one cat out of the bag inadvertently.
According to several accounts–notably those who listened to the Q&A stream online, NiGHTS from NiGHTS into Dreams is planned to be on the final character roster for Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing. Details on the confirmation are sketchy, other than that the disclosure was not planned, and that the inclusion, if it holds, is the by-product of developers asking for feedback from Sega fans and fan sites.
This is the big news out of a series of new details coming out of the Summer of Sonic Q&A session with Sumo Digital today. A recording of the interview has just been made available, and we will have that for you shortly. Also, our UK based TSSZ News team was at the convention today. The Internet connections there are a bit spotty, but their impressions are coming throughout the weekend. In the interim, we have a shot of Bentley Jones performing at SoS via our Twitter feed.

That’s a fail for Sumo Digital. but anyways, its standard for a SEGA Superstars game to include NiGHTS
all those nights fans from the NID’s website will rest in peace now ^^ i wonder what he will be driving though?
Opps…
Aww yeah NiGHTS made it in! But then it wouldn’t be a SEGA Superstars game without NiGHTS, right?
I’m not suprised at all. Just like with Knuckles. They are almost confirmed from the beginning. They have to be in the game. And if they’re not… itäs just strange.
Who honestly DIDN’T think NiGHTS would make it in?
I hope Metal Sonic is i n the game to, as a unlockable character or something, in the stroy final race we should play against him to unlock him, it would be pretty cool if SUMO/SEGA could do that
This just in: Sonic confirmed to be in next Sonic game.
No shocker here.
@ soul
….ME!!!
lol jk ;]
What’s the point of not announcing all these characters? It’s really not that big of a deal — this is just some typical SEGA spinoff. This isn’t Halo.
i wonder if each character will have alternate vehicles like in sonic riders(kinda)?
@Chaos: I heard there weren’t, it’s just going to be the vehicles they’re in, but maybe we’ll see in the final product.
HAHAHAHA just like Ness, Lucario & Jigglypuff being found playable in Brawl
I saw somebody mention Metal up top there, which put a weird idea in my head. Wouldn’t it be cool to have a track based on Metal Madness? Driving in the sky (its a videogame) and watching Super Team Sonic bash the living daylights out of Metal (its a videogame)
Well, i don’t know who was giving you this info but they did not ‘accidently’ confirm NiGHTS in the Q&A session. I was there, the only thing they did say about NiGHTS was that the NiGHTS fanbase had been light-heartedly pestering them to put NiGHTS in and they were making a joke about ordeal at Summer of Sonic.
I was partly responsible for the NiGHTS Community contacting Sumo Digital about NiGHTS’ inclusion in the game and i spoke to Steve directly at Summer of Sonic. At no point was NiGHTS accidently confirmed. The only type of confirmation (if you would even want to call it that) they gave is the fact that they spoke of NiGHTS in reference to us contacting them about putting NiGHTS in and made a few jokes about it.
Unless someone actually said NiGHTS in, i don’t think any solid confirmation has been given yet.
■TailstheHedgehog@: Yhe Tails (I’ve been the one you mentioned Metal Sonic) that was kind of my ideia too, I like it very mutch you’r ideia is soo cool, I HOPE SEGA DOES THAT
i hope there night stages and i like the graphic they made looks nice on xbox360.
Didn’t really need conformation; it’s really a given.
Yeah, I saw this on the live stream. That is no surprise. I wanna hear about new Sega characters. All we’ve heard are the same ones from SST and SR/SRZG.
@DiGi, TSSZ: I don’t know whether the Sumo guys did mention NiGHTS as a PC or not (and I don’t care to listen through nearly 9 minutes of stuff to find out), but here’s the stream in question: http://www.w00ty.com/media/tss/sos/sumo-qa.mp3
(Try to ignore the annoying piano screensaver that ruined the broadcast -_-)
Don’t worry Digi, NiGHTS will be playable.
