Says His Words “Were Misinterpretations”
In our original article regarding the alleged hints of upcoming Sonic fare from a Sega Mexico representative, we quipped that the domestic community ought to bring the country’s reps in line, given the magnitude of what may have been disclosed in a Blit.com.mx piece yesterday.
How right that remark may have been. About three hours after our story was published, we received an E-Mail via the News Tips system from the man himself, Jose Saucedo. He confirmed his role with Sega to us, and then asked that we retract our story.
“I want to tell you that the comments on the chat that I made yesterday were misinterpretations by the users and listeners from the website,” Saucedo said, referring to last night’s chat that included numerous citations of his words, of which both we and the original website who broke the story, Sonic Paradise, have primary source details of, including direct chat log quotes and context. For reference, Sonic Paradise has since removed their original story, and we never overtly treated the material as confirmed.
“The information given on your note is not true since I’ve no access to this kind of information in any way,” Saucedo continued.
When Sonic Generations was messily revealed to the world as Sonic Anniversary in October, representatives at Sega Spain made a similar about-face. Generations would make its formal public splash about six months later.
Though Sonic Paradise has removed their story, we’re not so convinced. As an example, why Saucedo would talk about alleged bonus stages for the console editions of Sonic Generations and also claim a playtest in the works Mexico’s north when he knows nothing about the game simply doesn’t make sense. But to be sure, we’ve clearly re-labeled the original story as rumor. We will keep tabs. If you know anything and can clear the air, you’re encouraged to send a news tip.

That header image is so much win.
Something tells me this was gonna happen, when I saw all this unfolding on Twitter last night.
Ha, looks like someone’s in trouble. There’s no way those could’ve been ‘misinterpretations’.
That image…..awesome
@Pointlessname: Indeed. Sonic Adventure 3DS is way too much of a big thing to just be a “misinterpretation”.
I say Jose Saucedo was giving real information, but then got in trouble with SEGA for revealing info so early. How else would he know about bonus stages in Sonic Generations before any one else?
How else would he know about Sonic Adventure 3DS, is the biggest question of all here.
Lovin’ the header….
Just saying, HE DID NOT ACTUALLY CONFIRM SA3DS LIKE THE OTHER TWO GAMES, HE ONLY SAID A 3DS ADVENTURE WOULD BE A “good idea”.
Not to mention there maybe some truth to the Tails game thing. Just before Sonic Boom, we arrived and got blasted with a question by someone who I THOUGHT was a Club Nokia rep asking us what we thought about Tails getting his own game. That’s rather coincidental….
I bet Paco is now officialy fckd for making those public
NOTHING in the Generation’s demo files hints at a bonus/special stage, said demo contains mentions of everything from side-missions, bosses, to every level in the game including the “DLC” Casino Night Zone pinball minigame.
>Mexico
Well there’s your problem!
lol you guys are really dull. The guy says ‘I didn’t confirm SA3DS’ and everyone goes like ‘THAT CONFIRMS SA3DS’.
…wtf.
I would have to agree with everyone who think there may be some truth in what he said because remember the last time they made a so called “misinterpretation”? The last time they said that it was about the 20th anniversary Sonic game being about Sonic going through old stages in 3D and then they came back talking about they were misunderstood and about 5 months later we see Sonic generations which was exactly what they were talking about.
And now they give us a lot of info on the game and there saying the it was “a misinterpretation”….. -_- I smell some bull crap here…. *cleans off shoe* yup! It’s bull crap.
…that headline image is priceless.
well sega of mexico its a failure
@LOL! …you mean “dense”?
Yeah well they said the same thing about Generations as well as it having a 3DS and PC port…and we know EXACTLY what came of that.
I wish they’d stop it with the “OMGSONIC” face -_-. . .
We can always count on SEGA of Mexico to give reveal a game to us half a year earlier then anyone else.
LOL that face again xD. ah, never gets old.
yup, he’s fcked all right…
Hey here’s a challenge..see if Sega mexico has an ftp site and if anyone finds anything interesting on there post it lol.
SEGA NEEDS SA3 DESPERATELY IF IT EVER WANTS TO SAVE THE SONIC FRANCHISE!!!!!!!!!! DONT GIVE US FALSE HOPE SEGA!!!!!! EVERYBODY WHOS A TRUE SONIC FAN WANTS SA3!!!!!!!!
@CJohnsonSA3
Oh stop it already. And enough with that true fan crap.
The header.
SA3DS would be pretty awesome, but why would mention of a Tails centric game trigger thoughts of an Adventure 3?
I’ve always liked the story book series, if it exists, hopefully it has competent controls.
Lastly, the only new All-stars game I’m interested in is Nintendo All-stars (Super Smash Bros.)
@SonicGo!
‘Dull’ can be used in the same way as ‘dense’, it is the opposite of ‘bright’ after all. LOL! had it’s use right.
Adventure fans are far more annoying the Retro fanbase: they’re far more loud and obnoxious.
I dare someone to prove me wrong.
@Haru
I am adventure fan. Yes I want SA3 to come out but I dont want the name just return of gameplay and multiple playable characters thats all. And you know what retro fanbase is worse we are talking about something that really matters-gameplay and story or playables. And retro guys are always like: OH NO GREEND EYES and THOSE ARE NOT MY PCHYSICS!
And for the record I am sonic fan since 1991 but I dont spam forums with GREEN EYES- crap.
Sadly retro fans in the end get what they want and adventure fans not.
I am glad that I enjoy modern games but I want Adventure gameplay to return.
I hope the SA3DS part is not true. Don’t get me wrong, I want a Sonic adventure 3 and I have my own personal opinions on what characters should be playable and how they should play, but I want Sonic Adventure 3 ON THE CONSOLES! A handheld sequel would really just be a slap in the face to everyone, now if the 3DS version was a knock-off of the console version, I’d still be dissapointed that they did that but I’d much prefer that than have SA3 be exclusive to 3DS.
@ShanJacktheinfinite101
This post tells everything!
I AGREE!
i alway want sonic adventure 3 be on xbox360 ps3 and wii + u
@SA3 2011
Actually, the physics are important, and saying “Genesis/classic experience” for the 2nd time while continuing to show that they don’t even know what it means or how to do it is just disheartening.
Though Retros will forever hold the title of most annoying, Haru. Especially the SEGA forum crew.
@CJohnsonSA3:
-_-. . . . I’ve been a huge sonic fan from day one to now. I’ve never had any real desire for a Sonic Adventure 3. . .
I think the only ones who “desperately need an SA3″ are you and all you SA3 fanboys. Honestly? Quit bothering Sega with your expectations of a new Sonic Adventure 3. If they make it? Great. If not, Boo-hoo. You’ll still buy future Sonic Games. But let THEM decide if they want to make a third “Adventure” format. I know you’re not the only one, but GEEZ.
@SA3 2011
I’m a huge retro fan, and I don’t have a problem with green eyes. In fact, I’m so unorthodox that I think Pot-bellied Sonic looks good with green irises. Now to the physics. It’s a legitimate thing, IMO, to not like a game because of its physics. I mean, the physics are the entire damned game!
@Nomad
Quit being racist. Nobody wants to hear it. >:-(
I know Sonic Adventure 3 isn’t official yet or any of that sort, but shouldn’t we see it coming in the near future? I mean, SEGA is finally learning to listen to the fans, and, heck, the kind of game that most sonic players want is obviously none other than Sonic Adventure 3. I’m just saying that I think we’ll be seeing a another Sonic Adventure title in the near future. Wouldn’t that be awesome?
Well, he’s gonna have to work a bit harder to cover his ass now, another news site has brought up what he said as fact. Heck, they even bring up the Tails/SA3DS stuff as fact even though that more obvious to see as speculation than the Storybook and Superstars tidbits.

Moral of the story: Don’t talk about stuff like you know said stuff is going to happen if you don’t actually know if said stuff is going to happen.
Also, the article image for this one is a nice touch. More or less sums up the fandom too.
It’s Sonic Player. From this day forth, I am KILLER BUNNY!!!!11! Nice avatar, !NAUDiBLE! Anyhoo, it is now time for my usual babbling. BABBLING AS USUAL I SEE! Sorry, had to.
@sonicriders02
We’ve had SA3 already! Sonic Heroes=SA3. Sonic ’06: That didn’t even happen. I hated that game anyway. Unleashed: SA3, only… better. Colors: Also SA3.
well, at least SEGA is finally getting it right. Thank God!!
@CJohnsonSA3
Enough of that….stop moaning already :/
We don’t need SA3, but an enhanced port “pack” of the first to or a remake of one of them for 3DS would be nice. Replaying SA3 in 3D on a car ride while listing to Live and Learn all at the same time would be nice.
@iNAUDiBLE
That site ruined my life.
Okay, for all of you saying that SA3 already happend, IT DIDN’T! If it did it would have all the elements from the other Adventure games. Such as Chao World, item boxes, SOLID 3D. Sonic Heroes – Sonic Colors is NOT SA3! Come to think of it, why would you guys say that there is more than one SA3?
If SEGA ever does, decide to bring the Adventure back to Sonic, they’d let us know.
@Sonic52789
Ugh I hated Colors it was sooo terrible >:( SA3 would be a dream
doubt it will happen though :\
@Sonic52789
Wait weren’t the previous games Heroes,06,Unleashed supposed to be the third Adventure but then scrapped I may be wrong but thank god it didn’t happen then sadly I dnt think it will ever happen =(
If SEGA ever made a SA3 they would make A LOT of money and they know it. A lot of people want this game and I’m sure they keep that in mind. SA3 being made is highly possible.
