Day Seven - New Games
Hi,
A few posts on the forum talking about the two new Sonic titles comming out this year. While this information is available all over the net ive brought together some of the main facts about the game for the STHNET users.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Shadow The Hedgehog (Unconfirmed but likely to be on PS2 and Gamecube for certain):

The game will look into the darker side of the sonic universe and from screenshots its seems like the graphics are similar to those in Sonic Heroes.

In this new game the staring role will be playing with shadow over sonic. And something new to sonic games is that shadow appears to have a pistol (or gun) or some sort which will be used to take out the bad (good?? .. confused) guys. "Shadow appears to mix the classic 3D platforming elements of Sonic Adventure with the insane weapon shooting of the Ratchet and Clank series." (IGN.com, 1996-2005)

Ofcourse as this game was only recently announced there are very few details but fingers crossed a release date in the fall seems likely.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Sonic DS (Nintendo DS - betcha didnt see that being the console of choice for a name like Sonic DS lol):

Very few details about this game. Even though UK site play.com has it listed to launch 29/04/2005. Will keep you updated but that seems a little too soon given the amount of detail on the game available.

Ok so what do we know ?? .. Well that the stylus will be the main weapon of choice for controlling the game (which seems to attract the anti-stylus crew.. Its something different so therefore it must be the worst sonic game ever - google search to find some of these people who will judge a game before playing it). But yes on the bottom (touch screen) it is anticipated that you can make sonic go faster, jump, grab rings etc using the stylus. With the actual game on the top of the screen. Unlike the Sonic games on the SP we seem to have some really great 3D graphics for the game. Im definatly looking forward to this having just got my DS (and completing warioware touched - yey me. Authough I mastered it on the gamecube so I guess I had that advantage when playing it for the first time)..

Thats all guys/gals. Join us tommorow.
