Well, thank God. In a recent interview with
Official Nintendo Magazine (what, you don't subscribe?), Sonic Team's Yoshihisa Hashimoto noted that Sonic's latest outing,
Sonic Unleashed, "
has no relation" to his previous next-gen effort
Sonic the Hedgehog (or the Wii's
Sonic and the Secret Rings for that matter). For those of you who missed out on
Sonic the Hedgehog, you should know that
Sonic Unleashed having no relation to it is a
very, very good thing. Giving us more reason to hope (and thus greater hopes to be dashed), Hashimoto says that
Sonic Unleashed began as
Sonic Adventure 3, adding that "this game will have more in common with the older Sonic Adventure series." While many
would argue that Sonic Team should look back even further for inspiration (oh sweet, sweet
Sonic 3), it's still a damned sight better than the 360
Sonic the Hedgehog.
So, potentially good news then. Dare we have the audacity to hope that
Sonic Unleashed might actually be
good?
