Sonic Unleashed confirmed, mostly

[Wii Fanboy]

Some video and screens came out of what looked like a new Sonic the Hedgehog game, identified as Sonic Unleashed. After this leak, Sega issued a press release to a German magazine called Sega On confirming the existence of the game -- and then Sega On removed it. Which means that we don't know what's real, if anything. We also don't know which platform or platforms the game will come out on -- the information out there says 360 and Wii, at least.

Sega On now says that Unleashed is an unprecedented collaboration between Sega teams in Japan, Europe, and the U.S., designed to "rebuild the Sonic brand and prove that it could work in 3D environments." It involves a werewolf-style Sonic, either as a player transormation or as an enemy. It's all very confusing, but we can at least say with some certainty that some Sonic game is coming to some system. Check Gamersyde for a bunch of (likely) screenshots, and hit the post break for a video! It looks ... really cool, and mostly 2D -- which the game was described to be in some possibly fake gameplay details.

I hope this game is 2D like the rumors say... and hopefully not completely broken like the last 2 home console ones. Giving Shadow guns was ridiculous and the camera was so broken in the last one that I only played it for 5 minutes in a shop, plunged to my death several times because I couldn't see an edge, then walked out and never played it again. But still, Sonic Rush on DS was good, so theres still a small glimmer of hope that they can make another decent Sonic game. Fingers Crossed...
