[h1]Sega planning new 2D, HD Sonic game[/h1]Author: Joe Martin
Published: 9th September 2009
Sega has teased a new Sonic game for 2010 - a 2D, high-definition one that could mark a return to form
After many, many years of awful attempts to bring the Sonic the Hedgehog series into a 3D universe, with the latest travesty being the terrible Sonic: Unleashed, Sega has finally decided to go back to basics - with a new 2D Sonic.
Codenamed as Project Needlemouse, the game will apparently take Sonicback to his former glory in a completely two-dimensional adventurethat'll be rendered in gorgeous high-definition.
The release date listed for the game is an unilluminating '2010' and noplatform is listed either, but the mention of HD puts the Nintendoplatforms out of the picture and makes a Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3release even more likely.
Aside from that all that's really known about the game is that it will make use of the old-fashioned style of Sonic art, some of which can be seen on the official Needlemouse teaser website.It's also known that the game won't be a simple remake or enhancementof the original games, with the teaser trailer unveiled by GameSpot Australia promising that it'll be an all new adventure built from the ground up for a HD experience.
Finally then, it looks like there may be some hope on the horizon after so many lack-lustre and occasionally disturbing Sonic games.
It's also worth noting that the announcement comes on the tenthanniversary of the Sega Dreamcast, which helps cement the specialnessof the occasion.
