New Sonic Free Riders information


I have failed to update you with 80 articles about this excellent looking title for Microsoft’s Kinect add-on that is coming later this fall. So I will do a recap of new information.

  • Game developed by O-Two.
  • 12 players via Xbox Live, 4 players locally.
  • Online modes confirmed: Co-op & versus.
  • Game will support DLC.
  • Title is Kinect only.

Very interesting and its good to see that Sonic Team isn’t doing this game, mostly because I’m hoping for a big Sonic the Hedgehog 20th anniversary game next year. Never thought you’d hear me ask for more Sonic? Me neither.

Sonic Free Rider gameplay footage


So you guys have already seen Kinect shown off at the Microsoft press event and if you are like me, you where probably disapointed you did not see a SEGA game using it. Well fear no more, here is someone playing Sonic’s Kinect Riding game for over 5 minutes.

I’m not a fan of Sonic Rider games and this new one is not going to change my mind, especially playing it with Kinect. People are saying that SEGA has confirmed that the game will only play with Kinect, no controller option.

Sonic Free Riders screenshots hit the net


We already knew that Sonic Free Riders was coming to Microsoft Kinect, but now we have the first screenshots of the game. Like we expected before, this has the same look as the last two Sonic Rider games, even down to graphics.

The game is being aimed as a retail release, since it is going to be one of the 15 launch games with Natal.

Sonic Free Riders a Kinect launch title

‘Sonic Free Riders’ was shown off at the Microsoft Press conference a few minutes ago. You might have missed it since it was only shown in the background, when showing off the launch titles.

Look at the image above, do you see it now?  Looks official now.

UPDATE: Hit the jump for the press release

Rumor: “Sonic Free Riders” coming to Natal


Natal is suppose to have a big event on June 13th, one of the games that is suppose to launch with is “Sonic Free Riders” that is rumored to be an XBLA game.

To be honest, I hated Sonic Riders and if this is anything like it, I do not care. Sort of weird that its a XBLA title. We will keep you posted.
