Sonic Adventure 2 - PSN, XBLA, maybe PC

[crackdude]

So a while ago some SA2 avatar clothing was coming out on XBLA.


Did it come out?
Does it mean a rerelease is coming?
What do we know about this?

SEGA is holding back on Iizuka-san's masterpiece. Giving other games time to flourish before they unleash it on the world.

I've always been super curious Shadi but are you being ironic when you refer to iizuka/Sa2 like this?

Based on his Twitter feed, I'm inclined to beleive he is.

All joking aside, I thought they would announce the HD Sonic Adventure 2 game. All we had to go on was the Major Nelson leak of SA 2 avatar items.

Though I guess they will be making some sort of announcement in the future. Other than that, I have no idea what to expect or what exactly is this port going to be like.

I noted in the podcast that while SA2 was not announced at E3, another big date is approaching: June 23rd, the original release date of Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic's 21st birthday. Friday the 22nd would be the perfect date for the announcement, since Saturday isn't usually a news day for SEGA Blog.

Watch, SEGA will make the announcement next week. The game will be the next title in the Dreamcast collection, with a ETA of Fall. To celebrate, they'll release SA2 avatar items to XBLA and themes/gamer pics to PSN.

Wonder if they'll make any changes to the original game?

They'll probably port the Gamecube version. It's the meatier version of the game, methinks.

Please oh please Sega, do not make the shiny black market chao DLC.


I also had thought about that Barry. 21st birthday coming up, really great timing for a SA2 announcement.

Please oh please Sega, do not make the shiny black market chao DLC.

Don't give 'em any ideas!

releasing it just in time to kill Rhythm Theif sales.

Don't worry, the game will come out in October.

Technically can not be confirmed for PlayStation Network and PC until it is officially announced, but the last screenshot shows the PlayStation 3 controller’s Circle button and it’s 100 percent likely the game is coming to all three platforms

Thursday is taking so damn long to get here...

[crackdude]

There it is!


So it's the Gamecube version.. I'm guessing from the Sumo Chao thing. That wasn't in the Dreamcast.

TSSZNews.com has a couple of videos from PAX.

I do believe that nuckles87 is talking on one of those videos. This is a situation like in Jet Set Radio, in which, yeah, the original game is amost 12 years old, yet looking at the off-camera recording, the game does actually look very good.

For some reason the visuals look more smoother with better lighting so far for me. I gotta try the game myself to confirm that but it'd be great if the ports got this quality of care.

I kept saying that since I 100% completed the game, that i wouldn't buy this. I think I may actually do it just for the sake of having it in my steam library. Support that PC market like a boss
