SEGA: "Sonic Unleashed Needs to be Better Than the Genesis Titles"

Play Magazine have announced that their May 2008 issue will contain Sonic "as you've never seen him before" (before Sonic Unleashed was leaked), along with an interview with Producer for Sonic Team, Yoshihisa Hashimoto.

Hashimoto says: "The whole development team is aiming to make Sonic Unleashed the best Sonic game ever, and that includes the Genesis-era titles!" Is it possible for it to happen, after all the bad blue hedgehog games we've experienced? We hope so.

Sonic Unleashed Began as Sonic Adventure 3

A new interview with Sonic Team's Yoshihisa Hashimoto in the latest Official Nintendo Magazine, he revealed that Sonic Unleashed is going to feel more like a Sonic Adventure game rather than the horrible Sonic the Hedgehog (PlayStation 3) or Sonic and the Secret Rings titles.

"As a development team, we originally started off this project planning to create Sonic Adventure 3", Hashimoto told the magazine. "In our minds, this game will have more in common with the older Sonic Adventure series. It has no relation to Sonic the Hedgehog or Sonic and the Secret Rings".

We should be seeing this title hit sometime around the holidays, and for the sake of Sonic, we hope it is good.
