Sorry, guys. It said it was Splash Hill on the site. Now it's saying it's Seaside Hill. It's probably Emerald Coast, like Golem said.

OST!!! Freaking INSTANT PREORDER!!!

Picnic? Well it lacks Shadow and Silver. I wonder where they are (hopefully this will be explained) maybe on some kind of GUN mission to stop EGGy from using Time Eater and then they fall under his control. Its very likely.

Maybe the screenshot is from the 3DS version? I say this because it could be like a still shot in a cutscene and I think the other screen is from the 3DS version.

[HUNTER297]

Hey I just noticed something. Woun why does it say soundtrack will be limited? Oh and there are 2 ver. And sinc in JP 3DS ver. Is named "Blue Adventures" then blue edition is probably 3DS soundtrack while HD is white one.

Like I said before, it's probably there just for the sake of being there. You're looking way too far into things. This isn't from the opening.

The existence of two separate soundtrack CDs is bolstering my hopes that the 3DS version's music will be up to par with the console version's. The music is the only thing I'm really looking forward to from that version at this point, so this is only good news.

That 3DS screenshot... well, I can imagine plenty of better zones to use than that, but at least the whale chase is a little more interesting to look at than most of what we've seen from that version of the game.

The picnic, though; that's really cute. It's always great to see the Chaotix included with the main cast. It makes Vector so happy... seriously, he looks like he's giving a passionate televangelist sermon or something; it's amazing. I also find it kind of funny that Rouge was the only member of Team Dark who wasn't too cool to show up to a picnic, although I wish she was wearing a silly party hat to seal the deal. And, uh, Blaze is around. Not too weird, since I guess Tails could've just built a proper dimensional portal machine thingy, but still notable.

RANDOM BULLSHIT SPECULATION TIME: They're having their picnic at Never Lake, and the Time Eater is directly connected to the Little Planet and the Time Stones.

I think the CGI cutscene will be the Teaser Trailer we've got when Sonic enters the white painted Green Hill for the first time and meets Classic Sonic, the cutscene before might still be In-game and the be the Picnic one.

Yeah. I dont expect serious story this time. I am just guy who really cares about story and sense Other than that I dont want to miss opurtunity to see Shadow in party hat.

EDIT: Hey wait its not CGI! You can clearly see models. CGI would be more... Like Unleshed oppening in terms of graphics. This is screen of pre-placed models.

The pose is new. Right? Oh man i need release dates for this OR something even better. Extra with LIMITED EDITION!!! Hell YEAH!!!

I believe so, I can't recall ever seeing that pose in all the official sonic artwork I've saved, haha. If there is a limited edition, oh...my mind is just overflowing with possibilities of extra content. It would probably be a figure or something though, but I'd still be excited! I'd love if the soundtracks would have earlier versions of the tracks within the game, like how Sonic Heroes' OST did with Casino Park.

[Ivo the Egghog]

Hmm... interesting pics! Great find Woun, glad to see some new info creep out.

I'm prepared for the light story now after that picnic pic. Strange that Rouge shows up to Sonic's birthday party... not to mention Blaze. No real complaints with it honestly, but it just seems a bit off. Can't wait for that sexy OST and for both versions of the game to be out... I have Star Fox to get me through September, Dexter for October, and the grand daddy Sonic Generations (and then some!) will finally be in my hands in November. What a great Autumn it'll be!

I know. That's what i'm saying. It's not from the opening since it's using actual character models. The actual opening to the game will be CGI.

This isn't from the same picnic scene that we'll see in the opening. This probably isn't from a cutscene at all.

Isn't that 3DS screenshot Neo Green Hill?

It has the bridges and the same type of islands with palm trees in the distance, and I thought the 3DS game was going to be purely all about handheld Sonic games.

As for the opening shot not being in CG, it could very well be just that this specific part of an opening that isn't in CG. "Story Beginning" as a description for a CG cutscene is incredibly vague, it could just be the moment when the time holes strike or when Sonic ends up in the past.

Its probably some promotional stuff. I think game will open with picnic and have credits while on picnic but its discussion for other time.

Its possible but whole oppening will be CGI. We know this because first "model" cutscene is called "White World" and is placed in Green Hill after oppening.

[Son1ctrainer]

Easy to remember.

The second pose, however....

[Nepenthe]

Why does everyone care if Blaze or Silver are there or not? So what if they aren't? Blaze is in another dimension and Silver is in the future, unless they explain this it ain't happening and I will be pissed if it does.

I guess we can call this a half-way troll on Sega's part.

[-Mark-]

Ehh, I'm not really seeing it with that second one, entirely.

[Voyant]

Also the in-game Sonic Model looks far more detailed than that screen shot.

[Mr. Awesomest]

Well, the picnic thing was right. I wonder what the justification of Blaze being there is, though we'll probably never get one.
