The last generation jump they did was with Sonic 06...yeah. They have to enter the next generation with a bang. An awesome looking next gen Sonic game will make me shell out for a PS4 or NextBox (yay, 3 more weeks before I can stop calling it this) at launch immediately...because I'm a shameless Sonic whore.

 

P.S - Yes I know that the Wii U is next gen but the fact is that the PS4/NextBox version will be better for me. This isn't the place to discuss about this though so whatever.

Now I could be wrong with this, since I don't speak Japanese and I don't visit forums that have layouts like this...

 

I decided to take a second look at that 2ch thing, I figured if it had a hard source behind it like a magazine scan then there would be something there right? By now someone would have replied right? Questions asked, images posted? Something?

 

Well there was nothing else there, at least I didn't notice anything... So I thought, maybe its just the link to the individual post as apposed to a new topic? And it was.

 

Here is the root topic that post came from.

 

http://toro.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/famicom/1361719462/l50

 

Scroll right down to the bottom, reply number 531. Thats the 'next month announcement post' Take a look at what comes before it... oh Sonic Excursion.

 

This took less than 5 min to find.

 

They're talking about Sonic Excursion/the fake rumor. Not a new announcement or even rumored announcement.

I think I keep liking every post Hogfather makes in this thread. Probably because he's the only one talking any sense.
 
Can we get back to talking about SEGA's actual plans and news please? You know, like this:

Acora and SEGA® Europe Ltd. Boost Partnership with Business Transformation Focused Relocation

Acora, UK mid-market IT outsourcing specialists, today announced the strengthening of its close partnership with SEGA® Europe Ltd. following the successful relocation of development studio, Hardlight Studios. Due to the popularity of its Apple iOS / Google Android franchises, Hardlight Studios needed a new working environment that would enhance the development of the interactive entertainment it is famous for.

Stuart Wright, IT Director of IT & Networks at SEGA Europe Ltd. said, “We’ve been working closely with Acora for many years and its standard of service is always of the highest degree. This project was no exception. Hardlight Studios is responsible for some extremely popular franchises, so work on its current roster of games could not be impacted at all. As a choice partner (of which we have only four), we were confident Acora could deliver time effectively, on-budget and with no downtime. We were certainly not disappointed.”

Working closely with Acora, in just two months its staff were relocated from the original Solihull office, which the company had outgrown, to the new Leamington Spa facilities which had been built with Hardlight Studios’ specific requirements in mind.

Hardlight Studios is now able to hire more staff to meet development demands, work on more ambitious titles and most importantly, is now supported by a network focused around high performance, availability and flexibility.

Specific improvements include new underlying infrastructure that can easily cope with the performance requirements of complex video game development, therefore allowing Hardlight Studios to continue supporting popular games like Sonic Jump™ and Sonic Dash™ with little impact to the on-going creative process.

Jide Agbalaya, Systems Administrator Support Technician at SEGA Europe Ltd. continued, “Whenever we work with Acora it is as though the company becomes an extension of our team. They’re easy to work with, are focused on keeping budgets down, flexible and most importantly with a project like this, trustworthy. The tight deadlines associated with gaming mean delivery on-time is crucial, and Acora did just that and more.”

Acora was tasked with completing the relocation with minimal downtime and disruption. Any delay to the project would have had a knock-on effect on SEGA Europe Ltd.’s release scheduling, revenue projections and Hardlight Studios’ reputation.

Even when technology challenges did arise, Acora solved them quickly and efficiently. These included managing the installation of large volumes of cabling, the replacement of existing network equipment, high density testing and the need for the entire office to have perfect connectivity despite difficult building layouts.

David Rabson, CEO at Acora, concluded, “We’re delighted to be one of only four choice partners that SEGA Europe Ltd. works with and we’ve proven that we can meet the demands of the modern technological work place. Out of all the companies servicing the mid-market, SEGA Europe Ltd. chose Acora – that fact certainly says it better than we ever could.”

 

Mostly it's not really anything that's worth reading, but the interesting part is in italics. SEGA Hardlight is doing well, expanding and working on more ambitious titles. I'm pretty happy to see this!

Would these 'new' re-releases from the Ubitus/SEGA deal fall under the 'SEGA Heritage Collection' banner? (I think that's what it is, if not sorry about that.)

 

Liking seeing some more SEGA news amiss the 'Sonic rumor/plans' as per what has been going on by the way.

 

Skies of Arcadia, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Kid Chameleon, Streets of Rage & Burning Rangers plz SEGA.

SSMBこんにちは、私は以前にSEGAのためにQAテスターだった。プライバシーを保護するために、私は偽の名前を構成して、インターネット保護を使用。異なるキャリアパスへの移行のために、私はそこには、最新のSONICについてを伝えるに危険になっていなけれ見つけて下さい!まず、3Dではない。のみ2.5D。第二に、タイトル。ソニック5は考えられるが、多分小さな子供が'5 '、年上の聴衆のために目的としたソニック4で混乱するでしょう。唯一のプレイアブルキャラクター、ソニック。ナビゲーターと相棒のために尾。再びAIとソニックに従ってください。遅い今はブーストが満たされていないときをたくさん動かすソニックに追いつくことができます。セガは、'クラシック'ゲームで'現代'ゲームプレイとビジュアルスタイルを組み合わせることを目指しています。ソニックスピンダッシュが戻っている。これ以上スライドしません。 Bには、もはやAレベル、高さの多くのレベル。左と右に移動します。チームは、視覚的なスタイルのためにレベルデザインとソニックカラーズのためにソニック3を見た。物語に登場する文字:ソニック、テイルス、ナックルズ、エッグマン、メタルソニック、シャドウ、シルバー、エイミー。唯一の20世紀の祭典のための他の文字。チームは言っている文字実験し不要な削除されます。また、これは文字が最高ですソニックテレビとの提携になります。レベルについては、色と同様に奇抜な、明るいステージ。例は、蜂蜜から作られたレベルである。ソニックは蜂蜜の櫛を介して実行、立ち往生になるために蜂蜜に落ちないようにしよう!普通のレベルから出て期待して!それは私が今のところ言うことができるものですまあ、SEGAセットの日付は表示するためにすぐに願っています!

I'm pretending to be a Japanese QA tester.

 

You know how you can tell this is fake?

 

You put it into google and it gives a perfect translation...

 

Well alright, it doesn't, but it should put mistakes in places where it doesn't. The opening line especially gives it away.

 

Not to mention, if you've left the company, and you're gonna spoil stuff... why would you not put any detail at all into what you're saying?

Translate anyone

 

"Hello SSMB, I was a QA tester for SEGA previously. To protect your privacy, you can configure the name of the fake, I use the internet protection. for transition to a career path that different, is there, find and have not been dangerous to tell about the latest SONIC me! First, it is not in 3D. 2.5D only. Second, the title. It is believed that 5 Sonic, but it will be confused with Sonic 4 small children is the purpose for the audience '5 ', maybe older. Playable character only, Sonic. The tail for buddy and navigator. Please follow the Sonic AI and again. You can catch up to Sonic to move a lot when the boost is not met late now. Sega aims to combine the visual style and game play 'modern' with 'classic' game. Sonic spin dash is back. It does not slide any more. The B, then the level of many A-level, high anymore. I will move to the right and left. The team looked at the Sonic 3 for Sonic Colors and level design for visual style. Character appearing in the story: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Eggman, Metal Sonic, Shadow, Silver, Amy. Other characters for the celebration of the 20th century only. Team will be removed unnecessary to experiment character says. In addition, this is the partnership with Sonic TV character is the best. For level, wacky as well as the color, bright stage. Example is a level made from honey. Run through a comb of honey, Sonic try not to fall in honey to become stuck! You can expect to level out of the ordinary! Well, date of SEGA set hope soon to show you is what I can say for now is it!"

 

 

Pffffffft.

Stupid Rumors are stupid. Does anyone think we're actually going to get some sort of announcement this week? I don't find tssz or Jim Sterling all that trustworthy. Not sure why exactly, just a feeling I've got. But next week? Come on guys, we're totally getting one next week! :P

By the way things are going, we'll be able to make a fangame just based on rumoured levels.

కూడా, యుజి నాకా ఇప్పటికీ హంతకుడిగా, సేగా కోసం పని. అతను నాకు కొత్త సహాయం కోసం బీటా-పరీక్ష చేయాలని ఒక నేలమాళిగలో లాక్ ఉంది. దయచేసి, దయచేసి. సహాయం పంపండి, దయచేసి. కృష్ణ మరియు ఎలుకలు యొక్క పూర్తి మరియు నేను ఒంటరిగా ఉన్నాను, OH దేవుడు నేను ఒంటరిగా ఉన్నాను.

That being said, what do you think the chances are of us getting a Skies of Arcadia HD, or a Shenmue HD this year? Considering Sega have kinda hinted at it and said they know the fans want them and are hearing it loud and clear? Part of their 2013 plans to release these as more Heritage games?

I'd say pretty good. SEGA has been pretty good with secrecy as of late. Digital titles can be revealed and released within the same week. I have no doubt that some more Dreamcast era Heritage Collection titles are on the way. The recent release of the Ryo statue sort of supports a Shenmue HD release, as the company is actively making money off the game. What better way to create a bit of brand synergy than releasing Shenmue HD as well as Insert Coin clothes last year and a statue this year?

Same goes for Vyse, he got a huge show in ASRT, so why not play up on that increased visibility and release an HD port of the game?

Remember that Paris Licensing event in April which reports said Sega were promoting classic brands like Golden Axe, Streets of Rage and Shinobi...

The bag is from Insert Coin, I know this because I own one... In that background, you see that T-shirt? That would be this one from Insert Coin.

 

Odds are the report was about these.

 

Direct link if the image fails.
