Posts Tagged ‘convention’Sonic Adventure 2 Confirmed for Autumn Re-Release at Sonic BoomSunday, July 15th, 2012We all knew it was happening but SEGA finally confirmed the rumours that Sonic Adventure 2 is being re-released on X-Box Live Arcade and Playstation Network this Autumn. Check out the handheld footage of the announcement at Sonic Boom below: Gotta love SEGA’s sense of humour! It’s also great seeing how many people actually still love this game [Source: The Sonic Stadium] Video Spotlight: Summer of Sonic 2012Sunday, July 8th, 2012So another Summer of Sonic comes to a close. The annual Sonic convention created by fans and run by fans was hit with a major stroke of bad luck when the original venue suffered from a power-cut which led to an electrical fire. Luckily, an alternative venue was acquired just in the nick of time and the convention was moved from the Hove Centre to the Brighton Centre in just 3 hours. Despite the set-back, this year’s Summer of Sonic turned into one of the best and everyone who staffed it did an amazing job. Hopefully, all our attendees had a fantastic time! Here’s some footage we managed to shoot while we weren’t busy elsewhere; enjoy!

Sonic & All-Stars Racing: Transformed Confirmed for Summer of SonicWednesday, May 9th, 2012The Summer of Sonic convention on July 7th will be the first place to receive a playable version of Sonic & All-Stars Racing: Transformed. The new racing game from Sumo Digital is the sequel to Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing which previously released on PS3, X-Box 360, Nintendo DS and iOS. Steve Lycett, executive producer from Sumo Digital will also be in attendance to meet fans and to introduce attendees to the game. Also confirmed is that the game and Steve Lycett will also make an appearance at the Sonic Boom convention on July 13th at the House of Blues in San Diego, so American fans will also get an opportunity to play the game well ahead of its’ release date.
