SEGA have announced they’re releasing a 2nd Sonic Generations demo on XBLA and PSN on October 19th. It appears that the only difference between the 1st demo that went live in June is that you can now play as Modern Sonic. See the full press release below:
LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (October 17, 2011) – SEGA® Europe Ltd. & SEGA® America, Inc., today confirmed that a second demo is being released prior to the launch of the highly anticipated Sonic Generations™ game for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.
The first demo, released on June 23rd 2011 – the anniversary of Sonic’s 20th year – allowed fans to play as Classic Sonic only. Now the second demo means fans can finally play as Modern Sonic – as well as Classic Sonic again – in the stunning environments of the iconic Green Hill level from Sonic Generations™. Demo #2 for the game will be available via XBLA and PSN on 19th October for Europe.

What is this pecularliar listing in the Playstation Store titled Sonic DL all about? It can be found under PS3 add-ons. Let’s do a little speculation, shall we?
– The release date is 13/10/2010, the same day Sonic 4 Episode 1 is released on the PAL Playstation Store
– The image is the Project Needlemouse teaser image which probably means this is related to Sonic 4
– Because it was listed on 13/10/2010 makes me think that this is probably related to Sonic 4 Episode 1 and not Episode 2
– This could be a temporary listing for Sonic 4 Episode 1 DLC that was never taken down
– It could be that no DLC was ever planned and this is a temporary holding for Sonic 4 Episode 1
– Could the ‘DL’ stand for ‘DownLoad’? Was this the working title for Sonic 4 Episode 1?

Football Manager 2012, for PC and Mac will be released on the 21st October.
SEGA’s batty zombie Yakuza spin-off Yakuza: Of the End is coming to Western shores in March 2012 under the name of Yakuza: Dead Souls.
The only other difference (apart from the name) announced so far is the addition of a brand new Pachislot mini-game.
Toshihiro Nagoshi was quoted earlier saying that if Yakuza: Of the End came to the West, he would tweak the shooting mechanics to be more in line with modern 3rd person shooters that are typical to this side of the world. However, this has not been confirmed at this time.
The game will also be Playstation 3 exclusive like its’ Japanese counterpart.
LONDON AND SAN FRANCISCO (5th October, 2011) – SEGA® Europe Ltd. and SEGA® of America, Inc. today announce that the much requested ‘Yakuza of the End’ will be available in the West from March 2012. Renamed ‘Yakuza: Dead Souls’ this iconic Japanese series will be available exclusively to PlayStation® 3 owners and will feature the entire storyline and a brand new mini-game Pachislot!
Yakuza: Dead Souls brings the Yakuza back to Kamurocho, the famous red light district of Tokyo, which is under attack from hordes of zombies. Players will not only face armies of the undead and incredibly powerful mutants; the treacherous Japanese underworld is just as merciless. Playing through the eyes of four of the most revered members of the series, witness allegiances shift quickly and the line between friend and foe lost. If you thought zombies were bad…meet the Yakuza!
“We know how much people love Yakuza in the West and with Dead Souls being the latest and greatest in the franchise its only right we bring it to them closer to the Japanese release than ever.”– said Gary Knight, Senior Vice President of Marketing at SEGA.
Yakuza: Dead Souls features gunplay for the first time in the Yakuza series, where everything from pistols, machine guns and rocket launchers can be employed against your enemies. Just remember to save some ammo in case you run into something more terrifying than zombies! With all the depth and story of a Yakuza title, plus the addition of exciting shoot-outs and previously unplayable characters Ryuji Goda and Goro Majima, Yakuza: Dead Souls is worth dying for.
