A further wave of 200 tickets to Summer of Sonic will become available tonight at 6pm BST. They’re “group” ticket offer has now been limited to 2 people per ticket.
Also confirmed to be appearing at this year’s event are Takashi Iizuka; the current director at Sonic Team and the wonderful Sonic the Comic duo of Nigel Kitching and Nigel Dobbyn (who had previously confirmed himself anyway!).
Also announced is that a third wave of tickets will become available at a yet-to-be-announced date. More info on this as we receive it.
Summer of Sonic 2012 takes place on the 7th of July at the Hove Centre in Brighton.
We can finally see what Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 will look like! And what a surprising turn of events this is; the game now uses a fully 3D engine instead of using pre-rendered graphics for the foreground tiles and items like the previous game. Check it out:
Eagle-eyed Sonic fans will be intrigued to see Metal Sonic riding the rocket that Tails flies from Sonic the Fighters; nostalgia!
Also confirmed for the game is 2 player offline and online co-op play with Tails. This isn’t your standard Sonic 2 type co-op play either; Sonic and Tails have unique combination skills and attacks that give them a greater advantage than they do alone.
20 years of Sonic the Hedgehog! That’s a bit of a mad concept, isn’t it? What better way to celebrate it then with an anniversary game! Sonic Generations is here to do just that, but is it a game that celebrates Sonic’s history in style or does it miss the mark? Lucky we reviewed it so you can find out!
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.
Gamers will be able to get their hands on the full game on the 4th November when Sonic Generations™ finally hits stores for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and PC digital download.

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?
