Satisfying Sequels

As the 360 launch approaches and more developers get on-board the PS3 wagon, more titles are coming to light. Sega has announced the first next-generation Sonic the Hedgehog title, which will see publishing on both Microsoft and Sony's platforms. Additionally, while it's not a next-gen sequel, the announcement of a Seaman 2 title for the PlayStation 2 certainly is surprising. Word is that the microphone that came with the PS2 version of the original fish-man sim will work with the upcoming sequel as well. From the Sonic article: "We are proud to re-create our famous friend, Sonic, for a new generation of gamers on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360...With Sonic the Hedgehog, we have gone back to our starting point, more than 15 years ago, to reinvent the attitude and speed that made our hero a legend. The 'rebirth of Sonic' will offer an unparalleled sense of speed that is only possible using the processing power afforded by the new systems."
