James Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 [color=blue]For those of you who haven't been reading the news lately, I thought I'd post some interesting info up here. Firstly, Sonic Team has delayed Phantasty Star Online for GAMECUBE until March of 2002 for Japan. However, it is expected that Nintendo will launch its online network in time for the release. In order to further satisfy fans, Sonic Team will be including [i]two[/i] new character classes in the game. :) In addition, Sonic Team has revealed that it will announce an as yet secret GAMECUBE title at Space World... [IMG]http://cubemedia.ign.com/media/news/image/cube/secretsega.jpg[/IMG] The above is a blurred shot of the new title. The aspect ratio doesn't fit the wider GBA screen, so it's expected that the game is for GameCube. What could it be? NiGHTS 2? Sonic Adventure 3? What do you guys hope it is? :)[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 15, 2001 Author Share Posted August 15, 2001 [color=blue]I'd personally love to see a new NiGHTS game. The original Saturn version was really nice...and even now it's still a fun game. I also recently bought Sonic Adventure 2 for Dreamcast, and I love it! :) I can't even imagine how great Sonic Adventure 3 could look on GameCube...[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Zeh Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 [COLOR=blue]I think its gonna be a new game.... Maybe another RPG hopefully...[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zomby Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 I think it's going to be a new game where you play as a giant question mark that jumps around on a horribly pixelated background. ;) j/k Wouldn't that be great if it was an update of NiGHTS? Or maybe Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Shinobi, Toe Jam and Earl, Shining Force, and the list could go on and on. Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treble Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 Yeah it'll be great to see those classics SEGA games to return. Heh yeah Shemue had alot of talking in there I have to admit it but other than that it was a great game heh I think Shemue might make a release for the GCN.

Defcon5 Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 I hope it's Sonic Adventure 3. But it looks like it might be a remake of an old Sonic Game in 3D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicoTranzrig Posted August 16, 2001 Share Posted August 16, 2001 Is sega actually going to quit the console buisness and become a true-thrid party...or is it just earning extra money to produce a next-gen console... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicoTranzrig Posted August 16, 2001 Share Posted August 16, 2001 True, but there's always that chance they might come back...with all the great games coming to the consoles that I actually have (PS2,PSone,N64) I like sega's plan to be 3rd party.

Defcon5 Posted August 20, 2001 Share Posted August 20, 2001 There has been a whole lot of hoopla surrounding a recent update to Sega's Sonic Team website in which the development studio hinted at a secret title that would be revealed at Space World next week. Dozens of readers completed comprehensive Photoshop modifications of a blurred-out image representing the secret title, all of them far-fetched. And still nobody was the wiser. Censored mystery image of secret Sega title But Nintendo enthusiast site Planet GameCube may have conjured up undeniable proof of what the mystery title could be. The website recently updated with an article that compared the censored, blurred out image to one of Sonic Adventure 2 (for Dreamcast) posted on Sonic Team's website, with fascinating results. [url]http://cubemedia.ign.com/media/previews/image/sonic/sonichog.jpg[/url] An image of Sonic Adventure 2 for Dreamcast posted on Sonic Team's website The site used the graphics program Photoshop to resize the posted Sonic Adventure 2 image to 180x135 so that it matched the blurred out one, and then it used the mosaic filter to pixelate it (at cell size 16) to the same degree. The results: [url]http://cubemedia.ign.com/media/previews/image/sonic/sonicmodify.jpg[/url] The images are an exact match, minus the question mark. Though this suggests that Sega could be working on a port of Sonic Adventure 2 for GameCube, it's also entirely possible that the company simply grabbed any image it could find and blurred it out as a teaser of things to come. We ask that you bear both possibilities in mind as we near Space World. Thanks to Planet GameCube for the find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
