PRESS RELEASE

SAN FRANCISCO & LONDON (June 21, 2007)—SEGA© of America, Inc., SEGA® Europe, Ltd., and Canada-based developer studio BioWare® Corp. today announced a partnership to create a new video game based on the classic SEGA flagship icon Sonic The Hedgehog. The exact name of the game is undetermined, and it will ship in 2008.

"BioWare is one of the hottest names in RPG development in the world," said Simon Jeffery, President and COO, SEGA of America, Inc. "Everyone at SEGA has huge confidence that Sonic is in the safest of hands, and that BioWare can create the ultimate handheld RPG experience for gamers of all ages."

BioWare is the award-winning independent developer that has created some of the world's best-selling titles including the Baldur's Gate™ and Neverwinter Nights™ series, the 2003 Game of the Year, Star Wars®: Knights of the Old Republic™ and the 2005 RPG of the Year, Jade Empire.™ BioWare is currently developing one of the most anticipated next-generation titles of 2007, Mass Effect.™

"We're thrilled to be working with SEGA on Sonic, one of the industry's most enduring and compelling icons," said Greg Zeschuk, president of BioWare. "As huge fans of Sonic ourselves, we're committed to delivering a truly amazing story-driven experience within the Sonic universe, focusing on capturing the character's broad appeal and placing him in a completely original adventure," added Ray Muzyka, chief executive officer of BioWare.

The relationship with BioWare reinforces SEGA's increased emphasis on Western content development for Western audiences. In the past few years SEGA has announced partnerships with developers Bizarre Creations, Gas Powered Games, Monolith Productions, Obsidian Entertainment, Planet Moon Studios, Pseudo Interactive and Silicon Knights. SEGA has also acquired development studios The Creative Assembly, Secret Level and Sports Interactive.

I can't wait to see it graphics wise, i wonder how's the framerate, if its shitty or so shitty compare to Sonic the Hedgehog on the next gen consoles, no pun intended!

How about them bugs?

Fishcake21, please take your miserable attitude elsewhere. Those are statements that can, should, and probably will get you suspended and/or expelled permanently from the Gamers Reports website according to the TOS.

Why are DM and/or other members of the GR staff allowing those swear words from Fishcake21 to remain. Other people have been suspended and expelled from the website for writing such things. Those swear words need to be removed. Laziness like that is the sort of stuff that will cause advertisers to stay away from you website.

a sonic RPG hmm, sound like it would be made bad if by EA that is but as long as bioware are doing this i'm happy they will do it properly.

I knew it, UTP in disguise, was your alter ego boring or you just feel like making this place so bias on your crap by creating one of how many total klones.

No cursing on this one! try to cry on it

Isn't it also a voilation or whatever to have clones?

Response to Fishcake21:

You remind me of another psychotic member who was obsessed with me...a member whose name I will not take the time to rudely mention in a specific way (like you did)…a member who mentions my name before I even post anything, and for absolutely no reason.

I am pretty sure that it is illegal to have clones or dual-names or whatever you want to call them. That's why I don't do that sort of stuff.

It is definitely true that I don't like people calling each other names, acting childish, or swearing publicly...but that is because I am an "adult,"...can you say that with me: "Ad-Ult."

Ya see, Fishcake21, there are actually other "adults," who visit this website...and they obviously don't like swearing either.

Fishcake21, recently there were actually people who wrote to me and asked where I had been lately, since I hadn't posted anything on the website for a few days. I just told them that I had been to the website, I just didn't post anything...mainly because there weren't any immature comments or biased fanboy remarks that I needed to counter with the truth.

Keep that in mind before you call names or act immature. The fewer balls you throw in the air, the fewer times you get hit. Think it through.
