Questions for Tommy Tallarico
By Demx
Posted in: SEGA News | Comments Off
So Tommy Tallarico, a famous video game composer and one of the composers for the Sonic and the Black Knight soundtrack is ready to answer questions. Not that it will help you with finding anything about the game that SEGA doesn’t want you to know…damn censorship.
So grill the man for all it’s worth and ask for a pudding pop for me while you’re at it.
Your chances of seeing one of your questions answered are pretty high, seeing as no one has responded to the thread since it was posted on the 16th of January. Somewhere a Victor Lucas is smiling. Damn you Victor and your fashionably styled hair!
Ignore my ramble; AAUK is hiding your posts. You won’t know what the questions are until they are posted later on. I still want my pudding pop though.

From February 6th to the 9th (2009), Sega of America will be at the New York Comic Con in the Jacob Javits Center. When you’re there, be sure to stop by SEGA’s booth to get your hands on the MADWORLD, The House of the Dead: Overkill, and The Conduit demos. The development teams from PlatinumGames (MADWORLD) and High Voltage Software (The Conduit) will be there to answer any questions.
We’ve also been informed that there will be some special zombie surprises, and both Kellie and Aaron from the Sega of America Community Team will be taking tons of photos and videos, while updating the blog live at Comic Con.

Planetary Pieces and Japan’s Release Date
By Demx
Posted in: SEGA News | Comments Off
SEGA of Japan has finally revealed that the release date for Sonic World Adventure for both the Xbox 360 and PS3 will be on February 19th, 2008; a ridiculously long delay for a game that isn’t going to see any quality improvement. For your reference, a previous post on the game’s website:
“The difference in the international release dates is based on the sales strategy and the manufacturing schedule. There will be no quality difference between the North American/European/Asia release and the Japanese version. Please be assured we are doing our best to deliver a top quality experience to people all over the globe.”
On the bright side, the game’s sound track, Planetary Pieces, will be released before the game hits Japan, on January 28th, 2009. Planetary Pieces will have a total of 91 tracks on three CDs, featuring the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra and Jarett Riddick, member of the pop punk rock group Bowling for Soup. Over 100 musicians participated in the making of this album; and genres include world, rock, jazz, symphonic, and techno. Asking Price? ¥4,200 or $45.30.

SEGA Podcast

Posted in: SEGA News | Comments Off
Looks like SEGA has started their very own podcast that will consist of “interviews, game info, and more from the community teams at SEGA.” Their first podcast is an interview with Patrick Riley, the Sega of America producer of the newly released Sonic Unleashed game. Riley is pressed with a series of questions from SEGA’s online community: Clumsyorchid, ArchangelUK, Martin, and RubyEclipse and shares his favorite moments from the game. The podcast is 15 minutes and consists of no spoilers. SEGA of America’s community team is looking for comments on their first podcast, so I’ll be providing a link to the blog and where the podcast is being hosted.
EDIT: It looks like both community teams are looking for feedback so I’m adding the link to SEGA of Europe’s Blog Article.

Sonic Unleashed Confusion
By Demx
Posted in: SEGA News | Comments Off
While Sonic Unleashed, in North America, for the PlayStation 2 and the Nintendo Wii has already been released; there is confusion amongst retail stores for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions. Although stores like GameStop and EB Games have the Xbox 360 version of Sonic Unleashed in stock, some are more willing than others to relinquish the game to customers. To help those who are still confused over the release dates I’ll list them for you.
Release Dates
Nintendo Wii and Sony PlayStation 2
November 18th, 2008
Microsoft Xbox 360
November 24, 2008
Sony PlayStation 3
December 12, 2008
There are some retail stores like Best Buy and a few GameStops that are willing to release the Xbox 360 version tomorrow, so it’s best to make a few phone calls before setting off on your journey.

While Sonic Unleashed appears to be releasing in eight days for North America, the game for both the Xbox 360 and PS3 has been delayed until possibly the spring of 2009 for Japan. According to Sonic Channel’s staff member Moro, "in order to enrich the content and software quality [of the game]…," the original retail schedule of December 18th, 2008 has been postponed and a confirmed released date for the Xbox 360 and PS3 is unknown at the moment. As for the Wii edition, there won’t be any modifications and will release on time (December 18th, 2008).
