this new PS3, 360 game has gotten new info and even more characters:
* Sonic the Hedgehog - The hero of the story. After befriending Princess Elise, Sonic takes it upon himself to rescue her. When controlling Sonic, the player will get to experience high-speed, Sonic Adventure-style gameplay. He appears to have retained most of his abilities from Sonic Adventure 2. He also gains speed with each ring he collects.
* Shadow the Hedgehog - A black hedgehog rival of Sonic's. Shadow is asked by the Federal Government to rescue Rouge; however, on his way to the laboratory, he is encountered by a mysterious hedgehog named Mephiles. During the battle with the hedgehog, he is somehow transported to the future. Shadow uses his Chaotic Powers in battle, and he also is able to drive vehicles. Confirmed ones include a motorcycle, and a large four-wheeled vehicle. He is also seen attacking with what appears to be 'Chaos Blast' and 'Chaos Spear.' According to Electronic Gaming Monthly, Shadow is also able to use guns like in Shadow the Hedgehog. It currently isn't known how Shadow is affected by rings.
* Silver the Hedgehog - Silver is a time-traveling hedgehog who has returned to the past in order to stop Sonic from becoming the "Iblis Trigger".[4] Silver has psychokinetic powers, which are the main feature of his gameplay. Using his psychokinetic powers which Silver can harness with help of the power in his gloves (which were produced in his time), Silver is able to pick up objects around the playing field and throw them at enemies, including projectiles like missiles. He also possesses the ability to levitate in the air for differing amounts of time (using up his energy bar), he also gains more abilities the more rings he collects. His energy bar loses energy faster according to how heavy the object he holds is. Silver's energy bar loses less energy when the object he wants to carry has taken on damage. The speed of his energy loss also depends on how much damage the object has. Another way of saving energy is to collect rings, as the more rings that have been collected, the slower Silver will lose energy.
Robotnik aka Eggman- also with lengthened arms and legs
Princess Elsie- the damsel in distress who harbours a dark secret
The game takes place in the capital Solieanna, a huge sprawling metropolis surrounded by ocean. Princess Elsie harbours a dark secret, but more importantly; she also has a Chaos Emerald. Robotnik kidnaps Elsie and the Chaos Emerald, and Sonic, not one to let an injustice take place, begins his quest to rescue the princess... Meanwhile a mysterious white hedgehog has been tracking Sonic, apparently Sonic is the Iblis Trigger*.
Sonic can use flying Eagles for transportation across stages, perhaps similar to the aerial segment of Shadow the Hedgehog. Certain areas in the levels allow Sonic to reach speeds that would be unattainable elsewhere. Theses sections are know as mach speed areas
*In the Islamic religion Iblis is the name given to the devil

Sonic can use flying Eagles for transportation across stages, perhaps similar to the aerial segment of Shadow the Hedgehog. Do you think that this will be full on level(s), or just a mini-game while the stage loads? I could see it both ways (not to mention that it would be a good way to waste a few moments, also allowing the console extra time for loading).

^ yep that's the white hedgehog.... Like we need 4. I haven't been a fan of this game since I first saw it. Mostly because it's not for the Wii. And Tails is most likely not in it, like how he's not in Sonic Rivals.

A white hedgehog named Silver..... at least he wasn't green or something and then they'd call him Silver. But that is one weird hairstyle.
Y'know, if they keep lengthening the arms and legs of everybody, pretty soon it's just gonna be characters with a head and limbs.

Sonic Stadium reveals a ton of info on the new Sonic games. Who gave them the info is anonymous and don't bother guessing who it is, doesn't truely matter anyway. We don't need any of these great Sonic sites getting in trouble.
Here's the facts from their article:
Characters
Playable Since Sonic 2006s’ E3 appearance and Silvers revelation as a time traveller many people have likened the game and its three main Hedgehog characters to Dragon Ball Z. From our sources reaction to the script he agrees with these strong parallels, likening Sonic to Goku, Shadow to Vegeta, and Silver to Trunks.
-Sonic the Hedgehog -Shadow the Hedgehog -Silver the Hedgehog
Non playable -Knuckles -Amy Rose -Rouge
-Princess Elise: Princess Elisa is connected to the Flames of Disaster. Her dark secrete is that she was used to stop them 10 years ago.
-Tails: Tails may be a playable character, the document from which the information in question originates makes mention of a ‘Tails Act’.
-Blaze: Blaze is the surprise character of the story with connections to Silver. Our source suggested that these connections may imply the alternative reality from which she and Eggman Nega originated from is infact a future reality. The Sol Emeralds also feature in the plot; however connections between Soleanna and the Emeralds are yet to be made.
-Dr Ivo Robotnik aka Eggman: Eggman is the main villain of the game, and yet his butt gets whipped twice by an evil super deity, just like previous Sonic outings (Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes, Shadow the Hedgehog). It’s also been suggested that in this outing Eggman has a twin.
Sonic News speculation: The notion of a twin doesn’t surprise SN. On the official Sonic 2006 page of the SEGA of America site there’s a flash image which, when a cursor is place on top, alternates Eggmans facial expressions from normal to psychotic. This could imply possession (the personification of his dark side) or possibly an alternate Eggman (twin, Eggman Nega).
Unspecified
-Forth Hedgehog (anonymous): the forth anonymous Hedgehog is crystalline in appearance. Our source describes it as a fusion between crystal/stone/emerald. This character may also be of blood relation to Shadow, and serves as mentor to Silver in the future.
Sonic News speculation: Once again DBZ parallels with the plot can be seen. It was Gohan who served as mentor to Trunks in the show. If these parallels remain consistent then it seems more likely that the forth hedgehog is a blood relative of Sonic, maybe even his son, while Silver is the relation of Shadow.
Plot
-The Iblis trigger is an event involving the deaths of several characters, effectively leading to the Flames of Disaster (the name is what it is) destroying the world.
Voice actors
The voice actors featured in the game are those used in the Sonic-X television show. The exception to this rule is Silvers, whose voice is still to be cast (the voice featured in the E3 trailer was only temporary).
The deaths of several characters.... They don't mean current characters?
I was reading the comments and people have said that Cream is in it and could and could not be playable. That several characters in the main cast will die, but only during certain occurances(or they're hoping). They woulda said "people" if it was just citizens, but they said "characters:" persons with names and identities. Shocked that this is basically Sonic Rush 2 since Blaze, the Sol Emeralds and Eggman Nega are involved. Not surprising that people are getting scared over this new game. They might totally do a total change to the Sonic storyline.

If Sonic Stadium can't source that, I'm going to have to call BS. That sounds fake.

Sonic Stadium isn't known for that. They've been pretty good with that. But yea, it's still considered "up in the air" we have to wait til the end of the year when the game comes out.

Thyat hedgehog is an exact copy of Shadow. So maybe it's just a minor boss of the game, where Shadow meets one of Eggman's more powerful Shadow androids. It seems like a logical explanation to me There is no new hedgehog except for silver.

This new hedgehog was in earilier trailers, but was assummed to be Sonic, Shadow or Silver. There are some news about this new hedgehog, from his apperence to his purpose.(I copy/pasted from Sonic Stadium).
The images depict a hellish area surrounded with lava flow, A mysterious indigo coloured hedgehog who looks not too dissimilar to Shadow himself who also appears to be composed of indigo coloured jewel shards and has red eyes floats over the arena whilst apparently summoning a whole army's worth of dark and sinister looking creatures to use against Shadow. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of these new images is that they depict Shadow the hedgehog himself outside of his military vehicle that he has been shown in in previously revealed media, proving that some of his gameplay involves more than being confined to a vehicle.
Also, the series of screenshots also depict Shadow in the kingdom valley level (Which has been shown previously as being accessible to both Sonic and Silver). Other screenshots of Shadow facing the new Hedgehog show him looking as if he is using the chaos blast move (The "evil" move in the Shadow the hedgehog game for Gamecube, Xbox and PS2) but due to the still nature of the shots, this cannot be explicitly confirmed if it is really the chaos blast move. It may be an entirely different ability of Shadow's.
According to the information given by an anonymous contributer,the hedgehog could indeed be taken to be the hedgehog who was "Crystalline in appearance" and who perhaps is responsible for sending Silver the hedgehog from the future.

They are just speculating from what they saw in the image, their guess can be just as valis as anybody else's, because Sega has announced none of this officially. I'm still wondering where people get these screenshots if Sega isn't the one releasing them. You'd think Sega would be the first one to show screenshots they created themselves. There might be a traitor in the company that's leaking information.

Now this last picture looks like fun, I'd love to use the light attack in presence of so many enemies. That would be cool.

Do you mind editing that last pic into just a link, because it's a little too big, and I don't want to scroll left and right to read a message. I would edit it, but editing another admin's message isn't quite proper etiquette.
Anyway, I see why they need that extra horsepower under the hood to power this.

You know what's cool about being an admin? You don't have to ask. You coulda done it yourself, I wouldn't care. UPDATE: A better pic of Hedgy #4, can see some detail on him: i.i.com.com/cnet.g2/images/2006/215/929717_20060804_screen001.jpg

do you want a pic of just the hedgehog to make it easier? hmm... i still wanna tell people about who's supposed to die, but that would ruin it. and some people probably won't like it. actually, probably a lot of people won't like it

You're saying that Sega lets you in on secrets of the game that not even big websites have yet? As far as I know that "new hedgehog" is a shadow android.

HUGE UPDATE! From Sonic Stadium and Sega's Japanese site. "With the complete redesign of the website, comes some interesting new info. Firstly, it is now confirmed (via ambiguous sillohoutte outlinings) that Knuckles, Tails, Blaze, Omega, Rouge, and Amy WILL be in the game. But judging by the size and placement of the pics, they will not be playable. In addition to the character confirmations, the song from the E3 trailer can now be heard in it's entirety with full vocals, provided by Ali Tabatabaae and Matty Lewis from ZEBRAHEAD. The song is catchy, that's for sure.
In addition to all this, there is also an all that, there are also details on Sonic's story. However, it is all in Japanese. THe other sections of the site are listed as "Coming Soon", including Solleana News, a download section, details on the town stages, and details on Shadow and Silver's stories."What I see in the site is that it might works like Sonic Adventure with the Adventure Fields(Station Square, Mystic Ruins, Egg Carrier) and Action Stages(Emerald Coast, Icecap, Hot Shelter, etc.). It also says 1-2P, which means there's some sort of multiplayer, which explains the Xbox Live logo, so it's online multiplayer. I'm not expecting more than Adventure 2 Battle and Shadow's multiplayer. Oh crap! They might have Sonic pics to make it your Xbox 360 equivilent of Buddy Icons and maybe 360 Dashboard themes. Most likely it'll cost extra. Sega's Sonic site(Japanese): sonic.sega.jp/sonic/New Trailer: www.gamevideos.com/video/id/5833Also you get a Sonic plushie for preordering at EB Games. Also, it's rated E10+. Sure is catchy(The theme). No Crush 40. Is it good? It's ok. Not the best but def with Sonic Heroes, it ain't the worst. It builds up which I love in songs. To tell you the truth, this game looks so good that Sonic looks so plain and fake. I am totally pumped for this game. Damn Flash sites, I can't translate that to read what the site says.

Nice! I'm glad they're bringing back the Adventure Fields/Action Stages, hopefully. I always loved that idea.

I guess this tells about the 4 Hedghogs(Also put it up top): * Sonic the Hedgehog - The hero of the story. After befriending Princess Elise,[3] Sonic takes it upon himself to rescue her. When controlling Sonic, the player will get to experience high-speed, Sonic Adventure-style gameplay. He appears to have retained most of his abilities from Sonic Adventure 2. He also gains speed with each ring he collects. * Shadow the Hedgehog - A black hedgehog rival of Sonic's. Shadow is asked by the Federal Government to rescue Rouge; however, on his way to the laboratory, he is encountered by a mysterious hedgehog named Mephiles. During the battle with the hedgehog, he is somehow transported to the future. Shadow uses his Chaotic Powers in battle, and he also is able to drive vehicles. Confirmed ones include a motorcycle, and a large four-wheeled vehicle. He is also seen attacking with what appears to be 'Chaos Blast' and 'Chaos Spear.' According to Electronic Gaming Monthly, Shadow is also able to use guns like in Shadow the Hedgehog. It currently isn't known how Shadow is affected by rings. * Silver the Hedgehog - Silver is a time-traveling hedgehog who has returned to the past in order to stop Sonic from becoming the "Iblis Trigger".[4] Silver has psychokinetic powers, which are the main feature of his gameplay. Using his psychokinetic powers which Silver can harness with help of the power in his gloves (which were produced in his time), Silver is able to pick up objects around the playing field and throw them at enemies, including projectiles like missiles. He also possesses the ability to levitate in the air for differing amounts of time (using up his energy bar), he also gains more abilities the more rings he collects. His energy bar loses energy faster according to how heavy the object he holds is. Silver's energy bar loses less energy when the object he wants to carry has taken on damage. The speed of his energy loss also depends on how much damage the object has. Another way of saving energy is to collect rings, as the more rings that have been collected, the slower Silver will lose energy. Mephiles - A mysterious hedgehog character that Shadow encounters on his way to rescue Rouge. Confirmed via translations of Shadow's Profile on the Japanese gamesite. Theme Song named- "His World" I have it(well the released version which feels short, might be longer when we get it) If you want it, PM me. Rings have expanded functionality. Rather than simply being a measure of life, they can now be used to purchase items and abilities in the Town Stages like the Black Market in the Chao Garden. In addition, the more rings Sonic carries, the faster his top speed is - similar to the Sonic Advance titles. The more rings Silver carries, the more powerful his abilities become. The rings also help replenish his telekinesis bar. It is currently unknown what effect rings have on Shadow. Sonic doesn't always lose all of his rings in one go either. Depending on how he is attacked, he loses amounts varying from 1 ring to all rings. UPDATE: Interesting screenshot I see here www.gamesarefun.com/games/ps3/sonic/2.jpgRemind you of another game?
