First of all, let it be known that this is a RUMOR. I usually avoid posting rumors of any kind on here unless I find backup on it, but the source of the article has been known to be right in many a number of times while sometimes hit or miss on others. I found it interesting enough to post nonetheless. So before you get into this – remember it is a rumor. An interesting rumor – but take of it what you will:
Concerning the questionmarks concerning the new characters of Sonic Adventure 2, IGN’s Segadojo posted this up. An EB representative went to a meeting at Sega HQ and came back with info on various working titles for the post E3 period for DC. This is what was said concerning SA2:
I don’t know how much this is worth, but today, I went to a ‘game discussion’ at Sega HQ in San Francisco. And besides their building being pretty sweet, I got to see some pretty cool drawings of some characters from Sonic Adventure 2. There will be a Girl Bat possibly named “Nails” ( I didn’t really like that name) and she will be a spy that’s sly and she can fly (nice rhyme eh?) And there will be another bad guy, a dark “shadow” to sonic that looks really cool, a couple of the drawings had him with one eye. Another interesting thing I saw is there will be good and evil Chao, the evil ones having devil tails and being black, the good ones still look the same. On the last page that they showed our group had a big several eyed monster, a very human looking floating angelic good like chick (think the last girl in Silent Hill for PSX) and some kind of flying dwarf that looked kinda like Sonic. Pretty cool stuff. They didn’t let me take the pages with me, but the game is lookin cool.
AGAIN – a rumor. Take of it what you will with a grain of salt, but I thought it interesting enough to post. If there is a “Nails” The Bat kind of character, starts off bad, possibly ends up good, it might seem sorta cool. The name doesnt sound all that hot (Tails anyone?) but this was the most interesting tidbit of the bunch along with the “Evil Chao”.
E3 is in, I believe, 2 weeks, so I’ll look for more news and rumors to leak, and I’ll post anything that is of value up here as I find it and we’ll see how right, or wrong SD is on the matter. Later peoples! ^__^
