Who's making Sonic 4? Well, since you asked...

Hi everyone,

After a listing on the official Xbox marketplace went up earlier this week, a lot of you have been asking us about who's developing Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode I. Some of you even called me out specifically asking for an answer - and today, I'm happy to say that we can provide you with the details you want.

So, is it just Dimps? Just Sonic Team? The answer is a bit of both:

Yes, Dimps is working on the game. But there's actually more to it than just that: at the same time, we also have members of Sonic Team, including the original senior level designer from Sonic 3 & Knuckles on the SEGA Genesis working alongside them. It is most definitely a partnership, and the result of this teamwork is something many of us are excited for.

So, as requested - there you have it!

Thanks Ruby. It doesn't really bother me either way. I'm just hoping for a good game.

Thanks. I agree with streetballa--let's make this the game to make the Sonic haters (not the classic vs. modern crowd; I'm talking about the "put Sonic out of his misery" miscreants) choke on their words!

Gooood!, Sonic stages are saved 100% for sure. Is Jun Senoue developing the awesome game music too?

I wonder what role Iizuka san has?

I think he's the Senior level designer from Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

Now that's interesting.

Wait until somebody makes a new thread linking to an article on TSSZ or somewhere else that used this thread as an information source.

lol That's inevitable, isn't it?

That's why I said that.

Awesome. So it is a joint thing like Capcom with Inti Creates. That makes me happy.
