Just a quick headcount to see how many of you lot are going to be buying Sonic Heroes. I'd say these forums are a decent enough Gamecube userbase sample.
For those of you who haven't heard of it yet, or have heard very little, some information and screens are here:
Kikizo E3 2003 Hands-on ImpressionsThat's arguably the most comprehensive preview I've seen on the web so far, so that should act as a sufficient guide for those not in the knowhow.
It's Sonic, it's on Gamecube and every hands-on impression article I've read so far has claimed the game is shaping up to be much better than the old adventure series, Sonic Adventure 1 and 2. The design, direction and gameplay supposedly all go back to Sonic's roots on the Sega Genesis/Megadrive - which is of course, a good thing.
Oh, the release date is currently Q1 2004 for all platforms. As with Sonic Adventure 2, it's likely to be a simultaneous worldwide release. Of course, the most exciting aspect of the game is that for once, it's new and not a port.
Anyway, you going to buy it?
