For ps2, release date 2/1/2008 (mm-dd-yyyy), hmm
Looks like the PS2 version of Riders sold the best of the lot. Not surprising.
What would be surprising is if it lacks the Babylon Rogues.
PS2? In 2008?
What, are we taking a step backwards, guys?
Yeah. I also found that wierd. While they're at it, why not release it for the Gamecube. More Sonic Nuts would appreciate it.
More news will come of this in time. PS2 just got the glory first. Or did it?
This would go well with the report the Sonic Stadium did many moons ago saying that Sega would be looking to publish more Sonic PS2 games.
Also, an irony is that similarity in specs between PS2 and Wii, means that you could be getting a few PS2/Wii/PSP games. The only one that springs to mind at the moment is the canned Manhunt 2.
The reason why it isn't being released on the Gamecube/Xbox is for the same reason that other games aren't being released for Gamecube/Xbox. Its because no one is stocking/buying Gamecube/Xbox games because we have moved on to Wii/360.

Actually, I believe the GCN version sold the best.
And John Taylor stole the rest of my post.
Only the PS2 is the only last-gen system that sells really well, and I'm not surprised that well will still see stuff coming out in 2008.
And if this game is truly in development, then I expect to see a Wii port.
Same here. I can't believe they'd limit themselves to one console from the previous generation. Especially with that whole thing about going exclusive to Nintendo home consoles for a while, too.
I'm pretty sure they never actually said Sonic is going to stay on Nintendo home consoles.
I'm pretty sure they said, "After the immense success of Sonic The Hedgehog on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 consoles, we have decided that we need to reimagine the Sonic series to better suit the consumer market for these two consoles."

Part of me died reading that.
XD
I hope these guys are paid to fool themselves so expertly.
XD immense success? Okay thats it. We need to kidnap the entire hanna montanah/ playhouse Disney generation and throw them in caves. So they can no longer be fooled into buying Sonic games.
And if Sonic Team really wants to broaden their appeal through SONIC. hoboy. Tails will have his own first person shooter/ GTA clone. Though I can see him in a game like Crimson Sky.
The Hanna Montana/Playhouse Disney troupe don't own X360s/PS3s, so Sega's successes with that game is most likely spin talk. 
^See, what did I tell you, folks?
Zero Excitement.
Oh well since it's on PS2 then I can GET it, get it? Yes, get it.

Were you summoned here by the spheres?
Also, lol @ $20 difference in prices.
I wonder if it's gonna take place in OUTER SPACE. Possibly one course will be set up on the ruins of ARK or something >>.

Waggle cost $20 extra to add.
^truf that.
Gamestop got exclusive shots of the Wii version!
Spoilers (Select To Read): Quake 3 for Dreamcast, yo.
I hope the AI is more intelligent.
(secretly, you all wish the same thing no matter how hard they were at first)
Great. Another Sonic game to buy.
Ultimately, I think my fanboyism will be the death of me, or at least, the death of the contents in my wallet.
I'm still waiting for the 360 version. I want my achievements.
...Whut?
I hope they make it faster. I know the first one was pretty fast but I don't see why they can't juice it up even more.
My friend says that Sonic Riders reminds him a lot of Kirby Air Ride only with Sonic characters and a lot of bling.
Odd...Rayzor's link took me to a page showing the PS2/PC versions of the first Riders and John's takes me to a page that can't be found. WTF!?

Then don't buy it since you don't seem to be enthusiastic about this title.
Hm, the first link doesn't work either. Does this mean it doesn't exist or Sega doesn't want it leaked yet? If it's the latter, any company should know by now that news on the net spreads like wildfire and especially after 3 days on the net covering it up is useless.
By the way, Ashide, you do realize how strong fanboyism can be right? I thougt so.
Then don't buy it since you don't seem to be enthusiastic about this title.
I was sort of making a joke. This one I probably will buy when the price drops. I only buy the well-reviewed games at full price.

User shidoshi on the NeoGAF forums, who works on the magazine "PLAY", had this to say:

Seeing as how you'll find a two-page preview on Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity (for PS2 and Wii) on pages 68 and 69 in our (Play) Sept 07 issue... I'd call this a pretty crappy "rumor." (or "rumour" if you'd like.)
So its official. Yay.
yay! Well then I guess Sega didn't have intentions on making it a rumor. I mean why hide a spin-off game's development? It's really nothing that stellar to begin with.
It seems that Jet returns, according to PLAY magazine.
And the story sounds bad...but of course, you didn't me to tell you guys that. =p
So what else is new Shadic? :p
I've been sick for the last few days. Painful stomach virus. It blows hard. I've been taking some medicine, but it doesn't seem to get any better. I think I may be needing to go to the doctor real soon.
But enough about me, how bout you Mr. Dreamer? =D
>_<
I hope so too Chao. I still three boards short of 100% complete collection (in the original, of course, but I've been sidetracked from Riders with Crash Twinsanity and a few gems short of being done, provided I get a chance to play sometime this week

I'm slightly sore from working with no break. I see no relief nearby but it'll be for the best. Hope you feel better, though. 😀
Weird. Why they only mention Jet and not the Babylon Rogues? I wonder if something happen to them? Maybe that could that explain why Jet is looking for this artifact.
They were captured by an evil genie named Erazor!
Well probably not Erazor. But I bet Wave and Storm have been captured by somebody. And Jet will need this "artifact" to get them back.
Bah! Not enough angst, I say! It'll be about Jet having fallen into despair at the thought of a common GROUND MAMMAL beating him at his own game. He loses all interest in Extreme Gear racing and spends all his time in seedy bars.
Wave leaves him in disgust and shacks up with a fellow named Beat.
Storm, his giant heart broken at seeing his family break apart, gorges on bird seed and dies of a heart attack soon after. His death triggers something within Jet: REVENGE.
So I guess that Play cover means that a sequel is all but confirmed. Didn't Simon Jeffrey state not too long ago that they would be giving console Sonic a bit of a rest? I guess he meant it only in regards to new 3D platformers...
Psx, Psx, throw in some random, useless plotholes, and then sell the rights of that story to SEGA. If you're lucky, you might be able to make it just in time for Sonic Riders 3.
I swear they find ST finds all of their story ideas straight off Fanfiction.net.
Sega, How hard is it to whore out Chemical Plant Zone?
The new boards look like poo. And everyone is shiny like in Heroes. =C
I.. I..
I don't even know WHAT to think.
Thanks for the pics, adamis. Awesome sig.
I think the characters are extra shiny because of the lighting of the stage - compare the first shot with the rest. Too bad Sonic - and by extension, co - are still in the lame outfits.
Edit: wait...the first shot still has some shine and it's probably from the same stage anyway, though the interior of the stage could still be the cause.

Sonic had to run faster like the speed of sound and got there fast because Tails needed him where he was. Sonic looked at road signs and saw "Scrap Brain Zone" with someons writing under it saying "u shudnt come here" so Sonic almost turned around but heard screaming like Tails so he went faster again.
...Ew. =(
