Sonic Rush - Development

Development

Sonic Rush was developed by Sonic Team and Dimps, and published by Sega. The game's working title was Sonic DS. Yuji Naka, Sega's executive managing director, announced the game at Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2004, along with Project Rub. A demo of the newly titled Sonic Rush was featured at E3 2005, and won video game publication IGN's "Biggest Surprise" award. Blaze the Cat, a new character, was revealed at Tokyo Game Show (TGS) 2005. The game's 2.5D format was based on Sonic Team's idea to combine elements from 2D and 3D games in the series. Director Akinori Nishiyama stated in a September 2005 interview with GameSpot that Sonic Team "wanted to keep the elements from 2D, yet still explore some of the new elements from 3D." At TGS 2005, he stated that while working on Sonic Advance 3, he realized that the series was becoming more complicated, opting for a "fast, dynamic action" approach to the next title in the series. This is the first Sonic handheld game to feature the 4Kids actors who previously did voice-work for the anime Sonic X.

Famous quotes containing the word development:

    “I do seriously believe that if we can measure among the States the benefits resulting from the preservation of the Union, the rebellious States have the larger share. It destroyed an institution that was their destruction. It opened the way for a commercial life that, if they will only embrace it and face the light, means to them a development that shall rival the best attainments of the greatest of our States.”
    —Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)

    “A defective voice will always preclude an artist from achieving the complete development of his art, however intelligent he may be.... The voice is an instrument which the artist must learn to use with suppleness and sureness, as if it were a limb.”
    —Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)

    “I could not undertake to form a nucleus of an institution for the development of infant minds, where none already existed. It would be too cruel.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
