Is it safe to say that the Wii/PS2 game will be the same?

No, actually it isn't. Since they already have a running engine for the rails part of the game on Wii (SSR) it's probably signifficantly easier for them to work off their already designed Wii engine than to port up from the PS2.

For those who don't understand how this plays: 2D sidescrolling switching to 3D on rails behind Sonic camera. And yes, in 3D Sonic controls signifficantly better on rails.

 coupled with sega's history of what they've done with sonic, which the practice was building the game on the gamecube and port it to the other system, sonic heroes runs at 60 fps very solidly on the gamecube but struggles to maintain 30 on the ps2, so I'd wager it's a safe bet that it's a wii game being rolled back to the ps2, considering the sales of sonic games I might go so far to say the wii build is the primary build and it's being visually enhanced for the 360 and ps3, explain the video being 360 quality is easy, they'd obviously show off the best looking version.

 

Glad I'm not the only one that said this. I thought it was a dead giveaway when Sonic burst into SRR gameplay, and that a lot of the screenshots were FMV that could easily be passed amongst all the platforms.
