Actually no, SEGA might actually ... Just actually,  be funding it too.  


I have a feeling Sega isn't and that they're just gonna reap the profits. People are getting mad at Sony when they should probably get mad at Sega, who's standing by watching this and waiting for the sales money to roll in without investing a thing. I doubt Sony will get anything other than your typical royalties when they sell a PS4 copy.


mad a SEGA? mad at Sony?

mad for f*cking what? Giving us the game we've been begging for since early 2000?

or maybe you mean people pretending to be mad in order to try and throw some dirt on what was one of the best surprise announcements ever done in the videogame world.

people donating to the kickstarter are BUYING THE GAME. you can pay as little as $29 and you get the full game! how can these questions even be made to Shu? seriously...

"Fans have been a bit angry with Sony’s involvement..."

Fans of what exactly? f*ck those 'fans'

I agree but what you know what i meant



$30 for a digital game and fund it at the same time is a win win for gamers.

That's a shame. I wish it was orchestrated by SONY. The reactions so far have been entertaining.

Don't worry people will contiue ignoring this little fact as they have been since it came out, because Shu said that 2 days ago or so already.

Sad but true. Facts are insignificant when it comes to extreme and blind hatred.



I guess this was going to be posted sooner or later. lol!

Sega must be thinking why did we not make this. And Sony will start taking control in my opinion in terms of exclusivity.

no Sega are probably ecstatic that they get licensing money from a dead franchise without lifting a finger or taking any financial risks

for this game to make money it has to sell a lot more than those ~42k on kickstarter, although those are a nice start as they were bought at $79 on average



I reckon it will sell at least 1 million copies, assuming Sony make a physical release.



So is it a PS4 console exclusive?



I don't really care as long as it comes out that's what actually matters tbh



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...

Thanks god they didn't. Looking at current Sonic games, they would probably butcher the game and disapoint us all.
