 Its been rumoured for some time now, but today its been officially confirmed.

According to a french gaming website, as well as Sega-Europe, we've received official Sega confirmation of Sonic Rivals 2, slated for release on the PSP in autumn of this year.

According to the press release, Tails and two new characters are confirmed to be in the game, though details have not been revealed on the latter two characters at this time. More tidbits include a "jostling" new control scheme, allegedly meant to bring better customization and style to the existing control scheme, allowing for "tighter" competition. Sounds peachy.
 
Other tidbits from the press release:

• Battle Mode: Players select from six ways to thrash their rival buddies: Knockout, Ring Battle, Race, King of the Hill, Capture the Chao, and Tag.

• Single-Disc Game Sharing: Two players can easily access the multiplayer challenge with just a single disc using the Wi-Fi function.

• Intriguing New Storyline: The Chao seem to be disappearing and all eight rivals must work fast to find out who is behind it.

• New PlayableCharacters: Join Tails and two new characters for even more fast-paced action with your rivals.

• Free Play Mode: Free from rivalry, experience the challengin gold-school Sonic-style map at your own pace.

• Expanded Card Collection: Collect 150 new cards for loads of new options to customise your playable characters.



When they say "new" i wonder if that means new to the game or new to the series. I get the feeling that one of them will be that racoon girl from Rush Adventure.

HOPEFULLY, Rush Adventure and Rivals 2 will put an end to the whole Silver and Blaze future/dimension thing. As much as i really like those 2 characters, i want them to wrap up that story so we can actually make sense of it all!

 I actually didn't buy the first one seeing as I thought it was going to suck. I might buy the second one though. StoryLine is complete sh*t. All I have to say.

Future story-line will never end. It's like Shadow's. Doesn't end. They make it up as they go along.

*sigh* unfortunately, i think thats true...i guess we better get used to all future Sonic games to involve some sort of time travel.

 It's already been happening. I mean.. Sonic CD. Bingo! Shadow is from The Past. Then The Future/Other Dimensial Characters are the same. and ShadowTH made me think Shadow was a demon. from past conclusions he was a robot. Hedgehog < Ultimate Lifeform < Robot < Demon < Robot. I mean wtf. Whats next? CLOWN? Arg.

 Shadow from ShTH was the origional Shadow. It says so during the final boss battle.

And Shadow from another dimension/future? Where'd you get that? Only Blaze and Silver are from one of those 2.

 They seriously need to give Shadow a rest. Angstbucket's backstory is already convoluted enough.

I would consider buying this if it weren't on that overpriced piece of crap called the PSP. It sounds kinda cool. I think one of the other new characters will be Jet. He's Sonic's main rival in Sonic Riders, and It's be cool to see the Babylon Rouges make another appearance.

I don't remember the final boss <_<. Just remember Knuckles was with me...

Future is the oppisite of past. Shadows pretty much from the past. Being frozen or something in the GUN place in SA2. He pretty much skipped 50 years into the future.

 If Knuckles was with you then it was only 1 out of a possible 10 endings, 11 if you include the final one.

Hmm, its not really the same concept, but i see what your saying. I never thought about it that way.


They wont stop using Shadow because hes too popular. Even if hes not in the main story, he'll still have some cameo role in a Sonic game. But Shadow's become much cooler since Sonic 06. He didnt mention his past at all.

 I know that this is probably not true but i'll mention it anyway, just to give this topic some life.

According to a few forums and Wikipedia (Before anyone says it, I know Wiki can be edited by anyone, thats why i said its probably not true), 1 character will die in this game. Now if this is true, who will it be?

Sonic - No. Hes already died once.
Tails - Doubt it.
Knuckles - Doubt it too.
Shadow - Has also already died once...sort of.
Silver - I could see this happening. As much as i like Silver, he should stay in the future where he belongs, and if he wont stay, may as well kill him off.
Metal Sonic - Also very likely. Defenetly the most likely out of the lot.
Espio - Nah.
Rouge - As much as i would love her to die, i dont think she will.

So thats my take on this rumour. Of course, it could be a supporting character too, but who knows. Its most likely not even true.

Completely agree. I like Shadow and all, but he's getting annoying with his angst all the time. He got his own game, so his back story needs a rest.

I would consider getting it too if it wasn't for the PSP. It does sound neat. Oh well.


If that rumor's true about someone dieing, that'll be interesting. My vote would be for Rouge, I hate her ever so much.
