Yuji Naka wasn't kidding when he said SEGA would be returning to the starting point with the next-gen iteration of Sonic. It has been revealed at the TGS 2005 that the PS3/Xbox 360 game is to be called simply "Sonic the Hedgehog".
The game is set to come out next year on the 15th anniversary of the original Sonic for the Genesis, and the pared back name was chosen in honour of that:
The director of the game, Masato Nakamura, demonstrated a real time version of the game at the Tokyo Game Show. The new title brings features like Havok physics, real time shadows and ragdoll enemies to the franchise, which will be 15 years old when this game is released.
