Astro Boy

[sggg]

Sega announced they will release a PS2 version of Astro Boy: Tetsu Wan Atom in Japan in Spring 2004. The PS2 version is an action adventure game in 3D.

Neat-O. Astro Boy has a lot of gaming potential, especially with Sega developing.

A while back Sega also announced an Astro Boy GBA game, which is being developed by Hitmaker (edit: Treasure). It's cool to see them making use of the Tezuka properties.

Cool stuff. I'm more interested in Dororo than Astro Boy, but I'm sure most of Japan disagrees

Dororo looks neat too... but I'd say I am more interested in this, I don't know... I'd like to see some screens first. All I know is the GBA version looks great.

It seems Sonic Team might be behind the PS2 version of Astro Boy! Wow, Sonic Team + Astro Boy would be too cool.

Even if it's just a new Sonic Team PS2 game inspired by Astro Boy... that's great too. You can't go wrong either way. Good news.

Sonic Team is still cool and all, but after the Sonic Adventure disasters, I'm probably not alone in wanting to wait until Heroes comes out to get excited about this game.

Is this game going to be running on the Sonic Adventure engine like all their recent games?

According to IGN/Famitsu it sounds like Sonic Team is officially developing this game.

From what I've heard the game was in development at UGA before the merger (for a long time in fact). For what that's worth (probably alot around here).

It's gonna use the Havok engine!-

That's pretty funny. Now all I can think about is Astro Boy diving around in slow motion and using really long, wordy metaphors.
