Beginning development after Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog was meant to be a rebirth of the series, the idea emerging from the question What if Sonic the Hedgehog existed in the real world, and was intended to take elements that people had praised in the preceding Adventure titles and bring Sonic back to his roots. 2 Nothing pointed more to the idea of using this game to celebrate what made Sonic the Hedgehog the Most Famous Hedgehog In The World than naming the game after the first in the series. However, instead of keeping things simple, Sonic Team came up with numerous ideas they wanted to include, to make the game the ultimate Sonic experience. The advertising of Sonic the Hedgehog was first announced at the E3 convention in May 2.

What was originally an ambitious undertaking now became a race against time to meet the games deadline with only half of a development team. In this time, Sonic Team reportedly ignored Quality Assurance Tester bug reports in their rush to have the game ready for Christmas of 2. As a result, the game was released with a lot of problems, which resulted in the game being heavily critically panned. 28In February 2. Sonic Teams producer Yojiro Ogawa was made to comment on what made the game looks like it is now, in which he replied The reason why we probably ended up with what we see today, involves a lot of reasons. One is that we did want to launch the title around Christmas, and we had the PS3 launch coming up, but we had to develop for Microsofts 3. It was very hard for the team to try and see how we were going to come out with both versions together with just the one team. It was a big challenge. 9Interestingly, insight into the development of the games story, as well as selected concept art, was leaked to the Internet before the game was released in the form of a file called SONICNEXTallscript, which had all the storyline ported in XML format and was given to a fan site.
