Sonic online RPG denied

SEGA has flat out denied that a Sonic the Hedgehog online role-playing game is in development, despite clues on the website of US multimedia developer Panovation that suggested otherwise.

"No" was the answer that several representatives gave when quizzed about whether the game was in development.

The rumour started whizzing around earlier this week after teasers appeared on Panovation's website - including the news headline "Sonic ORPG Announced!" and all sorts of meta-tags relating to Sonic, his pals and various console platforms.

Well, whatever the deal is with that, SEGA says it's not a Sonic online RPG.
