While on the E3 show floor, I had a nice little chat with
Sonic the Hedgehog 4 brand manager Ken Baloughs. While discussing the game and its development history, I took an opportunity on behalf of money-conscious fans everywhere to try and nail down a price point for the game. While Baloughs couldn't declare an official price, he gave me a ballpark figure -- between ten and fifteen bucks.
"We haven't officially announced a price yet but we definitely have a range in mind," he explained. "Somewhere between, obviously, ten and fifteen dollars. Something around that area."
For some, this price may seem expensive for an episodic game. Until we see the full game, nobody can say for sure, but Baloughs did assure me that the price would be worth it.
"It will be priced appropriately for what that content will be," he stated. "Similar for the iPhone, it will be priced appropriately for what [the iPhone customer] would expect to pay."
What do you reckon? A fair price for an awesome wave of nostalgia, or a princely sum for old-school fan service? Let your voice be heard, and keep reading Destructoid for more stuff from our great chat with Baloughs.
