Das von Sega fόr diesen Sommer angekόndigte Spiel Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing wird, so wurde gestern mitgeteilt, das Spielenetzwerk OpenFeint enthalten. Dank diesem wird es die bekannten Social-Gaming-Features geben, die das OpenFeint-Netzwerk unterstόtzen. Dies ist unter anderem der Aufbau eines Freundesnetzwerkes, Leaderboards, Achievements und andere nette Features.
Profitieren kφnnen dabei sicherlich beide Angebote voneinander. Auf der einen Seite kann OpenFeint eine groίe Community und Reichweite vorweisen, in der der neue Sega-Titel gut vermarktet werden kann. Auf der anderen Seite hat natόrlich auch Sonic, seit 20 Jahren unweigerlicher Begleiter aller Spielefans, eine groίe Strahlkraft, mit der OpenFeint seite Gemeinde weiter vergrφίern mφchte.
