Who?

No I don't want a picture, I want to know how he ties in with the whole story in canon.

That was a FAST response!

Sonic never really had a big canon story, it was basically just eggman being a bitch and ruining something and sonic and friends teaming up in new ways to save the day. (not that there's a problem with that.)

Silver has a different sideline story really, it's like a side story that just mingles with the main canon a little. Silver needs more publicity.

What I really hated was Chip/Light Gaia. I mean really, WTF where did he come from?

Sonic Adventure 2 was the best 3D Sonic they could ever hope to make. Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 was the exact opposite.
I thought it was cool, how did silver suck as a character?
Yeah, I didn't mention Silver at all. His controls, along with everyone else's, sucked. Everything gameplay related in that game sucked. The level design was terrible and unintuitive and the sloppy controls did nothing to help with that. Oh, and load screens. Seriously. Fucking load screens for EVERYTHING YOU DO. There's a load screen to fucking load the load screen! I mean, what the fuck is that?! Technically you load the guy talking, then you load the actual fucking MISSION, but still. I didn't get very far in that game at all before I just stopped.

Controls were fine albeit not better.
Level design was a tad stupid it was hard to tell where you were going and as a consequence you would slip and die for no reason.
Load screens were annoying I agree.

It wasn't the best sequel gameplay wise compared to the SA games, but it's definitely better then what console games sega is throwing out now.

"Who do you think were the most successful companions?"

AHAHAHAHAHA. Successful and companions do not belong in the same sentence when it comes to Sonic.

If it's like Rush, but for a console, I'll be pleased.

Tails was fine when he was invulnerable so you could send him into all sorts of dangers and have him collect rings and shit

My brother abused that feature so much when we were kids. When he played as Tails for me, he'd purposely jump into the dangerous spike pit or get crushed with impending doom.

According to the blog, Sonic will be the only playable character, and no new characters will be introduced. As much as I like the S3&K style of having different characters with different paths, I feel this is the best choice for this "reboot". Also posted is some concept art for an enemy, similar to the crab badnik (Gani-gani or "Crabmeat", depending on your region). Correction: He's based off of a different crab badnik, from Metropolis Zone.

Oh, and BTW, that trailer was made by a third-party (of course) who weren't given a whole lot of info on the game, so try not to read anything into it. About the best thing we have is the GameSpot interview.

They may actually be trying to pull a CAPCOM and revitalize Sonic like CAPCOM did with Mega Man. And to a lesser extent, Nintendo with their overpriced NSMBW

Honestly, I stopped paying remote attention to the sonic series after SA2 (and I played through Heroes once but it just wasn't the same). I don't think any move can save this series for me. Then again, I wasn't much impressed with Capcom's attempt either. Video game industries should know when to let go.

Holy shit, leaked info. Unconfirmed, but the source previously leaked info on the Sonic Adventure port to XBLA, so they've got that going for them.

It will be called "Sonic 4" (somewhat plausable, given that 1Up said that is the internal development name)... "Episode 1". It will be the first in a series of games. It will be downloadable for the XBox and PS3 only. Despite the episodic nature, the sources say that the game will be a traditional-length Sonic title (7 Emeralds to collect, with the Zone names "Splash Hill" and "E.G.G. Station"). Fan speculation compares this to the situation of Sonic 3 & Knuckles, which was originally one long game that got broken up into two parts.

Despite only owning a Wii, this sort of news excites me, and I can't wait to hear more... if it's true.
awp
If the information is to be trusted vis-a-vis the style and nature of the game, not supporting the Wii platform is either a load of shit, or the result of really poor programming practice on Sega's part.

Quite frankly it could be either one.

The no Wii is a great choice, Sega knows that children don't like classic sonic games.

I think he meant most kids today. Considering a lot of parents just buy their kids Left 4 Dead and shit like that.

I'm secretly hoping that they'll compile all of the episodes for a disc release on the Wii.

Looks like we'll find out if those rumors are true or not on Monday. It's another contest, but I have no doubts the fanbase will meet the extremely low requirement, in quantity if not in quality.

Also, probably my favorite entry in the contest so far.

Assuming Needlemouse is a "classic"-style Sonic game, kids will hate it because it's too hard and simplistic, not because it lacks entertaining multiplayer, mods and god level replayability.

Sonic 2 is easy as hell.

It'd be even easier if Sega coded collision detection correctly.

Oh hey, guys, look, "concept art", by which I mean, "sketches from Green Hill Zone that marketing just made up". Also, some music that may or may not reflect the final product.

Please don't tell me they're going to use old Mega Drive sprites just to please nostalgiafags.

Bump/Edit: It's official. Project Needlemouse is Sonic the Hedgehog 4. It will be released in episodes, with the first episode released this summer for the 360, PS3 and Wii. Expectations just hit the roof.

Mogsy
Expectations are definitely rising. God damn, Sega, I thought you weren't allowed to make good games anymore.

To be quite honest, I wouldn't mind seeing Tails or Knuckles come back as playable characters, a la S3&K

pfft they will end up making mario a playable character <_<

Hmm. a new 2D Sonic sounds sweet, but i'm not gonna get too excited until I've played it for myself

Topic title renamed accordingly. The official site is up; the timers indicate new details within the hour day.

Also, I know there are a few of you on reddit, so if you are, please subscribe to the Sonic subreddit I moderate.

I'm excited. A lot of purist fans are crying foul about a lot of the details, especially that the Homing Attack will be in, but I'm willing to into it with an open mind, especially since it's on Wii (and thus I don't need to buy a new system for it).

Footage, hopefully from a beta, given the physics irregularities. Disregard one of the screenshots, though, as it's a fan-made mockup that somehow got there.
