...and, judging by the interview, not "lol hold right" 2D a la Sonic Rush.

Despite how odd the silhouette looks, it lines up with the Sonic 1 title screen.

I'm cautiously optimistic. And by that, I mean I'm internally freaking my shit with delight, but I'm not going to run around screaming about it because there's still a fair chance it'll get messed up.

Fffffffffffffffffffffffffffff Please please please turn out good... >w<

Sort of want. I'm not getting hopes up much either, since SEGA's ruined their good track record from back in the day.

Hope its better than the DS version, the game was fast and too zoomed in to concentrate. No crappy stories plz.

Sega can't make any good Sonic games. Every single one that comes out gets hyped and "I WONDER IF THIS IS THE ONE DAT MAEKZ SONIC GOOD AGAIN." It never happens. This is going to be terrible. Calling it now.

Sonic Rush was bad because it had bad level design. Trial and Error is not how to do a Sonic game

Bah. The 2D sections in Unleashed still sucked. I expect similar results from this.

The Sonic cycle is irrelevant now that everyone knows about it.

Also, that teaser site I posted was fake. The guy happened to own the domain before the announcement and just ran with it, I guess.

Anybody remember sonic adventure? The one with expansive environments and rushing through levels hoping to snag that a-rank at the end? Remember the chao garden? Sonic the hedgehog 2006 took that formula and made it even better. And now look at where sega's going with sonic unleashed! I hope this is does turn out to be a good game. :(

Didn't really like shadow the hedgehog, seemed like a ploy to get the halo fags to play sonic back then.

That's how I know you're high. Sonic Adventure 2 was the best 3D Sonic they could ever hope to make. Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 was the exact opposite.

To be honest, I don't mind Sonic's friends. I just don't want them to be integral to the story, like SA2 did. I want to run through the entire game as whoever I chose, whether it be Sonic, Tails, Shadow, Knuckles, etc. Just don't force the character on me.

Oh, and Character specific traits are fine. They just need to WORK WELL.

X3 it fits in so perfect. You should go up to the Sonic Team and knowing them, they'd probably make it into a game.Like they do with most scenarios

Well on to discussion on the actual game..
I bet it's going to be like Sonic unleashed, 4 levels of 2D fun, and the rest some type of added gameplay that has noting to do with sonics original games.
If Sega doesn't screw it up, I'd like to see it like SA2, That's definatley my favorites sonic game, so many memories...

I pray every night that SEGA will finally cut the crap and release a Sonic game without new friends (imagine Sonic's myspace friend list :roll: ), retarded story line, or Eggman bitching out in the end again to help the good guys.

I agree with everything here. I think the main reason everyone seems to think SA1 was the only good 3D Sonic game was because you chose a character (and more importantly, a playstyle), and you stuck to it, and had a satisfying conclusion to your chapter of the story.

SA2 would be even better if they had kept the characters down to the three play types, especially since Knuckles is almost never with the other Heroes anyway. Just Sonic, Knuckles, Eggman (running, hunting, shooting). Their opposites could be alternate skins or even extra stories, and I'd be fine with it.

That being said, I still hold both Sonic Adventure games in extremely high regard, if nothing else but for being the first ones I played.

I thought it was cool, how did silver suck as a character?

Who?

No I don't want a picture, I want to know how he ties in with the whole story in canon.
5ku112
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?
