You sound like a Cubs fan.

when was the last time the Cubs werent disappointing, the 1800's???

Because sega mad one of the greatist games of last generation at one time and Sonic was in it...Sonic Adventure was awesome....And Sega keeps messin it up...lol....Hopefully they can get it right!

Only disappointing thing I see in the video is the music!

Because fans of the series still love Sonic and want to see him in more good games.

Hope not. This game looks fantastic. Make it native 1080p and take my money today.

Nice avatar!

"Nay. We are but men! ROCK!!"

Pretty sure this was the 360 version, what with the LB and RB button cues.

And damn straight SA 1 & 2 and Heroes were enjoyable.

Thats the 360 version (which really doesn't matter) and this video has been up on IGN for a week now I think. Looks great IMO. I'm digging the new style.

"And damn straight SA 1 & 2 and Heroes were enjoyable."

I don't know. I liked Heroes, but both SA titles lacked real polish and had some pretty pathetic level design and gameplay elements. The voice acting made me want to scratch out my eardrums, as well.

I'm in this with Nigeria, Sonic Adventures were awesome, as was Heroes. It was Shadow and the 2006 game that sucked

Well, the wolf still has potential to be implemented well (lol, i know), but they've already thrown story out the window with this clip of sonic running around what appears to be an amalgamation of different European places, only further embelished with rails being every-fucking-where.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I really enjoyed the original 2d Sonics, and while I appreciate that this title is going back to its speedy roots, I really hope that there are lots of platforming areas, too.

I haven't replayed the later genesis Sonic games in forever, but I did replay Sonic 1 about a month ago and it really felt like they had two separate teams working on the game. Half of the zones (Yes, entire zones not small 'sections' like most people claim) are hold right to win fests while the other half were straight-up platforming marred by the fact that Sonic was as slippery as all get out.

Something tells me that the more combat oriented Werewolf sections will be what contains the straight-up platforming since the controls will theoretically be better suited for it. Or at least, if Sonicteam was smart thats what they would do.

Exactly! What made sonic games great was the memorable music which i still find myself humming quite frequently (while Sonic Adventure and games thereafter are struggling to have their soundtracks remembered). And also the good enemy design, as well as the fact that it didn't beat you round the face with A: a terrible story, B. the crappy acting that moves this story along, or C: retarded new characters.

Since Sonic 3 & Knuckles I think the status quo has been that you play a Sonic game to play as Sonic, Tails or Knuckles, with only slight deviations in the gameplay (when the hell did tails start building war mechs like in SA2!?) which enrich gameplay and give levels new elements to explore (who didn't love trying to find secret things flying about with Tails or Knuckles?)

I personally thought the music was kind of fun and catchy. *shrug*

But what do I know, I'm just a big Jerk Face.

As far as I'm concerned, they rarely have moments where they just can't churn out a good track on a Sonic game. This post inspired me to break out my old Sonic Adventure OST. Final Egg 1, Red Mountain 2, Twinkle Park 1, all of the Windy Valley, and more were great in that game.

Stop treating Sega like a retarded child. Yes, they've made shitty sonic games, but your acting like (to extend the metaphor) you'd be happy simply if Sega could simply dress itself properly, let alone express a coherent idea.

I don't want a mindless blur of random colours whilst being reassuredly patted on the back for doing the most mundanely simple of tasks.

Dude, I'm a hardcore sega fan; I've been a fanboy since the SMS days; and the fact is sega today _IS_ a retarded child compared to where they used to be. I'd like to see the old, great sega return again. The one that made all the kickass fun quirky titles that you couldn't even imagine another company producing. Part of that I'd think is getting a 3D sonic right. And you have to admit, it's a SIMPLE formula to nail, yet the haven't been able to in nearly a decade... a formula that they invented no less! Now you understand why I'd be happy to see sega, as you say, dress themselves properly?

yay chao =3
