So, now he's a werewolf and shit.

Right.

[Jaybell]

Sonic's his name and speed is his game.

And by speed I mean lol sonic team

[lazygecko]

Can't wait for them to introduce the next batch of Sonic's shitty friends™

[Murmeli Walan]

And thus the cycle of the Sonic fan continues again...

The screenshots look awesome, the trailer looks awesome, the concept sounds decent and unique, and Sonic fans all over are crossing their fingers hoping this is Sonic's return to console glory.

It's Sonic Riders/Sonic Heroes/Shadow the Hedgehog/Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 all over again.

[I-n-j-i-n]

Call me crazy, but Sonic's shitty friends™ are basically cooler and more dynamic than Sonic is nowadays. It's just that they find ways to mess around with Sonic's premise.

[Sir_NutS]

well, not quite.

Most of those games looked like they were going to be shit from the start. This one tho, had a great trailer showing classic sonic gameplay in a 3d environment, which surely tickled my fancy.

But then this, a werewolf? slow brawling gameplay in a sonic game? yeah cuz that's what sonic fans have been asking for years ;

[Sobou]

And this looks to be another reason to add to the pile if people ask me why I stopped playing Sonic games after the Genesis.

Seriously, a werewolf/beast-thing? Gimme a break.

[Steben]

Yawn.

I'll await the reviews as always, but the only Sonic game I've ever bothered to buy from this decade was Rush.

[Effef]

why do you do this sonic team

whyyyy

I swear to god they pander to the furries

[Scufo]

Bandwagon much? Come on Sega. This shit isn't cool anymore.

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahah

[Blake]

lol gg no rm

[Strike911]

Put a bullet in the series already. It's like watching a dying dog gasping for air. Just end this Sonic Team. It's just inhumane.

Well, the game itself looks like a nice change of direction.

Faith in a Sonic game though is wasted energy though.

[DjSammyG]

so okay, 2 things. One, they're gonna keep the roster to just sonic, knuckles, tails, and the guys from SA and stuff. Two, did you see the trailer? The 2D action looks awesome. Don't assume yet. Third, http://kotaku.com/photogallery/sonicunleashed/1001001125?viewSize=thumb1280x1280

[StandingInMotion]

Sonic's already an animal...

And I vaguely remember something about "everyone's favorite video game character" already transforming into a wolf:

[Zombie]

Hmm... I wonder if sonic team will stop making games for a certain amount of signatures.

I'm relatively certain that the picture you linked to was Sonic's face when they told him Sonic Team was at it again. They probably took the picture for lulz, then realized how depressing it was that even Sonic thinks this shit has gone on for long enough.

[Airwalker]

You never know, we might finally get a new, decent Sonic game for a console.

My fingers have been permanently crossed for about the past decade.

[JCvgluvr]

Jeez with all the negativity in this thread...Everyone knows the Sonic Advance games, Sonic Rush games, and Sonic and the Secret Rings were good games. If not good, at least they were better than average.

Assuming the werewolf mechanic doesn't dominate the gameplay, this should be a great game for Sonic.

[Unstable Hamster]

Well, the game itself looks like a nice change of direction.

This statement right here is what I found what's wrong in ALL sonic games lately. (Except for the Sonic Rush Series.)

I heard they were making it 2-d. Awesome.

I saw the video of him running thru a level. Sweet.

I saw the picture of him as a werewolf. F@#k.

They better not go too much with this werewolf thing, it seems deviation is what ruined the other games.

[iskyoork]

Maybe the werewolf thing will be a story element only.

And maybe ill win the lotto someday...

[DjSammyG]

I bet the werewolf'll work like a combo between knuckles in SA 1 and 2 and the hulk in that one game. I didn't mind either. I bet I'll end up enjoying it, even if it is kind of retarded to make sonic a werewolf in the first place.

[Thalzon]

Do we really know if the werewolf thing is gonna be slower than the typical Sonic gameplay? What if he maintains his speed but just gets wall-climbing and drilling through the ground or stuff along those lines?

[The Coop]

What is hairy Sonic, is the new Super Sonic? Faster, able to just plow through things, and only after he has all the Chaos Emeralds.
