RECKENEFIN Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Didn't see any posts on this, so I thought I would contribute. Realizing Sega's current track record with reviving retro Sonic, this looks like it has some potential, whatever it is they're planning. I like how the world is a 3d version of an old Genesis world, but it's covered in dust, almost like it hasn't been touched in a while. Probably reading into it a bit much, but that's what it looked like to me. Anyway, just thought I'd share. Thoughts, theories, etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollgagh Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I am 100% sure that there is no deep meaning behind anything in that trailer this is freaking sega we're talking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RECKENEFIN Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 I guess it depends on which way they run with it. One of the theories on it was just turning the old sonic games into 3d versions with the current graphics, which I personally think would work better than their attempt at turning the 3d game 2d (Sonic 4 didn't do a whole lot for me). If nothing else, it could be a good nostalgia trip. And like I said, probably reading into it too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gario Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Oh shit, Sonic finally did it. He banged Amy, just like she always wanted. Either that or he did that human chick from that one game... What a twist. You know, I can see their potential hook to this game - two playable characters, so this game could have co-op. There's a big problem with that, though - co-op didn't even work back when Sonic was good, so what would make them think it'd work now? If there's no co-op (or anything to make it stand out) then it's just another rehash of Sonic that we've been seeing for the past decade. Nothing new (other than the question of who's offspring that is, Sonic and...?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RECKENEFIN Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 like into the groundWhile that will probably be the case, I'm trying to be optimistic. The last 2 console games weren't that bad, were they?. . . oh right, the werehog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollgagh Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 (other than the question of who's offspring that is, Sonic and...?). okay stop that as bad as this game is going to be I'll not stand you bashing classic sonic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phalanx Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Sonic Colors was actually rather amusing. I daresay its the best Sonic game in a decade. It does what they failed to do for so long: be FUN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleck Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I thought Sonic Colours was a good Sonic game but otherwise still sort of mediocre maybe I just don't have the reflexes to enjoy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrumUltimA Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I liked the trailer. I was thinking "okay, you can use the new sonic model, but just make this good." And then I saw the old model. Hopefully they won't kill him too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDX Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I like how some people think the smaller Sonic is his kid. And what's sad is they're probably right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AkumajoBelmont Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I thought Sonic Colours was great. Awesome fun without the tacked-on BS as is norm. Can I just say, the old Sonic in the teaser looks frikken awesome. Sonic needs his black eyes back. They're uber-adorable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmadonRK Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I daresay its the best Sonic game in a decade. It does what they failed to do for so long: be FUN. Almost, but not quite. Sonic Adventure 2 released just under ten years ago, making that the best Sonic game in a decade. Didn't we already do this when Sonic 4 was coming out? I swear I've vehemently advocated the underrated SA2 before. It's okay though, we can go through it again for the next Sonic announcement as well, we never seem to get tired of it.

Tensei Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Sonic: Unleashed was actually good if you discount the werehog levels (seriously, don't tell me wasn't fun). Sonic Colours was basically Sonic Unleashed without the werehog levels, so it was a good, if a bit short game. I think cautious optimism could be warranted this time around.

The Phalanx Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Sonic Adventure 2 released just under ten years ago You're getting away on a technicality there, you jerksock. And while I don't MIND SA2, it was a schizophrenic mess that needed some serious mechanical polish and a more refined level design. Also no racing levels, goddamn they were terrible.
