Didn't they say they would let the franchise rest a while?
Perhaps it's something else besides a videogame to do with Sonic?
I think the real tragedy here is Kotaku's userbase. Discuss the announcement? No, let's argue about whether Sonic Adventure was a better game that Shadow the Hedgehog and how Sonic needs to be 2D again and how they should release Sonic 3 & Knuckles on the Wii!
Elusive: Exactly like Sega-16's userbase, pretty much.
Maybe it's a Star Wars tie in. Sonic takes on Palpatine!
Maybe Sega can get its act together, fire those useless 4Kids jerks, and make a decent game without dumb gameplay, crap camera, and other things.
However, if it was a semi-crossover...
No, I can't really see Sonic racing on Ecco's back.
Sonic on Ecco's back.... sound interesting _((XD))_->B
Sonic unleashed?
With Sega's recent fails I wouldn't be surprised if this is a dog-walking game.
Sonic finds some rings infected with....CHEMICAL X!
Now he's giant and green and eats robots, along with the fucking chaos.

This is pretty much how the last game started. Sega releases some footage of just Sonic to build up some false hope of returning to the roots, then before you know it they'll drown us in the next batch of Sonic's shitty friends©
Here's what they need to do:
1. FIRE THE FREAKING 4KIDS "ACTORS"
2. Get rid of Big the Cat, does he even need to exist?
3. Stop writing "serious" storylines that are actually silly
4. Bring back some old characters like Fang the Sniper (Knack the Weasel if you are PC), Metal Sonic (he's in Sonic Rivals 2, but...), and the other guys from Chaotix
5. Enough with the Eggpawns and E-series, can we see some variety in the Badniks for once?
6. All plots do not need to involve the Chaos Emeralds (I know it's necessary for Super Sonic, but it's overused)
7. Knuckles should do something on that island of his that doesn't involve talking to locals (Sonic Adventure DX, I'm looking at you)
8. Why does G.U.N. get dragged into every single thing that happens? They're not exactly the coolest thing since sliced bread...
9. Dr. Ro..er "Eggman" needs more than two lines per boss fight...(Shadow the Hedgehog [remember the Egg Breaker fight?])
10. ENOUGH WITH THE NEW CHARACTERS ALREADY!!!!
11. Please, no pseudo-religious/magical gobbledygook (Sonic the Hedgehog 360/PS3)
12. Recycling the same freaking stages every game is not good
13. Do we really need Knuckles/Rouge flirting? I mean, what is this, some weird Bishounen/furry crossover?
14. Crush 40 needs to go. NOW! (I Am was a decent song, but All Hail Shadow? And don't get me started on Sonic Heroes.)
15. Stop trying to appeal to kids. The way Sega does this is just insulting (mind you it was worse when they made Shadow the Hedgehog)
16. Stop making idiots out of characters (Chaotix being the worst, Tails a close second)
17. Does every new character have to pull a Knuckles and get tricked by Robotnik? (There, I said Robotnik. AND I AM NOT SAYING EGGMAN, YOU SOULLESS CORPORATE FREAKS! sorry...inner fanboy)
18. Do more with what you've got, insteading of creating new stuff
19. We do not need an evil alternate universe Robotnik.
20. Hedgehogs and machineguns do not mix.
21. Why is the ARK even that important? (I mean, other than committing mass genocide on the Black Arms)
22. You don't short music videos to open each game.
Well, that's about it for now...
Honestly let Sonic die with some dignity or let him go out with a bang instead of whoring him out like that fat plumber mario(at least mario has a decent game every once in a while). Better yet, let Sonic commit Hara-Kiri and brutally murder all his so-called "friends".
Damn right!Quote:

C'mon people! The new Sonic games aren't THAT bad! The only Sonic game I can see people complaining about is Shadow the Hedgehog.
The new games aren't that bad: Put the old games aside and look at the new games again with a new mind set. The new games ARE NOT BAD. Just diferent from what we grew up with.
Take the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Everyone hates the new series and says they need to go back to what "made the turtles famous". But the new series is good...just diferent from what we grew up with.
They aren't THAT bad. The only voice actor I don't like is Caren Manuel, and even then sometimes she even surprises me by doing a well spoken line! Some voice actors are better than the old ones.Quote:

Lisa Ortez: My favorite voice actor in the Sonic games. I love that spanish flair she gives to Amy...I've never heard her speak a pooly deliverd line yer. A thousand times better than Jennifer's portrayal.
Big isn't that bad and he has appeard in, what? Two games? I bet if he was in Sonic and Knuckles you'd love 'em.Quote:

Shadow: "Maria, this is what you wanted, right? This is the promice I made to you..."
Sonic: He was what he was...a brave and heroic Hedgehog...who gave his life to save the planet...Shadow the Hedgehog.
Mighty was never part of the Choatix. Mighty was just a traveller who just happend to be in wrong place at the wrong time. You don't want Heavy and Bomb back...do you?Quote:

I never understand why people hate Sonic Adventure 2...everyone I know likes it and its on my top 5 list of best games.
Again, put down your Genesis controler, and look at the games in a new light: There better than what anyone says.
How can anyone hate Sonic Adventure 2, yet like a piece of trash like Halo? All it is MINDLESS SHOOTING!!! HAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHH!!!
And, anyone who didn't like the ending to Sonic Adventure:
1) Has no heart
2) Has no idea what a touching story is.
3) Too busy complaining that this isn't a 2D Sonic game, which is dumb because a 3D game should have a completly diferent feel to it.
I agree with you-IF were talking about the UK Sonic Comic book. In the games, Mighty WASN'T part of the Choatix.Quote:

I agree with you. I do like Robotnik better and I do like the term Badnik better.Quote:

My Sonic Triple Trouble manual says Sonic lives on a Planet called Mobius. My Sonic CD manual says PRINCESS SALLY was kidnaped buy Metal Sonic.Quote:

I wanted to like the game, I loved Sonic Adventure 1, but I just got bored with the having to play non-sonic levels.
I like Sonic Adventure 2 because it changed the gameplay after every level.
I don't know about anyone else, but pressing forward, and jump gameplay get boring after the 6th level, almost to the point where your like:
"C'mon! When to get to the end already?"
Sonic Adventure 1 bored me...not to mention made my ears bleed:
"AUGGGHHHH! Is that it?"
"Your right my friend, so here we GOOOOOO!"
"Get a load of this!"
"Get a load of this!"
"Get a load of this!"
"Get a load of this!"
Despite that, I think Sonic Adventure 1 is a good game, just not one of my favorites
Looks awesome to me so far...and I do agree Sonic works better in 2D...then again it could be that I like 2D games better....maybe there doing what Super Mario Galaxy did:Quote:

The Knuckles levels were mindless tedious, Tails was strapped into a machine and you could play as Robotnik, which shouldn't be allowed. The whole good Vs evil was so homosexual that after playing it I went to buy a pink handbag to make myself feel more manly.Quote:

I knew they would find a way to fuck this up real bad.
"It involves a werewolf-style Sonic"...
http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.ni...shed032308.jpg
I have a barf bag, all ready for this.
Sonic Team just cannot make good games any more. Fact.
OMFG, if they go through with this wolf bullshit, i'll forever stick to playing sonic on the genesis. They need to leave out all the crappy extra junk, like what's that "ring power" used for in the screenshots, it better be for nothing more than a super burst of speed or something related. When will they ever learn that what made sonic games so popular in the first place was their ease of play, yet enthralling story. I thought they were on the right track, until I saw this wolf thing, now I could be wrong. We need to start some sort of petition.
I just hope Shadow isnt in it. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!
I've realized that I can no longer talk shit about Shadow.
Why?
Because I remembered that Waluigi is the stupidest fucking character ever created.
What about Kao the Kangaroo?
I have no idea who that is but it can't be nearly as fucking dumb as Waluigi.
He's a fucking evil version of the 2nd player character...he's the VG equivalent of being picked last for a sport.
Imagine if there was an evil Tails. Who wants to play as evil Tails? Who wants to play as evil Luigi?
As soon as they said it involved a werewolf-style Sonic my interest died....when it goes back to roots it really should be "BACK TO ROOTS" not with some new mechanic.
The problem with Sega is they don't seem to understand that they no longer need to put a gimmick in a sonic game to make it sell! They could just remove all the crap and go back to its roots completely and it would sell! It could be 2d with some fancy effects as far as i care!
But this need to make sonic 3d because 3d is cool is total balls :)

I've researched this "Kao the Kangaroo" and determined that he is, at worst, unable to be a spectacular character.
He is not ultra lame like an evil Luigi.
Waluigi is pathetic, if anyone at Nintendo actually got paid to think him up then theres no justice in the world. He will never star in his own game.
Someone finally sees the light.
Waluigi is the lamest, most pathetic video game character ever conceived in the history of video games.
"Shadow the Hedgehog" might be terrible, but a Waluigi game would be a crime against humanity.
Waluigi's concept is dumb, but I think his character is much needed. Wario can't tourment the Mario Bros by him self, can he?
Ok, how about Mr Pants?
Creative energy was wasted to come up with that lame ass Waluigi when that energy could have been used to explain a Wario/Bowser alliance.
But I guess since Wario seems to be pretty cool, he would need some lame shit sidekick to do important tasks like:
Unclogging the toilet.
Bringing the car around.
Watering the flowers.
On a daily basis remind Wario how much cooler he is than Waluigi.
