Not a whole lot, but a new good Sonic game would be quite awesome.

The last story had over 300 replies. I had no idea people were so interested in Sonic. Or that they were so interested in arguing about Sonic.

The earth is now the little sun. earth has just exploded run for your lives.

yeah, as long as it isnt as horrible as the secret rings or the new ps3 one that i cant quite remember the name. they sucked balls

A good Sonic game? That's proven to be a feat. But a Great Sonic Game? Like the first... well turning that sudo crazy multi-laned trill ride into a Polished 3D game would be... epic. (I've never played a Sonic Game, personally *except the pinball on the Genesis at a Shoe store...)

Looks at the Screens....... Don't Panic!

The placement of that website plaque fills me with the fear that they've decided to "accurize" Sonics anatomy.

I remember the days where boys and girls thought that Sonic was cooler than all the Mario Bros. combined.

Arahem:
I wouldn't worry about that too much. The hedgehog can never be buggered at all.

sega's plan to destroy the planet revealed

Concept eh? Now, is that mobius, or is this going to be a tragedy of it happening on earth?
I didn't mind Sonic Adventure, but meh...
It's better off if he's on a fictional world.

@Arahem:
Well that banner isn't very flattering for Sonic then.

Great news. My Dreamcast has been hungry for a new game.

@Knight-Zero: I am actually still of this opinion, though that is certainly not me saying Sonic's games are better. As a mascot and as a character I just find him ultimately more interesting, if for nothing more than the fact that he has a personality (though it has ranged from good to soul-rapingly bad)

The world ending... the perfect metaphor for when we'll be getting the next great Sonic game.

@AntiZERO:
Earth: Mostly Harmless.

Here's hoping this game ends up being good...I still like Sonic, even if Secret Rings made me want to choke the closest Sega employee to me.

I really enjoyed the first sonic adventure, the second one though, forcing the user to play through those shitty find the emerald pieces levels ( made even gayer by randomizing the position of the emerald's each time) just to play the awesome sonic ones made me give up ever beating that game. I also didn't really like the gba ones too much, unless you where some kind of god you would never find all 7 chaos emeralds even with a map.

@Afore Notation: "I'm son rad!" characters are never interesting. If anything, Sonic is nothing more but the product of the 90's then hip attitude of 'extreme is cool.' He's always been lame and will keep on being lame.

Still, I wish they made Mario-caliber Sonic game, because that would only be fair.

This better be a good Sonic game. Although I've owned more Nintendo consoles than Sega, I always liked the Sonic Gameplay more than the Mario one. Hopefully this would be a good one... Not like those "OOOoOOOoOOO it's HD watch me go through it very fast" or those "let's add new characters that don't really do anything different from their counterparts" Sonic Games. I want a Genesis/Game Gear (Yes, I own one...) OG Sonics, or even the original Adventures and the GBA/DS Sonic Games.
Heck... I liked Secret Rings on the Wii more than the ones on the 360 or the PS3 or the Heroes awhile back.

Spoilers: It will control like a mobility scooter with square wheels

I think it's a rule now that the quality of a Sonic game is directly proportional to the number of his "friends" appearing in it.

Have any of his shitty friends made an appearance in a leaked screenshot yet?

@Elliuotatar: Heh. I see what you did there.

Pratchett ftw.

Alzheimer's sucks.

maybe this new game is for dreamcast 2 but they haven't mentioned which consoles its going to be on.

@Ruglia:

Sonic may be lame to you. But like many others who like Sonic, I couldn't give a shit what you think about him.

I hope the 3D parts of this game are at least as good as Sonic Adventure on Dreamcast. And the 2d parts: as good as the Sonic games from Genesis. From the clips though the game looks quite fun.

@Aflack: Likes slushies: SOOOOOONNNICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
I miss my childhood.

@DocBacca:
Then I have what may be slightly bad news for you.

Knock out any involvement with humans = Decent Sonic game
Knock out those useless characters like Big the Cat = Great Sonic game

Guys, I think I have a solution.

I'm getting kind of suspicous about this. I hope it's real but this doesn't even seem like a leak anymore. It's more like what you'd expect from a press release.

@Korey: I meant inversely proportional T_T

@Yeux de nouilles: I'm guessing you haven't seen the were-Sonic pics?

@Korey:

None, but a press release said that the only other playable characters would be Tails and Knuckles.

Thats a very, very good sign.

Reminds me of the first level in Mario Galaxy...but Sonic seems to be coming back! Sega, keep it this way.

@Afore Notation: We're not exactly little boys anymore are we? Anatomy wise at least.

ugh... pants are beginning to tent. must... remain... skeptical.

honestly who cares. Every Sonic game has SUCKED since Sonic Adventure. This one WON'T be different.

Is that his HAIR or is his HEAD just naturally shaped like a hunched-back starfish?

Ryan Drummond please.

There're... there are Vogons in the game?

D:

:D

D:

I'm pretty damn stoked for this game.

Lol, i think seeing a sonic game with planetary stuff destroyed is quite the norm now...

They destroyed most of the moon in Sonic Adventure 2, split the earth up in Sonic Advance 3, destroyed several cities and comets in the remainder..

Not that it's ever a bad thing

While I appreciate the speed of the video, it also might be confirming something I don't want. It seems more like secret rings than anything else, which is the "You have no control if you are running or not" mechanic that I despise greatly. I'd take shitty camera angles over that, any day.

@boxofthegods: God, you're so right. Adventure 2 was such an awesome game, until you got to the damn treasure hunting stages, where the whole game just grinded to a halt and tortured you for hours and hours until you could get to the fun parts again. I actually wanted to know what was up with Shadow, but the treasure stages were so utterly and completely crappy that I just couldn't finish the game.

Also, I hope this is real, although the video has some jerky camera movement.

@DarkCode: I wouldn't be too worried. In the 2D style segments, the trailer has Sonic moving back while jumping off of a spring. I'm hoping that backwards movement = ability to control running.

You only get to play as the original trio and no one else? That sounds promising so far!

Although, I really hope they fix Tails' personality this time around. He's gone from the adorable sidekick to low-self-esteem-kid-in-need-of-moral-guidance!

@Darkest Daze:
its 'up' in that pic. ;)

Sonic Unleashed has been confirmed by Gametrailers.

Front page.

It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine~♪

I can't believe I never thought about "Sonic Boom" as it relates to the Hedgehog. I am astounded it never occurred to me. I wish I were being sarcastic, because now I feel like a bit of a thickie.

These images really don't strike me as real. The previous batch, sure, but these honestly seem fake to me.

Wow, Sonic Galaxy

*Waits for sick burn on that comment*

@Lijik: How was there a press release? SEGA are yet to even confirm this game.

@Knight-Zero: And that is supposed to mean...what exactly?
@Ruglia: They are NEVER interesting? Thats hardly a fair claim, especially when considering the other character in this discussion by very definition has no soul. But yeah, as I've said, Sonic has had some BAD writing and it has only gotten worse, but he had sort of a short-lived golden age in his comic series (Sonic the Hedgehog, not the Sonic X stuff) and I'm confident Bi
