For some reason I keep hoping the our lil' blue friend will get an adrenaline shot directly in the heart to get him started again, but after so many failed games, is there any chance of a Sonic revival left?

Has any game series managed to come back with a AA or AAA title after 6 consecutive stinkers?

If this one misses the mark (which I hope it doesn't), I think it's time for Sega to pull the plug on Sonic and let the poor bastard die with some shred of dignity left intact.

I guess I should've believed Simon Jeffrey when he stated shortly after Sonic 2006's release that new Sonics would appear on the PS2 for the next three to five years...

And at the risk of starting another arguement that'll keep me up all night...I continue to be not impressed by what I've seen of this game.

Not bad, as long as they squeeze some great visuals out for the Wii version (Sonic and the Secret Rings was when it came out, was a great looking Wii game in my opinion) GO FORTH SEGA!!
Just er...don't make it rubbish ok??

@teraphony: "I don't think the Wii would necessarily be that terrible a downgrade. They aren't going to be maxing out the 360 and PS3 yet and the Wii hasn't been used to capacity either."

Precisely. Yet every other gamer with an internet connection seems to think they know exactly what the Wii is capable of and assume that the current crop of games represent the absolute limits of the machine's power. All without ever having developed a game themselves, no less.

It does get rather yawnsome constantly listening to people bleat about how the Wii isn't powerful enough to do this or that...

@Xcite79: So, wait - worse graphics translates to 'shallow' now?

Don't get me wrong, PS3/60 graphics are great (and it's not just the higher resolution and more polygons or whatever - also a potential to use the increased CPU power for better physics, unique explosions, whatever) but there aren't very many PS3/60 games which couldn't have been done on a PS2 or Wii with exactly the same level of depth in story and gameplay. Occasionally, sure, memory limitations would be a problem (Wii only has about 80MB RAM compared to 512MB)

Of course it's guaranteed that a Wii (let alone PS2) version of any game will have much worse graphics than the PS3/60 version, but there's no fundamental reason why the game should actually be worse other than that, or any shallower. (This is a Sonic game; even in the unlikely event that it's good, are you really expecting 'deep'?)

Often, the Wii version is worse but that's usually because it's a port done by a random development team in 3 weeks... not that I'm saying that will happen here... but it probably will.

Who cares? Gameplay actually looks like it could be the funnest it's been on a console Sonic since the 2D era... I guess I just don't care how it looks or what system it's for, since I'll probably be getting it regardless.

Is it me, or does that look exactly like an alleyway in Delfino Plaza from Mario Sunshine?

I don't think the Wii would necessarily be that terrible a downgrade. They aren't going to be maxing out the 360 and PS3 yet and the Wii hasn't been used to capacity either. So somewhere in that middle ground, we may find quality all can enjoy if they do things properly.

Wait...trying to find harmony amongst console arguments? I think I lose the internets.

Tiber — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 09:30:24 MDT

Why does everyone think that the Wii version is a port of the PS2 version? I understand they will probably use the same engine, but I would think it would be the other way around. Think of it this way: how many copies do they expect to sell of the PS2 version compared to the Wii version? I would imagine they would sell significantly more of the Wii version. If they don't do some technical upgrades for the Wii version, then in my eyes Sega might as well be another shovelware developer.

Wow. Sega in sensible decision shocker. I always thought the Wii and PS2 would've been the ideal platforms for this game, but knowing Sega's tendency to do the exact opposite of anything sensible these days, I half expected this to be a PS3 exclusive or something.

Also, I think it's ignorant and idiotic to assume the Wii would not have been capable of this game on the strength of the early videos. The Wii is obviously not a graphical powerhouse, but the way it's talked about by gamers, you wouldn't think it was any more capable than the PS1.

So, the PS2 version will have what, scaled down graphics vs. the PS3, or do you think actual plot/gameplay changes? I mean, the Wii interface is way different, for all it's an aggrandized gamecube, but no one uses SIXAXIS motion control, so why the two different Sony releases?

Man, I haven't played Sonic since the Genesis. That and TMNT were my favorite cartoons. I hope this doesn't spoil my nostalgic memories.

God I love sonic still so much. I want a true return to the formula of the genesis. Bring me childhood obession alive again please sega. Seriously all they would need to do is take the sonic rush series and bring a viable next gen art with some proper 3d angles like in the original Sonic Adventure on DC and this game will rock. It seems after Sonic Adventure Sega thought more crap=better when the simple style with a few important tweaks can easily make an excellent game. Sega, you just got a boost to sonic with Dark Brotherhood rumor, the surprise hit Of Sonic+Mario @ Olympics, and his absolute awesomeness in brawl. This is your chance to make a sonic game not suck again and bring our blue blur back into the black (nice alliteration eh?)

WolvenOne — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 19:14:24 MDT

Sonic hate..... bothers me. Don't get me wrong, a lot of the most recent Sonic games were disappointing. However, the sheer amount of, vitriolic hate spewed and Sega/Sonic, is simply awe astounding to me.

I mean, hate, is not an emotion that comes easily to me. To me, the emotion feels, uncomfortable, if not outright unnatural, and it's actually a huge struggle for me to hold onto the emotion for more than a couple moments.

So when I see a game I don't like it, I simply toss it aside and forget about it. I figure that it wasted enough of my time already, without me fixating on it for who knows how long.

So when I see so much Sega, Squaresoft, Microsoft, Sony, etc hate, it simply astounds me. How is it possible to hold onto such emotions for so long? How is it even helpful to do so?

I dunno, I guess I simply do not get it, and as such it bothers me.

probably more suitable anyway, since im still playing mose gamecube games on it, as i missed out on that era (had a Dreamcast at the time!)

But seriously, i hope they Sega would be sensible and try to put some effort into the Wii version, i don't have the time to buy another console just for one game.

i'm more likely to fire up my Dreamcast then to touch another Sega game, so it better be good, srga you hear?! BETTER!

oh and im happy its going to be released on the ps2, i dont know if by november i already have a next gen, im not very in the mood to buy one, so far with some good exceptions next gen games have been so uninspiring to me, x360 have already two years on the market, ps3 and wii one year, and only a few games interests me, thats somewhat disturbing!

RRRansom — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 18:33:44 MDT

The video and pics looked alright, but they were leaked video and pics. I'm pretty sure most of the camera work for the gameplay was just to show off the stage or something preset that the camera does when you're going up loop-de-loops. We still have the behind-Sonic view, but the real question is if they reworked the engine to let us go get secrets without the camera being all like "Hai guys wut are you doin?" Oh, and if Sonic turns, we turn with him. Not all this "THE STAGE IS THAT WAY!" crap we've been dealing with.

That scenery sure look purty though.

@Fatass of Kickassness: Hey, Secret Rings has the best graphics of any third-party game on the Wii. Graphics have tended to be the least of the new Sonic's problems.

The Wii's technical drawbacks are massively overstated and lead lazy developers to cut the graphics using that as an excuse. Nintendo and Sega have proven them completely wrong.

Really? It's going to be for the Wii too? I just hope it doesn't end up being like GH3 on all the systems, where if you played the Wii version and compared it to say, the XBox 360 version, you could noticeably tell the differences in quality. (Graphic quality, that is) If they can make it as lovely for the Wii as it is for the PS3, I'll give them crazy kudos.

WolvenOne — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 18:00:58 MDT

I find this somewhat interesting, because it essentially means there are going to be two different different incarnations of the game running different engines. After all, I would find it surprising if the PS2 version was running the same engine as the Xbox360 version.

It'll be interesting to see just what the differences are between the two versions. I mean, even given that the levels aren't going to be dramatically different, there should be differences in models, textures, frame-rates and possible bugs.

As for the game itself, it looks darn good at a glance. It's pretty difficult to screw up 2D Sonic game play, so there's a very good chance that the game will be fun to play. Though I am still hoping they don't go too hokey/gimmicky with the plot, it wouldn't ruin the game play, but I would still prefer a return to the simplistic un-intrusive Sonic plots that we had during the Genesis era.

PSP gets PS2's castoffs and DS gets new titles. 360 and PS3 have to share and Wii gets its own title. See Mario and Sonic, Brawl. It may be down to the Nintendo platform's unique attributes as well but it seems like Sega likes always doing something special for Nintendo

@ph15h: Then the original gameboy went through about 100 "gens" with all the slimlines and colors and whatnot... I guess that makes the PSP a 108th generation handheld, and the slimline PSP a 109th generation, especially since the new PSP does have more ram.

I wish they'd stop making PS2 games... The PS2 honestly needs to die to encourage growth of the PS3, which still isn't doing THAT great even if sales have picked up for it a lot.

@cameleon: No More Heroes has a great style going for it but graphically it looks like shit. Keep in mind I loved the game enough to turn a Travis pic into my avatar. And Metroid Prime 3/Super Mario Galaxy are all over the place when it comes to visuals. What do I mean?

In Metroid Prime 3, start a new game, and play through the GFS Olympus. Beautiful looking stage, technically (and artistically). Then go to Bryyo. Great place artistically, but outside of some cleverly used bloom and HUD lighting effects, it looks pretty meh.

In Super Mario Galaxy, go to Gusty Garden Galaxy (which has my favorite video game music of all time, just thought I'd add that). Fucking beautiful. What with the high poly count and the great draw distance, you could fool yourself into thinking you were looking at a 360 game. Then, beat the level and go back to the main hub. Horrid looking place.

The Wii has power - I'd just like to see a developer utilize it consistantly. Sega will NOT be that company. Why? 'Cuz as a developer, Sega and Sonic Team are fucking lazy. Mark my words - as much as I love the Wii, this WILL be a PS2 port. Sega is just like that.

@Moonshadow101: The Wii does have great graphical capabilities, mind you not as good as the PS3 or 360. However you should not judge the Wii by the PS2 ports it has been given, bear that in mind they are ports, which would mean that pretty much none of the games assets would have been changed but if you think of the Wii specific titles(AAA titles, not the lastest brand cash in) they look great. Nameley Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, GH3 and No More Heroes to name a few

@Polywhirl: Agreed. Gamestop loves playing the guessing game, just so they can throw the games up on a "coming soon" list, hype them like crazy, and push pre-orders on everyone who comes in. And hey, if the game turns out not to be coming out for that system, then they can only hope that those who pre-ordered it will forget about the money they already put down.

@Polywhirl: I remember some site having Super Mario Galaxy for the 360. But I think that was a joke and not a mixup...

@Mini-Boss: my thoughts exactly.

November so far sounds good now, GOW2 + Sonic Unleashed.
Sega had me hooked at that teaser.

Gamestop listing a game for a console doesn't mean anything.
Didn't they list a 360 MGS4 before already?
They just add those in randomly.

It wouldn't be far fetched that whichever engine they are using can be scaled up or down depending on the target platform.

This being SEGA I'm sure they split the codebase into 360/PS3 code and PS2/Wii code.

I'll wait and see, as a HUGE Sonic fan I want a fun Sonic game and this looks like one.

I can see it happening, seeing as Sega is currently in the midset of releasing ALL games on ALL systems.

As a Wii owner, I would also be happy if this were the case (I'd be even happier if the game turned out as good as people are hyping it to be).

It technically IS a GameCube Turbo, but I just hate how people call it last Gen. Does graphics really determine the generation it belongs in? Generation just means the next incarnation of the console/portable.

Sorry, couldn't help myself. Either way, here's hoping it's good.

November 4th 2009 would be better. Take all the time they can to make this not suck.
