Do you all want the game to fail that much? Well piss your pants with joy if it does for all I care. Find whatever reason you can to dismiss this game. If none of you want the series back to its former glory, then what is the point? There are no new characters in sight, no treasure hunting, fishing,...

My thoughts were the same about this Westopolis looking level when I first saw it, but upon closer inspection everything looks all rusted and decayed and it reminded me of the "Ancient Relics" from that Sonic movie, only engulfed in flames and under attack by robots. So instead of Westopolis II, I w...

At least that Super Sonic doesn't have that strange superfluous side-quill that Shadow has in Sonic X. That always annoyed the hell out of me.

My vote goes to Sonic Rush. If I said why, I would just be repeating what everyone else here have said. As for its BGM, while I don't like the vocals, I like that strange Genesis styled beat playing in the background. I cannot describe why, but it sounds very Genesis-like. Sonic 3D [Saturn] was also...

Is it just me or does Sonic look like total ass nowadays? Or is that just a really bad picture of him? Just a really bad picture. I know I've said this before, but God I hate the design of the new Puyo games. I miss (not blue-outlined) Arale-chan and the rest of the old Puyo cast. I do like the sty...

Very interesting. A festival for Sonic CD? It also seems strange how SegaEmu is acknowledging Sonic Eraser as an actual Sonic game as opposed to some forever-to-be lost tech-demo for the Mega Modem. Also, Yuji Naka working at Yumeshiya could have some connection with Yuji Naka's rumored departure fr...

I don't see why only the first Sonic game is on these top 100 lists. They can be assed to include a whole bunch of variations of Final Fantasy, Mario Kart, and even some obscure CD-i games (That was an exaggeration), but they could not bother to include Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, or e...

I feel to see how this makes inferior products more acceptable. They are not acceptable. Never said they were. I am just stating that with different people involved, the direction changes, mostly for the worst. Bullshit. A lot of the old games have strong nostalgiac appeal, but we're not all blinde...

I do agree with Crazy Penguin actually. We are long due for a proper Sonic sequel. Sonic Rush really does not count, not because it is unrefined or anything, but because it does not particularly carry the values of its classic brethren. Knuckles Chaotix suffered from this too. Chaotix may have a coo...

I learned from an armadillo today that my constant praising is not what is going to save the Sonic series. I have to stop making every Sonic game sound good just to make you all feel confident of the series resurrection. I do want the series to live again, but it will not if I keep handing in the go...

Your point is debatable because long running series tend to dip in quality more often than not. The people orginally involved with said series leave and new people, most of the time with a completely different artistic sense, get hired. Takashi Iizuka will not be the director of the series forever. ...

Moot point. The Mega-Drive games have everything that makes a great game. Then you have nostalgia on their side. Most people, including myself, were introduced to video games with Sonic.

In the Sonic Museum page. The Holocaust, is it? Suitable, but I felt it was more of a year with two sides for Sonic. More like Yin and Yang, mind you. Think about it...

Meh. I tend to ignore everything that happened post Sonic Adventure, so I still like Metal Sonic. From the translation, it appears Robo 2 only uses Metal Sonic's engine, meaning Metal Sonic's shell still remains. For all we know, Robo 2 could be Metal Sonic, but in another body.

According to this thread , it appears Matt Wilson cancelled the series because of fans stalking him and financial concerns with his family.

Wow. His shadow is pixellated. Sure, it's better than those black circles used in Shadow the Hedgehog, but hopefully we will not notice the pixellated shadows in the final version of this one. Blah.

While Sonic and his enemies will look better than ever, you can't create a game simply based on eye candy. To keep the rest of the visuals on par with the character models, players will find themselves immersed in a world incredibly more expansive than anything they've seen in the past. So does thi...
