They didn't specifically say a new Sonic game was in the works for 2017, just the start of a new project. It could mean filming on the movie will start next year.

To me it looks more like Sonic is running over a typical collapsing bridge, but instead of just falling off screen the round bits of the bridge land below and roll along the ground, piling up against a wall. That would've been a neat effect showing off the slope physics. Has any platformer done that?

I can't read the captions though, so maybe it's more like what you're describing.

There's lots of interesting concept art from the event:

I can't find it now, although it was posted on the GHZ many years ago. If I find it, I will post it.

I've seen this one attached to some of the collections of concept art floating around from that:

I don't recall seeing any of the "pants" versions of the Boom character design before. Also this weird thing where he has arms that are both blue AND peach--can't say those were designed with easy-reading/animation in mind!

Yuzo Koshiro tweeted this photo of materials used when Ancient was working on Sonic 1 for Game Gear:

Don't know if that's a 25th anniversary thing or if he was just sharing (he posted some stuff from Actraiser and Streets of Rage, too)
