Well, let's think about this. Uekawa originally did the character designs for Ristar... Meaning, he probably designed the bird people from Planet Sonata, the music planet, as well. And we have a hawk, an albatross and a swallow. I figure these new characters will look somewhat like the bird people from Sonata, but more Sonic orientated, and have multi-colored irises.

I would've called this a hoax for 2 reasons had it not been on IGN; firstly because Sonic Team actually used the word eXtreme, but especially because it not only introduces 3 new characters but only includes 4 old ones. That would make this the first game since SA1 that doesn't use Amy and at least one other of the new characters (unless they're unlockable). Not even Shadow made it. This sudden change of casting practice is confusing. I don't know what to make of it.
Could Storm the Albatross be an allusion to Rime of the Ancient Mariner?
As flattering as recognition of my angry ranting is, I must disappoint. I agree with G.Silver that Sonic has always tried to be extreme. The idea of what's acceptably extreme for games has changed over time (which lead us to angst and guns), but I've been trying to stay open to it. I also agree that the game mechanics sound creative and maybe fun, so I'll give the game a chance. The fact that there's no storyline is certainly a huge plus and the new characters don't bother me because there're 3 of them, which seems to indicate that they're all space fillers and will never be used again. As for Series Over, I'm waiting for the next gen title on Friday. That'll be what decides it for me.Professor Machenstein wrote:I cannot wait until Frieza2000 sees this.

I was under the impression that the list of characters is far from the full roster.Frieza2000 wrote:I would've called this a hoax for 2 reasons had it not been on IGN; firstly because Sonic Team actually used the word eXtreme, but especially because it not only introduces 3 new characters but only includes 4 old ones.

As for my opinion, it sounds mildly interesting. I want to see some screenshots.

I'll save my full judgment until I seen screens and footage, but so far I agree with Crazy Penguin and G.Silver.
I don't have much hate towards the names. Jet and Storm, while not the most creative titles, are okay as long as designs are well done. Since this this game is being labeled as "eXtreme", I'm hoping Uekawa(provided we aren't just stuck with CG renders) makes the promo art stretchy with Sonic's wild grin more prominantly shown; A smirk just seems too tame anymore IMO.
However, Web the Sparrow confuses the hell out of me.
Who knows, maybe we'll see Speedy da Radhog come time for the sequel!Jet, Web, Storm...I know at least 3 Storm the *insert animal name* in some communities...

Frankly, I want all three of them to be bad guys. The Sonic series really needs some balance on the villain side of things. I'm not getting my hopes up though.I hope at least one of those characters is a bad guy...
Damn straight.We need Fang and his Marvelous Queen airbike!
