My prayers have been answered.

This sounds like the Sonic game I have been longing for. If it comes to beautiful fruition, I will give SEGA every cent I own. I'd gladly be able to spoil the guts of the game here but the link has all the information you'd need. I'll let you smile ear-to-ear while you read it.

Hopefully I'm not getting too excited. Once it's announced, I'll be all-in. For now, let's hope it doesn't get cancelled. DX

I'd want to know how they plan on incorporating levels where every character could pass the levels evenly among the other characters. I'm sure where Sonic and Shadow could boost and destroy the level, then Amy comes walking by in the slowest of motions, they're going to have to seriously plan out these level designs to get this working properly.

Also, what if one of the characters is an old favorite like Mighty? I think the only reason they don't use him is because of the mixing of Sonic universes? I have no idea...

Honestly I wanna get hyped for this, it sounds so cool and perfect and all that but then again that's what mostly happens with Sonic games nowadays - they get over-romanticized and then end up being pretty shitty. I don't feel like getting my hopes up for this.
Weeeeelllllll... Colours lived up to all of my expectations. It was everything that I hoped it would be. xD

But yes, that is a good point. Ultimately, it may be wiser to be a bit skeptical. Unleashed certainly didn't live up to my hopes, in terms of plot. It... Kind of killed all of my hopes for plot ever being good in a Sonic game again, haha. So, I guess my hopes were marred, and then Colours lived up to what remaining hopes I had, in particular in the gameplay and music aspects.
Colours was good, yes - but there where so many 2D sections that the platforming wasn't really much fun after awhile and I really wanted to see more 3D sections like Unleashed. But then you have Unleashed and Generations which are both lacking in the story department. I mean I'm not saying every Sonic game nowadays is bad, but there's always something to criticize about, you know?

Unleashed and Generations were lacking in the story department but I think that it's only because they were slowly getting back into having the story focused on only Sonic. So it would take some time for them to get an extensive and enthralling story after being used to writing a story that incorporates friggin EVERYBODY he's ever met. But this is just my theory.

And didn't Mighty used to be in one of the old old old games? So it wouldn't really be a crossing of universes rather than just a blast from the past. Or am I wrong? Hm...

True enough. But even then, Colours contains pretty much the best 2D Sonic I've ever experienced. xD Sonic Advance is probably the only 2D game that I prefer to the 2D parts of Colours. Still... I found some of the 2D sections on Planet Wisp pretty annoying, so I see your point.

Sounds like a good old fashion formula, but hey, I'm not complaining. If it ain't broke don't fix it, and Colors and Generations were both far from broken. Looking forward to a new release.

They're just playing it safe, it sounds like. I really hope they make some new changes to the gameplay. Either way, this could be fun. I don't want this to be a short game with a very shallow story like Generations, but I don't want it to be idiotically dramatic like '06 either. Just give me the line between SA1 and SA2 and I'll be happy. (:
Currently voicing Chris for SegaBridged's upcoming Sonic X Abridged series. Super stoked. Lots of talent in this group.

These are my thoughts exactly! :idea:

This game sounds like it could be really fun. I doubt that we'll actually get ten characters, that sounds like too much, but as long as it is a good number, I'll be pretty happy. I really really want to play as my favorite red echidna. :cool:

I also want the game to be of a good length this time. I miss the times when Sega made Sonic games that would take me a good amount of time to finish. I basically played through all of Generations in 8 hours. Colors even took me longer! :| The Adventure titles and Unleashed may have had their flaws, but at least it felt like a satisfying experience by the time I finished through the main story.

All story modes are lacking, nowadays. Even longer games like Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2.

It was still cool seeing past and future Sonic working together.

I do wonder how they plan on doing the storyline this time around. More importantly, how they plan on doing the level design without the levels being repetitive. Repetitive within itself and past games.

That There Sonic Stadium Article
 
The source elaborates that the console version of this new game will be sticking with the recent formula seen in Sonic Unleashed (Daytime), Sonic Colours and Sonic Generations where gameplay switches between full 3D movement and 2D side-scrolling sections.


I certainly hope this is meant literally; that is, I hope that it's simply the "formula" and not the same damn engine again! That's when I'll finally be truly disappointed, and that's coming from the guy who has been quite content ever since Unleashed was released. It's worked well so far, but it's definitely run its course.

With that said, if this rumor happens to be an actually true pre-announcement rumor, then I'm absolutely stoked!
I'm most excited for what I assume to be a return of the extended cast, as those characters' portrayals in recent games have been fantastic even though they haven't been playable.
I'm hoping there will be room for Silver as well as Blaze, and I'm praying to every deity from every religion that Sonic Team realizes that no one likes Charmy and his sorry ass should be kicked out of the Chaotix. Seriously, I hope they have the nuts to put both Vector and Espio in without that generic little bastard.
But calming down now,
I really like everything presented here! It sounds like a promising and ambitious project... And of course, flaws are inevitable, and us game-hypers should keep that in mind.
But the main thing about this game is...

Let's just hope it's real.

This news just in.

Sonic Team have just announced that they will be a part of a live stream event on the popular Japense TV show "Puyo-Puyo" on February 2nd, this Saturday. "Hedgehog Day" as dubbed by fans is a popular day for SEGA to make annoucements about future Sonic games so a new addition to the long running franchise is a high possibility.

I'm pretty sure it will happen... At least I hope it will.

But seeing as I don't speak Japanese, I'll just be sure to cheer when the audience does. ;_;
