Looks like a good game!
Looks like it's coming out on Xbox too! Goody! :dance:
Seen the trailer on eurogamer just before coming here to see if it was posted and i was beat lol. Anyway I can't wait for this game, and im glad to see the old sonic look back but in a trailer. Also judging from the trailer we can assume itll be out by the end of the year due to the snowy styled green hill zone
What kind of game is it? A racing game?
No other information on the game is out yet. However i think it was be somewhat similar to Sonic Colors and Sonic Unleashed.
HOLY CRAP IT'S ORIGINAL SONIC
Not sure how any of you can say it "looks good" when there is nothing in that trailer to imply that :P I heard it was going to be a modern take on one of the old Sonic games. Old Sonic in 3D looks crap to be honest :P He only ever looked good in 2D.
Hopefully it will be a decent game. Sonic Colours was frustrating as the gameplay was so slow in my opinion. Sonic never used to jump slowly and with no control. In Sonic Colours you had to take ages planning each jump because he tooks flaming ages getting off the ground. The running was fine, but the jumping and lack of control was infuriating :P
Shall be buying. Don't think its meant to be a snowy Green Hill Zone. And because of the movies shown in the teaser im 100% it will use the Hedgehog Engine which shall be fun playing older levels on.
Will be a while before we hear any info knowing sega.
Earlier this months Sega had leaked a trailer for an upcoming Sonic game which featured modern sonic rushing through an area that looked like Green Hill Zone then meeting his 1991 counterpart sometime near the end of the trailer. For those that havent seen it here it is:

Now today I have been looking through a website and stumbled across gameplay screenshots and news on the game via this site by clicking here
The plot behind Sonic Generations has not been fully mentioned however it states that and I quote:
"Sonic’s universe is thrown into chaos when a mysterious new power creates ‘time holes’ which pull him and his friends back through time. As a result, he encounters some surprises from his past history including Classic Sonic, Sonic as he was in 1991.”
Now some of you are thinking, Can you play as 1991 Sonic? Well the answer is YES!!! You will be able to play as Classic Sonic or Modern time sonic, each having their own special moves. Classic sonic having Spin dash and spin attack while Modern sonic has Homing attack and Sonic Boost (I assume the boost is similar to Sonic Unleashed's boost). Best still, the game can be played in either 2D or 3D. Heres the link of screenshots
EDIT: Removed links and replaced with a hotlink on a word to get to them, due to the word in the link being filtered
Thread merged by sct (Forum Super Moderator) With thread on same topic as there is a lot of discussion in both threads!
I remember enjoying sonic games and then they all wen't downhill hopefully this will bring the bar up again.
Need to replace the links.
Anyway I love Sonic, well the old Sonic so I may have to pick this up!
Used to play Sonic 3 for hours on end over and over!
I am considering getting the game, but its not at my top priority unless I find out more about it and see some video gameplay.
EDIT:http://www.joystiq.com/screenshots/s...ns/4061069/#/0 For screenshots aswell as the site mentioned in the top post by clicking the word "here"
The hotlink wont work either because the word is still filterd so when it goes into the address bar its still http://ga*****verything.com/?p=3471.
Did anyone else have Sonic & Knuckles? I never fully understood it lol.
Ah, Ive changed it now.
Is that the one where you collect those eggs and it hatches those things that can be either evil or good?Quote:

Ive played all of the old sonic games, most of which by running an emulator
I love the Sonic games, and hopefully this one will be good!
I have some new info to mention including GAMEPLAY footage.
Ok so as I said before where my speculation of the Sonic boost for modern Sonic was abit like Sonic Unleashed, well... it is :). Heres gameplay footage of the game itself now.

Sonic is back with a flash (if sega ever make money with this you are witnesses that they owe me) hope the game does well but I think that Mario and Luigi were always better.
I should like to add aswell that 1991 sonic's gameplay is more based on 2D platforming and that Modern Sonic focuses more on the speed like style of Sonic Colors and Sonic Unleashed.
Thats a good point as I used to have Sonic on GameBoy Advance (looool) and it was a ppor quality 2D Colour game and it wasn't really much of a sotry btu going as fast as you can and collecting rings.
Classic sonic > modern sonicQuote:

I don't care if the classic Sonic games were repetative and didn't have a story. You knew what was happening and what you had to do from the start. Thats what made them games so great for me.
Guy's i have just read from the wikipedia and it says that Classic Sonic will NOT have a speaking role in the upcoming game
Sorry for the double post but its WAY past the edit time, its adding more info including FULL LEVEL GAMEPLAY of the 2D level seen in the previous trailer. The music in the background which plays with the level is none other than the theme from green hill zone from sonic 1! How sweet is that!!

Upon watching the video some more, the ending of the 2D levels end like the old games where sonic runs past a sign which flips to sonics image. Later in the video it shows the Modern sonic gameplay aswell.
Credits to Kotaku on the video (its where I found it)
^ That all looks good :P I had to stop myself from scratching at the monitor. Hopefully Sonic can jump properly in this game, in Sonic Colors he seemed a bit too "weighted", so he didn't jump high and when he did he flew straight back down rather than fell to the ground smoothly like in previous Sonic games (including Classic 2D Sonic Games). That said, it does look good :P
Just been rewatching the Modern sonic gameplay of the video trying to listen to the background music, and it seems to be a slightly remixed version of the theme used in the 2D gameplay
He looks too small for the levels. :(
I suppose when the game does get released he would look abit bigger? It should do.Quote:
