There and back again~
I'm gonna have to save some of the reactions from Sonic fans. Digiku is right, the factor that makes the Sonic cycle inevitable isn't the sonic games, its the Sonic fans themselves!
I'm not talking about "well I only really care for about 50% of Sonic Unleashed so I won't spend money on it", I mean "Eeeeeek Werehog, you've betrayed us, curse you seeeegaaaaa!" and comments of that sort.
I'm excited, if only to see what happens when Sonic Team tries to revisit Sonic 1 and 2. Even if the game doesn't turn out worthy of the money, it'll be nice to finally have an answer to the big what-if.
Also, its for the Wii too... surely I wasn't the only one who found those rumors without any logical basis and a clear attempt at trolling Wii owners.

By naming it Sonic 4, they have a lot to live up to.
I guess hoping for classic Sonic design was a bit of a stretch, but at any rate, I'm not really seeing anything I don't like yet. This "Episode 1" stuff is making me a bit uncomfortable, though.... Specifically, how much content will be offered per episode? If it's basically the same as Sonic 3, then I guess I don't really have much to worry about.
Yes, iPhone is herp derp, that level's a Green Hill ripoff, I'm a Sonic fan therefore I must criticize everything about a trailer or bit of information that I can take the wrong way, who really gives a flying ****.

I know, it sucks. -_-
Edit: I still don't get why it was removed, they had all the facts and everything. It even was true.

Greg, do you have any emotions toward stuff other than "I ******* LOVE THIS" and "I ******* HATE THIS?"
Anyway, seems alright. Definitely not what I hoped for (or what SEGA led us on to believe) but as long as it gets that Sonic Rush stink off of it, it'll probably be good. They have WAY too much riding on this one to be bad.
Either way, I'll probably download it on my iPod to see if I want to buy it.

Doing so would be a completely retarded move on their part. Despite the system(s) it will be on I wouldn't really care since I know I won't be missing anything regardless of what is included. In any case I only hope it's worth purchasing and as I previously said in this topic a few months back... "good enough to drain some hours of my life"
Even though this is slightly off the topic...Jev3's example said:
Honestly there isn't anything bad with Werehog other than the fact that in a more older audiences point of view (me for example...), the Werehog is just a Showboat for the children so they can go out and purchase the game, and the fact that it was just too damn similar to twilight princess (In terms of the protagonist morphing into a beast depending on area or time) that the character got trolled on to death. But you have to agree, it wasn't any effort of originality, though that doesn't mean it wasn't a good classic marketing technique either so yea...

He seems to agree with Aknothholeresident.
I've seen the true side of classic fans. The most ********* people in the world. "OMG HIS EYES ARE GREEN"
I expected better from these fans. 5 seconds of gameplay and people are already saying it is terrible. SERIOUSLY?

"...What?"
If you think green eyes are bad, I dare you to color Sonic's arms blue. We shall rain down upon you all our bitter, nerdish wrath.
But seriously, I'm a fan of the way gameplay was structured in Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 and Knuckles and, to a lesser extent, Sonic CD: A great balance between speed, gimmicks, and straight-up platforming, with individual zones often emphasizing one of the three, and everything supported with excellent physics and handling. That's why I'm glad this game appears to much slower than recent 2D titles. It's indicative that the balanced gameplay I love may finally return.
I know I've critiqued Sonic's design, and slammed the level shown in the second trailer for being visually uninspired. But really, good aesthetics are just the icing on the cake. What really matters is good gameplay, and I'm glad Sonic Team seems to be contemplating that aspect more seriously this time.

" Should I explain the sonic cycle chart? " *Fairly odd parents reference: Sonic style*
This shouldn't be a big surprise. You know how the fans are when it comes to appearance of content before release... (though in terms of this generation of sonic games...debatable).
