[Tidbit]

O_O Really? calm down.

The sarcasm just made a whistliing noise as it flew over Tidbit's head.

SEGA should just do a Sonic 3 ROM hack and be done with it.

If they do that and SEGA decides to release it on a Nintendo console, they won't let them :X.

After what SEGA did to Sonic the Hedgehog on the Gameboy, I don't want them anywhere near the old Sonic titles.

 

[Tidbit]

why? i Sonic advance wasn't all too bad. and besides i think they might actually have some good people on the team.

 

[glaber]

Not Sonic Advance, Sonic Genesis.

... And the point of this was...?

[TimberWolf]

... When I first checked the topic, his post was blank.

What the carp...

 

[Bigboi]

Well, either way, it didn't really add to the conversation.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to this game, but at the same time, I'm going to have to wait for some reviews to be published after it's release before I think about getting it.

Regarding this: I should probably point out that Sega lost the original source code to, among things, Sonic 1, which pretty much required them to remake the whole game from scratch. Which is, y'know, really difficult when you don't have the actual code for the Genny games.

Yeah I know it's not the best excuse, but it should help put a little perspective on things. Given that they're building a completely new game instead of trying to piece together the broken pieces of an old one, I'd say there's less to worry about.

If they DO add another character, like Tails for example, then I hope his AI can actually FOLLOW you. How come they couldn't recreate that in Advance 1 and 3? They actually got it down in Sonic 2, when they were still new at making games.

They also haven't mentioned if it's an actual game, or an arcade game. They mentioned it will be in HD, so that sort of feels Arcade-ish.

 

[Wombatwarlord777]

Heck, for all we know this might be downloadable.

 

[tcox]

Well, I think that this new game will be a remake of Sonic 1 or a game when Sonic is still 10/11 years old. (see original JP manuals) However, my two cents about the current games (Sonic Heroes-Sonic Unleashed) were all good expect for Sonic 2006 and the werehog stages.

 

[Bobinator]

Hmm... I'm not sure if I should be celebrating yet. This IS a step in the right direction, though. Honestly, at this point, I'd be happy with Unleashed without the werehog, because compared to '06 and Shadow, it was pretty much S3&K.

Although, no more QTEs. Please.

I wouldn't mind that, and it's better for sega this way. Less money spending.

But completely screws over those of us that CAN'T get DLC.

 

[Miyosaki]

Timber wolf is right, For people like me who can't get DLC we will be left out of the fun.
