OK?

Cool?

Ehh I'm still skeptical...

Sonic Unleashed day stages were magnificent.  This sounds promising.

Sonic colors looks pretty nice and i'm glad they are taking some time on sonic 4.

Garbage. Sega needs to stop trying.

And they're both going to be absolutely terrible.

SONIC HYPE.

Sonic just needs to go so fast that he goes back in time to when his franchise really was popular.

I believe the Wii is also getting Sonic 4

Sega is too attached to Sonic and the money he still brings in. They really should've put the character on break for a few years and brought him back with Sonic 4. Colors might work, but there's bound to be a gimmick that messes up the gameplay.

this can't be as lame as more recent sonic games have been... right?

4 doesn't need homing attacks. It needs bumpers and springs to be separate things. It doesn't need screen turning Sonic 1 bonus levels.

If Sonic Colors is just Sonic Unleashed: Releashed, then it will be great because the daytime missions were pretty fun, and had some replayability and differing paths.

i feel like i have moved on. i will be getting sonic 4 but i am more excited about colours.  I have loved the handheld versions of sonic games and if these two games follow there foot steps i will be happy.

Jeff, you're talking a load of crap. The only games where that 'hold right' criticism was true was Sonic Advance 2, and the two Sonic Rush games.

New Super Mario Bros. is more than a Super Mario Bros. with HD graphics, that's why it works. Sega and/or Sonic team do not seem to comprehend that you need to add something to the decade-old game to make it enjoyable.

Jeff, that hold right thing is just wrong,
 
play anything past the first level of the classic sonic games and you will notice it takes some solid platforming to get through the levels.
 
The only time hold right worked is in the first levels, because they were just showpieces for sonic's speed.

meh. need to see first.

Will have to wait and see how it actually plays to give more judgement. But the homing attacks thing doesn't really bother me.

Before anyone is allowed to make a Sonic game they should be imprisoned in a room full of pinball machines for a week, then instructed to beat all their best scores while wearing glasses that reduce their field of vision to a two-inch-square box.

No thank you

The Sonic cycle is in full effect first comes skeptic hope, then comes the claims that Sonic has returned to glory, and finally crushing disappointment. Other then the 360 version of Bayonetta has Sega released a great game ?

It's good to hear someone actually say what I'm thinking, and I believe others are thinking, about Sonic 4. There are no doubt that the 2-d Sonics are classics, but I've just never felt that much depth in the gameplay department with them. I always feel like I just end up running as fast as I can to the right until I get to the end. I've never beaten a single 2-d Sonic because usually by the time I get a game over, I'm just tired of it. It's always felt a little senseless to me, and Sonic 4 will be no different, just a nostalgia rush. I just am already tired of the originals, so there's nothing there for Sega to trick me into buying it.

Footage of Sonic Colors looks good.
 
Bring out the Sonic Cycle

This is gonna suck because they didnt stick to what mattered, making the gameplay better.  Making it 2d makes it simpler for the speed aspect.  But come on.  3 episode arc?  What did Mario and Sonic do differently?  You can barely tell there is a story in the Mario games.  The Sonic games have tried to be some kind of epic opera.  Fuck Shadow and all characters that are not blue.
