Watching this after the latest Dark Souls trailer makes the Sonic bosses seem...a little too cute? Actually every game seems kind of cute after 20 hrs of Dark Souls...

Does anyone else but me find it weird that SEGA just cant make a good Sonic game post Dreamcast era. Like Sonic never had it's "Mario Galaxy" moment, it's like every game is like you have to explain why it's good, but it never seems that great.

Like people defend Sonic Unleashed, but they always have to say, if dig underneath the crap, there is a good game. I dunno just a random thought that came to me.

There are many that would argue that Sonic hasn't been any good since the Genesis era. I'm one of those people.

The bosses look quite neat actually. I'm still hopefully this could be the Sonic game which changes the god-awful reputation they have made for themselves.

Yup, I am riding that hype train hard... again Cho...choooo! :\ Seriously, I know all the past games suck for the most part, sonic rushes were alright, Sonic colors were pretty alright, but for the most part, they have sucked... and I am still excited? Why? I know I am just leading myself down a road of self-denial until the game is out and reviews start coming in... :(

A shame that this will be the SECOND best 20th anniversary game out this year.

I liked sonic when it was a 2d platformer and not dumb shit for furries and man children.

Believe it or not, I used to love boss battles in Sonic games (well, in most 8 or 16-bits sidescrolling games actually)

Then Sonic went 3D. But instead of joining the "Sonic sucks/I hate Sonic!11!1lolz"-bandwagon I still continued liking the games (errr.. not Sonic 2006 though...). But I found myself really hating all the boss battles in the modern games. Poorly presented or too cheap. Super easy or badly done. (seriously though ALL final boss fights in all 3D Sonic games have been awful, Perfect Chaos, Final Biolizard, and the ones from the multiconsole Sonic games I never cared about learning their names..)

Hope Sonic team really polishes this aspect of the game this time around. Though the hint at a final monster at the end of the trailer does worry me...

Wow, does Sega not even know anymore what made Sonic great?

Slap on a '20th Annivesary' and all is okay? Why don't you just do an actual throw back? Oh thats right, that was the Sonic Episodes, how are they doing? Jesus Sega, you really lost the ball.

You are aware 50%+ of this game is 2D, with levels from the Genesis games, right?

Also, Sonic 4 played like shit. Good riddance, I say.
