Original Story 
 
All tease and no please, for now, but the fact it's 2D based is promising. I wonder if Sonic is even the main character : /, this teaser leads me to believe he might not be..I thinkt his might be spiny son!, of course I could be wrong...
 
 

They should keep away from all of the crap they've made, and go really retro, get the old music, don't remake it, just make it sound better and then throw that in, that's my dream sonic, I love the retro sonic music, and if they went to that style I'd be sold. Wonder if it's release game or just download.

Why don't you think it's Sonic? What part of this teaser did not resemble Sonic? Save for the fact that they showed a silhouette instead of the games logo.

  Same here, I want a no nonsense 2D Sonic game in HD, but I do also want something new in terms of level design and gameplay concepts, but they need to be able to work well in a fast platforming game. Anything that kills speed too much is not wanted.  I basically want Sega to approach the game in the same way Capcom did Mega Man 9. I hope it's a download game myself. "

Agreed, I literally was talking about this 2 days ago, that they should just make a 2D sonic, short game, sell it for fairly cheap with new ideas for gameplay, and see how it's received then go from there. The marketplaces are the only way I can see sonic getting a second life now. "

" @Linkyshinks: it always seems to be the later levels in the earlier sonic games that kill speed and I always hated that, that and stupid underwater levels, I think underwater levels in most games should be banned.  sonic+stompythings+fire jets+crushing platforms=no fun "

Hope its good, @marioncobretti: Unleashed wasnt that bad so dont worry, the sonic stages had some good ideas. This and the kart game seem to be finaly something good with sonic in it. Now if only they made a good fighter as well, imagine: Sega Vs Capcom.

Plus Sega have a racer on the way, which looks pretty good, better than Mario Kart Wii anyway.

Thank Christ. A real SONIC game. (I hope I hope I hope I hope, please don't bungle this, Sega.)

That video is already down I guess?

Here's to hoping it's awesome. They're certainly going in the right direction, and finally got the fucking message. I want the Sega Seal of Quality back.

" @vidiot: Shhhhhhhhhh, quiet you!  Don't try to tear me from my happy place!!  It looks like they MIGHT actually realize what needs to be done to Sonic, bring it back to its roots, drop swords, guns, werehogs, extra characters that no one cares about, etc.  EDIT: Oh, and Linkyshinks when they said "In Project Needlemouse, there will be no new characters – playable or otherwise" they might have meant supporting characters, I kind of find it hard to believe there won't be a single new enemy type or boss. But it's possible they meant no new enemies at all and they're sticking to classic enemies pulled from the previous games in the series. I wonder. "
