I would consider purchasing that game if they sold just an old Sonic version at half price.

Actually, who am I kidding. Sonic has been long dead to me. Not only have the games been terrible for years, the fan base has been consumed by furries and people with Asperger's syndrome.

too bad 1.5 of those eras aren't worth a damn. first era and about half of the second (the adventure games[i'm biased]) but from heros on is just utter shit. anyone who says otherwise is a fucking furry crazy or like... 12.

Unleashed was decent, but Sonic Colors was actually really fun to play. But whatever~

On a loosely related note, are they still pretending that Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is getting more episodes? Episode 1 came out a full year ago. Seriously, it doesn't take a year to make 4 zones.

The GiantBomb community needs to wise the fuck up. This is the best Sonic game potentially ever, and certainly since the 3D era, whether you like Modern Sonic or not. Watch the trailers, watch the leaked footage, watch the gameplay demos and you'll see you are not being bullshitted and nothing is being hidden from you. This is being refined to the extreme. Prepare to be very, very surprised.

Stop being comfortable in your preconceived ideas about how Sonic is or was. You're wrong, and this game will prove it.

I hated Sonic 4 and wasn't big into Sonic Colors. So I guess I'm just over this series.

The remixes of old themes are great though.

As someone who has played through Sonic Adventure way more times than I would care to admit, I have to say: yes, I believe that is Perfect Chaos.

Literally like three hours ago. If you really want to throw down over something as trivial as this, we can. It should also be known that it is also kind of my job to review games like this, but that I am legitimately interested in Sonic Generations and seriously think it will be an enjoyable game, based on the assumption that I thought Sonic Unleashed on the 360 was pretty good and Sonic Colors on the Wii was actually, no fooling, a genuinely fun game, with no "But..." attached to that.

So, I'm serious. Give me your best shot.

I gotta agree.  I just replayed the four Genesis games this week, and sure, they're classics and nothing's come close in quite a while.
 
However, not all the later games have sucked ass, and I don't get why people make it seem that way.  The 3DS had some friggin' excellent stuff happening in the Rush series, and Colors was a pretty cool spin on the older formula (no pun intended).
 
Looking forward to this, as everything I've seen and everything people have said make it seem like a well made game.  But haters gonna hate.

I love that they throw in those first titles, as if to say something positive about the quality of the franchise.

So disregard the demo then? This isn't a rhetorical question, or...well it is, but I would still like an answer.

@RockmanBionics: Definitely. The demo is hugely outdated, and was released with plenty of time left in the development cycle. Green Hill Zone (along with the other stages) has been refined, and Sonic's physics - such as his jump height, which is slightly less heavy - are now more 1:1 with the Genesis games. Previews have confirmed this, players at expos have confirmed this.

As I said in the previous post, watch the gameplay footage/trailer/leaked footage (which I won't point you to). I know you're probably not hyped enough for this game, though.

@itsjoncharles: Well that's at least good then, what I remember the most from that demo was the framerate and jumping being terrible. Now, I played all of Colours and thought the jump in that game was awful, among some other control and design related things, but overall it had sound ideas and was occasionally, really fun.

This game wasn't on my radar, and it still really isn't, but I'll give it a Quicklook to convince me once it comes out.

Man, I wanna believe but I've been stung by so many Sonic games in the past I just can't get excited for this even though graphically it looks fanfuckingtastic.
