More like Sonic Heroes 2.
Version 3.0

I'm not a Sonic fan, not since Genesis, anyway. I can't see any difference in his character model, would need a side-by-side. Knuckles got blown up like a balloon, but Sonic looks exactly the same to me as he has for 15 years. Awful, but the same awful.

I don't get how it happened, but SEGA managed to fuck up Sonic even more than they already have.
Funny how modern Sonic is "real" Sonic now.
All that childhood royalties cocaine has fucked up his nose.

Good god. This pretty much describes how I feel about Sega these days: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOkr99Ow4fo
Calling this game Sonic Heroes 2 is a disgrace to the original Sonic Heroes.

Big Red Button and Sanzaru, WAT!
BRB are former Naughty Dog folks!
That would explain the Jak and Daxter look to the characters, specially Tails.
The game doesn't look as bad as I feared. Adventurish, co-op, and (even if it's difficult to see) good graphics on Wii U.
But the characters...oh God, I thought Sonic was fine, but the legs. Oh my God, the legs. Knuckles is even more strange. Didn't see enough of Amy. Tails seems to be the least offensive. For now.

I thought Generations style of mixing up the levels/giving challenge levels was smart. Or they could step down the graphics/go with a simpler art style and make more levels. I don't know.

This game has a lot of talent behind it, and graphically it looks great, color me cautiously optimistic.

Because there are a few things to be gleamed from the trailer, and they are all elements that the sonic series has stumbled with in the past.
Large open areas? Sonic is a momentum based character. He requires linearity.
Multiple characters? Less design focus on making a platformer that succeeds greatly at one thing, instead compromising to do multiple gameplay styles steeped in mediocrity.

I hope so. The last one was just okay.
Never forget...
Best Sonic design / opening theme ever
Wouldn't a better measure be Sonic: Lost World and Olympics 2K14, which seem to have bombed?

Very visceral.
Will buy.

Well Sonic Lost World had a rather positive initial reception, so yeah that's how it's gonna work out
Probably not, but I can hope

I admit, I got excited with the the intro song.. but then...
Okay. Alright.
The new designs haven't translated brilliantly from what the trailer shows, hopefully they can fix that during development.
I like all the new locales you see, nice bit of variety.
Four playable characters is nice, and they can all run fast. Good, having their abilities to support the speedy side rather than detract from it is the key here.
Former Naughty Dog developers are nice. Hopefully they weren't the worst of a very good bunch,
Cautiously optimistic. Very cautiously optimistic.

ah so that's why they're former naughty dog employees
I don't have a clue who Big Red Button is, but I thought the trailer looked surprisingly cool. Seems they are trying to go the Adventure route once again... Depending on the quality of the studio, they might actually do a better job than Sonic Team. Or not. Who knows, really.
But then again, I'm the only person on this Earth who enjoyed Sonic Heroes back in the day.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
I wouldn't be surprised if Sega introduced the Skylanders model with this game as it seems to borrow certain aspects of the game.
Looks like a still from Robot Chicken. Or Pingu.
