http://www.sonicstadium.org/sonicnews/440 - Comment from 'Dennis' from a German gaming magazine. It's implied that the game will be a multi-platform release.

wow.


It doesn't look shitty. It actually looks like a return to form.

The art is pretty damn good. I like the enemy and level design.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Holy shit, this looks nice :O?!

after the critically and commercially horrible sonic 360/PS3
and even after the commercial success of sonic and mario as well as sonic and the secret rings..

Sega just will not learn...

I swear Sonic zealots use 'return to form' to describe every single sonic game.

Robotnik went back to his retro design and not his crappy realistic design?

... There might be some hope yet.

Given SEGA's completely random use of bullshottery in their game reveals, I can't tell what system this is supposed to be for.

Way too nice to be Wii.

Yes, it's not a Wii game!!!!

Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing this turn out to be a PS3 game using the SIXAXIS like Secret Rings or something (with some improvements made). :p Hopefully they understand what was wrong with the last few games this time around.

This looks pretty clean and free of crap, though.

Clearly not the Wii. Even with a lower image quality, it's pretty clear that the textures, models, effects, etc. are out of Wii's league. Furthermore, the HUD is very small indicating that these shots were downsized from 720p.

uh

the worst sonic game in ages was on the next gen consoles

the Wii one actually was quite enjoyable

He's a pretty swell guy in my books anyway.
:O

If I knew there was a chance this would be good I'd say day 1. Well at least Sonic fans will have a good looking game to play.

Proudly debt free. If you need a couple bucks, just ask.
I hope this is like Sonic Adventure. Looks good so far.

The 'H' stands for hentai.
The screens look great.

On the other hand, so did the first screenshots of that aberration released on the PS3/X360

I know. I loved the Wii game, but I would love it more with high quality visuals and 60 fps. That's why I'm saying I wouldn't mind if this played like Secret Rings (which would work perfectly on PS3).

Those first shots, however, did not show any sort of HUD or give any indication of what the level design would be like. It was simply an engine test. This looks like an actual game.
 
Oh yes I forgot to say my odds are on 360/PS3. Whilst there's possibly cutscene bullshots like they pulled for NiGHTS, the HUD is a dead giveaway for something aimed at HD resolutions.

Yikes

I like the fact that Robotnik screws Sonic over. Usually when Sonic goes SS Eggman runs off and hides somewhere until he kills all of the "real" bad guys.

it was enjoyable if you like getting punched in the face.

they both sucked, the Wii one just sucked slightly less. Last two DS Sonic games were the only enjoyable Sonic titles for the last decade.

Sonic BioWARE RPG too might break the trend.

What are the odds that in a multi platform release Sega would do a good enough job with Six Axis to make it work?
