Support NeoGAF

[Seven Force]

It's nice but...I'll be honest I do want a true advancement of the series. I guess that might come later, or is this it?

Day 1 though.

Considering they put Taxman on this (and rightfully so) Sonic Team's game is probably going to be the 3D game and the other big announcement.

 

[jman2050]

Stealth and Taxman actually did it.

 

[Sylverstone14]

Taxman is making this?!

 

[Uzumaki Goku]

Is this a digital only game?

 

[Sandfox]

This is actually a really smart idea on Sega's part.

Eh, I'm not a fan of the retro graphics. I'm not sure if I trust them to have level design on par with the classics.

Which why they brought in Whitehead and Headcannon.

 

[Huge Succeeded]

Dude I can't even believe this. So dope.

It's actually Sonic 4.

 

[Escalario]

Also Sega leaving out again their biggest Sonic fanbase lol. But hey, if they want less sales, their loss.

 

[Mediking]

It's not even coming to any Nintendo platforms..... like...uhhhhhh....

 

[grandjedi6]

Ok, I'm sold. Giving sonic the MegaMan 9 treatment. Good job, Sega.

The problem is they already wasted that card with Sonic 4.

 

[KingBroly]

Well yeah, because NX hasn't been revealed yet.

Didn't stop Ubisoft

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Excellent...excellent.

 

[celsowmbr]

Blast Processing inside!

 

[clav]

Day one.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

They could just put the Nintendo logo on it. NX is a thing, the name isn't sure, but Ubisoft already announced Just Dance for it, ffs.

Do you honestly think this won't come to NX

Come on.

 

[TheCongressman1]

I am officially hyped. The fact that Whitehead is on the project give me ultimate confidence. Looks super slick. Animations are beautiful. I can't believe how good it looks.

Awful that they can't just name it Sonic 4, or 5 even.

 

[Sami+]

holy moly it looks so good

 

[Neoxon]

Considering they put Taxman on this (and rightfully so) Sonic Team's game is probably going to be the 3D game and the other big announcement.

This would make sense, but one of the main guys at Sonic Team is on stage talking about Sonic Mania, so I'm kinda worried that this may be it.

 

[Already Torn]

This doesn't look very interesting. I guess we'll never see another great Sonic game. Is this the only announcement for today? Or is it like a budget bonus game?

 

[a Master Ninja]

Wait a second...that looked good?!

 

[Kinsei]

This is actually a really smart idea on Sega's part.



Which why they brought in Whitehead and Headcannon.

I'm unfamiliar with Headcannon and I was under the impression that Whitehead had only worked on remakes.

 

[Spaghetti]

Game is playable tonight at the anniversary event. Impressions incoming then, I guess?

 

[WillyFive]

It's not even coming to any Nintendo platforms..... like...uhhhhhh....

At least not to any that have logos yet.

 

[KingBroly]

Do you honestly think this won't come to NX

Come on.

Hey, if Square and Ubisoft can give a wink and a nudge to NX, Sega should be able to as well.

Not to mention Koei already said 'yup, we're supporting it.'

 

[CronoShot]

Looks ace but WHY NO NINTENDO SYSTEMS!?? So pissed off right now for that :'(

If it's spring 2017 we might see an NX version.

 

[grandjedi6]

Didn't stop Ubisoft

Well it didn't stop then from announcing Watch Dogs before the PS4/Xbox One either so I think Ubisoft just doesn't give a fuck.

 

[Escalario]

Do you honestly think this won't come to NX

Come on.

Sega loves to leave out their biggest Sonic fanbase from the Sonic games that had actual effort, so I say yes. But hey, it's Sega's loss in sales.

 

[jediyoshi]

This doesn't look very interesting. I guess we'll never see another great Sonic game.

Does your great Sonic game list consist exclusively of 3D games?

 

[WonderRade]

kind of underwhelmed here, like this doesnt really seem on a generations kind of level/scale. Like its definitely cool but not something i'll be rushing out to get.

 

[Delio]

There's no way that isn't coming to NX in some form.

I mean I wouldn't put it past them to skip Nintendo.

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

That sure is a sonic game.

 

[Already Torn]

Does your great Sonic game list consist exclusively of 3D games?

Of course dude. Advance was alright.

 

[Blablurn]

looks great

IT'S SO AMAZING

Keep in mind this hasn't been the case for half a decade.

 

[Diablohead]

This is all I wanted. A 2D game with mechanics similar to the first games.

this.

I mean, I guess it could skip NX, but I'd be completely shocked.

Doesn't really affect me, as I'll just buy it on PS4.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Sucks for Nintendo if it dont get announce later . Will buy on X1 then

 

[Twin Tails]

 

[GhostTrick]

Hey, let's be fair to the others. Wii U and 3DS gets Sonic Boom and the others get Sonic Mania. Sounds like a fair deal ; p

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

This looks like the true Sonic 4.

 

[pretty done]

SEGA, Christian Whitehead, Headcannon, and PagodaWest Games

yikes, this is gonna be another Sanic Last World

 

[Gleethor]

If this doesn't come to NX, Nintendo and Sega are both idiots

 

[Opa-Pa]

Man, the game looks gorgeous, and having Taxman leading the project gives me a lot of hope. Really happy for him too.

All I'm worried for now is the music because I don't know the guys behind it, and trying to make something on the level of the original 3 games is no small feat.

 

[Arkeband]

Let's go Hyper Sonic!

 

[BulletBees]

Yep. I'm in.

 

[GamerJM]

It looks kinda romhackish.

And I'm totally okay with this. Hope it gets a physical release, but I doubt it.

 

[Zomba13]

Well it looks nice but I dunno. Could be great, could capture what made the Mega Drive games great or it could just be a pixel art version of Sonic 4 and 4-2, where they just don't get it.

 

[Maxrunner]

Well yeah, because NX hasn't been revealed yet.

Wasnt there a trailer that had an nx logo and then later removed?

 

[MrSaturn99]

Goes without saying that the circumstances behind the reveal were awful, but at least what ultimately mattered (the game) ended up being pretty cool.

Count me in.
