Quite good examples of the era, I must say. However, I'm more partial to the works of DaKnuxie, myself.

*Smokes fancy pipe*

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Yep, Machinima or Gamespot broke embargo, it's going down tomorrow. Hoping for not a gameplay-reboot and a future with more Unleashed HD styled games, 1 or 2 after that is not enough for me.

I actually do hope for a gameplay reboot. It worked in Mario 64 for Mario.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

cmdrzorg is that you

i miss you baby

please come back

lol

This doesn't seem right at all. Maybe the event won't even happen, IDK, but a Sonic Renaissance can only end in a Reformation, and then a Thirty Years Fanwar...

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Unleashed 2 please.

Replace the warehog with knuckles, Make metal sonic the villain and add a 2 player mode with shadow.

 

[MiamiWesker]

Im on board the hype train!

 

[Timeless]

Imagine that you attend a terrible summer camp for years. In the moment, you hate it. But as an adult, you look back fondly at the good times you did have, while forgetting that most of it was bad.

Those fond memories form Sonic Generations (a game that I liked).

It's very hard to make a good Sonic game because even the retro games aren't great. There's no great legacy to look back on, and no successful blueprint to follow.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Unleashed 2 please.

Replace the warehog with knuckles, Make metal sonic the villain and add a 2 player mode with shadow.

What we really want is a new Ristar. Failing that, 3D Classics Ristar from M2 with cool new features.

Contrary to minority opinion, there is a blueprint for Sonic game design success: the original physics engine devised by Yasuhara and company. Pair that with great 2D level design and a fun platformer you will make. Figuring something out similar for 3D Sonic games is the challenge yet unfulfilled.

Please GOD adventure 3 or back to what made the adventure games so enjoyable

 

[Guess Who]

Please GOD adventure 3 or back to what made the adventure games so enjoyable

Unless Sega can invent a time machine that makes us all ten years old again, it'll be pretty hard to capture what made the Adventure games enjoyable.

 

[ShroudOfFate]

Please GOD adventure 3 or back to what made the adventure games so enjoyable

My man.

This is all I've wanted since SA2.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

rest in peace knuckles

 

[ColonelColon]

saw this on twitter

http://www.tssznews.com/2012/04/04/source-possible-sonic-reboot-for-2014-explored/

didn't believe this rumor before, but it's kinda scary how well this rumor fits with recent revelations. Tomorrow is definitely going to be interesting.

The source claimed the company intends to target the young audience bent on physical collectibles by perhaps going so far as to require physical emblems and collectibles to unlock special features in future Sonic series. An example would be to purchase a Knuckles statue in order to gain the echidna as a playable character in-game. The strategy could also be used to unlock extra levels.

do not want

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Fibonacci the Hedgehog (OC do not steal)

 

[Acorn]

Wii U only? If so then I'll pass.

 

[StoopKid]

Aww yeah! New cartoon !

 

[bon]

Man I hope they aren't going to start basing games on the new cartoon. I can already tell I don't like those redesigns just from the silhouettes. Keep the games separate from the cartoons and comics.

Can you imagine if they rebooted the entire franchise with Sonic X and made a bunch of games with Chris, and Tails's weird alien girlfriend?

Even worse, imagine a game based on Sonic Underground. The horror.

 

[Laieon]

We've heard that one a million times. Sonic 2006, Sonic 4, Sonic Colors, Sonic Generations, Sonic Lost World...

Sonic Generations was great.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

Please GOD adventure 3 or back to what made the adventure games so enjoyable

The big joke is that no one can pinpoint what made them enjoyable, because they were actually terrible games.

 

[shinobi602]

PLEASE.

 

[SpikedGunner]

For the love of...If the Sonic Boom designs are going to be the main designs for (game) series, ugh.

Last time they used the "Year of Sonic" talk, it resulted in Sonic X and Sonic Heroes.

Well done.

 

[Laieon]

PLEASE.

I wish!

For the love of...If the Sonic Boom designs are going to be the main designs for (game) series, ugh.

Last time they used the "Year of Sonic" talk, it resulted in Sonic X and Sonic Heroes.

Both were great.

 

[Mory Dunz]

The next game won't really be a traditional Sonic game, right?

I mean, right after Lost World, and before Sonic 2015?

It has to be something else I would think. Don't really care about Sonic but I like speculating.

Racing? All Star Transformed is still recent
Fighting? Hm, well Smash exists so I dunno.
Shooter? Yea.....
RPG? Maybe.
Sonic Battle would be cool.
Sports Game? Maybe...perhaps Sonic joins with Mario sports titles.

Wonder if I missed anything?
(Court investigation Sonic game? Ha)

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Insert Chao Garden begging that Professor Beef can get angry at.

Spoiler

Multiplatform SA2:B Chao system port with graphical overhaul and online networking at the least, SEGA

[-Horizon-]

That seriously can't be Knuckles though D:
It just can't

 

[Dusk Golem]

For the love of...If the Sonic Boom designs are going to be the main designs for (game) series, ugh.

Don't forget Sonic Battle and Advance 3.

 

[Zeyphersan]

I can tell that people haven't played Sonic Adventure or SA2 in a while. Those games do NOT stand up. I'm not sure they ever dod

 

[Phreak47]

It shall be amusing either way.

 

[salromano]

So what's the source of the image?

 

[DryEyeRelief]

Makes all the ranting about green eyes petty in retrospect.

 

[SpikedGunner]

Don't forget Sonic Battle and Advance 3.

right, forgot about those, I really liked Battle.

Makes all the ranting about green eyes petty in retrospect.

no kidding, and I was fine with the Adventure reboot/green eyes...it got ridiculous later on, but once we hit Unleashed, it got better.

 

[Dennis]

Its Sonic but this time he brought friends.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Why do people want a Sonic Adventure 3? The only good bits were the Sonic/Shadow levels.

And, well, the Chao Garden.

 

[ShroudOfFate]

I can tell that people haven't played Sonic Adventure or SA2 in a while. Those games do NOT stand up. I'm not sure they ever dod

I played them just last year. Sure there's some jank, (they're Dreamcast games after all) but they're thoroughly enjoyable. They've got some decently varied levels, a big cast of differently playing characters, and tons of radical music.

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

Can I get a fucking chao garden, Sega? Please?

 

[Dimitri LH]

Just...after reading the details about the show...

Tails plays the Bagpipes......TT______TT WHY!??!

 

[Captain Jack]

I can tell that people haven't played Sonic Adventure or SA2 in a while. Those games do NOT stand up. I'm not sure they ever dod

I played it for the first time recently. The Sonic and Shadow levels with their speed and shortcuts, and the Knuckles and Rouge ones were passable.

Adventure 1 is kind of horrible though.

 

[Village]

Sonic Jet Set radio.

Its happnin.

Spoiler

II frigging wish

 

[Rulp]

I already feel like it's going to be terrible. I hope those silhouettes are not indicative of cartoony redesigns.

 

[Silky]

Sonic x Warhammer 40K

 

[TheOGB]

Don't forget Sonic Battle and Advance 3.

...Welp, I'm excited.

The big joke is that no one can pinpoint what made them enjoyable, because they were actually terrible games.

 

[Levyne]

I wonder how significantly different the designs are. The obvious thing is Knuckles silhouette there, but even Sonic's seems off or slightly different.

 

[Reversed]

Can't look worse than my av, but what the hell did they do to Knucks.

 

[Silky]

The big joke is that no one can pinpoint what made them enjoyable, because they were actually terrible games.

 

[SoulUnison]

That Knuckles...

Please god, no.

 

[UberTag]

What we have here is Sonic meets Skylanders... and given all of the recent redesigns in the comic verse and the desire to mass market a bunch of toys... I would not be surprised to see the historic wall between the Sonic games, comics and cartoons torn asunder tomorrow.

Knuckles hasn't been featured in the comics since the character design reset button was pushed, has he? Can't wait for the fandom uproar.

 

[ultratruman]

where is big the cat

 

[Some Guy]

People hoping for anything other than a direct tie-in game to the show are going to be disappointed. I'm pretty sure what they're going to reveal at this thing is that they're pushing the big red "REBOOT" button, and that the show and game are both a part of it.

 

[MAtgS]

I rather take the SatAM cast over a good number of the game characters.

 

[TheOGB]

where is big the cat

He and Froggy retired to a nice seaside villa to fish for the rest of their days

I'm serious

 

[Haines]

This has to be the tenth time we've been through this. Sonic will only be as good as the debs which clearly aren't up to snuff
