Isn't 2 sonic racers also too close if it gets released this year?

Transformed came out last fall, a year gap is fine, Sega's been no stranger with releasing similar games a year apart.
3DS version was in spring though, but to most it was ass, but that's not a factor.

I was hoping for Sonic Adventure 3, but this looks pretty good!

This game might just sell me on a Wii U. I'm having Dreamcast flashbacks.

Man, I hope they get more strict with the ranking system this time around.
In Generations, you can make tons of mistakes and still wind up with an S rank (besides dying of course).
But in Colors, you make one mistake, and you're done. You have to be fast, you had to have a ton of rings, all while still trying to pull off tricks and getting bonuses from finding Red Rings. I always loved that feeling of having to make the "perfect run". It made getting S ranks much more enjoyable.

If it's like Colors it'll drop to $20 within a year.
That's why I'll wait for it (if I get it at all).
Or you can just spam all the power-ups and rack up points that way.
yup and the when he runs on walls the animation looks a lot like rainbow mario, looks really fun.

Sonic All Stars was critically acclaimed but sales left a lot to be desired.

Nah, I think the gameplay is going to stay the same throughout the game, unless they add some bullshit. The reason they have the new control system is so that you can go fast when you want, and platform more carefully when you want.
They were both included in financial reports. And they made a sequel.
point is, if they would have done bad, they woudn't have been included

That's... not how these things work.
to be fair, did sega ever said that the game was a flop or are we assuming than that was the case since it didn't sell 5 million units?
The same could be said for the other said, was the game a sucess? it barely sold a million units with releases in almost all the plataforms that exist today
I'm more inclined to believe that this was a success more than a failure, but how could I know

I hope so, I want this to be the Sonic game to prove the hedgehog can work amazingly in 3D space
Tyson really understands Sonic character design. He also knows all the words to the Knuckles rap by heart. He can redesign my "deadly six" anytime, if you know what i mean. (I don't.)
I'm not entirely sure what to make of this three-tiered movement system (hold no triggers to walk, one trigger to run, both to dash), but hopefully the separation will result in tighter controls during both the more platforming-heavy and speed-heavy sequences. Really looking forward to going hands-on with it.

Looks fucking beautiful.
That cover art too. Damn.
More reason to buy a Wii U.

To be fair though its not like Sega's games ever sell 5 million copies
had no idea that was actually a real company.
EDIT. sorry got 'enron' confused with 'encom'.

It wasn't Sonic 2006 bad. But it was really bad, horrible controls, boring level design, way, way inferior to the Sumo-games. Zero Gravity was better in regards to controls and learning curve, but in turn was so easy and simple that it wasn't a good effort either. I can't judge on the Kinect game though.
Regarding the third game being a platformer: An Unleashed level pack, an Unleashed-daytime and Generations mix-up game (Nintendo-only players haven't played these games) or an Adventure 3 would all be different enough from Lost Worlds, that it would be worth it to release them close to each other.
I can't see it being a 3D platformer with an inferior (hopefully) style of gameplay. Maybe an RPG, Rush, Classic or a party/racing game.

Looks like Sega's version of The Wiggler from the Mario series

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
I wish they'd at least chosen a different colour checkerboard or pattern or something so the whole thing doesnt feel quite as shameless as it does. Hill Top Zone or Palm Tree Panic stylee.
Doing GHZ again, even though with hopefully refreshingly different gameplay, does feel somewhat creatively bankrupt.

If this isn't Mario Galaxy with a Sonic overcoat I don't know what is. You can tell they took a lot of inspiration from both games. I would not be surprised if the Sonic Team had a little bit of help from the Mario Galaxy crew.

God all the new pics look really good. Yeah...no fighting it at this point. I'm eyeballs deep in the Sonic Cycle.

This will be my first Sonic purchase in at least a decade. At least I'm pretty sure I'll get it, unless the reviews aren't good.

A booster on a short path to a spring. Not really the think I want to see. Automation needs to stop.
So far everything else looks pretty good in terms of level design, so I hope they don't fall back into rollercoaster land.

As a casual Sonic fan I think GHZ is one of the cooler audio-visual themes in gaming. I wouldn't mind at all if the first levels look like that. Not the whole game of course.
