I have a large group of early Sonic 2006 screenshots, most of which never were used in magazine coverage/etc. They were accidentally posted on the Sega Public Relations FTP and a few sites posted them up. They were eventually taken down within 24 hours, but I managed to snag them. The screenshots even showcase a lost feature, the game's Day/Night cycle:
It's funny, because they've done this "whoops, we shouldn't have uploaded those there!" thing a number of times. I wonder if it has something to do with how they set file permissions or what? It seems really weird to make this mistake 4-5 times over the course of two years. :lol
Maybe they didnt get to use most of that because MS and Sony rushed em for the holiday season? Thats my guess anyway. Would've been pretty nice too.

and yet there is no day/night cycle at all...what the fuck.
I wish I got to see a completed polish version of that game...

Yeah. When that Secret Rings interview shed light on why Sonic 06 turned out so crappy (MS and Sony rushed the hell out of them for the holiday season)...it made me wonder how the game could've been an amazing game (the soundtrack and graphics were in place for the most part). So Sega still doesnt have full blame for that travesty.
Im knocking out missions in Sonic Rush Adventure right now since I beat the non emerald boss (still need the chaos and sol emeralds), and after noticing how many platforming sections ( Machine Labyrinth Zone) are actually in the game, I hope Sonic Unleashed turns out to be just a bigger, better looking and sounding, Rush game.
The way the bosses were done in the game worked nicely. Imagine those nicely detailed DS battles in HD and with home console power. And the music is growing on me. Sega should just continue to perfect the Sonic Rush style bit by bit, and use that for all Sonic canon games. Canon platforming games handheld and console anyway.

You do know the purpose of 'pr' is to generate positive press coverage? right....?
Do you really think these are 'mistakes'?

What was that Miyamoto quote?
"An unfinished game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever"? With enough polish any game can good, it just means that sometimes "polish" can be defined as "scrapping entire game design concepts and changing some of the levels drastially".

It confounds me that there is some sort of sect of Sonic fans who don't seem to care about the gameplay at all, but rather, the "story" and the voice acting. wtf. furries.
Also just for arguement sake:
If the type of 2.5D gameplay we've seen so far is like Sonic Rush, the way we think it is:
(Courtesy of IGN)
Sonic Rush:
8.0 Presentation
Extensive adventure with several gameplay options. The developers push a decent story, but it's time to start giving DS cutscenes better focus instead of the "subtitled talking heads" type.
9.0 Graphics
Fast and furious action that ties both screens as one. Excellent combination of 2D and 3D elements with some really clever visual effects at work.
9.0 Sound
Extremely catchy background music that's very remeniscent of the Jet Grind Radio style. In-game voice work gives the action some charm, too.
9.0 Gameplay
The fastest, most energetic, and coolest 2D Sonic game created. The "unfair" elements of past Sonic games have been remedied with new and welcome gameplay elements. And it's incredibly challenging.
9.0 Lasting Appeal
The two character structure keeps replay high, and the single cart multiplayer races are surprisingly fun.
9.0
Outstanding OVERALL
Sonic Rush Adventure:
7.5 Presentation
Fun story with extensive text dialogue cutscenes, and an adventure with tons of tasks to do. It's just a little heavy handed in its requirements.
8.0 Graphics
Same unbelievably fast and smooth side-scrolling engine that pushes all sorts of over-the-top fun. The double-tall boss battles are a bit of a mess, though, with inconsistent framerates.
8.0 Sound
Extremely upbeat soundtrack that fits the whole Sonic universe. Not a whole lot in the way of spoken dialogue, though.
8.0 Gameplay
More of the same great platforming that was in the original Sonic Rush. Boss battles are a little sloppy compared to the rest of the game, and the boat races are a bit of a drag. No pun intended.
8.0 Lasting Appeal
The "adventure" might not be huge, but single cartridge multiplayer as well as Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection beefs up the fun.
8.0
Impressive OVERALL
Kinda easy to see why we're all excited and optimistic. I'm just sayin.
:lol

You know, they have to make Sonic about more than just running really fast and collecting rings. I was a Sonic fan back in the Genesis days and like most people REALLY enjoyed Sonic & Knuckles the most. And going back and playing Sonic as Knuckles with the cartridge. I played Sonic Heroes...Was very average.
Watching the videos of Sonic Unleashed it certainly looks like it's a return to the Genesis days but...Sonic has to be about more than running fast and collecting rings. I'm sorry, but it does.

Looks nice.
Levels look to have been rendered with lots of global illumination.
If they stick with 2d gameplay it might actually be good. Both traditional 2d sonic gameplay and special stage 2d gameplay.
It would also be nice if there were some water section like in the old Sonic games with slower movement but lighter gravity and having to find air bubbles.

The trailer is up at Gametrailers, and the only platforms listed are 360/PS3.
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/32170.html
edit: Also, I'm guessing this means an official press release is coming?

wait was this trailer just released? Or did we see this a few pages back? I haven't been following, but that looks INCREDIBLE! Graphics and gameplay. Seriously I'm so hyped right now. 2.5D for a lot of that it looked like, which is what sonic REALLY needs. Seriously if this works, nintendo needs to take something from this and do a remake of DKC in 2.5D.

This is the Sonic Rush esque trailer we were all flipping out about, and clueless people were going "lolz this gaime iz shiet" before seeing the trailer or anything.

How can they? Its basically Sonic Rush on HD consoles. All they need to do is do the bosses in the same style as Sonic Rush Adventure, and they're good. Throw in kick ass bonus stages in the style of Sonic 2/ Sonic 3d blast saturn version, and Sonic will have returned.
Seriously, if the bonus stage looks like this:
