Every Sonic game since the dawn of time has been proclaimed as a return to his roots. Sonic Unleashed as a fucking Evil Hedgedog Sonic in it and is still a return to his roots.

Supposedly in PR and advertising land, anything under a Gamerankings score of 70% is a marketing failure.
..... I can only imagine that these abominations are Sega's way at retaliating against Yuji Naka for setting up Prope not making games for them.
"Oh, so you want to make your own studio and do NOTHING, huh? Well... how about we give your beloved creation Sonic a SWORD??!?"
"OH GOD NO, I'll go back to work, I swear, ANYTHING BUT THAT!!!"

Serious question: Was Naka involved with Shadows the Hedgehog, Sonic Heroes, and the other crap? I know he did Adventure 1 and 2.

Dear Sega,
I was just playing some Brawl and Sonic in that game is awesome. So here's a thought: go to Sakurai and ask the bloke if you can borrow the Smash engine and use it as a blueprint for a new Sonic platformer if you want to do something exclusive for Wii. Yes, I do understand that there isn't enough info to pass judgement on this project. But frankly, I don't care. In fact, it will be shitty. Why Sega, WHY!!??
Hugs and kisses,
Sadist

I'm confused. The issue with Sonic on the cover has Sora riding Yoshi at the end of the issue?
Or is this some sort of perverse joke about all of us hoping for a Mushroom Kingdom Hearts?

Sonic's Smash character had a large amount of references to his old game days. The spin dash, jump sound effect, ducking and ledge dancing animation were all references to his 16 bit self. It's kind of amazing that a spin off from another company was more faithful to Sonic than Sega has been in....a long while.

There seem to be two "back to his roots" factions.Cow Mengde said:
One of them, which is the more vocal of the two, is the group that wants Sonic back to the exploratory side. Unleashed's Rollercoaster levels (ignoring the Werehog) stab at them from the hearts of hell, since they don't believe the point of Sonic is to be fast anymore than the point of Mario is to jump all the time.
The other faction just wants stupid shit like the Werehog and swords to stop happening. By "back to the roots", they don't mind a little roller coaster gameplay, but god stop using the shitty friends, stop putting characters in three-man cells, stop transforming, stop using weapons, stop making out with princesses - the list goes on and on. They just want Sonic levels.
"Bring Sonic back to his roots" can really mean either of these two things and, in the context of a thread where all we know is that he looks straight out of Soul Calibur, I'd assume it's the latter.

Yeah, it worked for Harvest Moon! Maybe they should make a Sonic farming game! Sonic Speed Farm for the Wii! Sonic now lives in the country to enjoy a peaceful life. Sonic can run really fast to harvest crops before sun down! Hell, Sonic can run really fast to do all the cores. Tend to your cows, shave sheep, try to score with the local chicks (human of course), and get married. Best Sonic game ever!

Maybe they could also make Sonic all emo and give him bad spikey hair, that might help this new image and the game's sales.
It works for Square-Enix.

Completely unrelated to anything, but...
Subspace Emissary was an action game, not a platformer. It does have a few platforming moments, but the whole structure (multiple locations where the screen locks and only starts moving after every enemy is defeated, heavy emphasis on combat, to the point where most enemies usually chase the characters, rather than trying to keep any kind of static position as obstacles) is obviously closer to a 2d action game, a beat them up, even. Touching enemies doesn't even hurt the characters...
Oh, come on already. Do we really have to do the "must be a fake" routine every time a new game is announced?cw_sasuke said:
It isn't fake. There's no one within the Sonic community capable of or willing to do that kind of professional render, and no one outside of it gives enough of a damn to bother because Sega is quite capable of coming up with ludicrous concepts on their own.
More commonly, it's known as jpeg artifacts.

And this of course makes more sense than JPEG compression. Its like Holmes himself has returned from his fictional grave to solve the fucking problem for us.
It's not fake. They're basing their argument on:cw_sasuke said:
- Dead Rising being previewed too soon after the Japanese reveal (why?)
- Dead Rising being called a series (journalist uses a term improperly, news at 11)
- some glow being around the Dead Rising text for no reason (it's just compression artifacts)
- Sonic picture being cropped badly (ok, but who made the picture itself?)
Four controversial points don't make an acceptable one, sorry.

I desperately want Sonic Unleashed, Dark Brotherhood and Black Knight to be dizzyingly awesome so GAF will have to eat epic crow....or at least be 8.0 games so most of GAF will have to give begrudging respect.
.....But it won't happen, will it? Sega doesn't even care anymore.
