name of the song in the trailer?

Edit: Thx Afrocentric-Asian

 

[Shiggy]

They better release it for PC.

It's coming, retailers list it too.

Kele - Tenderoni

Lol @ the top comment.

So is this just some random tune they chose for trailers, or did they actually get licensed music for the theme? The song doesn't really seem to have anything to do with the game, so I'm assuming the former.

O rly? I guess it will be 60fps somewhere.

I do enjoy the look of classic sonic, very playful and not 90's extreme.

Modern Sonic has more of a 90's tude' than Classic. I'm kinda glad they are portraying Classic this way.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

How long until fanfics where Modern Sonic fucks his younger self?

 

[SteveWinwood]

This looks good? How do you guys still judge sonic games from trailers? Sonic cycle etc. etc. Game might be good, but this also just could be some awesome trailer edited together? The 3d stages could be as bad as '06 and the 2d parts could be worse that 4 ep 1. HOW DO WE KNOWWWWW

 

[RagnarokX]

Spoiler

Sky Santuary/Death Egg fight perhaps?

That's the Sonic 2 version of that boss.

 

[Tuck]

Looks good. Even some of the 3D sections looked like it was more than just running.

 

[Seda]

Looks good to me.

Considering there was a demo for the 2D part I'm gonna have to say we do know.

Oh... shit... well carry on then.

I'm seein' double here!

There was already a demo, we've seen a few full level playthroughs, the Sonic Cycle was broken with Sonic Colors.

I have no clue, they did the same thing with the US City Escape trailer using a track from My Chemical Romance.

That's the Sonic 2 version of that boss.

Nooooo

 

[RagnarokX]

At first I thought it was a horendously redesigned eggrobo since those things are in Sky Sanctuary, but it's definitely the Sonic 2 Robotnik mecha. It has a painted head and spiked hands. The Robotnik mecha in The Doomsday had hands and an unpainted head with no mustache.

 

[JonCha]

Made myself look a fool in the Generations thread by thinking it was a regular robot. They do look VERY similar.

 

[nns3d]

Ugh, and the Sonic 2 Death Egg fight was so bland compared to Doomsday.

 

[Mindman]

Can't. Wait.

 

[Teknoman]

Two steps forward, one step back. I do have faith Sega will get there one day...maybe

Whats the 1 step back?

Also modern Sonic ala Colors style isnt on rails...except when you're riding on rails.

EDIT: The music used in the english trailers has nothing to do with the game...just seems to be a trend with game trailers these days.

 

[GooeyHeat]

Ugh, and the Sonic 2 Death Egg fight was so bland compared to the Sonic & Knuckles Death Egg fight.

Fixed.
Still looking forward to the game, though!

Nah, Eggrobo's head looks nothing like Robotnik's. No mustache, weird eyes.

I prefer the look of the Sonic 3K version. I always thought the Sonic 2 boss was more challenging but took forever. The only way Great Eggman Robo could kill you was if you played as Sonic and Tails and Tails hit the mecha in phase 2 while you were jumping at it causing you to fall through to your death.

 

[KrawlMan]

Holy hell that looks great. Could be the first sonic game I've owned since Adventure 1.

 

[Sciz]

Daww, pudgey sonic gets me everytime

Trailer grab:

Can we just keep the two on the right? Forever?

 

[beje]

I've looked for 3DS footage and it looks great, reminds me a lot of Sonic Rush. The fact it's a different game from the HD versions instead of a dumbed down port is a nice touch too.

 

[bridegur]

I'd love to see that engine used for an actual 3D platformer. It looks amazing.

 

[Slayer-33]

Freaking awesome, looks like a blast to play.

Actually, I was totally wrong. My bad.

 

[Zomba13]

YES YES!!
Gonna be my version of Choice (sweet Sweet Stereo 3D. Hope it looks as great as Sonic Fan Remix does in 3D)

New footage?

 

[beje]

New footage?

Nope, E3 one. Was ignoring this game as it looked like another failed attempt at mainline Sonic but the good feedback made me curious.

 

[RagnarokX]

At least Sega is honoring Sonic 4 by putting Chemical Plant boost pads in other classic version levels!

So far they're in Chemical Plant, City Escape, and Seaside Hill.

 

[MNC]

Oh my god at chemical plant zone

We wouldn't want Sonic 4's crappy level design getting left out in the celebration!

 

[basik]

bring back the classic bleep bloop music and get rid of the rock music and anything with lyrics!

 

[To Far Away Times]

Classic Sonic and Modern Sonic's facial expressions sum up their games perfectly.

 

[Box of Bunnies]

bring back the classic bleep bloop music and get rid of the rock music and anything with lyrics!

But one of the best classic Sonic soundtracks had lyrics.

 

[Mista Koo]

Do people seriously not want this in the game?!

 

[RagnarokX]

Do people seriously not want this in the game?!

Do you seriously not want this in the game?!

Yeah, I know it's in the 3DS version for the wrong boss fight and it doesn't sound as good.

 

[Mista Koo]

I don't

But either way you can't compare it with something as epic as that!!1one

 

[nns3d]

Never liked that song tbh. I'd rather have this.

 

[basik]

Do people seriously not want this in the game?!

that is glorious! also, sonic should be banned from talking.

 

[Professor Beef]

Better screengrab:

Love how pissed Modern Sonic looks. :lol

I'm seein' double here!

Four Sonics!

Now I can't get that episode out of my head! Bravo, sir.

 

[SteveWinwood]

The best sonic song ever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPC8W672mXc

 

[Upsidedown Fuji]

Lookin' good.

That's the spot.

 

[Stat Flow]

This game has me so conflicted. On one hand I absolutely hate the "present" sonic style of gameplay. At the same time, this is the first time we're getting a classic sonic game since Genesis days...so I have to get it.

UGH. I am still so salty about the decision to intertwine these two characters' games/stories. Let's just have games where there is the better Sonic (and better tails!) forever.

Anyways, it looks great.
