I'm just ready for a GOOD modern Sonic game on PS4 already. Hope they deliver tomorrow.

I'm ready, I'm actually hyped. Please let it be a well put together 3D game...
Give me this sequel.
Isn't Sumo Digital working on Dead Island 2?
Of all the things Sega could capitalize on, it astounds me that they never used the Chao raising aspect outside of Sonic Adventure 1, 2 and the advance games. Like if Sega had a Chao raising game on mobile devices literred with micro-transactions, I probably would be a whale for that game.
I don't buy it. Sonic Unleashed plays nothing like the Adventure games, whereas Sonic 06 is similar to them in many ways. Just because they never intended for 06 to be Sonic Adventure 3 doesn't mean that it didn't act as a spiritual successor to that series, and in the end that's what most of the people asking for a new Sonic Adventure game want.

They're both pretty similar, really. 06's similarities are more blatant, but Unleashed pretty clearly takes inspiration from the Adventure series even if the base "Sonic" gameplay is a new take. Both SA1 and SA2 are pretty different as it is, the only thing that connects them really are the multiple playstyles and the names. The pacing of the two are super different as are the controls for each character.

I am extremely optomistic with this new game. Cant wait for tomorrow.
I'm excited but I'm also in the camp that does not really want a Sonic Generations 2 or a Sonic 5. I guess Sonic Generations 2 wouldn't be too bad if they were all original levels, but I dunno, I would like something new. Could be a platformer in the vein of Sonic Generations but with a playable Tails and Knuckles instead of classic Sonic, I dunno.

I don't want Generations 2, I want some new kind of adventure.

Sonic Unleashed is called Sonic World Adventure in Japan.
And I hate to say it, but Sonic 06 plays just as much like Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog than the Adventure games.
So, the Nintendo eShop is currently having a Sonic sale.
(Sonic 1 & 2 for 3DS are on sale too but they're under "3D Sonic" so they won't be under S like the other Sonic games.)
Hmm...how strange that Nintendo put these games on sale now instead of last month for Sonic's birthday. Hmm,,,

Please have the boost gameplay from unleashed/Generations.
You're part of the problem. You are one of these guys that play the game just running forward, part of the reason they changed their design visions to what we see in Sonic Advance 2 onwards and other games like Sonic Adventure 2 and forward.
You could play with the other characters just as good as with playing with Sonic. They all had very similar speeds, with the benefit of having other alternative paths to explore. Never felt that they were slow or anything.
Love Advance 1 because they still kept what was great in Sonic 3 & Knuckles, while introducing Amy as playable (great character in that game).

What!? Why so hostile? Hahahhah you don't know me dude. "Part of the problem?" What? It's a video game dude. I think you need to relax.
My point was that I prefer the vanilla controls and felt that the other characters with their extra moves were superfluous. Sonic CD is my favorite game in the series and that's nowhere near as dumbed down as Rush, Advance 2 and 3, etc. You didn't need climbing and flying to take advantage of adventurous level design when the physics allowed you to traverse great lengths without extra moves. That was my point and you spun it into some crazy crap for some reason?

Today is the day I can't wait do yourself proud sega I'll be positive about today
You mean generations/colours?

I'd say a 25th anniversary more than warrants another Generations. In fact, I'd say a new generations game every 5 years is perfectly acceptable.

This would be Sega's first major stream like this, so nobody knows how Sega handles these things, really.

Been playing through the original trilogy (& Knuckles) and Sonic CD on steam last few days.
My first console when I was six was a Mega Drive with Sonic the Hedgehog. It has a fond place in my heart. 25 years.
However the Trilogy and CD are amazing games, they have been the pinnacle of the series thus far and I hope we get a remastered collection, gorgeous graphics same levels. It doesn't need to be a new game.
3D game wise the last one I play was Sonic Heroes, and I thought it was fun, but been wary since 06 and the poor reception.
Sonic 4 was tripe.
Sonic R and Racing were both amazing (the former had a fantastic soundtrack.).
I hope they make an effort in to this. Sonic has been dragged through the mud and any good game is usually dismissed.

Hoping to wake up tomorrow and read great news about the next Sonic game.
Hopefully is something with Modern Sonic gameplay like Generations, which had a perfect gameplay.
Hopefully is the return of Classic Sonic, mixing 2D and 3D gameplay, with Generations engine for Classic Sonic.
Hopefully we don't have to stand Sonic's shitty friends again, just Tails.
hopefully is not another Adventure-style game. We already had 3 and Sonic was a joke during those years.
So much Hypeeeee!! But I should have my body ready for disappointment.

I think it's going to be pretty good.

Well, it's Sega's decision and considering they are celebrating Sonic's birthday this week, it seems reasonable. By the way, these ports are incredible.

Yeah it's Sega's call, and holy SHIT I never realized how intriguing the timing is with this.
I mean EVERY Wii U and 3DS game bar the Olympic games and Game Gear ones sans Triple Trouble are on sale here. With nothing on any other system that I can tell at the moment (Steam, PS3, 360, etc).
Why is Triple Trouble the only GG game they ever put on sale? I want Sonic 2.

This game HAS to be good, and it HAS to impress.
The sonic the hedgehog twitter and facebook has been talking to much shit and memeing around online for this game to look unimpressive. If so it will finally be time for him to be shit on lol and im not sure how that account is going to fight back. If its memes and shit then yeah, Sonic is a joke at that point to me.

Gens 2 where the only new game repped between that and Gen 1 being Lost World would be pretty miserable. There's better things to do right now.
Good thing there are bunches of other games and other levels from sonic games that werents sonic generations
Amongst the other additions shown in mods, like alternate styles of play via other playable dudes.
So no actually, its fine and everyone would like it.

I'm not wrong! You can't keep celebrating a franchise's nostalgic value every 5 years when you're not adding anything worthwhile to the brand in the interim spaces! It's ridiculous and is a seriously bad look for the series. They need to make... at least two more reasonably decent Sonic games before he gets to be nostalgic again. That's my line.
Besides, people only want Gens 2 because it was good. Just make a game with that gameplay (the Modern Sonic gameplay specifically, though an original Hedgehog Engine sidescroller in that vein would be A-OK too) and people would be excited. Probably more excited than if it was another game with GHZ again. I think the nostalgia is detrimental right now.

Generations 2 would be so shit. Glad its not gonna be that. Yes im from the future. 10 hours ahead.

I don't think no friends is the way to go but rather refined gameplay for each character. Sonic Adventure did it quite well for half the cast.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
This. Friends are fine, but split them up like in SA1 and never give us Big the Cat again.
I'd be cool if two of the other characters were Silver and Shadow and they played like a slightly different Sonic with different stages. Hell, throw Blaze in there too.
