What people know about so far:

 

-Classic Sonic is in this game!

-Remember the daytime levels in Unleashed and the platforming in Colors? Modern Sonic's levels uses elements from these.

-Seems like Classic Sonic gameplay really is like Classic Sonic this time. Even the tiniest details are like this!

-Old levels from Sonic 1, 2, 3&K, and Adventures 1 and 2 will have remakes in this game as well.

-This is only available on the HD consoles (PS3/Xbox360) as seen from the trailer. Sorry Wii fans :(

-This is also available for the 3DS for all you Nintendo fans, and it seems like it would be ported to Project Cafe as well.

-Seems like other characters like Tails, Knuckles and Shadow will make appearances too.

 

In addition to this, there are other Sonic titles in development as well. Sonic 4 episode 2, Sonic 3DS, and the new Mario & Sonic. Nothing is released for these, though.

 

With the recent successes of Sonic 4 and Sonic Colors, this can only get better from here. :D

 

So what are your thoughts? What do you guys want in this game? What will be in it? Speculation time!

Moar gameplay of Green Hill.

Same as that other one except with no interview, and that there's a bit more in the Modern Sonic section.

 

So it seems like combo tricking is still present, and it apparently can overfill your boost gauge.

 

Also getting hit makes you lose 50 rings. Harsher than Unleashed's 20 rings but at least it's better than Colors where you lose all your rings.

I've always had a spot in my heart for sonic. Not because of the fact that he's an awkward-looking franchise mascot, but because, imo, he's the mascot for all those people who want to rip off marvel comics (think about it, a blue hedgehog...a red-suited man who runs really fast...). Sad that this sonic game isn't available on wii, seeing as nintendo has more or less catered to sonic entirely since it debuted back in 1991.

Well, apparently Sega's reason of why Sonic Generations won't be on the Wii is because it's HD, lol.

 

*tries to find that official picture explaining so*

 

Although I'm one of those Wii only people as well I can perfectly understand why it's difficult to port this to the Wii. The PS3 can barely handle the Hedgehog Engine, it obviously won't work for Wii.

 

EDIT: Ahh, here it is.

Shows that the red rings from Sonic Colors MIGHT make a return as well! :thumbsup:

I'm actually genuinely excited for a Sonic game for the first time in God knows how many years. I've played all the Sonic games (my friend always gets them first day and I go over to his house so we can see how bad it is), and Sonic Colors was actually really good, which surprised the crap out of me. This looks pretty good as well, though we all know that 3D sonic can lead to problems. I don't see how Sonic Team could screw up 2D Sonic. Hopefully we aren't going to find out there's some sort of gimmick later on.

 

Otherwise, I'm going to add this to my list of "Maybes'".

Based on Unleashed Day stages + DLC, as well as Colors, I really don't see how Sonic Team can really screw over 3D Sonic now.

 

Over the years Sonic Team have definitely listened to the fans. The classic section expands and improves upon Sonic 4 episode 1, and the modern section is basically Unleashed day and Colors built upon.

Another interview video, but at the end there's an extra part to the modern level, which goes all the way to the goal ring.

 

The first level is quite obviously going to be easy as seen from it.

EDIT: With that came the full modern level video (obviously edited to make it fit, of course). Added it to first post.
