Trailer for Sonic: Generations released

If it doesn't come to the wii, we'll get something similar (Ala Sonic and the Secret Rings/Sonic the Hedgehog).

If that happens, the wii version will be better for no reason.

...And still, you're ending up paying $15 a pop for parts of a game that are all of 2 hours long. You can buy the original Sonic the Hedgehog games with all the levels for like a third of that. It's overpriced and it's still not what Sonic fans were looking for.

You know what... If I invest the 15$ or 60$ for a new-generation game into something I get through virtual console I will nearly always get more playtime of the older games. I don`t see how that is really an argument. Sonic 1, 2 and 3 weren`t particularly big in their time as well and were full retail games. Sonic games are short and were always meant to be played several times. It`s like saying Vanquish is short and if I buy ME2 instead I`ll get 8x the gaming length with the same amount of money

(BTW Vanquish kicks serious ass

)

And I also disagree in relation to the quality of Sonic 4. Even though the physics were a little off they weren`t gamebreaking and as I said before numerous time it was necessary due to the incooperation of the homing-attack. I agree the game should have been 10 bucks but it is a really good game non the less! Also the level-design was really good in regards of speed and plattforming balance.

I`m also kind of tired of people always starting to rant about the other games in the series when a new one gets announced, even though the last few were kind of good.

Here are the last four Sonic-games from the main-series (no sports or other kind of games):

-Sonic Unleashed (amazing presentation and really great music, also brought back the rather oldschoolish-look... great daytime-stages on Wii and PS3360 and disappointing werehog-levels, which still were very enjoyable for kids

)
-Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode I (I elaborated on that already, so...)
-Sonic Colours Wii (great game, nuff said...

)
-Sonic Colours DS (not to be mistaken with the Wii-version; essentially Sonic Rush 3 with really good enhancements (wall-jump, Wisps, proper homing-attack,...)

I think I leave it at that... Sonic Cycle

On Topic (and I kinda hate people for driving me off topic

): It looks like something that could work with the concept of Sonic CD. Going through time mid-level and according to the time-frame you`re in the levels and the Sonic-model would change. Like you are running with 2011-Sonic and then you warp 20 years through the past and play as 1991-Sonic seamlessly. Very nostalgic

I think this is gonna be good, I think sega have learnt from their mistakes and are trying to bring the series back to it's roots by bringing back the classic sonic look. Also sonic colours was good and sonic 4 episode 1 was okay, hopefully they'll allow you to play as classic sonic in episode 2

Colors was good but considering all the complete misses they had before it (Sonic Unleashed, Sonic and the Black Knight, Sonic '06, etc), it seems like they're just throwing blind. Eventually one of them will hit.

I honestly didn't mind the day stages of Sonic Unleashed. If this is just Sonic Unleashed without the werehog crap (and by that I mean if it has the gameplay of the daytime stages Sonic Unleashed had) I will happily buy it.

Maybe not for full price, but I'll buy it once it drops.
