I need my 360 back now!
I think Sonic will be back with a vengeance this time round.
SEGA seem back on track too :)

Just seen the Sonic Trailer and it blew me away!
So glad SEGA did a good job and if really looking forward to playing it.

And those 15 years have absolutely flown by

Now that my pulse is normal I'm gonna comment on this.

Um, frankly, this is a bit of a dream scenario for me. When Shadow The Hedgehog came out I was actually pretty keen on the thought of a Sonic game that had sort of a tragic tone to it. Sonic CD was that in a lot of ways, and I've always liked the contrast between a well designed "cartoon" or "fantasy" hero (there isn't really a good word for it that doesn't sound patronizing) and a sad story.

I dunno if a lot of people played Ecco The Dolphin: Defender of The Future (DC, PS2) or if anyone got far in it, but once you'd gone through the lush, green bits at the beginning, you were transported through time to an alternate wastelandish future with murky, oily water, and injured, sick and mutated creatures. If you swam to the surface, you could see rusty machinery and dark skies in all directions, and it had such an enormous impact. Much more so than if you stick a gritty looking Gears of War character in - surprise! - a gritty looking apocalyptic city.

SO, with Shadow, beyond the initial impression that they wanted to GANGSTAH up Sonic, I was starting to like the thought of having that done to the Sonic universe. Not permanently, mind. I still want my green hill zones and be chased by avalanches and all that, but you know, just for once I wanted that same contrast and impact Ecco had.

In some ways Shadow delivered on that. The cutscenes made me SQUEAL LIKE A FAN-PIG in their utter fucking amazingness. Sonic especially looked absolutely superb rendered grittier and less shiny candy/Sonic Heroes-y. Of course the game was an extremely average affair that, while sporting better controls than a lot of the 3D sonics, succumbed to mediocreness because of really boring art direction beyond "LET'S MAKE IT BROWN AND RED!" and repetitive, charmless levels devoid of personality.

Shadow, which was ultimately a failure both from a quality standpoint aswell as a commercial one, didn't leave me with much hope of the GOOD ideas buried within being tackled with greater success elsewhere.

Until now, that is.

So you liked it then Simon ;)

Curiously, not so much. I didn't find the trailer itself particularly exciting compared to something like the Sonic Adventure intro, but what it promises is quite thrilling. :D

Agreed Sonic adventure was great to control and very well implemented
