Every time we hear Sonic news these days it's always sad.

But I'm all for suing the Black Eyed Peas for being generally terrible, so more power to Ubisoft.
Look at the Sonic Jump gameplay 2007:
In 2010 (just noteworthy for the touch interface):
And in the new 2012:
Also, you say at 3:14 "which IS doodle jump but with sonic" - then show two pictures side-by-side of Sonic Jump and... Sonic Jump? What's up? Seriously? What the hell?
EDIT (links to @Dash & @Snowy points): Where's Sonic? from 18 years ago: http://info.sonicretro.org/Where's_Sonic?
Sonic Jump released Feb 2005:

Also why would anyone bother with d3 now that torchlight 2 is out?
Also, why are you so surprised by the book? The craft store I work in carried a whole line of bad Where's Waldo ripoffs this summer, including Dora, Disney Princesses, Tinkerbell, Green Lantern, Iron Man, and Captain America. I'm surprised it took this long to try Sonic! (At least they seem to be using offical art... the ones we had in, not so much...)

Poor Paul...
Bad Graham... Though if the Emperors are going to walk round naked then Checkpoint may as well be the small child that points and laughs first.
I think it's worse than that because going really fast is quite literally the extent of Sonic's character. Instead, they want to make games with Sonic that are about everything but moving fast.
Look, in Nintendo's Mario offshoots, Mario still jumps on things, collects coins, fights Bowser, and pretty much stays consistent as a character. In the Zelda games you know Link is going to be swinging a sword and running around open areas. In the CoD games you know you're going to be shooting some guy in the crotch with an MP4. In the Dead Space games you know you're going to be running down dark corridors and fighting tentacle monsters in the air vents. In the Mass Effect games you know you're going to be boning blue unisex aliens. In a Grand Theft Auto games you're going to give up on the missions after 10 minutes and work on racking up stars.
When you see a new Sonic game you have no idea if he's going to be actually rolling into a ball and moving real fast, or even the main character.
Its Drop Dead.
That's it, Drop Dead, with capital D's.
"Not taking it seriously enough" is a bullshit excuse, you saw CoD and had dollar signs in your eyes, and instead of making something -NEW- you recycled generic trash that nobody likes, and in one fell swoop not only flushed all interest for this game down the toilet by turning it into generic crap, but also all your credibility down the toilet at the same time.
I let All 4 One slide, cause for -SOME- reason in your coke fueled brains you thought "THE WII IS SELLING HUGE, SURE NO THIRD PARTY TITLES ARE SELLING FOR IT BUT ITS HUGE! ITS GOTTA BE MAKING MONEY! QUICK! LETS MAKE A FOUR PLAYER FREE FOR ALL PARTY GAME!" and you know the old saying "Fool me once, shame on me" but you've officially run out, you have fooled me twice into thinking I was going to get something, then pulling the ol bait and switch and dumping crap on me.
Here's a, gasp, amazing idea, just off the top of my head, go use all that gold you saved up and buy back the Spyro license and stop letting them beat the fricken crap out of it with all that Skylanders crap, or hell, you are friends with Naughty Dog and Sucker Punch, go buy the Jak and Daxter License or Sly Cooper licenses off them, cause they have for the last 5 years been -FAR- too busy being -SUPER SERIOUS GAMES COMPANIES- by tossing out crap like Resistance, Uncharted and Infamous, and produce some -FUN- games.
Why do I ask you? Cause you have only -RECENTLY- gone super serious mode, while those other companies have had their heads shoved completely up their asses and in full "WE WANT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AS A MEDIUM!" mode, and have forgotten what fun is and rather toss out generic crap all day long with "Super intense storylines" and other crap.
Like god dammit its been over -EIGHT- years since the last true Jak and Daxter game, I need my fix, and you can provide it.
Or keep your head in the sand and think your CoD clone will sell just cause it has a few fun "Toys", you know, games like Singularity, how did that game do again?
Oh while you're at it and away from the desk, pass by Squarenix on the way and whack them hard upside the back of the head and remind them like fun games like FF6, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG etc were their companies highlights everyone talks about because they were fun, and stuff like FF13 everyone forgot within a weekend.
Dude, seriously take a chill pill. Insomniac has made co-op shooters since the Ps2. Ratchet Deadlocked was a fun game. Several of the Resistance games had co-op. Basically, just like the Sonic Jump thing, Checkpoint didn't do the research and were just plain wrong. Which is fine! They're a comedy show and we don't expect them to be 100% right about everything. I personally don't also expect someone to issue death threats based on their jokes, but you never know...
Although to be fair, I think the Daily Show does the best job of delivering news of any show on TV today, so... congratulations, Checkpoint team! You are now officially a news outlet! I expect nothing less than Jon Stewart level performances each week!
