    Meh, Sonic The Hedgehog doesn't look that bad in screen shots either. I reserve judgment till it actually get's released.

    The whole problem with Sonic now is the controls and the level design. Until there's a demo I will reserve judgement.

    Judging from the first screenshot, Sonic looks a lot less like a douche and a lot more like the kind of "attitude" he had on the Genesis.

    This alone makes me optimistic.

    Then again, his hand is going right through his quill.

    I mean, I get that that sort of thing is pretty much inevitable, but you'd think that they'd try and avoid it for a first screenshot.

    My favorite part was where they said what console it's for.

    And again, the screenshots look nice, but we really need to see it in action before being able to tell whether it's good or not.

    Also, the image where Sonic looks like he got kicked in the balls is awesome.

    Is the dev on this Sega of America?

    If so: ehhhh...

    EDIT: Except Sonic Team Japan apparently made Sonic 2006 so I guess that dosen't really mean much.

    Not gonna lie, I'm slightly worried about having "speed" and "ring energy" meters in the bottom corner.

    In my mind, Speed just means how fast you're going which seems fine, and Ring Energy is spent on doing neat stunts, like the thing he's doing in that screenshot. That actually sounds kinda cool if it's done right.

    But dang they need to show off a video or something.

    They're...making another one? Wow.

    Didn't Sonic The Hedgehog(2006) sell rather well though in spite of its horrid badness?

    Maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

    Sonic looks cheerful in the first pic. Haven't seen that in a while, lately he's been a cocky bugger. This looks promising, but then again they all do.

    For every recent Sonic game, I've been keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't suck, and I always go away disappointed.

    However, they haven't yet announced that they're introducing yet another character for this one, so I guess they're on the right track.

    edit: This is for the 360, I assume? It's hard to tell; the graphics look a little low-quality for 360 material but a little too good for the Wii.

    So far looks like just Sonic v. Robotnik.

    Please keep it this way. Tails and Knuckles are acceptable.

    The screenshots and environments look fucking beautiful.

    The designs of the environments remind me a lot of stuff from western games and western animated CG movies. With Bioware doing a Sonic RPG on the DS, is this something similar?

    I don't like that Super Sonic is now an inevitable part of the story lines. I liked it when it was a reward for a nice little special ending when you had all 7 Emeralds and all. But now its just like, "lolz super sayens."

    I couldn't play the Secret Rings or whatever. The track design was fucking terrible. I don't mind if the levels are linear like the Genesis games, but that was fucking terrible. Just terrible.

    Secret Rings just changed all the existing characters into retarded caracatures.

    Advance 2 introduced Cream the fucking Bunny. Rush introduced whatever her name is, the pink one. Blaze or something.

    didn't get Rush Adventure yet.

    I, uh, don't think you know what playable means.

    Unless you're counting the minigames no one ever touches.

    The one on the right looks like a villain from a Disney cartoon. Really western... hmmm... I'm looking forward to it.

    P.S. Remember Twilight Princess? At least Sonic isn't turning into a wolf-hedgehog. Or maybe he is.

    I hope you guys realize that Sega has been adding new characters and bizarre gimmicks to Sonic games since, I don't know, the second one. The only difference now is that the games aren't good anymore.
