Sega Teases New 2D Sonic the Hedgehog Game


Recommended Posts

It's going to be different from Sega's AM8 division from Japan but for a 2D game that might not be a problem; I guess we'll see.
STI made Sonic 2, 3, and Knuckles. Primarily Japanese developers, but working in the US, and not an AM team. Unfortunately SEGA Studio USA (also originally Sonic Team ex-pats from Japan) has run the series into the ground. Thank god they've been disbanded.

One can only hope that Dimps is developing this one, they did good work on Sonic Rush and Rush Adventure, as well as the later Sonic Advance games and Sonic Pocket (NGPC!!!). They're the only ones with experience doing 2d Sonics at this point.

Reboot!

Kill off all the zany characters. I couldn't care a spiky turd about his stupid mates or pink girlfriend, or a wolf sonic.

Tails and Knuckles were good, but that's it.... no more twists. Just a basic sonic game like 2 or 3 or knuckles. (1 was too slow)

+1

Sonic, Tails and Knuckles! No one else is necessary! And get rid of the stupid long legs look and bring back the good old graphics rather than go all wrong 21st Century Cartoon style!

NO, just NO - http://sonicresearch.org/art/albums/Sonic/...ture_1/s_d1.png

And it's Dr. Robotnik - NOT Dr. Eggman! :angry:

I thought Sonic Advance 1, 2, 3 were pretty good, but I didn't like Sonic Rush all that much. I'm not getting my hopes up for this one, but I'll definitely be keeping an eye on it.

I loved the Sonic Unleashed daytime stages, but loathed the Werehog stages (despite them being the most popular stages amongst the youth).

I can only hope they keep treading the daytime path and finally create something worthy of being Sonic 4

The Sonic sections were good, but did anyelese notice the real drop in quality of the models used for his Werehog phase? Shockingly bad. It's like Sonic the Hedgehog (PS3, XBOX360) had serious framerate issues. They were so bad in fact, it makes you wonder how it got past quality control!

I somewhat disagree with this, I'd rate it as follows:

5 Best Games

1. Sonic3 + Knuckles

2. Sonic CD

3. Sonic 2

4. Sonic Adventure

5. Sonic Adventure 2

5 Worst Games

1. Sonic Unleashed (so many promises, so much disappointment)

2. Sonic Heroes

3. Knuckles Chaotix

4. Sonic Labarynth

5. Sonic 3D

All in all, I didn't think Sonic R was that bad, the most challenging it go though was starting fresh, driving as Amy, and getting all Choas Emeralds and additional characters. That was a toughie!

Top 5:

1.Sonic 3&K

2.Sonic 2(first game ever played) - Knuckles Chaotix

3. Sonic Adventure

4.Sonic CD ( I didn't like the use of old sprites from Sonic 1 but I adore the special stages and time stones)

5. Sonic Adventure 2

Sonic R's soundtrack was pretty awesome I never played the game though. I also never played Sonic Jam but did you know there was a spin dash in Sonic 1?

First time I went from Sonic 2 to Sonic 3 it was weird all the refinements that were made to the zones and sonic's ability didn't appeal to me until I added on Sonic & Knuckles and bam it was a sea of epic journey.

There was no spin dash in the original release of Sonic the Hedgehog, but I think all the ports have included it as an option.

Yeah I worded that wrong I meant to say there was a spin dash in Sonic 1 in Sonic Jam on the saturn.

The Sonic 1 MegaMix does it for me, personally. Don't need Sega to make a new 2D game when people can just remix the stages from the old ones with existing sprites.
