As an aside, perhaps that old-school aspect goes towards gameplay. This writer had a hand with the Live Marketplace Sonic demo, and found the gameplay surprisingly Genesis-familiar. You run, jump, attack, spin-dash, complete the level at the speed or heat - or die trying... The only way this game can get even more old-school is if we started calling Eggman Dr. Ro-butt-nik again. |

The GameTrailers peeps sat down with Sonic Team's Masahiro Kumono (Producer) and Shun Nakamura (Director) in this short video interview to talk about two things Sonic: old-school and next-gen speed. One of our QJ writers hovered over this writer's shoulder and mentioned that Shun bears a passing resemblance to Jet Li. Uh, (name deleted for privacy), likely not...13 Comments

The only 'horrid-logic' would be if you played the demo and thought it was anything but a dissapointment.
There are no roots in this game, they've been pulled up from the ground and tossed into the compost heap. I thought the demo was horrible. The camera, control, and homing were all poorly done.
I think they should have done an Old-School 2-D Sonic with 3-D graphics. Perhaps only then will we be able to hail the triumphant return of the real Sonic into the next-gen.

I played the demo also and I tought it sucked. Sega still doesn 't know sonic doesn 't work in 3d. How can you get any speed if you bump into objects or fall of the level. Sonic should stay 2d.

» Sonic in 3D
he just does not work in 3d, trying to capture the speed of the original games in the 2d originals is just not possible, Sonic Adventure was terrible and every other Sonic game since then has been terrible, Sonic 3 + Knuckles was the daddy and is still the series best, they should not make a 3d one and put S3+K onto Xbox Live Arcade, i'd pay money for that.

» well..
on the contrary.. i thought the demo was extremely fun, despite the *****ty camera controls. the level design was awesome, and the controls were fine for me. even if its not O.G. sonic, its still the fastest adventure/platformer i've played. its ok for games to change and develope over a couple decades..

» I Beleve Gurper(Poster-6) is right!
Yeah, you read me. SCREW IT. SCREW IT RIGHT TO HELL!!! Why? I'll tell you! I am officially f&!?ing SICK AND TIRED of all this random *****ing that fans of Sonic the Hedgehog are doing! It's forcing me to question the fandom of every f***er sitting in it, and that includes EVEN MINE!! I cannot STAND the fact that the fandom is full of bloody-f***in' perfectionists that will ***** about Sega's actions at the drop of a hat! Sure, they've been goin' a little under lately, but so long as they're trying hard to give us what we want, we shouldn't give too much of a *****! It's no wonder one of my friends is absolutely sh***in' on the fandom, because we're spoiled like a hoarde of random GENERIC FURRY PERVENSTEINS!!!
First off, lemme step on the balls of everyone who is *****ing about the ever-increasing cast of Sonic characters with the left foot of MEGA MAN. Yeah, lemme do that, because you people need it! You all have been complainining about the ever-flowing addition of new characters in the new-age line of games BEFORE the drop of a hat! You and millions of other fans have been devising thousands of fancharacters for the Segaverse of Sonic the Hedgehog, as well as for the furry genre, and nobody's had a problem! BUT THEN... Then Sega introduces a NEW character or two in the next game and what happens? YOU ALL GO BALLISTIC!!! You all go berserk over ONE official character when you've got THOUSANDS of fancharacters of different kinds and that proves how much we f&!?in' SUCK, people! What? What is it? Wh-what's the f&!?ing propblem, people? Is it that we can easily tolerate our own characters but we can't handle THEIRS?!? This is f&!?in' sick! Maybe we should devise our own little 200% ORIGINAL world, then shove it up on the market and try to crush Sega and Sonic Team with it if we're gonna keep pulling this sh**!
I'm surprised that nobody's *****ing about Mega Man, ya know? Capcom has been f***in' with Mega Man more than Mario, Sonic, Pac-Man, and even Duke Nukem put together and NOBODY HAS BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT IT!!! I have YET to see a hoarde of Mega Man fans *****ing about a robot master made out of WOOD or a maverick based on a FLOWER or how the f*** the Battle Network series is warping concepts borrowed from the OTHER Mega Man series! The Mega Man worlds have more individually-named characters than Sonic has EVER had since day one, damn it! 200+ seperate bosses compared to ONE Eggman and about 3 or 4 other unique Boss-Level opponents--Sonic has it f&!?ing EASY compared to Mega Man!
Think about it! Sonic has about, what, 15-25 individually-named characters compared to, what, 70+ Robot Masters, 64+ Mavericks, 30+ Net Navis and many other uncountable characters, AND SONIC'S STILL GETTING ALL THE *****ING!! Picture this, sh**heads! If you put all the named Sonic characters on one side and throw every named Mega Man character on the other side, Sonic's will literally be CRUSHED by the character count of Mega Man's side! You guys are *****ing about something that's essentially NOTHING!! WAKE UP AND SMELL THE BOILED EGGMEN!!!
This has got to stop, people! If you don't like how Sega's handling Sonic, then why the hell are we still looking at them? Are we stalking them to try and undermine them? Has the Sonic become so miraculously horrible that we simply can't turn away from it? Or has it become as infamously popular as Michael Jackson? If Sonic's the worst thing in America since Boogerman, then we're all screwed, aren't we?
Hey, I'll tell you this, people! I don't give half of a sh** about the gameplay of a game, even if it's rather half-assed! So long as it's still enough to kick-ass in my book, I don't give a crap! Hey, if you don't like the new games, then fine! Instead of raping the new ones, STICK TO THE OLD ONES!! THAT'S WHY THEY CREATED SONIC JAM!!! THAT'S WHY THE SONIC MEGA COLLECTION EXISTS!!! THAT'S WHY THEY FORGED THE SONIC GEMS COLLECTION!!! AND THAT'S WHY SONIC ADVENTURE DX HAS UNLOCKABLE GAMEGEAR GAMES!!! IF YOU F***ERS ARE IGNORING THOSE, THEN SUCK ON SONIC'S ****!!

God DAMN it, you people are so f&!?in' RETARDED!! You fashion victims should know better than that! It's because of smacktards like you all that I'm ASHAMED to be a fan, ok? I'm ASHAMED to be a Sonic fan and f&!?ing PROUD to be a MEGA FAN OF THE MEGA MAN!!! If you don't like Sonic, then fine! Throw him the f*** out! But if you INSIST on following him, then I oughtta take a list of usernames and send SEGA of America that list of disgruntled fans, half-fans, and FALSE fans and see just what the hell they do about it! As for me, so long as there's a can of kick-ass hidden in each game, I don't give half a damn!
Listen to me, people! If they ever take Sonic away for some bizzare reason, then a lot of people will be disappointed. Yeah, I'll be disappointed, too! I will have lost the one video game star that I grew up on but I'll still get over it. Why?! Because I'll also DIE LAUGHING AT THE F***HEADS THAT HAVE BEEN *****ING ABOUT HIM FOR YEARS, AND IF I SURVIVE THAT, I'LL SMILE ON THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE ONE LESS PIECE OF SH** TO ***** ABOUT!!! I shall merely PITY DA FOO's with corrupted fan behavior because I don't care about 'em! It's THEIR asses and not MINE! Either way, I'll be f&!?in' immune to what the hell goes down, because as far as I'm concerned, they're just GAMES in the long run! This is Wesley Sahonic, the Blue Ranting Mega+Fav Bomber, signing off to get my ass RECOLORED. SEE YA, F***ERS!!!

There's nothing inherently wrong with returning to the actual roots of a game (See New Super Mario Bros).
Anyone complaining about those who criticize games are ridiculous. Atleast critics (generally) state reasons why something is bad (or good), instead of the likes of posters 1, 6, and 7 who oppose critics with "you're a troll", "let it go", and "stop *****ing" being the core of their unfounded argument. Furthermore, anyone who demands critics of a game not post a comment responding to that particular blog entry can apply that same reasoning to their own responses of outrage towards said critics (naturally, this reasoning would then apply to this very post).
The gaming public's criticizm helps developers, and ultimately results in better games.
And just for the record, I thought the gamecube games were pretty good.

» the demo had a "classic" feel? wtf?
as much as i hate this suggestion... but to make a full 3D sonic played from this perspective more "classic" and fun... make more invisiable walls and make running set on invisable pre-guided paths (like the grinding sequences, but do that everywhere on all running paths... but with multiple "lanes"). then you can make a fun, fast, "classic", playable sonic, in 3D. I fell off the damn path so many times, I probably never made it 1/2 way through the demo.
