Thanks for the trailer PC. That intro just scream Final Fantasy.The Adventure Fields look pretty cool. It almost look european. The Jungle level look even cooler than in the previous games. I hope they add a ice level too.
edit- Sega of Japan has site up

Now, why does that new Silver info sound so familiar?

I'm hoping Sonic Team doesn't pull yet another ref to DBZ and have Paleface here be the illegitimate son of the angsty protaganist/antagonist who's come from the future to change history for the better.
Put a purple Robotnik Corp. vest on the guy and give him a sword, Sonic Team.
You know you want to.
EDIT: SHADONIC, fix your link.
More gameplay footage at GameTrailers
It's mentioned that rings will be used as currency to buy new moves, among other things, and that it's planned that other Sonic characters will at least make some kind of appearance.
I noticed when they showed some of the Kingom/Hub area, there were only humans. I wonder where Sonic's people are at?
Hopefully they might appear in other areas.
Here's a magazine preview of the game. Beware, they're pretty huge screens. Credit goes to "DISCO PONIES" of the Sonic Stadium:
discoponies.co.uk/stuff4s.../sonicmag/
One interesting thing I notice from the first page, is that they refer to Sonic and Silver having seperate stages a la SA2, yet a Spokesperson at E3 said they would all go through the same stages. Even though I'd prefer the magazine to be right, I doubt that a Sega Spokesperson would make that mistake...
Pages 5 and 6 are the most interesting to me, even if they misspelled Princess Elise's name.
I was a supporter of the Elise+Eggman thing all along. xD
Quote:
She's quite sexy and has as a result been kidnapped by Eggman.
xDDD
Additionally the article suggests only Sonic and Silver are playable... which was the case in the E3 demo.. wonder if Shadow will only have a very short part to play? Perhaps only one or two levels.
I also wonder why it keeps repeating that this is the first game set in the human world. >>'
P.S.: What's the Cream petition thing in page4?
"Dear Sonic Team, we love the look of your new game, but we are worried that it doesn't appear to have much (or any!) Cream the Rabbit action in it.
Please can you make sure you put her in the game. She's cool, quite sexy for a rabbit a would garuntee the game gets at least a 9/10.
Thanks in advance,
OXM 360"
Quoted directly. I made no changes in spelling, nor grammar.
quite sexy for a rabbit
WTF?! She's, like, FIVE!!
Of course, that doesn't stop SOME artists _
*cough*HARLEY*cough*
I will cry if they add in Cream. Yes ... cry. I hate her that bad.
Well, I got bad news, if you look at GameTrailers Sega Booth video the product manager for Sonic says that Sonic will be able to visit his friends in the hub world and that they will be playable in some form as well.
Probably not in the main story, which focuses on just the three hedgehogs, but maybe in mini games. Y'know side stuff that's totally voluntary.
Where is Harley anyway?
I have to admit I do want to see more of the Hub area. It might be the closest thing I get to Shenmue 3. And that just wants to make me cry.
So wait, according to the scans, Silver not only has psychic powers but Magneto powers too?
Oh and that Cream petition is creepy.
Don't worry John, we will get Shenmue III someday...
">
I'm trying to think of the towns in STH like adventure fields from SA1 rather than a F.R.E.E area.

I interpreted the Magneto powers as another way of calling his psychic powers, since he bends metal bars to propel himself into the air.

No. Bending metal falls under telekinesis - it's not exclusive manipulation of metal itself. Never heard of psychics bending spoons? =P
Spoons? What spoon? There is no spoon.
Does this new sig/avvie combo make me look fat?
EDIT: Avvie?
Fear before Eggman and his four solid-gold nipples!!

Personally, I think it would be better if it was respectably smaller ... but yes, it does make you look quite fat.
It makes you hella cool.
It has to be said from that angle he doesn't look all that childhood crushingly realistic. Just detailed.

Definition of telekinesis by Wikipedia
Written in the article, the author says that Sega got the better parts of other titles and put them all together (I'm paraphrasing but it's there). He lists Sonic Rush and Shadow the Hedgehog as two examples. I'm wondering whether they had more sources of inspiration (not necessarily from the games: Sonic's first level reminds me of a beautiful combination of Marble (sans the lava) and Labyrinth /Aquatic Ruins/Hydrocity Zone mixed together. Silver's (and possibly Shadow's) first level reminds me of Shadow's game trailer.
Your sig is way too big in filesize, TTG. Needs to be in the vicinity of 50KB.
I played it at E3 and it was okay, I guess. As with previous 3D Sonic games it's way too easy to send yourself charging over the edge, it's pretty much impossible to predict whether you're going to make it from one platform to the next and no, they still haven't fixed the Goddam camera. Wildfire was much better.
"Your sig is way too big in filesize, TTG. Needs to be in the vicinity of 50KB. "
It is a little big, I'll shrink it.
But why does Ifranview compress things easier than photshop? 0o
Better?
Yes. Thank you ^_^
I don't like the viewpoint of that picture. Seriously.
It reminds me of something where this dude then got his face pushed into the crotch. In this case, Eggman's gonna put our face into his crotch! =O
Nah, I think it's just you. :p
Eggy's new look says "I'm an evil man that's sick and tired of cuddley little bots that go boom because of a certain blue hedgie and now I'm will obliterate that blue African pygmy hedgehog-like character that interferes with my plots to destroy lands and create a tyranny where I rule supreme".
I like it: it's diabolically evilish.
Yes, I agree. He seems to be completely tossing aside the "Sonic is my Rival, I secretly respect him and only try to conquer to world to test him" attitude. He finally seems capable of being terrifyingly driven to achieve something, and the look on the princess's face when she meets this seemingly polite, yet evil man proves it even more; she's petrified. He's finally a villain, with a new look to boot, like some kind of twisted general.
The only problem I have with this scenario is that in order to keep this new feel, Sonic Team must not have some other being as the final boss, whom Eggy teams up with the heroes to deafeat. Eggman must be the last boss.
o.o Woo @ overuse of the word "seems"
Well, that or you could have a cop-out, and have the typical lizard final boss - with Eggman on the lizard's side.
Seriously, it seems that every time some lizard comes to take over the world, Eggman's always on Sonic's side. How about him interfering with Sonic's attempts to stop the creature? Then, while he wouldn't be the final boss per se, he'd certainly be as evil as ever.
Yes, that works too.

You know I been thinking what if that monster we have seen in the trailers is Eggman? You know somehow mutated by "THE FLAMES OF DESTRUCTION". Maybe that why Silver travel throught time to stop him from becoming that. That would be pretty cool.
I like how Eggman moves in the CGI. Very super villian. Eggman could steal the show if he is the final boss which he should be. Mecha Flames of Disaster Monster... Yeah.
Also, not all the things that appeared in Shadow (it was mentioned earlier) Ignoring art design etc. The only things I've noticed is destructable environments and that car Shadow drove in the trailer.
I'm not sure whether to trust the article much. The perosn who wrote it seemed not to know an awful lot about Sonic.
But if that were true, then it probably means that the author has become impressed by the game. Tentatively, it would impress the casual player which, in my opinion, is a really good thing, Dirk.
Man, I wish SEGA would show the other characters already. I curious of how they are going to fit in this more realistic game.Most curious is how Tails going to fly.In the previous games Tails'tails were desing to spin like a single helicopter blades but I wonder if in this game his tails are going to spin as dual helicopter blades or single blades?
according to TSS, in the latest issue of the Japanese magazine, Famitsu, Sonic The Hedgehog director Masato Nakamura is quoted saying that the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions may have a few unique differences as you go along in the game. as to what kind of differences has yet to be announced.
if anyone has the issue please scan and post it.
I just wonder if it is just Online stuff. Apparently every single Xbox 360 game has to Live enabled in some way (Online Play, Downloadable stuff etc.).
Of course with the Power of Playstation 4D Gaming Live it should be the same. (Kuturagi is a legend *bows*)
I don't think it would be anything major like *LIVE NUDE EGGMAN* for PS3 Edition or anything like that. I just think there will be promo art to buy with the rings. And as you go through the game instead of Sonic Art 3 being unlocked when you complete *Generic Factory Level* You'll get Silver Art 3. Something like that...maybe
Maybe the PS3 version will have different enemies and power up locations than the X-Box 360 version.
Yeah, I highly doubt that. Power ups very, very, VERY big maybe. Different enemies, I don't think SEGA would go through the trouble of making system-specific foes.
I don't know about that. I can see the PS3 version having more Crab-like robots than the X360 version. 😉
Giant enemy crab robots, from ancient Japan.
Flip it over and strike it's weak underbelly to deal MASSIVE damage?
OH NO ITS THE GOLD TURTLES ALL OVER AGAIN!
Team blast it!
Oops! Wrong game! ^__^;
Happy 3K.
And the best way to attack its underbelly is to scream "RIIIIIIIIIIDGE RACERRRRRRRR!" when you attack it. Microphones are included to allow you to attempt this.
And if you get hit, you lose 599 rings.
You guys lost me at Ridge Racer. =/
