Okay, after waiting 3 hours to download it, and then watching the video, I think that this game will own. Despite the skippiness of the video (most likely my computer's fault), that video was cool, and I see promise in this thing.
Speed? Check.
Beautiful invironments? Check.
Huge, Nonlinear level? Check.
Huge attention to Sonic's detail? Check.
Detail of the invironment? Needs some work.
Cool enemies? Check.
Being able to kick those enemies in to obsticles? Check.
Time of day change? Check.
Japanese Narrator? Burn it. 😛
This thing looks beautiful and Sonic's character model is seriously updated, but, as Green Gibbon has said, it just seems like a prettier Sonic Adventure, and we'll need more than that for this game to work.
and there shall be more. tis only in it's very early stage, this game. we've only seen a fraction of what is to come. maybe not anything at all since Naka cautioned that things may change.
no. it just sounds like you're a hardcore fan. 
so here *reaches inside his pocket* have one of my linty cookies.

Yep, I'm a hardcore Sonic fan, that I am, and thanks for the cookie but I, uh, that's okay though I pass.
*Takes and eats Super Razyor's Cookie*
What? I'm not letting it go to waste.
lol
Updated. 8 new pics for anyone who HASN'T seen that E3 trailer a bazillion times to drool over. Have fun.
Whats up with line down the middle of super sonic's nose? A bad texture in a nextgen game!?
I noticed that. Like Cyc or whoever said, the textures seem less than par for a next-gen game, but this is just the beginning. The final product may be vastly improved.
Looks like a reflection, to me.
Unless you mean his eyebrows. Because those are his eyebrows.
No, the grey line down the middle of his nose. Which shouldn't be there.
Sonic Central now has a small blurb page up that houses all the pictures the japanese site has. What interests me is that it states the game will feature "a deeper storyline than ever before". I wonder if that'll be true or just promotional BS.
It's enough to get me excited.
INNUENDO
Ditto. This Sonic game is already sounding brilliant, the "deeper" storyline means there's almost cerainly more characters than Sonic and Eggman featuring. However, it doesn't mean they'll be playable...
Deeper Storyline? Twitches nervously.
Just seen the gameplay trailer. I have to say It did remind me of a cross between Windy Valley and Green Forest. I didnt like the whole rope balance part. Despite him moving forward he didn't fall. Hmmm. It does look nice enough really.
So, this game will be Deeper, Faster, and Harder?
And now I flee...
I think this is more Harley's territory.

Why? All I said was that , being on new more powerful hardware, everything will be so much faster. We have also been promised a depth never seen before, and with all this, no doubt it will be harder than ever.
It should look prettier too.

Man, I wish they would hurry and announce that is game will or will not be on the Revolution. It may sound silly but this game will decide which of the next gen consoles I get.
Sega has yet to announce any Revolution games, and it doesn't look like that's going to change until after Nintendo makes a full unveiling; they've shown the system and the controller, but there are still things Nintendo has hidden.
They're being ultra stingy with the non-disclosure aggrements, and the most anyone has announced are some game titles, but no screenshots, videos, or even the smallest game details. So if they confirmed the Revolution was getting the same game as the PS3 and Xbox360, then they couldn't show anything of either version. Now take your pick: verification of the Revolution version, or screenshots and videos.
Peter Jackson's King Kong is a Revolution game, and they're hyping THAT game to the max, complete with screens, videos, a demo of the PC version, memorabilia (I saw one GameStop manager with a King Kong totebag/purse thing, for cryin' out loud)... so I don't think that's a valid reason. Nice theory, though.

I pick verification of the Revo version, thank you. Screenshots and videos would be no different.
Curse you, Peter Jackson! Foiled again!
I really hope this game is for Revolution. Nintendo is where I play my Sonic games today, among others.
The fact that this game may not be on the revolution or what ever Nintendo decides to name it kind of kills the joy for me. As awesome as this game will probably be (in comparison to previous Sonic games, at least) it is completely unfair to those of us who have stood behind Sega and moved to Nintendo and there systems.
Example, since my PS2 broke, I traded in all my games and bought a DS, the Nintendo system. Even without Sonic games, I prefer a DS anyday to the PSP, which may as well be a palm pilot!
Back on topic. My slow dial-up machine is trying to download a trailer, so i still haven't seen the game in motion. I, however, won't let my hopes get up as I thought SA2 was great and I was trapped within the horrid hyping of Heroes that occured right here on the Mofo... (Young and dumb or overly optimistic?)
If this game is ever announced on the Revolution I have a question. Which system has better graphics PS3 or Nintendo Revolution?
PS3. The Revolution will be less powerful than the Xbox 360 and the PS3, but technical horsepower isn't what the Revolution is really going to be about.
Nintendo is apparently all about coming up with unique and untraditional platform for game makers and gamers to work with. Have you seen the Revolution controller? It litterally looks like a TV remote! I'll look for a picture.
So what's the rumored release date?
Fall 06 maybe? I can't remember but i'm sure there is one.

If you are talking about Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 then most likely it will be June 23 of this year since that's his 15th Anniversary date.
If you are talking about the Rev, then go to the link that Turtle Guy linked to.
"If this game is ever announced on the Revolution I have a question. Which system has better graphics PS3 or Nintendo Revolution?"
There may not be a graphical difference between the consoles in regards to this game, anyway. There's not much difference between the Xbox and GCN versions of Heroes and Shadow, though PS2 has moderately less impressive visuals. There might be a similar thing with PS3, 360 and Rev (this time with Nintendo's machine trailing behind), but I'm doubting it, myself. Expecting it to look identical on all three machines.
edit2: dunno how i missed buzz's post 😡 *remove*
I wonder what the plot is?
Spoilers (Select To Read): Eggman: Muhahaha! I have created the ultimate weapon. I will conquer the world surely this time! But I need the Chaos Emeralds. I know I will capture Sonic's little friends and put them into robots to find them. Muhahaha!
Sonic: No way I'm letting that happen!
Shadow: Me neither *BANG* *THUD*
Sonic *With hand gun*: He should'nt have left this lying around. Now...Anyone else want to really annoy me?
Knuckles: Angel Island?
Rouge: Angel Island.
Tails: YAY, I'll actually have a reasonable amount of time to build stuff.
Amy: *swoon* Wow, he looks so buff with that gun!
Omega: Was that the original? Good. Its all coming together! *Close up on eyes*
Cream: OH MY GOODNESS! MY CHAO GARDEN.
Espio: Woah, didn't expect that.
Vector: FIND THE COMPUTER ROOM!
Charmy: zomg! lol!
Blaze: I'm not meant to be here really I suppose.
Jet: Do we even like these guys?
Wave: No, I suppose not
Storm: Lets go XTREME RIDIN'
Big: I'm not even going to dignify all this with a comment. But still...
Sonic: Good.

LOL and XD!
Nice one, Taylor.
Anyone find anyhting saying Tials or Eggman or ANYONE but Sonic and robots here? I'm sure Eggman will still be there if this is gonna take Sonic games "closer to their roots" or whatnot. Anyway, Tails? Knux? GUN? Plot?
And as for Sonic having a gun? "Personally, I wouldn't be caught dead using those things!" First level, Shadow the Hedgehog.
The only thing that so much as hints at characters other than Sonic appearing is something Naka{i think} said in some interview I forgot about. Paraphrased:
"People are going to be asking things like, "Where's Tails?" and, "Where's Knuckles" if we don't include them, and I don't want that."

I know but still...If you had one shot? would you take it? His arms are sweaty...
I think Naka said that Sonic '06 was going to be a Sonic only affair really. So there might be the Adventure characters in the story and there might be extra missions from:
Tails: Find Me at the highest part of the level.
Knuckles: Seesh this is embrassing! Find the Master Emerald Shards
Cream: I lost Cheese. Can you find him Mr. Sonic?
Amy: Run from her.
Rouge: Night time level
Espio: Use stealth to complete the level
Vector: *You know where this is going* There is a Computer room in every level. FIND THE COMPUTER ROOM.
Big: Catch a fish.
and so on...maybe. Hopefully not really.
Yeah,the characters will probably be in the story, but not playable, kinda like Amy was in SA2.I hope, as well as having new locations, they at least revisit Angel Island, instead of more "Hey Sonic, it's me, Knuckles, and I'm going to run around with you on an adventure completley disregarding my lifelong committment to the Master emerald" malarkey.
The idea of rendering an Angel Island level from older games would be a treat as far as I'm concerned.
Or maybe... ANOTHER GREEN HILL! Making it, what? The fifth incarnation? (S1, SA1 reward for getting everything, Battle as an easter egg, and rendered as Sunset Hill in Sadv3... It's popular enough.
)
Wasn't Green hill in Sonic on the game gear, and there's been a level called Green HillS...
And it was SA2 that gave you the green hill Zone, SA1 gave you... nothing
Who said it was the better dreamcast game

Or even better the characters can be playable once you collect a certain amount of Sonic Emblems. As for Sonic having a gun, I think the only gun he should have is the Omochao gun. XD XD
I just played SA2 no less than ten minutes ago and oh how nice an omochao gun would be... (Although it was funny to see the Biolizard nail him... In Japanese.)
I just realized that this may end up being a remake of S1 on the Genesis. Although it seems unlikely (unless the levels are all really long), and we see Sonic become super, which wasn't possible in the first game since there were only 6 emeralds.
Hmmm... Food for thought...
Sorry if this has already been said but I think Naoto Oshima should return for this game.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it was said that Oshima was collaborating with the creation of this or something..
He was mentioned in an interview or something but it wasn't phrased perfectly. Read the first few tens of posts in the topic...it should be in there somewhere.
ed: its on the first post, infact
