At least one person is stronger than Knuckles, and that's Big.
We know this because only one of the two can lift cars.
That was as of Sonic Adventure. Most of the newer games-even Sonic Heroes, which HAD Big- cite Knuckles as the resident muscleman, er, -echidna.:p
Besides, Knux isn't much of a lifter- he just swats 'em out of his way- see Sonic Riders if you don't believe me!
...then again, in Battle, he DID pull those huge-arse boulders outta nowhere... they GOTTA weigh more than a car...
Holy- it's the Revenge of Balloon Park!
IGN has two new movies up now. Be careful if you use Realplayer, because the movies have been freezing up the controls on my Realplayer and I don't know if it's my RP or a common problem for RP. Also, check out the news that John linked to in the Sonic Next-Gen thread.
Any way anyone could list the attacks we've seen so far?
I wonder why people dont seem to like the 3d side scrolling idea. the game that best used it's concept is undoubtably super smash brothers, and that's one of the most popular fan games out there. i dont see this sonic game being very interesting though, because in most side scrollers, it's more interesting to work your way through a level than just speed through it.
I like the 3D side scrolling concept, but i honestly dont think sonic game will really be popular with it unless the make a fixed camera from the side and give a full game like the older 2D sonic games. I'm sure though, because of the way sonic team does their 3D engine, that the controlls on a 3D side scroller would be horrific. not the basic controlls, but how the character handles.

Shadow flipped buses in Shadow. =O
And Knuckles lifts those huge arse boulders that undoubtably weigh as much as a bus in Battle.
A bit dissapointed that he looks like his original form rather than his Heroes form.
Agreed. And the thing is I think its Metal Sonic from Sonic Adventure 2. Which wasn't the best it could have been I feel.
But at least this game might establish some stability after all the time travelling and dimension hopping and getting sucked into a book recently.
I actually PREFER his original form. No kidding.
Also, anyone ELSE notice that this'll be THE FIRST TIME METAL SONIC WILL BE PLAYABLE AS PART OF THE STORYLINE OF A GAME? This is BIG.
Do we know that? He could just as easily be a bonus unlockable.
That would just stink.

Btw, Metal Sonic looks nice.. why does this have to come out for PSP? D:

Because the PSP needs some games that are ports. 
Also, welcome to the MoFo John W Echidna, I love the rabbid rabbit pic.

If by stability you mean Tails, Amy, and the Master Emerald getting turned into followed by some more inane card collecting...

Because it is too late to cancel it, so Sega is just going to have to accept the eventual bomb that this game will be.=D

Good Point.
Part of me is strangely attracted to this game because of Metal Sonic. Poor guy always gets lumbered with the gimmick games. Time Travel, Combi Rings, Running Races, The Super Awesome Power of Super Awesome Teamwork and now Yu Gi Oh!.
Oh yeah its just John Taylor on a funny alt. 2k post planned.
Man. I actually LIKED Heroes' dialogue...

Always pessimistic and never even cautiously optimistic when it comes to Sonic games are ya, Acid? Anyway, I figured you all would be thrilled to have him in his original form rather than his Heros, Pre-Metal Overlord form.
I believe I already mentioned I am.
They should throw in the metal Sonic from Sonic 2 just for the heck of it.
If Tails Doll was in this game I would actually consider buying a used PSP just for this game, since I don't know anyone who owns a PSP.
If they threw in Egg Robo, Mecha Knuckles, and Metal Knuckles,too , well, then it'd be more of a "Metal Sonic Rivals" then, eh?
Geez, Metal looks pretty bad@$$. Too bad i'm getitng a DSL. =P
I'm getting the game, but I'm gonna RENT the PSP. One game is NOT enough to get a system for.
^Then why bother buying the game instead of renting it along with the PSP(which is a system with plenty of good games anyway)?

Actually, I was refering to a realistic guess-timation of how many units this game will sell based on how other non-GTA PSP titles sell. The sales are usually not good--no matter how great the quality the game would be.
Sonic Rush as of the latest NPD moved around over 250,000 units and that is where most of the Sonic demographic is concentrated.
This is would be lucky to move 20,000 units by March 2007.
The PSP software sales are just that bad.
But now that you mentioned it, this game still wouldn't be worth the $40. Not even original Metal Sonic or pretty art direction couldn't save this game for looking like a snooze-fest.
P.S.: The only Sonic game I'm cautionally optimistic about is Sonic and the Secret Rings.
Because I'm going to buy every Sonic game some day... and Sega likes screwing with me about hardware choices.
Besides, Sonic Rivals is the only PSP game I find interesting. Period.

Does this mean you'll buy the overseas versions of the Sonic games also?

No love for Lumines, Every Extend Extra, Loco Roco, Exit, Daxter, Mega Man Powered Up, MMX: Irregular Hunter, Genesis Collection, or even Valkyrie Profile? How odd and sad.
Don't forget Ghosts & Goblins.

Ah, okay, my bad!
Quote:

Oh yeah, you can't really forget about that game, but it's a pretty hardcore one compared to the other examples I mentioned.
...which is probably why it's one of the bigger bombs.
Oh, crud! HOW CAN I FORGET THE MEGA MAN GAMES!
No, seriously, how COULD I forget them? I guess I might end up getting a PSP afterall.
And you have to remember: Despite the fact that I'm 21, I'm part of the PG-and-below audience. I RARELY go for PG-13 content. (exceptions: Jurassic Park series- and ONLY because of the dinosaurs (the third one stank, though), Star Wars Episode 3, because it's Star Wars.)
Blood and, umm... "reproductive relationships" both scare me. And I HEARTILY dislike swearing.
All the titles I've listed in my original post...well, maybe not Valkyrie Profile, fits in your criteria.
Seriously, do you really think something like this:
is full of swearing, sex, and violence?
AWWWW! The oranges are so cute! The title sound like an mob or something.
*SNIFF* I wanted to play that Hello Kitty game that on the Game Cube. And play that Mickey Mouse game with Donald Duck on the GBA. And tamagotchi on the DS.
Im 14 years old, What the heck do you expect? A Halo N0oB?

Um, "hardcore" as in gameplay. G&G is not for the easily frustrated.
And as Acid pointed out, the PSP library isn't entirely RATED M FOR MATURE.
I guess I'll take a look at them, then.

Is it weird that I laughed hysterically for like 5 minutes at that?
No. I have a tendency to unintentionally make people laugh.
This is from Sonic Cult.
Sonic Rivals
Didn't get to play too much of this one (95% also) but I enjoyed the few moments I got my hands on. The characters were Sonic, Shadow, Knux, and Silver, along with an unlockable (99% Metal Sonic, Heroes style). The loading screens are tips that give advice on using characters and avoiding enemies. The races were similar to how Saz described them at E3. The both of you run, try to jump on eachother or ***** smack in order to beat the other. The main menu gave for Time Trial or Story Mode. Boss stages are similar to Sonic Rush where the boss is in the middle of a circle and you and the opponent battle eachother to kill Robotnik first. Bosses were catagorized by difficulty, which give objectives to accomplish during the match. These involve number of rings at the end, number f times you smaked your opponent, and who hits Robotnik the most. Performing objectives (finishing stages, beating times, etc.) gives you unlockable cards of old artwork to collect. The one I saw was "Cream 2005" featuring the artwork of Sonic Rush containing cream. No clue if these serve a purpose other than looking at, or if they're tradeable. There's also Ad-Hoc multiplayer.

I only have two words to describe my feelings for this: @#%$ Yeah!
I whole-heartedly second that opinion... though maybe I'd use a BIT milder language.
Nice find. Also a hand on preview from Gamespot.

The cards you collect will let you equip different outfits and accessories on your racers, marking the first time it's possible for Sonic and the gang to not run in the nude.
LOL Sonic will finally wear pants.
I'd rather see sonic naked than wearing pants.

PSO outfits in SA2 multiplayer say that's false.
It has to be said. Its a nice site. Music sounds nice. And some of the little extras have made me interested in the game.
I'm surprised by the site promoting a Sonic and Silver rivalry more than Sonic and Shadow. It almost definatly doesn't mean anything but still its strange.
Sonic's profile says Tails and Amy have been turned into CARDS of all things. D:
And the Master Emerald as well? O_
Ok, this surely sounds weird.

| And Silver's story would make it look like the game is set after next-gen Sonic, since due to the time reset he would be stuck in the present looking for something he doesn't remember (Iblis Trigger, since it doesn't exist after the reset). Or perhaps Blaze? |
Hahah, woooow! That was a major surprise right there! But, I guess it wraps up the inconsistancies between Sonic Rush and Sonic '06, so I'm all for it.
Wait so you mean to tell me...
Spoilers (Select To Read): That Eggman eventually had sex with someone and somewhere along the line Nega was born?
