I'll be back at 9:55 lol

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Really sad they burned the name Sonic 4 on that shite.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Honestly, the last couple of years have been rough for the Sonic franchise. Both Lost World and Sonic Boom have received a lot of negative reactions. Distancing future Sonic games from any hint of Nintendo exclusivity will only help to repair the damage wrought and restore the reputation of Sega as whole.

Well, I never said anything about exclusivity.

And having Sonic games skip Nintendo's future platforms would do absolutely nothing to repair Sonic's image. That's silly.

 

[OfTheOverflow]

Holy shit that was killer. Very keen! Love the music particularly!

 

[Mariolee]

The stream schedule pic someone posted in the main thread seemed to imply two big game announcements, one early on, and one later in the show.

Unless the second big anouncement is the reveal of the movie.

 

[Anth0ny]

Sonic 4 is finally real

IM SO HAPPY

 

[Escalario]

That literally confirms it will only be for NX Nintendo-wise and not WiiU or 3DS. It's against NDA to mention NX in trailers before reveal.

Then why did Ubisoft mention Just Dance coming to NX? Why did Hori mentioned Dragon Quest X and XI coming to NX? People should stop being deluded and accept that this (and almost assuredly the next 3D Sonic game) will not come to Nintendo consoles.

 

[Opa-Pa]

Man now I'm dreaming with a retail version with cover art that resembles a Genesis box. I want this game to be special.

 

[Kinsei]

Unless the second big anouncement is the reveal of the movie.

That would suck.

 

[DooMAGE]

Remember the Sonic 4 hype? Yeah ... Be aware guys.

 

[KingBroly]

Really sad they burned the name Sonic 4 on that shite.

Could've called it NEW Sonic the Hedgehog

but it's not all new

 

[Retro_Stew]

It's a fucking dream come true. I have no words

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

That shit clean as hell

 

[SatoAilDarko]

What was the last new Sonic game not to have a Nintendo version?

Sonic 06?

 

[valkillmore]

hot eats

 

[Seven Force]

I mean, just look at Lost World, the Boom games, or the shitty Racing All-Stars port on 3DS. At least this game will be a good effort since it's not actually made by Sega, so I'll get it on sale for PC.

Neither were two of the games you posted as an example there, genius.

NX was never mentioned in any official trailers for those games.

The NX reveal is really close. Maybe Nintendo will showcase this game at their event? Who knows. But there's almost no way future Sonic games are skipping Nintendo platforms.

 

[Yukinari]

Sonic 4 always looked amateur the moment they showed off real gameplay of it and it only got marginally better in Episode 2. This game completely shits all over it and its a shame that Sega wasted the name already.

 

[plutoknight]

Remember the Sonic 4 hype? Yeah ... Be aware guys.

There was Sonic 4 hype?

I remember people griping about that game from Day 1, saying "the physics look off!" and "that running animation looks terrible!"

But maybe I'm misremembering lol.

 

[Smooth Operator]

Remember the Sonic 4 hype? Yeah ... Be aware guys.

Not the same situation at all.

 

[Hatty]

Seems cool, I was wondering when Sega would pull a Mega Man 9

 

[Kintor]

lol, for all 20 people who bought one?

A fair point... *Glances at PAL copy of Knuckles Chaotix.*

In that case I suppose Sega could always do something similiar to Virtua Racing and load the Sonic Mania cartridge with extra chips. That would getting Sonic Mania working on a normal Mega Drive.

 

[Huge Succeeded]

Remember the Sonic 4 hype? Yeah ... Be aware guys.

Remember when they got the guy who nailed Sonic's music to compose Sonic 4's music?

Remember when they got the guy who nailed Sonic's physics and gameplay mechanics to handle Sonic 4's physics and gameplay mechanics?

because I don't

 

[sixteen-bit]

Hm. Not speculating, but is the opening frame from that (presumed) title screen a nod to the MD/Genesis 1 power light?

looks like it

 

[_Ryo_]

Can't watch videos. Any screen shots?

Also weird it's not on 3DS (or vita) considering it is a sprite based 2D game.

I don't think you're on the right track there.

 

[Opa-Pa]

I'd have to look extremely uninteresting with a really generic 3D style to be called New Sonic tho.

This game is a bunch of remixed stages btw.
Most of the ppl on this project are from emulation scene

 

[Mister Wolf]

I cant lie watching the trailer gave me feels. Took me back to when my pops bought me a genesis with sonic 2 for my birthday.

 

[Neoxon]

Then why did Ubisoft mention Just Dance coming to NX? Why did Square Enix mentioned Dragon Quest X and XI coming to NX? People should stop being deluded and accept that this (and almost assuredly the next 3D Sonic game) will not come to Nintendo consoles.

To be fair, Square Enix immediately back-tracked on their announcement, & that one indie game trailer removed NX from their trailer soon after they first uploaded it.

Either way you slice it, most of Sonic's fanbase exist on Nintendo systems (the fact that All-Stars Racing Transformed sold the most on the Wii U should tell you that), so it'd be dumb for Sega to skip out on the NX.

...joke post?

 

[Jarod McChicken]

What was the last new Sonic game not to have a Nintendo version?

Sonic 06?

Sonic Generations, no ?

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Sonic Generations, no ?

3DS?

 

[Kinsei]

Sonic Generations, no ?

There's a terrible 3DS version of Generations.

 

[Sandfox]

Sonic Generations, no ?

There was a 3DS version of Generation.

 

[Chakan]

This looks so good. My god.

They even used the character artworks from 1994.

Day 1.

 

[Neoxon]

Sonic Generations, no ?

Sonic Generations had a 3DS version.

 

[blanco21]

that cyber track from sonic advance 2, in all its flat glory:

please don't be rehash bullshit :\

 

[Maedhros]

NO, it's NOT. There's ONE re-imagined stage in this and one new one (in the Demo).

They even said on the stream that the game would have lots of new stages...

They skipped Wii for Generations, which a lot of a people chastised them for.

 

[Cbajd5]

it's gotta come to the nx for one reason

Spoiler

classic sonic amiibo

 

[Opa-Pa]

Sonic Generations, no ?

They made a portable version exclusively for 3DS.

 

[gwiz210]

Anyone else catch the Daytona USA reference in the trailer?

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Sonic Generations, no ?

There was a 3DS version. There would have assuredly been a console version if the Wii U had been out at that time.

 

[Escalario]

There's a terrible 3DS version of Generations.

3DS version has Mushroom Hill Zone, so it's the best by default.

 

[Neoxon]

They skipped Wii for Generations, which a lot of a people chastised them for.

But a Nintendo system still got Generations (the 3DS).

Besides, didn't Sonic's Amiibo sell really well in the States?

 

[KingBroly]

I'd have to look extremely uninteresting with a really generic 3D style to be called New Sonic tho.

Sonic 4 was already that, though.


What sucks the most about Sonic 4 is that because that sucked so bad you couldn't call this Sonic 5.

 

[OverdriveOtaku]

While I am a fan of a good chunk of the 3D Sonic games out there, I still have tons of love for most of the 2D stuff and I am hyped for this. Trailer is fucking amazing, and looks like it's in some caring hands. Can't wait until Spring to try it!

 

[Daingurse]

This looked pretty cool.

 

[DooMAGE]

NO, it's NOT. There's ONE re-imagined stage in this and one new one (in the Demo).

It's not a bad thing bring some remixed stages, sadly the physics looks off from the classic sonic games. Hope the emulation guys working in this project will nail the physics
