Sonic Adventure 2 officially announced, leaking onto consoles this fall

Trailer was hilarious. I have fond memories of the game, but I doubt I'd like it now. Still might buy it anyway just for nostalgia's sake.

OK for those who like SA2. But why the fuck haven't you put S3+K on PSN, Sega?

Ya know I've been wondering about that too, have the same people who made the Sonic CD port work on it and release it already @_@
Maybe they're gonna surprise us with it's release by the end of the year~

The Sonic/Shadow gameplay is good, way better than SA1.

I went so Sonic Boom yesterday. For $20 dollars i got my moneys worth. Got a commemorative silver coin of chao, a sonic boom shirt, and that amazing sonic hat. There was free food for everyone (pizza, meatballs, burgers), and if you were over 21 then free alcohol drinks. There were 5 gaming stations where one could play the new Sonic racing game. Doors opened at 6 pm, and Cash Cash and Crush 40 played songs of sonic games. Then came Q&A with game developers, followed by a costume contest, followed by announcements.

Regarding the crowd. There were many underage kids, who came along with their parents. There were few adults. I had never seen such a crowd yelling for new sonic stuff. They went apeshit just for a freakin SA2 logo. They also know too much about the "timeline" of sonic games, that i was just creeped out. The amount of cosplaying was insane. Sonic fans are indeed crazy for sonic. There were people who were drawing sketches, and i just happened to be walking by them, and overhearing their conversations scared the shit outta me. So yeah, if you get a chance to go next year, it's a cool experience.
 
Didn't this come free with a PSO demo? Or was this the one that I got free from Sega Europe with a pair of Soap shoes?

You could also visit the community thread where normal people who happen to like Sonic games post >_>
 
There was a logo for something called "Sega Heritage" in that trailer.
Are Dreamcast games heritage now?

I don't understand anything in this video, and I loves SA2.
 
At first I thought Sonic fans were going that crazy over a teaser for a game that's already been out on multiple consoles, but then I realized that if Nintendo pulled the same reveal on Yoshi's Island for VC, people would go equally apeshit.

Yoshi's Island is one of the greatest games of all time and way better than SA2 so of course people would.

Did you really just compare SA2 to YI? I'm not even a big YI fan and I still know that's absurd.

An HD release of Yoshi's Island certainly would send me screaming, but its actually a good game that is still one of the best 2d platformers of all time and the only rerelease (GBA) was hampered by the resolution.

the GBA re-release of YI is so bad that there's garbage/glitchiness on the screen every time you enter a stage.
 
Does anyone remember the stages as Rouge/Knuckles in which you found the crystals? Truly a low point in the game, Bar giving us 'Pumpkin Hill'.

Yep, made me shelf the game for years.
It was only recently I mustered up the will to finish it up for the sake of finishing it.

Pumpkin Hill was awesome because it gave you a ton of space to explore (and had "awesome" music). Most of the other stages were too small (and the bad camera didn't help things) or were annoying to navigate.

This is Knuckles, and I'm back!
I been away for a while, but I'm back to kick some butt at Wild Canyon!
I shall find all the lost pieces of the Master Emerald here.
I'm gonna get those fools.
They wanna play with my Emeralds?!
They playing with the wrong guy!

Echidona, that's what I'm representing,
Never seen a mic-hog spit like a menace.
Wild Canyon fun? I gotta chase a bat, huh,
Yeah, Rouge, she's sexy and smooth!
A double cross spot-thief, that's out for my jewels,
I'm feelin' her in mysterious ways.
That's why I stay on point like every single day,
I gotta protect this place, I do it for my race, uh, uh.

Yeah, you know how it is,
Yo, yo,
Uh (uh),
Throw your hands up, come on, come on.

Ain't nobody gonna come here and eat my plate, no!
Yo what happened, my Emeralds' gone!
Somebody gonna get their's quick, my word sworn,
Who could'a did this, that stitch named Rouge!
When I catch her, Imm'a get her with these tools,
There you are, come here you little thief!
Think you gon' fly and get away quick? Uh, uh!
Give up the Emeralds or die, I don't love you!

Yeah, you know how it is,
Yo, yo,
Uh (uh),
Throw your hands up, come on, come on.

Nah, Pumpkin Hill sucked. It was a pain to climb all those mountains and navigate them just to find the crystals. Stages like Wild Canyon were more engrossing.

SA2 was a great game. Y'all be hatin'.

Here are the reasons that some of us may feel that Sonic Adventure 2 was shit:

-Its a glitchy mess, with falling-through-walls, homing-attacks-to-nowhere, framerate concerns, regular no-clipping, non-findable emeralds, instant deaths from minute water, boosts to oblivion, unresponsive controls and repeating juttery voiceovers.

-It has a completely purile script and horrendous voice acting. Its story takes the dignified simplicity of the classic Sonic games, and junks it in favour of unskippable drek cutscenes telling a nonsense story that Takashi Iizuka has shat out.

-Only a third of the game actually uses (tremendously shoddy) Sonic mechanics. The rest is dominated by repetitive clumsy shooting sections, and a purgatorial and faulty emerald hunting mini game that was designed by an incompetent.

-The least shit parts of the game advocate BOOST BOOST BOOST mechanics, devolving the franchise from multi-tier platformer to a superlinear homing-attack heavy "hold up and press boost" tour-de-force of mind-numbing boredom.

-The art style has aged badly. The music is (opinion) obnoxious and hugely annoying (/opinion). The levels are uninspired, hugely derivative of the first (and also crap) Sonic Adventure and completely uninteresting to plod through. The enemies are nothing more than floating homing platforms. The bosses are pathetically simple and bring nothing new to the table. Deaths are cheap and pointless.

-The characters are utterly, inanely annoying. The Rouge McBatTits is probably the prime example, but they are all irritants. The repeated soundbites of supposed hints are aggrivating.

-The whole thing builds to a tremendously unsatisfying conclusion, in which our annoying heroes must fight a space lizard for some reason, who was created by Doctor Robotnik's grandfather as revenge for the death of his daughter or something, before he was dragged away, chained, and executed by the United States government. The President is okay with his armed forces destroying an entire city killing thousands to try and hunt down Sonic, while Doctor Robotnik is allowed to do whatever the fuck he wants and consequently blows up the moon. Rogue McBatTits stalks Knuckles. Shadow, a pointless Poochie character, works with Sonic to defeat the Space Lizard and inexplicably dies. Robotnik, the once great 16 bit villain, stands with Tails. Tails says something like "we saved the world", and Robotnik responds with "and we did it by working together!", and at this point I feel the need to vomit.

So there you have it. Its okay for you to like the game, of course, your opinion is wonderful and so is mine. But for those that are hesitant to call this particular game a masterpiece, there is more to our perspective than mere "hatin". Thank you.

Sonic fans seem to drink the most kool-aid from their own franchise than any other fanbase. It kind of reaches creepy levels.

If you want to have a hilarious hour on the internet one day, go to Google Image Search and type in your first name and then "the Hedgehog" and see all the bad art that comes up.

For example: "Cole the Hedgehog":
