No, I mean no switching between 2D and 3D mid gameplay. Just 3D style platforming. No sidescrolling.
New Sonic game rumored to be unviled in February for almost every platform

I'd certainly like to have both instead of just Modern. They should give Classic his own new game. None of that boost and homing attack they had him going gaga over in Generations.

One thing I hope is that the lessons of Generations' level design are taken into account. It was probably the first time the 3D levels actually felt properly layered vertically, instead of just nothing but singular tracks with tiny side-branches suspended over pits, Colors maybe excluded. I remember going through Sky Sanctuary the first time and thinking, "They've finally figured it out."
The only 2006-introduced characters of note are Silver and Mephiles, and it's pretty clear we're stuck with Silver at least showing up now and then.

Same here, whether or not they make sense I can say without a doubt that Iizuka always makes interviews interesting. BRING THEM ON!

Just what I thought when I played through it for the first time recently... It was almost a modern 3D version of S3&K levels. Almost.

I think Sonic gets harped on too much at times. Generations on PC was amazing to me.

But they aren't going to this. How many years have you guys been saying the same thing? Don't get me wrong, as a DMC fan I've been going through the same crisis of conciousness but the fact remains that at this point sonic has been "modern" for way more than he was ever classic.
I think at this point only thing Sega could do that would please you guys is make a sonic version of LBP and just leave you guys to it. But a classic sonic game is just not going to happen. You guys just need to let it go.

Agreed. I think what they are doing is just fucking fine. Generations looked a little crap on consoles but was amazing with SMAA and 1080p/60fps on PC. Not sure how people as Sonic fans could dislike it....
well YOU have weird opinions on sonic games
Said the guy who has weird opinions on Sonic games.

Something something rolling physics...
Seriously Sega just need to give these guys a way to create their own legit sonic games to distribute amongst themselves. The talent who made the classics have moved on and the main audience for sonic games is largely ambivent/uninterested.
It's time to stop crying in your beers and moving on. The only way you are going to to get genesis era physics, music, art and level design is if you make it yourself. Let Sega do what's turning them a profit.

After how awesome Generations was, I'm definitely up for the next Sonic game. I just hope they don't regress.

I find Generations physics to be damn close to the Genesis games.
This isn't Sonic 4.
They have Sonic Generations to work from... it'd be easy. I think the concept of this game sounds great; what I've been asking for from 3D Sonic for a long time, but I'd like some Classic Sonic love again some day, too. I don't think it's unreasonable to want both and not in the underhanded Sonic 4 way.
We don't want remakes of the classic games, we don't want an Sonic version of LBP, we just want a new Classic game.
I hope this rumor turns out to be true because I've been wanting Sonic 3 style gameplay in 3D for a long time.
The rolling physics are just as bad in Generations. Sonic slows down when you roll and the spindash is way overpowered.

That's blasphemy round certain parts.
Sonic 3&K ended up just fine.
All of the boss battles except the last one sucked in Colors, and the only good bosses in Generations where Metal and Death Egg Robot. They really need to step up their game.
The optional playable characters are optional.
...because I didn't mind the 2D segments in Colors/Generations? Wow, okay.
I'm not the one who thinks Sonic 06 is seriously a better game than Unleashed/Colors/Modern Generations/Sonic 4 (as awful as that game was).
Speaking of that I want hyper sonic/knuckles and super tails to make their return. Just standing around while the birds did everything was so amusing lol.
Super flickies! That was the best super form for that reason alone.

Has a game ever been released for eight different systems at once?

But you aren't going to get it. You know it deep down but you guys still persist in coming into each thread about sonic games saying the same stuff.
It guaranteed that this new game will have a bunch of stuff you don't like. Even thinking that it wil be like sonic 3 in 3D is just setting yourself up for disappointment.
I know it's just a rumour, but if this game is true you need to temper your expectations accordingly. The last few sonic games have had nothing to do with Sega misleading anyone but rather you guys getting overexcited and delusional every time a new sonic title is announced. That's the real reason the modern games piss you off so much because you are always expecting something that was implied never directly stated.
All you know is that their may be a new sonic game coming out. Forget anything about a classic style or borrowing from classic games. It will use the modern model and be on the hedgehog engine. There is no point in watching every video and complaining that your dreams have been dashed yet again. Accept this game for what it is and not what you want it to be a who knows, you may enjoy it.
Hell no. It was insanely op and the power was too passive.
Are you seriously complaining that a super form is OP?
Super Sonic was OP to begin with

The only reason 2D/3D side scrolling was done was to appease those retro tards who kept complaining that Sonic only needs to be in 2D and to the other side of the fan base that liked 3D sonic. So Sega met in the middle.

You gotta love Sonic physics videos lol.
Anyway I was always aware of how Generations handled in comparison to the originals, but it just feels like they are balanced differently. To me it's different, but it feels just as fun. I can confidently dance through the level like in the old way (unlike Sonic 4)
I like that the spindash was "overpowered", it's more of an instantaneous burst to get going. Must the goal of Sonic be to emulate the originals exactly?
But yeah I'd like to be able to spin and not slow down. Rolling through the levels was my fave Sonic 3 pastime...
He earned it after getting nothing for collecting the regular emeralds in sonic 2 and the original sonic 3 and then having to go for the super emeralds lol.
I only brought up wanting a new classic game because you decided to generalize classic fans. It has nothing to do with me wanting a classic Sonic and I wish you'd just deal with Anth0ny instead of dragging classic fans down with him. I think this game sounds good and if it's anything like Colors and Generations I will enjoy it.
It's more that it was passive. At least Hyper Sonic got a double jump. Tails' flickies were boring.

Sega has been on a roll with Sonic ever since they realized they don't have to make his games some giant Final Fantasy-esque epic or needing fifty playstyles to make them work. Just simple but challenging gameplay backed up with level design that doesn't consist of giant pits suspended in space

which is dumb because noone wanted weird shitty 2d sonic physics
they got it perfect with generations
and if this rumor is true it looks like they're moving away from that... shame.

The new Sonic is going to be unviled on almost every platform or reviled?
This sounds more like Sonic 3 & Knuckles than Sonic Heroes. I don't see any of the team stuff mentioned
and wtf does Platinum have to do with Sonic?
It wasn't because "Sonic has to be 2D!!1" It's because they can do tighter precision high-speed platforming in 2D sections than in 3D.
They make great games, even out of franchises that have been milked to death (MGS)
They make stylish high action brawlers/shooters...
When did they do that? because of the story in Adventure? have you even played a FF game?
What sega did is just stop trying to move to 3D and go back to 2D with some 2.5D sections.
If the rest of the industry were like that GTAV would still be top-down.

There like the new Retro Studios, just randomly shout them out to reboot every damn franchise
