open world might be kinda awesome done right. given what colors and generations were, i doubt they'll go that direction.

Sonic is more successful than a significant portion of Sony's first party titles.
So I guess kinda.

The only thing I can think of that might be semi open-world is if the world map is like a giant 'game-board, and you hop between levels on the world map (hexagon by hexagon) to make your progress to different story locations on the world. The hexagons are just regular levels and completing them makes that sector of the world 'complete'.
Based on the one screen we have and the sort of 'lost world' theme, and the weird hexagon thing going on, its just my personal guess of how it might be tackled. It would allow people to take different routes through completing the game and add replay value. I was thinking about it since each hexagon on the concept art piece has a different theme, and none of them are crossing over, and some seem to be islands.

REmake and RE0 never went multiplat, unless you count Wii.
Not true. It's US > EU (mostly UK at that) >>>> JP.

According to a few people, SEGA for a short time accidentally leaked some stuff on their Facebook page before quickly taking it down.
According to them, full details are supposed to come May 29th (as that was when the press release was dated) and these were some details:

I'm a huge advocate for open world Sonic, but there are definitely risks with Sega doing that. I really think they will stick close to their current design for now.
I wasn't saying anything about the game, it's really well made. I just don't like Sonic having a car.
Tomoya Ohtani has pretty much been in charge of the soundtracks since like Rush Adventure or Unleashed. Id be shocked if he wasnt in charge of this one.

Are the pics available somewhere?

A bit off topic, now that sega owns CoH, I think it can be a well suited game for the gamepad, in fact all strategy, RTS games are a good fit for the Wii U.
Pics or it didn't happen.
It's not a pre-Sonic announcement/exposure period without Sega spoiling themselves. :lol
We need pics.

there will be a demolition derby mode.

Most likely another Dimps atrocity is.
If that happened I'd think the pics would've already made their way here. Surely someone saved the pics if it actually happened.

This announcement just got me to buy a Wii U for sure. Impressive how hard Nintendo's backing these games; they must be impressed with SOMETHING. Minus the possibility of easy sales with the olympics game of course.

Yeah. I'd always said that the only way to get me to buy a Wii U is either through a Sonic or Zelda game, and alas...
I still want to wait, though.

You and me both brother. The more Sonic CD is this game the better.

Beef, I'm so sorry. 
At least you can throw them and kick them around if it's possible?
Though to be fair, after speedrunning through those three acts several times, I don't think it's that bad, but yeah... no Wacky Workbench, sweetheart.

As long as we don't get some Wacky Workbench level design, that'd be great.

Iwata did say we'd hear more about it before e3
in June though
Wacky Workbench strikes me as a level concept that'd be less infuriating in 3D than 2D.
In theory, youd have camera control to see wheres what, and being launched in the air is, forgive the worn out term, more 'visceral' in 3d than 2d.
I got Sonic CD (the little planet) and Sonic 3+K (the geometric/segmented shapes art direction for the actual planet and natural environments) vibes looking at the art. Could be something really nice looking if it all works out.

I actually liked that level being a change of pace. Consider me a heretic.

Dear Nintendo and SEGA, I hate you both.
And he also said multiple Nintendo Directs before E3, so I wouldn't be shocked if we get an other Direct in 12 days.
Sonic games do tend to sell better on Nintendo platforms.
Deal with it.
Deal with it.

Did anyone else like Generations 3DS better than the console version? The Modern Sonic sections in the console versions were awful. I don't mind Dimps.

That's a good point.
I do get the feeling that something like this:
...would work easier in 3D, partially because you wouldn't be able to pass through the platforms, right? It'd be easier to re-orient yourself too because, as you said, the camera would assist you in regaining your footing. I don't know if they'd be able to keep so many hazards around in 3D as well. It'd probably be easier to platform on some of the moving platforms as well since I get the feeling that they'd be bigger as well.
Dang, I love Sonic CD.
Hmm... I wonder what the special stages in this game will be like.
Only the final boss. The rest of it was inferior to the console version to me. Though to be fair... 6 months.
Wow
It's a really weak and lazy game. It can be fun, but then there's just laziness. Dreamcast era levels were terribad in Sonic Gen 3DS.

Didn't they mention that this was actually from the upcoming 2014 WiiU2-HD version?
You clearly aren't trying.
