You all know what happens whenever a new Sonic game is announced.
Does not fly. If Mega Man 9 looked like a dolled up Mega Man 8 (but in HD omg), I wouldn't have given a shit. Looking like the old games got my attention. (and Mega Man 8 was terrible).Originally Posted by Yoshi

Biscuits and gravy, Yoshi. There's better foods, certainly. On Paper.

This thread? Doing doughnuts in the parking lot.

Where is the evidence that it will? Existing 2d games sell like ass compared to the big names, few of which are anywhere near 2d, HD with insane artwork or not.
Clearly the major devs don't think they will sell that well. We'd like to think that a true over the top intense sequel to say SotN would sell like wild fire but the reality is that it probably wouldn't. Perhaps if they release these simple Gradius Rebirth type games and see enough interest they will come along and make the types of games you're (we're) wanting them to.
Unfortunately joe six pack who thinks GTA, Madden, and Halo to be the end all of gaming or Grandma who wants WiiFit for her chubby grandkid rule the industry. When the next Ikaruga outsells the Sims or Rockband get back to me on this.
We should consider ourselves lucky to get another Sonic in 2d, sure it's a shitty attitude but thems the breaks and you know it. Search deep inside yourself, you know it to be true.

So, why don't they pull the 'old cop' routine? Game starts with sonic holed up in a weekly hotel, drunk and unshaven, all his friends have abounded him, and Eggman has taken over large blocks of the city.
Then, something goes awry and the dead animals Eggman's killed start to come back to life and even he gets worried. So, Tails breaks away from the friends and visits Sonic to convince him to save the day!
Now Sonic and Tails are back at it alone with Eggman AND zombies to rid the land of!!

What's wrong with Dimps? The speed segments in Sonic Unleashed on the PS2/Wii build were a lot of fun, and the first Sonic Rush was great (Never played the second one).
Also, I'm interested, but afarid to be excited about this.

Considering the last game that would fit my criteria of being a major franchise and actually utilizing real hardware was Symphony of the Night, I'd say that's your proof. It's inexplicable that it has been that long though.
The publishers have no clue what will sell beyond a dozen or so sure things. They prove that 1,000 times every year.
The speed bits of Unleashed were not great, they were a parody of what good Sonic was supposed to be. They were the 3D equivelent of Sonic Advance 2, a shallow "hold up to win" thing that felt more like F-Zero than a platformer.
Sonic Rush Adventure was pretty great though.
Same here. The last one I played was Sonic Adventure on the DC, (which oddly enough was released 10 years ago today) I haven't payed attention to a single sonic game since. =/
I'm interested in seeing Sonic in 2D again....but instead of setting myself up for disappointment, I'll forget about it and maybe it'll be a pleasant surprise.
spring up speed up
i could probably live without this game
As far as the whole low-res sprites versus high-res sprites things goes... I just don't know if I can give a shit. If the sprites are new, I'm good. Game can look gorgeous either way.
It seems way, way easier to fuck up an HD game and make it feel like a cheap flash project, though.
