Holy moley, Planet Wisp looks abso-freakin'-lutely gorgeous. I can't wait to hear how they remix the music for it.

^Don't get your hopes up. Only characters who actually appeared in the classic games will have classic versions of themselves. I don't even think Knuckles has one, so it's probably only Sonic and Tails.
Oh, I don't hope for it at all. I'd just be very amused if they did it. For the lulz.
-
Holy crap, my eyes just melted at how gorgeous Planet Wisp looks.
I'm guessing this version of the level might come from the HD version of Sonic Colors that never took off…
-
I meant in Generations.
Oh sorry I thought you meant like he wasn't in the classic games
-
I don't think the Ark looks like the Ark. When I first saw it, my first thought was Starlight Carnival.

Sky Sanctuary:
-
Oh god <3 I love it. I need this game like right now D:!
-
@Geuta: meh, i still prefer the first cover.
that second one sounds a little…all over the place. can't really describe it.
it's also way more clunky and changed too much in backing structure.
without the guitar sound that beat would have been difficult to recognise.
the only thing i'd say i liked better in the second one was the cleaner sound the guitar made.the first one is easier on my ears and honestly fits the source material better IMO.

Wow I never really cared for Sky Sanctuary's theme before but that's some beautiful music right there.

German game site plays generations for almost a half hour. Sky Sanctuary, hub area & Metal Sonic!

I always thought the chili dogs thing was US only…
-
It's also always been far more popular in the west though. The american cartoons and the uk comics/books set this back in the early nineties, so it's another thing that's gone back the other way, like the name Robotnik.
-
Yeah, I lost my mind when Sonic Adventure 2 came out and in the background of the moon blasting CG cutscene it says "Robotnik Empire" instead of "eggman". I seriously doubt Team Sonic would have re-rendered the scene just to include his English name.
-
I'm kind of surprised they haven't just grabbed three characters from the american comic and three characters from the european comic and throw throw them into the continuity officially and be done with it. (By pretty much all accounts the European comic is far superior, but I've never had chance to read it.)
I'm honestly amazed that Archie hasn't found some excuse somewhere along the way to phase out the SATam characters over the last ~200 issues. The show ended in what, 94? That's 17 years those characters have persisted only in the comic, despite the influx of the anime and games adding dozens of other characters. I know Princess Sally was a fan favorite and all, but is that cast really strong enough to justify forcing them along for 2 decades?
Sure its too late for Archie to ditch them now, and they surely never had any idea Sonic would last this long as a profitable license, but still… But that given, its kind of weird that Sega never latched onto making use of some characters that are apparently perpetually popular, even without the games behind them.

As is, it was weird enough when Adventure 1 came out and they randomly switched to eggman to begin with… presumably because there were a couple puzzles with that ingrained into them. They still worked around it and had "robotnick" appear as a name and said Eggman was a nickname... but it was still a weird transition that doesn't feel right, even now.

The game does look pretty solid. As I don't have a PS360 I'll get the 3DS version and the inevitable Wii U version a year from now. If it's any good. I just wish 3D Sonic didn't barrel through everything so fast. I liked in SA2 how you need to jump or homing attack to destroy an enemy, the way you connected from one enemy to another felt really good to. Now all you gotta do is speed blitz everything that doesn't fly. I had the speed boost button, I wish it was just took more to build it up.
-
35 days 'til its released! CAN'T WAIT!!!

Naughty naughty. That's fanart (the file name threw me off. Being from DevArt didn't ring any bells cuz I know people use it as a photobucket all the time)
-
Dreamcast era stages. -
Speed Highway looks very pretty. Shadow's intro here resembles SA2's intro. I thought that was kind of neat.

Saw that last night. It looks fantastic. Too bad it's fan art, I'd love for the cutscenes to look like that or maybe a short like Night of the Werehog.

Yeah I remember that, and I am totally betting on a Wii U version.

I already posted the video of it :X
Also the stage were the rival battle happens is the last stage in SA2

Screenshots of a Boss fight, Planet Wisp and a cool Sonic looking into classic Sonic.
-
Are you sure the Shadow Stage is not a Shadow the Hedgehog reference? I mean, I doubt it, but didn't that game use the same assets?
-
Dunno really.
-
This is the Ark, like where the final battle and stages of SA2 took place. Shadow The Hedgehog had some Ark stages, too.

Grey soles…really, that's what he's butthurt over?
Also, does he even know what hentai means?

He's just trolling, guys.

He should dramatically read some of the rants in this topic.

It's hard to tell with this fandom sometimes…

Both look pretty nice. Speed Highway has some cool signs, like Chao in Space, a Chao nightclub, Miles Garage and Club Vector.
-
wait i thought the 3ds one wasn't going to do the adventure series?
-
I thought so too, but it looks like it has emerald coast as well. I'm kinda worried because I don't know how many spots are left, if any, for the handheld levels.
-
There's 2 levels left, but the English site had 8 spots in the level list, so the final boss might have a Canons Core type part.
-
so wait is the 3ds one doing the rush games? the fact it's got adventure probably means they're not doing advance series but is rush still being done?
-
Modern Era Trailer:
Music is great. I hate what they've done with Chaos, though.
-
So we've got Wisps to use, eh? Classic Sonic uses them too, it seems.
-
Man, it's nice to appreciate Sonic Unleashed stages without having to play Sonic Unleashed.
What game is that busted city from? Sonic 06? Visually, it's a very interesting change of pace.
-
Crisis City remix is win!
-
what's up with chaos at the end there? shouldn't he be made of water?
-
I really hope the boss battle against Chaos has 'Open Your Heart' playing the background.
-
Needs a Super Sonic Racing remix in there somewhere.
-
@RobbyBevard:

You’ll have fun recognising all the remixed tunes in the mission stages - I won’t spoil any (save for Super Sonic Racing), but their scope goes beyond the original stage in which they represent.
-

There'd be no point otherwise.
-
There'd be no poibt otherwise.
Seriously. Fuck Chaos. The only reason I like Chaos OR Sonic Adventure 1 is because of 'Open Your Heart'. I'll admit to liking SA2, though.

As an alien looking being made of pure water, Chaos was pretty awesome! But that short clip of him looked like it took away the coolest thing about him.

Mushroom Hill and Casino Night? Since when were tho…
Oh, right. The 3DS version. Whelp, guess I wont be playing that one. Tho Mushroom Hill looks pretty good. WHy does Sonic 3 get no love? Icecap zone would be great.
Clearly they just need to flat out remake the first four games with new graphics. (though I could live without Sandopolis and the ghosts... and a bubble shield in part 1 would make certain levels so, so much more tolerable...)
