Nice to see Sega trying to change up the formula a little bit.

"Sonic Colors"?  Really, Sega, that's the best you could come up with?  Umm...Taste the Rainbow (TM) ?  :-\

Actually, all of a sudden I have an urge to quote Darkened Skye.  ;)

Super Sonic Galaxy I suppose. This isn't coming out for the other systems or did they get the "real" version but still wont be as good as the this version? Though PS360 Unleashes was better.

Was it?  I could have sworn I read that the Wii version has better level designs, though it does use waggle iirc so that does bring it down...

I'm not entirely sure, but from what my Sonic friends tell me there was much less warehog which instantly makes it better.

Here is a video of the colors game. Only the opening cinematic I suppose, looks nice, but so does every Sonic cgi video.

Doesn't seeing Tails fly by Sonic like that bring back great non-Sonic Heroes memories?

If there is 2 player co-op then man... I have no idea what I'm going to do if this turns out mediocre like the rest.

Every time Sega announces a new Sonic game it feels like I want nothing to do with someone and yet every so often they send me an email or a text message asking what I've been up to.  I never respond but they never take the hint.  Sonic is the clingy ex-girlfriend/boyfriend of videogames.

"Sonic Colors" is such a bizarre name.  It's like Sega is just pointing to random words in the dictionary.  "Okay in this next game Sonic will have special... colors?!  Uh, yeah sure!  Colors it is!"

I didn't know Sonic was a bigot.


They didn't even spell colour right.

I heard it had less Werehog levels and better daytime stages.

I just find it funny about the comments about the name.

You play the game not the name. The name is just there to show some sort of theme for the game.Hardly matters in the grand scheme of things.

I still don't get why Europeans add a extra "u" to so may words (and frequently have "er" written "re", like center).

If you don't like waggle, just use a GameCube controller.  That's how I played it and I thought it was pretty good.  Never tried the other controller types, though...

They don't add anything, you took the 'u' out. British english was present before American english. Oh (and in) Canada we love our colours, and we drill into the center of a metal stalk at the Ontario Science Centre. Get it?

It'll likely have garbage level design but we don't really know jack about the game so far.

I always felt 'colour' was the cooler way to spell it.

The ads say "no gimmick necessary" but what are the color abilities then?

A game's name is the first impression a developer ever makes with its potential customers, so when it's a particularly bad one it colors (pun not intended) perceptions.  Right now this horrible name tells me that this is just another ****ty Sonic game (an assumption that will probably be closer to the truth than not, given how few even decent Sonic games there are in the entire franchise), and so I have no reason to even think about buying this game.

I think the separate UK trailer makes it clear: These games are designed for the UK market where Sonic is still a big name and will sell huge.

It's done by Sonic Team so expect it to suck.

Sonic and the Black Knight >> any 3D Sonic so far

so far.

yet.

for now.

but really,

Rabbids Go Home >> any Sonic

You know, I never drew that connection, but now that you point it out it does have a similar feel to the Sonic games I have played.

Reminds me I need to play more of it too. My sister and I love playing it.

Maybe it's just me, but I generally disdain most Sonic FMVs. I think it's because I don't like the way Sonic is modeled in them. His whole look when rendered in 3D bothers me. Maybe I just don't like that 'I'm a badass' look on his face.

I don't think it has anything to do with him being a 3D model.  They noticably changed his look with Sonic Adventure.  His eyes went from black to green and they're more detailed with a clearly defined pupil.  His body is noticably thinner and his "quills" are longer so it looks kind of like he has dreads.  It isn't just a 3D thing.  Compare the cover art of the Genesis games to the Dreamcast ones.  All are 2D images but Sonic looks way worse in the Dreamcast titles.  The new look is in the Sonic Advance games as well which are clearly 2D.

Sonic tries too hard to be cool and ends up being lame.
But the games are fun though. At least, the 2D ones are. The only 3D one I've played is Secret Rings. I'm scared to try any others.

This isn't exactly true.  British English was standardized only a few decades before American English.  For words like "color," the lack of u actually conforms to the older Latin/Old French spelling rather than the Anglo-French spelling.

Language nerd FTW!

So nobody is worried about Sonic team being involved?

What's the point when everyone knows that Sonic Team has been nothing but EPIC FAIL since the Dreamcast era?
