Topic: Next-Generation Sonic Confirmed

Take that, Shadow!

One of Sega's biggest booth attractions at E3 is a fifteen-minute reel of next-generation footage.  While all of the footage shown is either confirmed for Xbox 360 or undecided, the sequence ends with a lengthy teaser for a new Sonic game.  Since Sonic has been consistently well-received on the GameCube, it will most likely appear on the Revolution (though it was clearly running on an Xbox 360 alpha kit).    

The Sonic teaser is almost completely a cut-scene showing off smooth, real-time renders of Sonic dashing through a meadow and evading huge armies of robots.  To prove the footage is generated on-the-fly, the camera briefly goes into first-person view and the demonstrator shoots rings.  The demo ends with Sonic turning into Super Sonic and flying into a mass of enemies.

Unless they fix what's broken with 3-D Sonic (which hasn't happened in four games), I could care less.

I still say they need to do a Massive, 50+ level epic of a 2D Sonic game.

Does anyone else have this weird feeling Sega, Sammy, Silicon Knights, and Microsoft are all about to become the same company?  Hmmm...

I found the perfect Sonic game for me at Sonic Robo Blast 2. Played with analog controls turned on, it's IMO what a 3D Sonic should be.

Sega needs to top that if they really want my attention. It's one hell of a statement when fans somehow manage to outdo the company of their inspiration (something that tends to happen, like, never).
