I'll reserve judgement until I see some video or previews. The first trailer looked decent enough so hopefully they can put together something interesting. Obviously Sega is listening (Sonic 4) so hopefully Sonic Colours will be at least decent. It's also nice that they're focusing on the Wii and DS instead of going cross-platform and porting down.
>Sonic Colors for Nintendo DS is being developed by Sonic Team in association with Dimps
>Sonic Team
I can't quite say that qualifies as good news. Dimps is a pretty decent crew, but when you pair decent up with utter shit, you just get shit.
Honestly, if they'd just give us a Sonic game with 3D graphics that played in a 2D fashion, it'd be perfect. Super Mario Galaxy 2 managed to do it and those levels are amazing.

Why do people even like Dimps? Sonic Advance/Rush may be more like the originals, but they still absolutely suck.
I'd rather let Sonic Team make the games.

You have absolutley no idea what you're talking about Shawn. Sonic Rush nearly gave me a heart attack with how... DECENT it was.
Sonic Team can suck it.

Wii version of sonic unleashed was by dimps right? I liked the 360 version better (sonic levels only considered, not werehog)
Actually to go one further, this game is being developed by the same part of Sonic Team that made the storybook titles. The part of the team that work on Unleashed for the 360 is likely working on a game for Sonic's 20th Anniversary that we don't know about yet.
On that same note, apparently all future storybook titles are scrapped, as even they realized that Sonic and the Black Knight was a bad idea after the fact

To hell with that, who's scoring them? Whichever version gets the Hideki Naganuma soundtrack (if either) wins by default.
@masterballs - Rush isn't even decent. It jerks off to its own ridiculous forms of speed and "coolness". There is no real gameplay to be found behind the stupid moves it has you doing every five seconds.
@Shawn: And it still manages to be much more fun than any of the Sonic titles that aren't Unleashed.
I seriously hope that these games turn out like the daytime levels of Unleashed. Although I didn't really have a problem with the Wearhog stuff, those daytime levels wear brilliant, even if I wasn't really doing anything.
Shit just looked awesome, and with Sonic, hell, I'mma time trial type of guy.

I actually have to agree.
It was nothing but GO FAST GO FAST GO FAST and SPEED BOOST SPEED BOOST, but somehow, no fun.
It really wasn't speed that made Sonic fun, but the level design. I don't think Sega gets this anymore (well, obviously they don't).

Well, the original Sonic Advance still had excellent design, and it holds up remarkably well to this day. You want to know why the others were "Hold Right To Win"? Because so called Sonic "experts" complained that Sonic Advance was too slow. I mean, look at all the reviews for Advance 2-3, Rush, and Rush Adventure. The people got what they wanted.
It's really only know that a lot of them have realized that those games haven't aged well. Sega SEEMS to have learned that lesson with Sonic 4, we'll just have to see if Colors is the same, but I'm not calling Dimps out yet.
Also, Dimps works under Sonic Team's name. Just because they're "In association with Sonic Team" doesn't mean Dimps isn't in charge.

It amazes me that there's still an entire group of people called "Sonic Team" when they haven't released a successful or good Sonic game in like 15 years.
Daytime levels of unleashed were decent.
The nighttime levels and all the surrounding shit was what killed the game.
Colors promises to be the best of Unleashed.
I'm fine with that.
The DS version would be something more Rush-ish?

For the moment, all I care about is the music. The few tracks of Sonic 4 I've heard I hate, and Sonic Unleashed has by far the best Sonic soundtrack.
They had a good thing going with Sonic 4 but they just HAAAAD to throw in a cheesetacular Sonic game. I swear Sega is addicted to shovelware.
Well, Sonic Team did actually do a really good job with their Unleashed day stages on 360/PS3, maybe even better then what Dimps did with them on the Wii. If the Wii version is anything like those, then I'm not TOO worried. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see.
Something tells me that this is going to be Sonic 3D Blast all over again. Running around collecting birds and dumping them off somewhere.
And to top it all off, it's at a amusement park, which was pretty much where knuckles chaotix was.
SO, considering that those two were the worst games in the 16 bit era, I think Sonic team managed to break the Sonic cycle. They completely skipped step one and went bee-lining to step two. at lest they're getting more efficient.

Just make the good ol' 2D sonics, where it wasn't just about how fast sonic went but the obstacle in the way of keeping you from going lightning fast. That part of sonic aged well, the stuff they try now isn't aging well at all.
