SEGA has posted a teaser for its mysterious new Sonic project exclusively to Facebook, and it seems to hint at a game in which the new and old Sonic the Hedgehog come together in one glorious, nostalgia-fueled event coming this year to the PS3 and Xbox 360.
The nature of the footage seems to hint at this being Sonic Generations, the game for which SEGA recently reserved a domain name. This may be what was once called Sonic Anniversary, a game comprised of remakes of past Sonic levels from classic games.
The footage shows the modern, green-eyed hedgehog racing through some typically "Sonic-y" environments, before he's suddenly joined by a pot-bellied, retro-flavored Sonic from days of yore. The two then appear to start racing.
At first I almost shot myself because it looked like Sonic was getting a son, before I realized it was just Genesis Sonic and not some new, terrible child.
Check it out, what do you think?

yeah i am expecting the bitching, but yay old school design Sonic
hahaha excellent!
Seriously though, what do we think, gonna please both old school sonic fans and new school sonic fans by including both?
I dunno, maybeeeee...
But I do like the retro look.
The news is exclusive to face book. Not the game
though This is merely a guess.
Well, if the compilation makes the Adventure levels actually fun, then why not?
Didnt really break it. More so it was an exception to the sonic cycle rule
Itll take a while and more GOOD sonic games before the cycle isnt relevant
Because noone got their hopes up?
This looks awesome~!
@Monodi And yes you are right Sonic Colors did break the Cycle cause it was actually a GOOD Sonic game...Sonic unleashed did as well....but only during the Day time Levels...
But then again I think unleashed Is worse than 06
That's bullsh*t! Put it on the Wii, Sega!
Unless it sucks, then don't bother.
Also I love classic *SEGA* mega drive/genesis boot up vocal - to me that is SEGA.
@Everyone complaining about Sonic's 3D design:
Would you like a tissue? Would some imported chocolates make you feel better? Seriously, shut the hell up with the whining. The character looked fine all this time.
Not even the 3DS? Maybe coming to a Wii successor ?
........
Oh, I'm sorry. I mean, "BAWWWWWWWWWWW Y IS ANOREXIC SONIC WITH MORBIDLY OBESE SAWNICK BAWWWWWWWWW Y DOES MORBIDLY OBESE SAWNICK HAVE NO TEETH DID HE EATED THEM BAWWWWWWWWW"
