Courtesy of Sega and its Gamer's Day, we have a set of new screenshots for you. Say what you will about the Weresonic idea and Sonic Team's track record, there's no denying that this title looks bloody beautiful, at the very least.
Of course, most Sega games have the looks, but it's the gameplay that matters and here is where Sonic Team consistently trips up. I am not yet prepared to totally write it off, but Sonic Unleashed follows a long string of console disappointments, so it remains to be seen whether Sonic Team can cut the mustard on modern home platforms.
We shall see.

You will not excite me. It's happened in the past and only led to disappointment and tears.
I actually wrote a blog post where I try to articulate what's wrong with the franchise. Check it out
This easily looks like it could be released over XBLA, or the Playstation Store. I don't want to see Sonic trapped by nostalgic fans!
on topic:
I'm pretty fired up about this game, I've loved sonic in the beginning, was dissapointed by its first steps into 3D, and kept being dissapointed, yet I look forward to any Sonic game, as you can never know... one day they might find the way to do it right :-D
Never the less I'll still be patient and wait for the actual game to come out before I judge.
It's a sign. 'The one' is coming.
Where's a new Panzer Dragoon, Shinobi, Otogi, ESWAT or even freaking Burning Rangers? Burning Rangers is for more deserving, than more Sonic.
Better yet, where's the new IP (beyond the Platinum Games collaborations and Golden Axe)? Pushing remakes on Wii is cool, but something more is needed.
Anyway, this game looks pretty, but is it just me or do the environments look a bit too "3D Studio Max-ish"? They've got this weird white ambient light thing going on that bugs me.
I'm still cautiously optimistic for this, even with the Wurrwilf stuff. As long as it's FUN, unlike Sonic 2006, I'll be happy. But we'll see.
@ETERNALDEATHSLAYER: yuji naka left sonic team, so he has nothing to do with this game.
