I'm looking forward to this game and I have high expectations for it.
But for all of us here at d-toid's sake, I hope it turns out horribly and you don't enjoy it because the reward is worth it.

Well get ready to spike your hair and paint yourself blue, because this looks like a 3D version of Sonic Rush (which isn't good because Sonic Rush works well only in 2D IMO). The werehog sections look boring and are getting away from the speed factor (that Sonic games are well known for) too much.

I want it to be good but I want to see you blue jim, also sing the song "blue"

I really want this game, but deep inside there is the fear of it being bad. Though I'm really hopeful this time.

"Also, I'll toss one off over Sonic and Knuckles Yaoi. It's sad how certain I am that such stuff exists."

Rule 34, Jim

Jim, this music blows. What happened to crush 40? Find out! I want the old sonic rock music back....

The Game looks Ok but...it's been around a decade since last great sonic game (Sonic Adventures for the Dreamcast) I wonder if the blue hedgehog can shake off that much suckage.

Since when did Bowling For Soup suck? I liked the E3 trailer.

As for this trailer. I'd like to disagree about the gameplay. Considering what a load of crap Sonic The Hedgehog (2006 video game, not the original) was. I hope that they finally sorted out the problems.

The problems being crappy camera, frequent glitches, severely long loading times, and gameplay that feels too fast to control in general.

Did somebody say Water Walking?

He's walked on water in quite a few games now that I think about it, both Sonic Rush games included.

Also Long arms...what?..

I'm looking forward to a Blue-haired face Sterling.

the werewolf parts kinda has me wary but it also looks promising...

i also want to see jim painted blue

What's up with the sound when he gets Rings? It sounds like he's losing them, not getting them. I hope they fix that. Other than that, it looks absolutely amazing.

Also, for the record, I will admit here and now that I like the songs in the recent Sonic games. Cheesy they are, yes, but I like Crush 40. Yes, I'm less of a person now. :P

My God a 3D sonic game that doesnt look like a of load shit

OMG JIM IS BECOMING A FURRY!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously Mr. Sterling... If the game ends up sucking, I'm gonna sing the "can you feel the sunshine" song in reverse above your bed until the satanic Tails doll comes and steal your soul. You have been warned.

In the trailer every time Sonic picks up coins, they instead play the sound it makes when Sonic looses all his coins. This sound sends shivers down my spine, reminding me of how vulnerable he is immediately after shedding his coins. It is a close second to the fear that is induced when the "about to drown" music plays.

Also, when long arms are long, I recall one name. Ristar.

Pedrovay and Dimly commented on what I wanted to comment.

@Dimly: RINGS! :P

Even if the game is awesome you should spike your hair blue anyway, Jim.

I want to try it out.

I suspect this will end up being Jim's Golden Axe: Beast Riders.

the fact someone said sonic picks up coins instead of rings makes me want to vomit in rage. all over his face.

Is it just me, or did the "pick up ring" noise in this trailer sound like the "get hit and lose all your rings" noise?
This worries me immensely.

Yes Cleaning Guy, thank you! I was just about to say the new trailers are disorienting me because of how they use the wrong sound effect.

Jim, I'm kinda worried about you...

A good 3D Sonic game? The mind boggles...

@MissHinasaki

This has me excited for this game again.

THe music does suck.

WHat happened to the days when sonic had good music like on genesis and sega cd?

Finally, the Sonic series will be on par with Billy Hatcher.

Jimbo,
Make sure you get lots of lube so it doesn't hurt so much. K/Y, Astroglide, private label generic brand, whatever floats your boat, man. I've gotten so sick of SEGA. They half-ass everything they have released in the last 15 years except for Virtua Fighter 4 & 5. When was the last good Sonic game!?

There are millions of SEGA fans around the world that have begged SEGA (including myself) to re-release past home and arcade classics. We've been "lucky" to get so called "next gen" versions of SEGA Rally, Shinobi, NiGHTS, Golden Axe and Sonic, etc. What do get for all our begging: heartache, heartburn, being pissed off that you just wasted $60+ on a SEGA title with shit graphics and controls for the consoles it designed for.

Yeah, Jimbo, I can't wait to see you in blue. Just do use a favor and keep the videos of your "Sonic and Knuckles Yaoi" for personal use.

And no "Furries" fetish play, either!

I'll likely enjoy this as long as it doesn't have the run-through-the-level-again-for-this-dumbass-achievement problem that Secret Rings had. I still don't understand why my 12-year old insists on playing Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and acting like it's the greatest game ever. It blows.

It doesn't really look as though you really get to play much of the faster portions. Big surprise there.

Shut up Jim, Crush 40 was amazing in Sonic Adevnture 1 & 2.

But fuck Bowling for Soup or whatever.

The music strikes me less as 'Sonic' and more of 'Rez' or something.

Also, I blacked out after the Werehog came on-screen.

I suddenly want this game to suck.

Eh the music is not too bad. It's no Hideki Naganuma but we can all thank Sega for burning down that bridge some time between Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventures.

@Syn:

Haha, Rings, my bad. It's an age old thing with me. For the life of me I screw up rings and coins so much. Recently I started screwing up saying Rock Band for Guitar Hero, it's so bad.

They talked about the messed up sound on the Podtoid, but Jim said that when he played it everything was fine with the sound effects. This game looks downright playable.
