Considering that last Sonic The Hedgehog for X360 and PS3 was such horrible mess gameplay wise and
with PS3 version - being multiplatform game and port - such a incredible s*** from technical point of view that it's hard to believe:

I too don't put much fait in new Sonic.
At all.

And the best Sonic game of 2008?

What you actually think this game will be good? C'mon the last Sonic game that was decent was on Dreamcast. After that it was downhill. But I dunno...It may surprise.

Even though it isn't the 19th for about 10 more hours, I had to check anyway.

You liar :(

He's not lying per se, as I just got it too. Maybe they're doing a gradual release to try and offset the inevitable server crash?

If you read Major Nelson, he said that anyone who applied to get into the Beta, automatically gets in a day early.

Thats that.

Should we make another Shenmue and Lose millions? or should we make another sonic game that will Sell regardless of it's quality?

Not as much as the failures of the Sega CD, 32X, and Sega Saturn all in succession did.

Interestingly, I would buy a game called "The Legend of Zelda: The Triforce Unleashed," just because the lead character would be a guest character in Soulcalibur V. *wink wink*

Also in IGN the 360 and PS3 has frame rate issues.

If I understand correctly, the Wii version is made by DIMPS rather than Sega, and will have different level design etc. I might just buy the Wii version now and the PS3 version in a month.

Dimps are doing the 360/PS3 versions. The Wii version is only different because it's MISSING levels, and doesn't have any of the alternate paths you can take in the other versions.

If i've read it correctly, what the Wii version is missing is the overworld, which, given my experience with Adventure's overworld, is a good thing

I didn't know about the alternate path thing, that kinda sucks

Snowblind is completely incorrect. DIMPS is only working on the Wii and PS2 versions. Sonic Team is working on the PS360 versions.
It's also not missing levels. It just doesn't have an overworld hub, and absolutely has alternate paths. The daytime stage design is different in general from the PS360 version, though.

Maybe the PS3 version is delayed so they can remove the weredog, crappy sidekicks and rework the level design.

Or maybe not.

I'm sure there's a joke somewhere in Dimps getting their Sonic game out before Sonic Team.

While waiting for the 360 release, I'll be playing Fable 2, BK: Nuts & Bolts and Mirror's Edge. On my PC, I'll be continuing my epic misadventures in Fallout 3.

At least give the game a chance before you diss it.
Oh right, no demo. Thanks Sega!

Why does everyone hate the werehog when it's potentially a fun part of the game?

Because it's time taken away from the parts that actually are fun and are actually true to what the Sonic franchise stands for.

Imagine vehicle segments filling up half the time you spend in a Metal Gear Solid game. Yeah, we don't want to fuck with a good thing.

Holy crap, besides the last PS3/360 one, the Sonic games haven't been that freaking bad in 3D. Mediocre maybe, but he's due for a truly excellent one, damn it!

According to Casamassina and other IGN editors, the non-werewolf parts are fun but the werewolf parts are terrible.

Way to go, Sega. It sounds like you had a good game. Somewhere. Underneath the fur.

I wish they could make a decent Sonic game again. I miss the little blue burr, he was one of the best things about the 16bit era. Maybe Media Molecule should have a go at it.

why is it so hard for sega to understand that gamers want a sonic game to be a speed based platformer without the crappy cutscenes or sucky friend characters. thats it, thats all...seems simple enough but now look! he's a were...hog or some crap. they've put him on a hoverboard they've given him a gun (yes i know technically it wasn't him, fanboys)...all we want is sonic....running very fast...collecting rings and fighting bosses! simple!!

I'm still buying this game because I haven't learned my lesson yet, but maybe Sega should just spend their time making Sonic the Hedgehog II Turbo HD Remix with Orchestra Score.
