The promised day has come at last, friends.

I'm really thrilled to see Christian Whitehead working on this! His remasters were amazing.

This is the first time I've been excited for a Sonic game in well over a decade!

 

[RyudBoy]

I'm gonna go ahead and call this Sonic 4.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Day 1 on PC. Good lord it looks so good.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

This looks actually really amazing.
Hopefully Sega finally realized that old-school Sonic is best Sonic.

All I wonder is if there's a reason this won't come out on Wii U, Vita and 3DS?

 

[katsubento]

Day Zero. Day frakkin' zero.

 

[RagnarokX]

Speaking of the Advance trilogy, how the hell did Dimps fall from grace that badly? Advance 1 was terrific and even had accurate physics, 2 was good, 3 was gimmicky but alright, the Rush games were fun if a bit shallow (and introduced Blaze, who is pretty much my favourite Sonic character), but then Sonic 4 came along and holy shit that was a dumpster fire.

Advance 1 had the physics, but the level design and art were bland as hell.

Advanced 2 was the really beginning of their fall because the level design got even worse with every level becoming a super generic downhill race except for Music Plant Zone. Every boss is a running boss fight.

Advanced 3 was basically Knuckles Chaotix 2.

Rush had even worse level design. Bottom of the barrel bad. And the physics engine was so bad and infected other games like Sonic 4 and Sonic Generations.

They've just never been good at Sonic and it's been a downhill ride from the start.

You'll get your shitty 3D "modern" Sonic game. Just calm your horses.

Nobody wants a shitty 3D modern Sonic game... we want an amazing 3D modern Sonic game, which shouldn't be that hard to do.

 

[BoosterDuck]

we want an amazing 3D modern Sonic game, which shouldn't be that hard to do.

well seeing 3D sonic's track record, it's near impossible for it to happen

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I mean they haven't made one yet, so apparently...

Generations and Colors was a step in the right direction
Lost Worlds just wasn't fun, even if they had a good idea with the mechanics
Sonic Boom Wii U suffered from Management meddling

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

Looks awesome
Also guys dont worry itll come to NX
Sega isnt that stupid

 

[dlauv]

Then how come they haven't made a single one?

Colors and Generations are like 75% 2D.

 

[Anth0ny]

It's gonna come to NX. And it'll probably sell like shit on NX.

But sonic games will still come. For no logical reason, really.

 

[RagnarokX]

Looks awesome
Also guys dont worry itll come to NX
Sega isnt that stupid

Imagine scanning an amiibo and unlocking Mario.

 

[fernoca]

Looks awesome

Like when Generations skipped Wii?

It's gonna come to NX. And it'll probably sell like shit on NX.

But sonic games will still come. For no logical reason, really.

All Stars Racing 2 was a Wii U launch title and outsold the PS3 and 360 versions. So who knows what might happen.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

It's gonna come to NX. And it'll probably sell like shit on NX.

wat

It'll either sell best on NX or PC. And it'll likely have Amiibo support.

Like when Generations skipped Wii?

It came to 3DS. Close enough.

 

[Doctre81]

It's gonna come to NX. And it'll probably sell like shit on NX.

Huh? Sonic games sell well on nintendo systems. Even the terrible ones.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

..... That's it???? No next gen hedgehog engine?????

The new Sonic game is a fangame. I'm dying here lol.

.

 

[manakel]

Sooooo, maybe we'll get a new SOR?

PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN

BTW, this game looks awesome.

With the team that made Streets of Rage Remake, it would be a dream come true. Make it happen Sega!

 

[fernoca]

It came to 3DS. Close enough.

Yeah, but is not like Sega has a good track record when it comes to obvious decisions.

 

[Crayolan]

It's gonna come to NX. And it'll probably sell like shit on NX.

Don't Sonic games sell best on Nintendo consoles?

 

[VendettaRed07]

Holy shit.

I came in expecting nothing.

And I am blown away.

looks amazing.

 

[D.Va]

Oh, boy, it's happening. And that MUSIC.

 

[Nanashrew]

Don't Sonic games sell best on Nintendo consoles?

They do. Sega even said it themselves and was their reasoning for the 3 Sonic deal.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

They do. Sega even said it themselves and was their reasoning for the 3 Sonic deal.

Heck, even Sonic Boom, one of the worst Sonic games of all time, sold decently on Wii U.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Holyshit!!

Day fucking 1 without a doubt.

 

[BitStyle]

Looking good. Will definitely pick this up day 1. Finally something to satiate my hunger for a more classic sonic game.

 

[Delstius]

Okay that is a good surprise, an actual 2D Sonic. And it look awesome, unbelievable.

 

[Yoshi]

well seeing 3D sonic's track record, it's near impossible for it to happen

Unleashed, Colours and Generations were amazing, as was the Sonic part of Sonic Adventure 2. Sonic Lost World, Sonic Adventure, Sonic Heroes and Sonic and the Secret Rings were also nice fun.

Is this all the huge Sonic Team ist working on for years? Has there been a comment whether the game will see a physical release?

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

Wow, it looks amazing and has some beautiful pixel art in it.

For all I care this is the true Sonic 4.

 

[Rewrite]

Definitely buying this. Looks so good. 😭

 

[jasminlovesyoux]

Wow. I am HYPED. like others are saying, this is my Sonic 4 hahaha

 

[Babymario26]

This is the best tittle screen i have seen in awhile, Hopefully 2017 will be a good year for Sonic.

 

[Zubz]

I'm surprised they hadn't just trusted Whitehead to make his own Classic Sonic game earlier, but that's the perfect way to do an anniversary game! The game looks beautiful; I can't wait to finally get my hands on this!

And for people worried about the NX, we don't officially even know the name of the system. I'm sure it'll be on there.

 

[Tain]

Trailer looks really nice and Taxman has certainly made a wonderful modern Sonic engine, but has he designed enough playable new stuff to assume he can carry an entire game's worth? Or have the other guys working on this?

 

[UnemployedVillain]

It's gonna come to NX. And it'll probably sell like shit on NX.

But sonic games will still come. For no logical reason, really.

Is this supposed to be a joke post?

 

[Zero-ELEC]

WRONG THREAD

 

[BabyFaceKillah]

Best thing about that was the title screen

 

[celebi23]

Oh SHIT Did not expect that other character showing up in that new trailer

edit: Dammit, wrong thread.

 

[Zubz]

... And I lied! New trailer explicitly shows NX at the end. I guess we are missing out on Mania for no reason. That's pretty lame, honestly. I have no idea why it can't run Sonic Mania, but can run an actually-new HD game.

 

[ScientificPizza]

Finally the real Sonic 4

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

So this isn't coming to NX.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Ok, so the new 3D Sonic was just announced and it actually said "NX" in the trailer.

So maybe Mania isn't coming to NX. Holy shit.

 

[Jhn]

It looks so fucking smooth. These guys get it.

 

[Escalario]

So the new Sonic from the Sonic Team has NX in the plaftorm logos. Told ya people this would not come out on a Nintendo platform.

 

[New002]

I was never the biggest Sonic fan, but this does look really damn nice. I hope it delivers. It certainly seems like it will!

 

[Anth0ny]

I see Nintendo consoles gradually decreasing in sales. That's all.

 

[Kumo]

RIP NX

 

[ZeroX03]

So the new Sonic from the Sonic Team has NX in the plaftorm logos. Told ya people this would not come out on a Nintendo platform.

And you reasoning was third parties don't give a shit about Nintendo and wouldn't support them. You still look like a fool.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

So the new Sonic from the Sonic Team has NX in the plaftorm logos. Told ya people this would not come out on a Nintendo platform.

According to you, the next 3D Sonic wouldn't either.

So stop patting yourself on the back. We were both wrong.
