I loved that race. Though I agree, it was a letdown to not have an actual fight.
No Sonic ANYTHING at PAX, except for the Sonic Chronicles trailer we’ve already seen. I was hoping for a downloadable demo. Blast.

Sonic Video Insider: Episode 5
[media=youtube]oJikcSIDEyY[/media]
wow…green hill zone? the hq of G.U.N.? I had almost forgot that this game gets released at the end of this month…I’m hoping the reviews are good.
I thought Sonic Chronicles and Unleashed were end of October, not September.
nope…chronicles gets shipped out Sept. 30.
Funny I was in a Gamestop earlier today and they already got the boxes with the prices on the shelves.
As hyped as I am for Brotherhood, I will preorder it and wait for reviews. If there’s any indication, to me, that this is another Sonic dud, I’m not getting it. However, I have a good feeling about the game.
Unleashed is guilty until proven innocent. Sonic Team gets no faith from me.
you sure those weren’t just mark up boxes? We have boxes in our store too for marketing purposes.
I’ve seen some reactions on Unleashed and most of them were positive; I heard the controls are a A LOT better and the werehog game play was actually really fun. Eh I’m buying I’m excited xD.
Werehog still looks lame, but the 2.5D/over-the-back running hybrid stages look too awesome.
Could have been, I was in and out the store in under two minutes and didn’t bother to ask about the game itself.
My first home console was a Sega Genesis with Sonic and Quackshot. I played the living hell out of both of them. I really enjoyed zipping through the first level as fast as I could…
The problem with Sonic and most 3D games is that the switch to 3D made games much slower than their 2D predecessor (for obvious hardware reasons). Since Sonic is all about speed, it hasn’t had the same feel for a long time.
The werehog is definitely cool, reminds me of Spider-Man/symbiote duality. Wish I could see more about the stretching arms and massive strength combos. From the little exposed so far, this night mode adds more puzzles and actions to the game other than jumping, dodging, and changing directions in day mode.
After seeing the videos from gametrailers.com, I’ve been inspired to pick up a XBOX360 again and am looking forward to getting this game more than any other. If Sega follows through with what has been shown already, then it will have the speed I’ve missed for so long. CANT WAIT!
The Genesis Sonics were WAY more about platforming than speed. You have your facts mixed up. The real issue with 3D Sonics can be summed up easily: poor controls, poor camera, and far too many “hold up and watch a cutscene” moments.
Also, no “obvious hardware reasons” have anything to do with speedy gameplay. C’mon.
Chronicles and unleashed both look sick. Everyone get ready to lol @ specs when unleashed gets good reviews:tup:
Absolute Truth! Appearantly blind “purist” and trolls tend to forget ignore this and go by what the Acro said.
I’m ready like a loaded pistol! 
I agree with ya that there was more platforming involved in the older 2d sonics. But I’m also going to say that sonic 1 and 2 didn’t really give too much of a reason to do more platforming than was necessary because of how collecting the emeralds worked in those games. Both games you could generally had a good combination in which you could choose to just completely go at your own pace and you could still collect the emeralds before the end. 3k actually gave more of a reason to explore because of the giant rings that lead to the special stages.
Alternate routes says hello. Sonic 2 had alternate routes which some had the lamp post (which was needed to get into special stages)
It doesnt always have to be about the special stage for exploring there’s speeds runs as well.
Precedent is on my side, but if it ends up being good, well, Sonic Team had other flukes before. cough PSO cough
I’m not going to hold my breath.
