Finally, a Sonic The Hedgehog Game that WON'T suck?

One reason is because Sony's American division has actually enforced a law in which because they want to show off the "power" of the PS2 and PS3, they reject any developer who manufactures a 2-D game for their consoles, save for Fighting Games like Guilty Gear or Street Fighter.

This is why NAMCO RPGs like Namco X Capcom and Tales of Destiny 2 and the remake of the first Tales of Destiny never came Stateside, because Sony of Japan doesn't have such a rule. They're more open with the gaming industry. Heck, they allow pr0n DVDs to be marketed for PS2.

Nintendo and Capcom however love reinventing the 2-D Concept and not straying too far from their roots. Case in point, here's other games by the two companies featuring "2.5-D Mode":

Nintendo:

Super Paper Mario (Wii)
New Super Mario Bros. (DS)
Kirby: The Crystal Shards (N64, & Wii's Virtual Console)
Certain Morph Ball and Screw Attack sequences in the "Metroid Prime" series. (GC, Wii)

Capcom:

MegaMan Network Transmission (GC)
MegaMan Powered-Up! (Sony PSP)
MegaMan X7 (PS2)
MegaMan X8 (PS2)
MegaMan X: Maverick Hunter (Sony PSP)
Viewtiful Joe (GC)
Viewtiful Joe 2 (GC)
Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble (GC, & Sony PSP)
Viewtiful Joe: Double Trouble (DS)
Ghosts 'n' Goblins (Sony PSP)
Street Fighter 4 (Arcade, PS3)

... Of course, Square-Enix explored 2.5-D as well with the PS1 shoot-'em-up "R-Type" clone "Einhander". NAMCO did it with the "Klonoa" franchise. And of course, SEGA's done it with a few Sonic games and the 'NiGHTS' games. But they haven't really had the balls to stick with it like they should.

So basically Sony has/had (I'm not sure how to put it at this time) actually gone for the Bernie Stolar "No 2D games" rule that killed the SEGA Saturn.
 
Yeah, pretty much, that's about the size of it.

No 2-D Sprite games (except for Compilations of Old Games for old Consoles ... Strictly Fighting Games... Downloadable content, like the update of Street Fighter II on PlayStation Network... Or stylized and artsy PSP Handheld games like LocoRoco) on their consoles.

They wanna stroke their Egos and show off the console's power, and sell more stuff...

... But with the gaming community pretty much "up-in-arms" now about Final Fantasy 13 breaking its PS3 Exclusivity and being set for an Xbox 360 launch (Atleast, it'll be on PS3 and XBox360 in America. Japan, I'm not sure--It might be still PS3 only over there), critics and some "hardcore" gamers and Sony Loyalists say the PS3 is "fucked" now, hoping that Metal Gear Solid 4 (and maybe Soul Calibur IV, with its cameo of Darth Vader as a playable character) will "save" the console.
 
the brief glimpse of Werewolf Sonic makes me think of DMC1. This frustrates me.

My thoughts exactly, Sonic...

What the hell have they done to you?

A sword?

Taking on Mario wasn't enough. Now you're gonna take on Link?

What's next? A Soul Calibur Cameo?
 
it looks really good, except for the werewolf-sonic sequences... sigh
 
Sound track's as crap as ever. :(
 
What's with nearly everyone condemning the game before we have even played it?

We don't know how the things will fit together at this point. Sure the recent games for Sonic have been extremely lackluster or fucking bullshit, but this game shouldn't be condemned because of those mistakes.

From what we know, Sonic's normal gameplay segments will be a HUGE improvement over Sonic "Next Gen", the were-sonic thing doesn't look as bad as it seemed at first, the plot looks set to bring Eggman BACK INTO THE MAIN VILLAIN ARCHTYPE rather have him take a back seat as bad guy. Music seems great, and imo, I think having Bowling for soup do some theme music for this sonic game is a good idea. I'm not exactly a fan of BFS, but it seems like a great choice, punk music + Sonic games seem to go together like peanut butter and jelly.

Now, as for that recent image of Sonic with a sword, I'd rather have that than Shadow with Guns.
 
Pfft, I prefer the Midi soundtracks of the classic sega games. If they did rock/orchestreal remakes of those or of songs in those styles, that would be fitting.

Now they tack bland radio-friendly pop-rock on to it in a bid to say HAY KIDS, WE'RE EDGY AND COOL, WE'RE DOWN WITH THE KIDS. YOU WANT GUNS? YEAH, GIVE SHADOW GUNS, SWORD? FUCK KIDS, WE AGREE, HERE'S SONIC WITH A SWORD. SHIT, WEREWOLVES? FUCKYES KIDS, HERE'S SONIC AS A WEREWOLF. YEAH KIDS, BOWLING FOR SOUP? YEAH, LET'S HAVE SONIC SKATEBOARD TOO. YEAH. YEAH KIDS, YEAH, HOW ABOUT WE HAVE SONIC COMMIT SOME KNIFE CRIMES, YEAH, DOWN WITH THE CHILDREN. YEAH, KNIFE CRIME WEREWOLF SWORD TOTING BOWLING FOR SOUP LISTENING TO HEDGEHOG. WE'RE SO COOL.

Fuck you Sega.

Sonic died at Adventure Battle 2, he was burried in Green Hills cemetary. Tails died too, because he was a fucking mutant.

It looks very bad, actually. A Sonic game where the game wants you to slow down in any way is a very bad thing.

Go back and look at every trailer for any 3-D Sonic game ever. It always sets Eggman up like this. The only exception would probably be Secret Rings.

Where's Rouge the Bat buried?

I'd like to bury my face in her monster tits to shield my eyes from the horrors of Sonic's horrible misadventures and bestial love affair with HUMAN Princess Elise.
