!VGP Anyone else interested in the new Sonic Generations news? http://goo.gl/cdu19 I think it's got a lot of potential, *knock on wood*, but it's going to be trapped by essentially being two entirely different games games duct-taped together.

@retl !VGP For as long as I have been in the Sonic community via internet (see: Sonic Adventure 1), the biggest grapesoff of demands was, in short, "Sonic 1, but in 3D". At least, that's what all the oldgrapess (especially myself) have always wanted because we remember a time before the 3D era, when things seemed to go downhill (according to a lot of stubborn oldmurdocks, unlike myself). To be perfectly honest, the only thing I really want out of a Sonic game anymore is a Chao Garden like in Sonic Adventure (DX) and Sonic Adventure 2 (Battle). Sure, not doing Sonic 2006 all over again would be GREATLY APPRECIATED (I feel bad for Silver, but that's another discussion for a later date), but that side-game alone is what really got me to play all of the levels, to get the best emblem for each stage, and why I've logged MORE THAN 200 hours into my SA2B. But coming back to the topic, it comes to either this game is going to become VERY SUCCESSFUL or a new rung on the grapes-Tier ladder.

@zarkanorf !vgp After seeing a little bit of gameplay, I'm relatively sure it's going to be as close as Sega can get to pleasing all the Sonic fans since it hits 2D gameplay and 3D gameplay together, and gives a perfectly good excuse to play with a lot of people's nostalgia. (I really want to see their take on a 2D Emerald Coast or Twinkle Park because I remember a fangame that did TP in 2D that I loved.) But since the two sides of the game are going to be in the same package, a lot of people are going to feel like they *have* to play the whole thing to get their money's worth. This'll end with Sonic Adventure / Unleashed / Colors fans at more at odds with the 2D portions, and long-time fans who preferred the classic gameplay having some issues with having to play the 3D segments to complete it. (And it's a Sonic game. There will be a hidden level/mode/SUPERSAIYAN for beating everything.) It will sell well. But if it ends up a bad game that many people buy... Could get nasty.

@retl Agree with your summary on the new !Sonic game. It looks like Sega might be shooting themselves in the foot by trying to please the retro crowd AND the newcomer gamers. Still, i think there's hope, if the controls aren't as wonky as they usually are in sonic games. Keeping our fingers crossed... !vgp
