This weekend some sites brokes some leaked screenshots from this trailer. That’s just fine, but I’m going to take my time if it’s only screenshots. I mean, with rendering tech what it is these days, those could have been from some fan-made thing. But no, the movie from official sources kind of proves it.
FINALLY! A Sonic game that captures the feeling of speed. Jeez, about time, people.
Hm, coming “soon.” Where’s the rolleyes icon…
I admit, however, the Wii guy in me wonders what’s so great here that requires the power of the XBox 360 and the PS3. I mean, how about a little Wii lovin’?

Interesting that it is finally coming out “soon”. However, I’m not sure that I can take your artice seriously, since it sounds like its written by a 5 year old fan-boy.

Truth be told, Paul, I don’t like Sonic, and I never really did. I was a Nintendo guy and will take the Italian plumber over the freakish hedgehog any day.
However, there’s something undeniably cool about a Sonic game getting back to its roots after all these years of, frankly, rotten spin offs. Knowing my audience somewhat, I didn’t think I needed to labor that point, and instead decided to cut to the chase and go ahead and let a little excitement show.
I’m not sure I understand where you get the five-year-old bit. The only five-year-olds I know couldn’t care less about Sonic. They’re much too young to remember that particular character from his prime.
Perhaps you’re referring to my “soon” crack? There are many many games that promise “soon.” I don’t believe any such promises until I see a release date, and even then I’m inclined to bet on slippage.
Anyway, thanks for your feedback.
