      They've all been given that slightly more aggresive attitude that Americans seem to crave. I imagine it'll be "Dude" this and "Dude" that, with a full compliment of "Whoooah AWESOME"s and "RAD!".

        With regards to the cartoon, the American effort was actually much better than the awful Japanese effort (Sonic X) which was actually made by Sonic team. The American interpretations of Sonic have always at least had a bit more character than the Japanese efforts.

          Looks terrible, contender for worse Sonic game of all time perhaps, Eurogamer has stated this game isn't being released in Japan. Which said it all about the quality of the title, crap cartoon tie in.

          Alas the days of great license games died way back in the 90's Konami, Capcom and Sega what happened you used to make such great games.

            Gonna go out on a limb here and say I actually really, really like it.

            Sonic's been going down the toilet for a while. Given, recently we've had a few pretty decent titles (Colors, Generations etc) but it's still in danger of becoming a toxic brand. It makes sense for Sega to spin it off into something that wipes the slate and gives a fresh team a go at it, and some of those Naughty Dog platformers were very good.

            I even like the redesign of characters like Knuckles, and the attempt to break up the group's homogenous silhouette.

            I dunno. I suppose I really like the idea that they're being allowed to work with the brand without constraint, and some of these changes demonstrate that. It might end being terrible, I don't dispute that, and I'm not happy with everything I've seen, but I'm interested in seeing someone else's take on the material.

            Let's see what they manage to actually make before judging it.

            This might be due to me being a Gundam fan. I've grown accustomed over the years to seeing someone produce reboots, AUs and reimaginings of the franchise, so it doesn't concern me to see Sega doing it with Sonic.

            Nah, in fairness, they're in a series that has Sonic '06, along with travesties like the Game Gear Sonic Labyrinth. Provided they release a finished game, they can't really do worse.

              I can't believe that they actually use Bangarang in the advert. That's pretty ballsy.

                This isn't even anything daring because it's just pushing it further in the exact same direction, the move that has been happening since Sonic Adventure. Desperately, desperately trying to make Sonic cool. Kidz, we're totally rad, honest. Wait, rad is still the word, right? No, kidz, don't go! We're still cool, we're still cool!

                      LOL, people are talking like it's Naughty Dog making it when it has some of ex-ND members working on it. Hardly the same thing, let's have some perspective here.

                      Also, the character design looks like sh*t.

                        They could be the most well designed characters you've ever seen but at the end of the day it's still Sonic.

                          Fair point, but there is at least a degree of pedigree there in the type of game they are looking to make; whether they have the collective raw talent, leadership and resources is, as yet, unproven or unknown.

                          Nonetheless, it's been a long time since Sonic Team have been considered a premier developer and I'm about ready to see another dev try their hand at the IP.

                            My only disappointment is that the game is a WiiU exclusive.
