[quote=Kotaku]It appears that Sega may actually have been listening. After years and years of (mostly) awful 3D Sonic games, the company is now teasing something called "Project Needlemouse", billed as a return to the Sonic of old.
"Old-school Sonic fans have long asked to see Sonic return to a more 2D style of gameplay" says Sega of America's Ken Balough. "Many liked the daytime stages in Unleashed, but wanted to see a game that plays purely similar to the early games of the Genesis. Project Needlemouse is that critical first step that brings Sonic back to his 2D roots."
The teaser clip's tagline reads "Speed returns, in an all new 2D adventure built from the ground up", with Balough confirming the game will, rather than be a retro-remake, be an all-new game built in HD.
It'll be out in 2010. No word on platforms, but the "HD" bit certainly narrows it down. What do you think, Sega fans? Do you dare to hope?[/quote]

CAN'T WAIT for the nostaliga!
I bet it'll be crap, regardless of perspective.
I'd be more excited if I wasn't reminded of all the furry jpegs and gifs circulating around Sonic and Friends.
Awesome.
Sega's gonna fuck it up, like all other Sonic games, I'm sorry but all faith is lost in sonic.
The only people who care about sonic anymore are furries and retrofags.
Sega need to realise sonic is old news.
This is what they should have done from the start.
It's a bit late now, maybe they'll surprise us though.

I don't know, they were scraping the bottom of the barrel with that "werehog" shit.
Sonic is very much a character of the 90's, he needs to be put to rest.
Granted, this trailer looks pretty slick only because I [i]have[/i] to have some hope.
Where's my Sonic Adventure 3

LOOKS AWESOME
I think not.
OH YES
WATCH AND BE AMAZED
WE, SEGA, SHALL MAKE A GAME
BUT NOT JUST ANY GAME
IT WILL BE A GAME THAT WE'VE ALREADY MADE BEFORE!
*fans cheer out of both relief and retardation*
I got a huge nostalgia-grin on my face when the "SEEEHGAAAAH" sound played.
I'm actually having some hopes for this, because for the first time in a long while Sonic Team is listening to their fans.
Don't fuck it up, SEGA, don't fuck it up!! :argh:
I liked sonic adventure games.
Let's see what happens.
That's really all I can say.
I hope for the best.

I wish sonic and mario games would just stop all together.
The old ones are good, yes, so stop butchering it and do something fucking new.
I am torn between hope and prior disgust.
I have a friend who buys all the Sonic games, and seeing him play, it's kinda pathetic when he could be playing Bioshock or other critically acclaimed games.
I'll hope for the best and just say Sony will make this good. If they're any good at listening, I'm sure they know we want more than just a 2D scroller slapped onto a recent Sonic game.
If it's going to be in "HD", as they claim, that means no Wii, meaning they've cut off 80% of the potential customers.
why not just get with it and make sonic's super happy furry gay adventure.
98% of sonic fans will buy it.
2% will bitch about how it isn't like the old school ones.

How dare he prefer different games to you

He'll buy Sonic games no matter what the review scores.
We generally agree on stuff, but when I see him playing [i]Sonic : Curse of the Sworded Were-Rabbit[/i] or some such shite, which he admits are shite, it makes me :smith:

But Mario games are still good.
