So I was at work on Saturday (July 19, 2008) and unbeknowest to me, the Sonic message boards at Gamefaqs has once again blown into a riot frenzy because a new Sonic has been announced. What else is new?So far, all we know is that he is going to be wielding a sword. So yeah, I know what you're think: "That's ****ing terrible!"Well, I'm just trying to be positive about this. Especially due to the fact that fans just LOVE saying how much of a failure this is based on ONE picture.And even though we've had past failures, it's never a good idea to always bring up past ideas. It just makes you stay negative all the time.Anyway, I recorded this on my mp3 player (not an iPod lol) when I woke up this morning. So I may sound obvious or groggy at some points (you'll also hear my mom lol) but I tried to give some positive points.I just don't like fans thinking this is a ripoff, or the gameplay will be nothing like Sonic, or that they keep saying this will be exactly like Shadow (even if the basic premise is similar, you have YET TO EVEN SEE THE GAMEPLAY).The whole point of this video is one thing: DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER.It's unbelievable how many people do just that.Yes, the game is real.

Dec 5, 2008 - Even though most consider Shadow a failure, it did make is on the Player's Choice so that means the only "bad" Sonic game was Sonic 06.

Dec 5, 2008 - SA2 was not a simple game. sonic the hedgehog 1992, was a simple game, and if they hadn't of added these "gimmicks" then they would have never had ever created SA and SA2. HECK sonic never would have never changed to 3d based game play, it would have been 2d. there wouldn't have been no hommin atk, grinding, new characters, playable eggman(SA2), and etc. so if they dont experiment and add stuff, games would never progress.
Djac14000 Says:
Dec 5, 2008 - but PNKproductions is probably a lil kid raised wit the gamecube version of SA and SA2 and forward, and never seen how drastic the changes of sonic games in general... so i say give this game a chance, its actually a good idea, but if its not so good don't blame the changes, it was just that SEGA, sonic team, or who ever produced this game, didn't execute or introduce the idea well enough.

Dec 5, 2008 - nulyak13. wat made Sonic 06 so bad? idk, so i would like you to tell me every reason why its bad. just curious.
foo1239 Says:
Dec 5, 2008 - ok think about this:the thing that sonic does is run fast through a level, what if you didnt have to stop, jump, do a homing attack, land, then speed up, people want to run thru the level fast like in the genesis. now what if sonic uses the sword to get rid of enemies in front of him WITHOUT SLOWING DOWN!!!That would rock, it'd be a really speedy game. also, about sonic '06; ITS NOT THAT HARD, I HAVE AN S ON ALMOST EVERYTHING, and kingdom valley may be one of the most fun lvels ive ever played
SetnaroX Says:
Dec 5, 2008 - I got all S rankings on SONIC '06, and I still don't like the game. It's not the difficulty that made the game bad. It's the frustrations on various things that killed it. The loading times, the glitches, and other assorted things I don't want to mention. It may be a fun game to some people, but it's practically hard NOT to be oblivious to the problems it had.
foo1239 Says:
Dec 5, 2008 - i do agree that the problems are blatently obvious. i just never found them to interfere except for every one in a while when my homing attack went no where and killed me, but its ur opinion and i respect that. also, nice vid, i like ur veiwpoint 5/5

Dec 5, 2008 - I like the idea and never even had a problem with the 3D games... DEAL WITH IT!

Dec 5, 2008 - He actually does what you said at 5:31 in the newest trailer for the game. It looks like he could chop down trees with it.
BalooDumptruck Says:

BalooDumptruck Says:
Dec 5, 2008 - acaultuy riders 2 was good to me cause its better than any mario party game in my opion,
BalooDumptruck Says:
Dec 5, 2008 - some people dont like the old school games, like me cause their limited and cant go any further, Sonic Generation
SonicGeneration Says:
Dec 5, 2008 - I like them, but i like the next generation of games better
BalooDumptruck Says:
Dec 5, 2008 - thats fien and all for you, its your choice and such
dzonikpunk Says:
Dec 5, 2008 - The only thing I like about shadow the hedgehog was the way he looked wit da motorcycle and a gun in hand it's so Bad assbut besides dat's about it lmao
raf455 Says:
Dec 5, 2008 - yeah i like it too when games change instead of always the same i like to play something new and i hate super gamenerds who always complain that they changed something of a old game and thats my opinion
QutieStar Says:
Dec 5, 2008 - Nice veiewpoint on the game. 5/5 I hope Sega won't use it so much as a crutch.
1andonlybacon Says:
Dec 5, 2008 - man they have made alot of sonice games there all pretty cool but sometimes change isnt always good.....next mario will be carrying a bloody shotgun!
chrispen9 Says:
Dec 5, 2008 - I WANTED KINGDOM HEARTS NOT THIS!!!
MysteryAC Says:
Dec 5, 2008 - This will be a game. Just not a Sonic game I expected. A sword doesn't magically make you faster.
xMisterEpicx Says:
Dec 5, 2008 - Sonic Unleashed is way way way way better than this.
zGoth09 Says:
Dec 5, 2008 - Everything you said was a good idea. I'm thinking the same way about this game, it'll probably be pretty sweet.Also, Sonic looks SO badass with that sword :D
XxChaosRimixX Says:
Dec 5, 2008 - ppl ppl chill out i have something to relief all of you i heard this is supposed to be a squeal or similar idea to sonic ant the secret rings so that means all speed and some what fun ^^
