Interesting, no?

Sonic Fan Remix vs. Sonic Colors. That's something I can get behind.

As long as the 2D segments are nothing like Needlemouse, it'll be awesome.

I won't make a judgment until I play it.

I'm not a huge Sonic fan, but this looks intriguing. I might have to give it a spindash! *zing*

It is so odd how there ever became enough of a gulf to warrant "Generations", but this still looks pretty neat.

Another 3D Green Hill remake? That means I'm getting it :)!
The Mario series is the best! It has every genre in video games but RTS'! It also has a plumber who does different roles, a princess, and a lot of odd creatures who don't seem to poop!

....They've finally managed to recreate the physics of the original Sonic trilogy and brought back Sonic's 90s design....and your only reason for buying is the fact that Green Hill Zone is in it?

Also....There's more.

I like how 90s Sonic runs in midair.

I never stated that was my only reason for wanting to buy the game. I loved the 3D Green Hill Zone remake in Sonic Adventure 2, and that was a great game on its own. Regardless, though, this game looks great, and I really look forward to it!

For the uninformed: The whole game is to be made up of remade levels from across the past 20 years of the franchise. Excitement ahoy.

Well, Nintendo made SMAS, and then... made it again, so I actually don't have a problem with this.

Also, I never got to that Green Hill Zone remake in SA2, but that's probably because I lost interest in that game very quickly (the GCN version, to be specific. That was in it, right?)

...so...

It's like, "We wanted to make a new game, but it ended up being an enhanced remake collection"

"An incomplete one"

I will hold off judgement until I can play it, but I will say that how interested I am to play it will depend on how much the levels are remade from earlier levels and how much of it is just thematically inspired by them. It's going to be a tricky tightrope to walk, too. Go too far into remake, people will complain about nothing new, but the old games have some of the best level design the medium has seen, and I don't know if the people that have been doing Sonic lately have the same ability to create.

They managed to come pretty darn close to recreating the physics of the Genesis trilogy after shrugging it off for like 10 years now. I consider that an achievement. Whether the worlds included in the game are based on previous ones or not is a non-issue for me.
