I just don't see it work. I am not saying Sega won't pull it off but why are they experimenting with Sonic? What does he have to do with it?
Sonic to me should be less holding stuff and more attacking. Sonic's spinning is an amazing ability, I don't see characters like Mario or Zelda being able to do anything to do damage which Sonic can do on his own. The feeling of having Sonic break walls down, bouncing all over the place, destroying anything in his rolling path. And yet Sega feels that this is not enough, because in the new games we have not seen this, for the love of God the new games gave you damage if you jump without homing! Sega with Unleashed have got back stuff I liked about Sonic, not just old but new as-well, including a crouch button. And this just seems ridiculous.
SATSR worked but it wasn't because of its setting.
We have seen characters with weapons before, Shadow, and no one liked it. Even the sword game-play was crap because it didn't do the same damage that they could do with their spin.
I like werehog, despite some fans moaning, as its still Sonic, they haven't given him anything extra, he isn't going round with a motorbike or anything else its just Sonic who uses his fists.
We won't know what its like till we get it, but if its a game that could easily have a different character in Sonic's place it is not a Sonic game. Its sega trying to make money by using Sonic's image.
