Oh Sonic... here we go again...

[Koopaul]

Eh fanatical nerds like to connect things. Its sorta like a hobby... A sad sad hobby... *sniff*

[Omegajak]

Welp, I don't know bout you loosers but I'm getting this game.

[Vipershark]

that theme song is pretty awful but THIS ACTUALLY LOOKS FUN

[TomGuycott]

Until you have to play the modes that force you to play as that thing that looks like the bastard child of a Chao and 0 from Kirby.

iirc so far the only sonic friend we've seen so far is tails, and that was in cutscenes only
is sega actually listening?????????????

[Shadowth117]

Yeah the theme song is pretty bad, but it looks like they did a pretty good job at an improved version of the Unleashed daytime gameplay. Its a definite rent for me at the very least.

This is starting to bug me a little.
Sonic friends that offer different gameplay is in no way a bad thing. SA1 and 2 with Sonic only (or even Sonic and Shadow only) would have been nowhere near as good as the whole packages. The times where it's been annoying are with non-playable friends (Hi, Marine!), and when the gameplay for the friend is poorly designed (Hi, Silver!)

And I think the theme this time is actually pretty good, considering the last 4 or so games with Vocal themes have sucked HORRIBLY. This has just the right amount of brightness and cheese that works with a Sonic game.

Right up there with Escape from the City and Can you Feel the Sunshine, IMO.

How I thank post 2ice?

In regards to music Sonic games are usually spot on in my opinion. Knight of the Wind being the best of the latest games.

This actually looks pretty good. I loved the Daytime Stages in Unleashed, so I'll be looking forward to this.

[Cobalt Blue]

that was one gay ass sonic theme.

but the gameplay begs to be played.

[DioShiba]

The theme wasn't really terrible but it wasn't really that good ether.

although, the gameplay seems pretty fucking awesome.

As long as the Sonic friend isn't a queer (*cough*Silver*cough*) or some stupid made-up character for that specific game (*cough*Chip*cough*) with really dumb gameplay (*cough*telekinesis*cough*) they should be fine. I personally really want to see more Knuckles and Team Chaotix.

Really? I want more Ray the Squirrel and Mighty the Armadillo! Oh wait....

i want the blue rat running around around missile donuts

Having not played through 06 Directly (watched an LP), Telekinesis as an ability worked in concept, but it was just implimented really poorly. I have a feeling if they tried less to make it all HEY LOOK, HAVOK PHYSICS ENGINE, then it would have been a lot more tolerable.

Chip was plot relevant and didn't bother me aside from his voice acting and his 'I'm always hungry' dialogue gimmick. That, and I don't see the story working if they replaced him with an existing Sonic character (I guess Tikal? But that would be REALLY fanfiction-y).
