It's still in development. -.- Plus they're getting rid of the mine cart I heard.

I don't know why you're hating so much that I'm looking forward to a video game.


EDIT- I just heard Sonic Colors is supposed to be like Sonic Unleashed's day time levels. I approve. I thought it was gonna be some stupid puzzle game.

Dude that game stands for everything wrong in the world, everything wrong. It just shows how you don't even have to try anymore to get some internet hype off a series that's catering to an oblivious demographic.

Anyways:

A unique playground has been seen orbiting the planet of Sonic the Hedgehog. Some rumors speak of an alien race called wisps, with a rare colored energy, which is now imprisoned here, by the evil Dr. Eggman. Sonic, once arrived on the planet's entertainment, you can use immediately made aware of this rare power to help colored wisps in the escape! The Wii version of Sonic Colours combines both 2D and 3D gaming perspective, while the Nintendo DS version takes advantage of the characteristics of the double-screen console.

"The lively alien universe of Sonic Colours allows players to race at breakneck speed along amazing planets, each with its peculiarities and unique visual style." Comment on Gary Knight, Senior Vice President of Marketing SEGA. "In addition to classic Sonic gameplay, new power-wisps, they offer an innovative way to explore these new worlds and help Sonic to run faster than ever!"

Sonic Colors sees Sonic accelerating to adrenaline-pumping super speeds and blasting through obstacles in ways never before seen in a Sonic game. The alien Wisps featured in the game each have a unique “Color Power” that, once freed, Sonic is able to absorb while speeding through the various theme park inspired planets. The Wisp energy enables Sonic to create new paths through the stages by drilling through the ground (Yellow Drill) for example, or speeding through the stage as a laser (Cyan Laser). Stringing the Wisp power-ups together creates a combo that increases Sonic’s boost gauge even more quickly. Exclusive Wisp power-ups will be available for both Wii and the Nintendo DS versions, ensuring a unique and super speedy gameplay experience for Sonic fans everywhere.
Sounds very Flickies Island/Sonic CD-ish to me with some Kirby elements. Could be fun, just needs a good OST. I'm looking forward to it.

In related news, has anyone played SMG2 yet? Its pretty **** good. I'm probably going to 100% in the next day or two.

Sonic 2 has got to be the WORST of the original trilogy. Sonic 1 and 3K are better then it by country miles(prower).

That game had like 2 good stages, Casino Night and Metropolis Zone. The rest ranged from decent to annoying.

Sonic Adventure 2 sucks, Unleashed sucked, Heroes and Shadow were robot kill-fests disguised as Sonic games, Sonic CD/SA1/3D Blast/Knuckles Chaotix = best soundtracks.

Sonic 4 will be terrible. All the levels were leaked online already and its standard Advance trite except with more dumb homing attack spam and auto-pilot.

I haven't cared about Sonic for yonder, but Tails is SO ADORABLE <3 MY AVATAR~

Hey, Kudou. I heard you did Insanity and P90X. If you still got those and would be willing to lend it to me for however long, I would be extremely grateful. Not both, just one of em. Get back to me bruh.

stuff about new sonic
Huh. The gimmick actually doesn't sound too bad this time. Now I just hope that they can implement these things WITHOUT slowing down the gameplay.

Anyway, I'm gonna try and make it to either the one in June or Mr. Doom's tourney down in Wichita (probably this one) if someone's willing to get a carpool together. Also, who usually provides the housing?

I'm not concerned with slowing down the gameplay, but this really is the first time they're doing something that doesn't fit under all the usual negatives. For one they're actually improving upon this new style of Sonic with COMBO'ing for boost meter. Usually they're always begging fans that they've reached the non-existant "middle-ground."

Its also lacking the shock factor of "SWORDS AND WEREHOGS" and the art direction is really showing Sonic Team's pixar-skills if anything. I feel weird its one of the few Sonic games I don't want to dismiss right away.

The premise is essentially just Kirby and Mario Galaxy-inspired but really if done right could be great in this style. If its just another story-book saga with tedious side missions I'll be disappointed, but at least the CG looks pretty:

I'm hype for this game just because I like the whimsical approach, even if its just another way to cash in with kids by borrowing a bit from Nintendo.

The first three games are about even in my book since sonic 1 didnt have spin dash and sonic 3 had carnival zone. If anything Id say Sonic 2's the best of the 3

Heroes, Shadow, and 80% of Unleashed may have been bad, but Sonic Adventure 2 Battle is the best Sonic game ever
I never played CD, 3D Blast, or Chaotix so meh

I dont really care about Sonic 4 as of right now

Fixed

Sonic and Knuckles was probably my favorite Sonic game, though that's probably due to Knuckles being my favorite character in the series (Blaze is probably second). I still have to play Knuckles Chaotix though.

Sonic 1 was best without a spindash, its level design was more momentum based. Its probably the easiest of the three to get into while not being incredibly easy/boring in difficulty (Sonic 3). Also you forgot to include Springyard Zone into your logic.

Sonic 2's level design was just cheaply done and there were some I just couldn't care for. Hill Top Zone, Wing Fortress etc.

Sonic CD takes some time to get used to the different level habits that it develops because you can't play it like the rest of the trilogy, and you actually have to figure the layouts somewhat to get anywhere at all. Its a great game though just don't expect it to be very similar.

Sonic & Knuckles or Sonic 1 are probably my favorites, with Adventure and Sonic CD behind.

Nah Jlo. People like Sonic 2 for the same reason they love Adventure 2, neither are really Sonic games and therefore don't exist to me.

Funnily enough the Advance series went the same direction with the 2nd of the trilogy being considerably dumbed down, lazy or forgettable overall.

Sonic just doesn't like the number 2. Sonic 2, SA2B, Sonic Advance 2, Sonic 2006... Good thing Rush strayed from this plague with Rush Adventure.

Sonic sucks, nuff said. I liked the pokemon discussions more than this. Christ.

Everyone here, if you have a 360 or PS3. I suggest buying Red Dead Redemption, it's f'ing amazing. If you like free roam games that is.

i've done Insanity already and im currently doing RevAbs right now. im not gonna do P90x until im finished with RevAbs just to clarify. well i have Insanity backed up in my hard drive and i could burn them all for u to own ur own copy if u wanted it. i could also type the workout calander on Word or something and email that to u so u would know which workout to do on which days.

Insanity is such a good and hard workout. if u do every workout without skipping any days for the whole 2 months with good nutrition, u will have such good results its mind blowing. if ur up for the challange then i'll hook u up for sure

i agree exactly with Bolt here. the pokemon talk was way more better imo since i've never really cared for any sonic games. i was thinkin about getting Red Dead Redemption but i already have way too many games going on at once to pick up another ps3 game.

Someone should sell me their 360. I'm willing to pay 200 for it. Peeks, where you at!? Seriously, I need one.
man u just love spending money dont u lol. i think that i've already bought everything that i was craving to get so im so chill right now its not even funny. u should so definitely buy all my cards from me this friday. that would help me out soo much if u did.

You can probably buy my wii. Its modded and everything. Im selling all my game systems, at most I'll keep my PS2 and maybe not even that lol. PS2 Emulators are getting good.
i dont think that i can ever sell any of my Sony systems. my life runs off of rpgs and Sony are the only people which delivers. PS2, PS3, PSP, and NDS is all that i need to function lol

Sonic 2 was easily the fastest, therefore most realistic, because sonic is supposed to be the fastest thing around town.

Fastest=realistic=best.

Get at it hater!

Dude, if you could do that, I would be eternally grateful :')

Also, if you burned me a copy, can I still run it on a DVD player and on a TV?
Because having it on my computer would be somewhat troublesome for me since I don't have a laptop or anything and my room is M&M mini n such.

aaamazing list if i must say so myself.

just if you cut something out make sure it isn't mass effect they are too good


I felt I should address this despite the fact that it's way old. Thanks though future, I have pretty decent taste in video games :chuckle:

I forgot starcraft 2 as soon as I can get a new computer.
I also need to get God of War 3 from someone. Frick, I got a lot of nerding out to do this summer. Forget getting a job.

You sound like you'd like Sonic Megamix. Look it up one of these days lol.

Sonic 2 was only the fastest because it put the speed right in front of you, usually with something cheap right after it like terrible pits or badly done obstacles. 3K has the speed its just implemented in a smarter way.

yes u can, i've made copies before for a friend and it works just like any plain dvd. the only issue is how am i gonna give them to u. i can have them all made sometime today but i most likely wont be at the monthly cause i have other things in the ways on saturday. will u be down here on friday? if so then i'd be able to give u the dvds sometime on friday before i go to work or something. if not then we can figure something out

Give them to me tomorrow and you should make a copy for me too as a throw-in for the cards. =)
i do not have enought dvds to do that lol, if i made a copy for u as well then that would be my fourth set that i've made for other people. i've made a set for my friend Zach, and goin to make one for my friend Inh, and now you and tyser as well. home workout dvds r the best things ever invented \(^o^)/. well if u can come over today/tomorrow with like 10 dvds or something, i can make ur set and tyser's set at the same time. also it would give me the chance to give u all of my extra cards that i dont want
