So any idea when they're going to do something like the countdown again? I'm hoping its soon, I'm eager for some more information. Hopefully, a gameplay video this time.

Sega needs to stop trying to re-animate the dead. Let Sonic die peacefully so we can still have the fond memories of the genesis games and NOTHING else.

Question, would people want Sonic to talk in this game, and have lots of cutscenes like the Adventure series, or would you want something more simple like the original Mega Drive games?

As long as he's not making out in any of them, I wouldn't complain. Some of the cutscenes have been quite enjoyable.

Agreed. The Sonic Adventure cutscenes were great, so as long as they don't do anything over-dramatic (eyes Sonic 06...) we should be good.

Says the guy with an avatar of a character from a series that's been around for TWENTY YEARS. Which no doubt grew stale for some after the sixth installment.

I don't know how to say this so Ill just be as blunt as I can. Are you an idiot? What does my avatar have to do with my previous statement. Did I say "Recent sonic games have been terrible in contrast with their genesis counter-parts. Not like the FF series which has been fresh and amazing since the first and I'm an avid obvious supporter of this because I have a ****ing black mage in my avatar." Please enlighten me on how you jumped from point A to point B.

The point that I was trying to make that people shouldn't just say a super old franchise die because some people might still like it.

The same way Brightside was butthurt because he still like Final Fantasy even after 13 games and various spinoffs when I said that should series should drop dead after FF6 as an example (and I only said that as an example, I don't really believe it like the FF elitists do)

i seriously laughed out loud.
Why, it's not like the person was wrong. Considering you can just rush through the levels of the Genesis games without getting killed (which I still can't fathom how people IGNORE this) And consider that a new character has been added in most Sonic games starting with Sonic 2 and that most incarnations of Sonic display him as friendly, outgoing, and social, logically it's weird to imagine Sonic having an adventure by himself most of the time.

Also I don't really read or comprehend English that well so if I seem to be talking out of my *** disregard that because I'm not the brightest.
lol you still haven't answered my question yet. Are you an idiot?

What are you saying then?!
You clearly said let sonic die so we can have fond memories of the genesis games. Thats clearly saying that the genesis games are better then the new installlments.

http://www.sonicthehedgehog4.com/

It leads to SEGA's homepage NOW but who knows.

Edit: Deepening the research with the guys at SEGA forum, it is discovered that if you enter www.sonicthehedgehogX.com where X= 1 through 10, they all leads to SEGA's homepage. Now this may seem discouraging, but who.is displayed something rather interesting.

Now here's three theories I've came up with:
1) SEGA is playing a trick on us and used an entirely different registrar to throw us off.
2) All of them are own buy the same group (not SEGA, btw) and they somehow skipped four until last
3) The one we're all hoping for: Project Needlemouse is really called Sonic the Hedgehog 4

But no matter:

I take it your not the brightest either. How can you make ANY assumptions of my disposition towards the FF series just because I have a 8-bit Black Mage avatar. Please find my detailed posts where I obviously stated my approval of countless FF sequels and spin-offs. Please show me, I didn't even know I liked the FF series that much until Green Kirby was so kind enough to to point it out.

I love how on topic this is.

Anyone, tomarrow is the day that we get the final title, the first zone (if it ends up being Green Hill I'm going to cry) plus the bonus. I think that the bonus is going to be a game play video, personally.

Except he didn't assume anything about you. He just assumed you knew about Final Fantasy because of your avatar, and he didn't call you an elitist, just noted that Final Fantasy's been around four decades. You're the one who jumped to conclusions and started insulting people.

Also, you didn't actually address what they said. Nice job changing the subject, though.

I never made any assmptions about your dispositon of the final fantasy series. Where did i say that in any of my previous posts? I was talking about you dispostion with sonic. Again I said he pointed out your avatar for irony he never mentioned your like or dislike. flaming will get you nowhere...

So a little update:

Sega said:
That makes all of us – including, hopefully, you guys – very happy. The challenge has been bested within 48 hours, and as a result next week is going to be the Week of the Hedgehog! The celebration will begin next Tuesday on Hedgehog Day, (step aside, groundhog!) with a special massive swag giveaway and concept art reveal, and will lead into our biggest announcement going live as we approach next weekend. Trust us when we say that February is going to be a very good month.

Now then – to celebrate your success, we’d like to offer you guys additional rewards for continuing to send in your concept art – and some very awesome concept art, at that! So,for every 50 pieces of Concept Art (past 100), we will give away one extra piece of Sonic Merchandise during our Hedgehog Day giveaway!

Oh, and as another bonus, let’s go ahead and dispel away a little rumor that we’ve noticed in the comments:

Project Needlemouse is not an HD version of Sonic 1. These may be old badniks, but when we said all-new adventure, we meant it.
It looks like this week will be awesome! I'm looking forward to a greed next seven days!

It's pretty funny to see whiny Sonic fans crying over this update expecting as if they were expecting to see CGI cutscenes (if any) of the game when they forgot that updates were gonna last all through the week.

Not to mention that before this game, the fans were complaining that current Sonic games are not like the classics. And then when we were shown old school badniks, trippy flowers, and a neat little classic Sonic-esque jingle, people complained that it was gonna be a REHASH of the classics.

Seriously, what do people want in a Sonic game? It's like the fandom is too divided up like a pizza slices or worse... the Democratic Party.

"People?"

Nobody here that I saw has that specific view.

It's not the same people.

The fans that want old sonic games are more vocal when a new game comes out that goes further from its roots. The fans that don't want "rehashes" will be more vocal when a rehash comes out. It all seems like the same mob of people though.

Except this time, it's not the younger generation of fans. It was some of the OLDER ones that claim that this game is gonna be rehash because we only saw a lobster, a ladybug, and a flower so far.

I'm not talking about here. I mean people at Sega oriented forums

Is this a Sonic fandom only thing? Did people act like this when Mega Man 9 or New Super Mario Bros DS/Wii were announced?

Fandoms in general tend to universally have a very vocal group of morons.

The larger the fandom, the bigger this group.

EAST COAST HAS TO WAIT TILL 3AM?! Lol I pray to god they don't name this sonic 4. While I WANT them to make one, if they **** up i will never forgive them for ruining the perfect chronology of the original games.
