Some quick notes
>2.5D gameplay (no 3D sections at all)
>Uses the classic designs
>Can switch between characters Heroes style
>Playable characters are Sonic, Tails and Knuckles

>>321564012
Sounds pretty alright if true.
What console is it for?
>>321564012
Do you let your uncle molest you too?
>>321564012
>uses the classic designs
Aaaand you just ruined the illusion
After Generations Sega stated that they had no future plans for Classic Sonic
>>321564012
was itfun
>>321564258
I tested on PC and Xbox One, they're outsourcing a PS4 port not sure about Wii U. There's no handheld version either they're trying to focus on a console experience.
>>321564012
pics or fuck off
>>321564382
What if they changed their minds?
>>321564417
Yes, a little better than Generations in my opinion.
>>321564382
All Sonic 25th anniversary material has shown Classic Sonic so far, so a lot of people including fake tester here are guessing they changed their mind.
>>321564564
Doubt it, they said they only brought him back because it was the 20th anniversary
If they were okay with using him more i'm sure they would've put him in Sonic 4 seeing as how many people wanted him in that
Forgot to mention the working title is Sonic triple
>>321564012
are his arms blue?
>>321564012
this will only be good if it does the following things
>Ditches boost and brings back spin dash
>doesn't let you have 99 lives
>Lose all your rings on damage
>only base elemental shields
>as many colours as acid trippingly possible
>eggman is the only boss character throughout the entire game/last boss isn't his creation that backstabs him
>>321564012
>AMA
Go the fuck back to reddit you stupid sack of garbage.
>>321564835
Nope, Boom Sonic's are though. It's also hilariously jarring playing with Boom skins because the environments don't change to accomodate.
Is it just me or do you guys feel like Sega's just gonna do a collection pack?
Seriously, I don't know why but I feel like they're just gonna do another collection pack
>>321564862
All of those things are true except for elemental shields (there was only the blue shield) and the colors are pretty trippy but not as trippy as the classic games.
>>321565062
actually I don't care about element shields now. THey made their games too easy.
My uncle works for Valve and I know the real truth behind yesterday's drama. AMA
>>321565062
you playtested it through to the final boss? so it's totally done?
>>321564382
>After Generations Sega stated that they had no future plans for Classic Sonic
are you dense, next year is going to be the Year of Classic Sonic
Tomy's sonic toy lineup for 2016 is all Classic
I know Sonic fans are the bottom of the barrel but people don't actually believe this crap right?
>>321565243
I was given a stripped down build with a level select menu so I didn't have to sit through cutscenes or a anything like that. I played every stage in the game, and like Gens can finish them insanely quickly but they're fun.
>>321564731
are you retarded. they're not gonna have Classic Sonic replace the one already starring in Sonic 4, tard
>>321564012
>Classic designs
There's absolutely nothing wrong with modern Sonic's design, it's just associated with mediocre to bad games.
>sonic fans hype themselves for classic sonic game
>more and more leaks pop up
>looking good so far
>2016
>Sega reveals Fire & Ice was actually the 25th anniversary game
I know they won't do this but damn it'd be funny
>>321565391
>this crap
what crap? everything from sega is pointing towards Classic Sonic being their focus for 2016. they also made a number of statements about how they know their games have been shit and need more time to be finished properly, and be more fun, and etc etc.
Sega has taken their fandom's complaints to heart moreso in the last year than any other company besides maybe Capcom.
>Shenmue 3
>slowly porting every Sega game they can to Steam (they said releases will be staggered over a year or two)
>Sega promising to revive old fan-favorite IPs
>all upcoming merch and promo shit for Sonic anniversary is Classic themed
>Dreamcast 2
Sega took forever but they are finally getting the ball rolling again.
>>321566026
>Sega promising to revive old fan-favorite IPs
Jet Set Radio 3 when?
How's the music?
This is important.
>>321566178
They seem to have a LOT of shit in the pipeline right now, but it's more of a possibility than it was even a year ago.
>>321564012
>Sonic Team
>Bug testing
I already don't believe you
>>321566193
Really good actually, has the Sonic vibe back and they kind of mixed Genesis sounds with modern EDM percussion/synths. The music for the first stage got stuck in my head actually.
>>321566193
This is very important, OP
Although I assume good, music's one thing the sonic franchise has always seemed to get right
>totally ignoring 3D
If this isn't a smaller download title or a handheld game then it's already a bad sign regardless of anything else.
>>321566409
Hey you should thank me when it comes out. There was a massive bug where Spin Dashing against a wall and switching characters over and over let you fall through the floor, was labelled as critical which means it must absolutely be fixed
>>321566409
Haha, the "sonic team don't take gaems seriously xddd " meme
They do take their time testing, they only don't when they're really fucked for time
>>321564012
So they copied Sonic 2 Heroes?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxHFWnLJQPw
>>321566409
Sonic Team didn't make Sonic Boom U, if that is what you're referring to.
>>321566709
I've actually never seen this, man that's pretty funny
>>321566026
>>Dreamcast 2
Allow me to shed a light on this. It's not impossible, but unlikely.
Sega's most profitable IPs are on PC and smartphones.
These games couldn't possibly work on a different platform. Sega simply moved on.
>>321566865
"Not impossible, but unlikely" can be applied to the idea of Sega doing anything smart.
>>321566865
Dreamcast 2 wasn't even confirmed, it was just some stupid change.org petition.
I'd love to see more Sega hardware as much as anyone on this board, but it seems really unlikely. There's no market for it except for a handful of fans who have a nostalgia boner for '90s Sega. It would be a novelty device at best, not a console capable of competing with the other big three.
>>321566576
What a terrible age we live on
>>321566410
>The music for the first stage got stuck in my head actually.
Sing it and write it here.

>>321565391
There was actually a few legit leaks on Lost World and Sonic Boom on /v/. Not that anyone should believe OP, he's obviously talking shit, but it has happened in the past.
>>321567109
>dreamcast would be smart
They've got the right idea about smartphone games, and have solid IPs on every platform imaginable. Sonic Boom is really profitable and that's all Sega cares about.
Atlus is also still going strong.
What's so stupid about what Sega is currently doing?
>>321567202
Nothing is ever confirmed. That doesn't change the likelihood of the occurrence though.
Why would you love Sega hardware though? what could you possibly gain from yet another system under your TV? realistically you gain nothing. You would only lose out.
>>321564012
So Sega went from using Mario 64 for inspiration to using NSMB?
>>321565692
>There's absolutely nothing wrong with modern Sonic's design
Really? Do you seriously believe this?
>special snowflake green eyes
>quills long and look like stupid hair
>pointlessly tall and gangly
>"I'M SO COOL" personality worse than it ever was as classic Sonic
>>321567407
>what could you possibly gain from yet another system under your TV?
Why do I spend $70 on SNES cartridges when I could just as easily emulate the games? I just like collecting shit man. Lots of people feel the same way.
But you're argument is entirely correct though, there's no logical reason for Sega to make more hardware, which is why they won't do it.
>>321567546
All they did was make him seem older. Which is what they were going for
And he was always cocky since day one, Sega just pulls it out more with modern sonic
>>321567497
The only time Sonic really drew inspiration from Mario 64 was in the overworld of Sonic Adventure. Maybe 06 was sort of similar? It's been a long time since I played that.
I would enjoy seeing a Sonic game with really big, open levels, instead of just going from point A to point B every time.
I'd buy a Dreamcast 2.
If the Dreamcast, GC, Vita and Wii U taught me anything is that dead consoles are better than "alive" ones.
>>321568085
The Vita is such an amazing little device. I guess being "dead" helps with the quality control.
>literally no proof
100% faggot
>>321564382
That was before they completely fucked the franchise sideways. They'll have to try anything to save Sonic now.
Also, if this is true, I may have a seizure out of sheer joy. I despise what Sonic has become, but I have so many fond memories of playing the classic games. This sounds fucking immense.too bad it's likely bullshit
>>321567940
>All they did was make him seem older
???
What is this supposed to mean? Classic Sonic wasn't a child.
>>321564012
You forgot the blurry screenshot, OP
Does anyone have a screencap of that "Digital Sonic 25" thing from July last year? It mentioned the name Sonic Runners and it being a mobile game months before there was any copyright info on it or an announcement.
>>321568691
That's how Sega always explained it, that they were just trying to get away from the cutesy classic sonic and to a more older looking Sonic

How are the physics?
Will there be cutscenes?
How's Sonic's model? Is it just the Generations one?
>>321564012
>no espio or shadow
sounds like trash
>>321565391
sonic runners was leaked here senpai
>>321570524
Don't expect classic rolling but it felt a lot better than Generations did. The control in mid air feels closer to Sonic 1. There are cutscenes but I have no idea about their content. Same model new animations.
>>321570830
Thanks senpai. Last question and this is bordering on autistic but is he still colored Generations-light blue or regular blue
>>321571243
No problem. Closer to Sonic 3 blue
Wait a fuck.
http://www.sonicstadium.org/2015/12/tomy-reveals-25th-anniversary-toyline-for-july-2016/
>Found in Tomy’s catalogue for 2016 are a bunch of classic Sonic toys complete with a new version of the 25th anniversary logo. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Eggman are set to get a plush toy release and Sonic, Tails and Knuckles are also going to get a figure release with a collectable coin.
>Now these are clearly just mockup images as they use the Boom figures as place holder images and official art as place holders for the plush line.
>Boom versions as the "mockup", which you can play as if you want in the new game
That and all of SEGA's 2016 Sonic 25th anniversary stuff is Classic Sonic themed (even F4F's 25th sonic statue is required to be Sonic, according to them).
Either OP is full of shit and a really good fact checker, or we have our answer to what the 25th anniversary game is.
>>321572228
*(even F4F's 25th sonic statue is required to be Classic Sonic, according to them).
Fixed, sorry.
>>321572228
OH SHI...
Is the spamdash still there? Do they go all out with the visuals like Generations or is it more conservative?
>>321567673
>I just like collecting
Ah, you'll get over that phase. Putting value into (mass produced) things instead of memories is just something we all go through. There's no right or wrong. It's just illogical from my point of view.
>>321564012
>2.5D
Fuck. I'll never have a brand new sonic game with 2d sprites.
>>321566026
Crazy Taxi 3 remake perhaps?
>>321564012
Sure thing buddy.
>>321564505
that's how we know you're lying, it's definitely gonna be on Wii U
I don't like 2d sonic games, or even most of the 3d ones, I only like Sa2
>game is based on the Classic designs
>but can somehow switch to the much lankier and taller Boom designs
