the bolded letters on the post spell out Red Earring. Does this mean the new Sonic will suck?? Stay tuned!

EDIT:

let the bullshit begin.

Has this unviewable live feed revealed anything interesting yet?

I watched it for like an hour. It was fun seeing Sonic Team staff handling old SEGA consoles and talking about old Sonic titles (even if I didn't understand a word).

The highlight of the Sonic section was seeing Iizuka putting a Sonic 3 into a Sonic & Knuckles cart.

Nothing new revealed from what I could tell. The usual Hatsune Miku stuff and the Shining RPGs.

I wish i knew Japanese. Was really interested to hear what was being discussed, i gotta imagine iizuka said some amusing things.

I saw myself in my Shinobi costume from the Sonic Boom 2012 Recap. Video within a video. Takenobu Mitsuyoshi was on the broadcast showing off his tracks free styling with his arms like Professor K. You guys probably saw my "Get it Mitsuyoshi!" comment during the stream.

I was intrigued that they completely skipped Sonic 2.

It was cool, but nothing announced.

Meanwhile on the Sega Blog fans are going insane, trying to gather every clue possible so that the next Sonic game is Sonic Adventure 3. As much as I'd like a SA3, it sickens me really.

On the other hand some have suggested that the bold letters mean Her Red Ring and Ring Herder.

I'm pretty sure it's "red herring" as someone already stated.  It's a nice way to say something cryptic without saying anything at all.

if you've seen the latest tweets by Ruby and Kellie, don't get all crazy over them...

Don't take the Texas thing too seriously, it's a red herring. lol

I was lurking ssmb, and someone there brought up a good point..

you know who is located in texas? Gearbox! SEGA Community Team is probably there doing something related to Aliens, and they probably thought they would tease us for laughs, cause that's how they roll. They LOVE teasing the Sonic fanbase, they do it every opportunity they get.

But the fact they are teasing Sonic related stuff means there will be an announcement soon. Let's just hope its this week and not next week. I mean you guys have seen how they can drag out the teasing, Sonic 4 is a great example of how evil they can get

so yes.. we've been trolled AGAIN lmao
