That whole video is probably just using custom used tracks by the editors.

Where else would they find a song that bad if not from Crush 40.  Don't be naive.

[Radrappy]

false alarm!  That song was "my body" by We are Scientists.

I'm super relieved!

Christ almighty some people are such melcontents, it must be hard work never being happy with anything ever. I pitty your future wives!

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that was in relation to me.

Those screen-shots look very nice, but calling them 'wank worthy' or saying they are the most beautiful thing you've ever seen in gaming makes me think people are gushing just a little bit.

Having said that, I did go back and look at them again, and admittedly, they look nicer than I remembered. At the same time though, I'm just not expecting much from this game, especially after I didn't share the love for Sonic Colours.

The graphics are nice, I guess I'm just getting bitter about Sonic as well.

As for 'never being happy with anything ever', I was perfectly happy with a number of games this year and last, do you remember how much I loved Bayonetta and Yakuza 4 for example? Or even *shock* non-Sega games like Mafia 2 and Marvel vs Capcom 3? I may as well accuse you of never liking anything ever because you don't play EA games.

I enjoyed Mafia II as well, I mean the game was pretty much crap outside of the storyline, but it was a good storyline. As for the graphics, I think it is mainly the art direction, I think the art direction is beautiful.

Frankly it is one of the best looking games I have seen in the past couple of years, not because it has cutting edge graphics, rather its' art direction is the kind we see so rarely nowadays.

Crap gameplay in Mafia 2? huh? It great shooting and driving and some really well-designed missions. This isn't the place to discuss though, we can continue in 'what are you playing' or somethining if you want!

I also think I was being harsh on the screenshots, the more I look, the more I like them.

Glad to hear it : ) I think the game looks beautiful.

Classic Sonic is a hard dude not to like, you'd have to be a heartless Nintendo fanboy to hate him. Or Storm.

In response to some of the earlier posts about the game potentially having a song I would say it is very likely. From my perspective songs have been a part of the Sonic games ever since Sonic 2 (Sweet Dream by Dreams Come True) and Sonic CD (Sonic Boom/ Sonic You Can Do Anything.) Personally, I've really liked almost every song to come out of the Sonic series and I feel that the lyrics usually do a good job of capturing Sonic's character and what his current adventure is about. So I think Sonic Generations is most likely going to have a song in it somewhere and I hope it's one of the best ones yet. =)

I was /half/ joking... half.

Well it's about as good as  a Green Hill would look in HD. Don't know what some of you were expecting.

I'm pretty excited about this game. It's been far too long since Sonic Team has done something nice for our little blue companion. When I watched the trailer I didn't really think anything of it, it's just eye candy. I am excited for another update to the classic play. Sonic 4 really made me remember how much I like the that style of play, and what makes Sonic games so great! So, seeing SEGA do another game like that is pretty exciting.

From the screen shots of the game, it looks fine. I mean it's not the most spectacular looking game in the world. IMO, it's the best looking sonic game... so far. Though, I'm on biting my tongue on that one till I see more zones.

It's going to be quite interesting to see how they divide up 20 years of 'history'(I really don't know what they mean by that, gameplay?). Here's my prediction of the game if they do a liner time line:

Begging: Awesome      

Middle: Ass      

End: Pretty good

I think It's going to be a great game, none-the-less. Well that's saying they won't put... like cities n' shit in this game. Sonic interacting with humans that aren't Robotnik? The fuck?

[Barry the Nomad]

People shit all over Sonic 4 (and I'm not saying they shouldn't), but one of my favorite aspects of it that I think goes unmentioned is that it brings back the structure of the classics, which I sorely missed. I'm taking about 2-3 acts, boss, access special stages at the end of an act, collect all the emeralds to get a special ending and Super Sonic. Hopefully Generations picks up on this, because I'd love to have 2-3 classic Sonic acts per zone, the return of special stages to collect emeralds and unique bosses per zone.

[max_cady]

But going back into Sonic 4. What's interesting to me is that not only it incorporates the classic game structure, it merges with Sonic Adventure-esque type gameplay.

Every at one of the two acts had some sort of gimmick, if you will.

Splash Hill Zone had swinging vines, Casino Street had cards and cannons, Lost Labyrinth had dynamite section and mine carts...
