That looks amazing! Fingers crossed that this is like Sonic Adventure on the DC XD.

o.O kewl.

The second video shows some cool physics when he breaks the wall's apart..

It doesn't seem to look so crazy fast as the other games, which is a good thing cause you didn't have much control over sonic at high speeds.

You think this looks amazing? It looks noticably worse than last year's target renders, and they weren't too hot either. Especially the low res textures are awful. Can't say I'm impressed.

Pick the worst picture there why don't you ..

Doesn't look better to me. Basically we are expecting a bit too much from games that aren't striving for photorealistic. David Jaffe was right it isn't straight up graphics that makes a game look impressive its about all the little things that add to the overall experience. Take for example when a dev was making a ps2 game or a xbox game imagine if he had just a little bit more power? What if he was given exactly half of the ps3's or 360's power to complete his xbox or ps2 game that game would be a masterpiece.

Basicallly upgraded graphics are good, but developers should use the extra power wisely and not just try to bank off a higher polygon model or a more crisp character model. Hell its why i think ghost recon is such a success. The devs didn't overlook what was most important.

Putting alot more care into the look of that smoke and that picture would've looked better up top. They really did seem to drop the ball with textures here its like they not putting any work into their defining franchise.

Caught myself not practicing what I preach. I wont judge this game via a screenshot because it will most likely look alot better when being played on the actual console.

looks alot better. Not that I will buy it, but it looks good.

The videos look alot better than the screens and they are like a year old. Plus they are trying to keep a decent framerate going too.

I wonder if they'll put Chaos in again...

And don't forget it Sonics anniversary year.
And if i remember rightly Sonic games are always released the same time of year, which is september sometime.
Now here's hoping for Nights into dreams :)

It doesn't look Gears of War-ish, so I like it.

I love this part of the article:

Can't wait to play this game :)
