Now that we know when Sonic is coming, why not take a gander at some movies shown at the Japan Expo -- which was held in Paris, oddly enough. The videos have no sound it seems, but they do give us a glimpse at the telekinetic powers of Silver (the white one) and show off one of Sonic's levels, too.
Also in the video: a rather lengthy load screen and a cameo by some guy's face. Enjoy.




1. Consider the following:
[] All of the 3D Sonic games, even the good ones, have been mere shadows of the original 2D affairs.
[] It is possible to use 3D graphics and beautiful particle effects to great an awesome 2D game. Consider Megaman Maverick Hunter X for the PSP, Klonoa and its sequels, Pandemonium, and so forth.
[] 2D platforming is far superior to 3D platformer; there is two much fiddling with the camera and other useless elements that hinder gameplay.
Thus, from these points, I conclude that they should totally revamp the upcoming next-gen Sonic game to play strictly 2D. Keep the updated graphics, lose the unnecessary play dimension.
