I just came across this.  Apparently Sega is working on a new Sonic the Hedgehog game for current-gen consoles called "Sonic Unleashed".  Normally people would be universally rolling their eyes at this point, except for one thing...it has 2D gameplay.  Well, there seems to be a small amount of 3D gameplay, but it looks more in the style of Sonic and the Secret Rings, so those part might not be too bad.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjxnhXs7Mqs" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjxnhXs7Mqs</a>

I guess after all the great reviews of the Sonic Rush and Sonic Advance games Sega realized that maybe there was a reason why everyone hates the newer console Sonic games...they don't work in 3D.

Discuss.

I'm pretty sure it is.  There was a bunch of high-res screenshots leaked a while back and Sega trademarked the title "Sonic Unleashed".

It looks pretty good, I just hope it doesn't dissolve back into "Hold the right button and complete the level" kind of gameplay. I want to play Sonic the Hedgehog, not an interactive, flashy movie.

I don't think that it's so much that the games were 3D, it's just that Sonic Team sucks at making games.

I liked it at the time, but then again, I was like 12....  It's hard to say how I'd feel about it if I were to play it again.

I don't think that it's so much that the games were 3D, it's just that Sonic Team sucks at making 3D games.

Fix'd.  They were good up until the move to three-dimensional gameplay.  For instance the original NiGHTs was epic.  Although it was a 3D game it was played on a two-dimensional plane...and was great.

Wow, this actually looks decent for a change. :) And they didn't use music with lyrics (music in the older Sonic games was amazing)!

Yes, they tried this with Sonic Rivals. And Sonic Rivals 2.

Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 were great, they just need to learn to go back to Sonic with that, fix up the controls and camera, and improve the level design a bit. Not give us more 2.5D games that are usually kind of bad.

Anyway, I haven't played a non-retro sonic game in ages, not since the first Sonic Advance. Well, I've played a demo of Sonic the Hedgehog 360 for about five minutes, but that's about it. Still, who knows, this may just revive Sonic in my eyes.

Sonic Rivals was basically a racing game.  This seems more like Sonic Rush, (which is arguably the best Sonic game in years).  I haven't played Sonic Rivals, but if you were referring to Sonic Rush when you mentioned 2.5D games....something much be wrong with you.

My brother should be getting a Wii in June, maybe I'll get a copy at some point...

Anyways, I found Sonic Adventure to be quite good, and it was 3D. Maybe they just lost their edge as more games were released. Think about it, guys. Perhaps it's not that they're not good at making 3D games. Maybe they're just not coming up with overall good games anymore.

The only one I like is "Live and Learn". The rest are usually terrible, especially Sonic R songs.

I've never been a fan of Sonic, but this actually looks good.

It might not be as fun as Mario Galaxy, but it has to potential to compete if it makes it's way to the Wii.

Live and Learn is kinda okay too. And how could you not love Sonic R's music?! Its so cheesy and corny its hilarious! XD

Racing game my behind. Sonic Rivals is... well, okay, it is a racing game... But it wasn't all that good... At least not the second one (WHY DO YOU PIT TAILS AGAINST SILVER?! SILVER IS 300 TIMES FASTER THAN TAILS!!! DON'T KILL TAILS!!! JEESH!!!)

*I also liked Sonic Adventure... and Adventure 2. O_O

Looks pretty awesome... though it still kind of looks like, as Kylink said, "Hold the right button and complete the level" kind of gameplay...
