I really don't get some of the complaints

"Mega man 9 style is the way to go"

No, new graphics is better than old graphics. The mega man 9 way would only be playing to peoples nostalgia and take away any chance to make new fans that the game has. If Nintendo could do a 'New' Super Mario Bros, then I expect Sega to be fully capable of making a 'New' Sonic.

There's a reason I said Sonic deserves the Mega Man treatment. Sega is so out of touch with what Sonic is about, that reverting to the old source code would yield physics and controls closer to the original Genesis games, rather than the goofy looking physics in that video. The level design also looks alien to me, and reusing some assets would help ensure that the level design is true to the older games as well.

 

Also, another crappy Sonic game confirmed, Dimps is making it.

The thing is, that nothing less than a full quality Sonic game with new visuals and great playcontrol and physics should be expected from Sega. Sega is the only company that has given Nintendo a run for it's money and the only company that has been able to compete toe to toe with Nintendo in it's prime (Sony and MS have not). I refuse to believe that Sega has collapsed to the point where they can't even make a good new Sonic game anymore.

What? Dimps? I know that they have a decent track record but come on Sega. Are 2D Sonic not worth being treated as a full blown AAA effort anymore?
