Sonic Colors is looking pretty good though I dont get how that guy playing got a Rank S.And Sonic the Hedgehog 4 looks weird to me cause like the speed doesn't look really all that fast but i'll wait for reviews to see if i'll give it a chance and spend 10-20 bucks that it most likely cost.

Both look good. It's about time Sega is listening to fans clamoring for more side scrolling.

Sonic Colours has the right idea about hybrid 2-d/3-d.

I hope they succeed too. I haven't enjoyed a Sonic game since the first Sonic Rush for DS.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 better be as amazing as its predecessors, I understand it'll never compete with them in our hearts, but if the level design and the legacy is done justice, no reason why it can't be an instant classic!

Hey, Sonic Colors doesn't look to bad. I'll try to be optimistic.

Visually, Sonic Colors is looking pretty good. However, the Gameplay doesn't look as intense as Sonic 4, which is a definate purchase for me.

In the interview on Gametrailers one of the designers said the running animation is still going to be redone.

It hadn't been redone in time for e3.

I have read some negative comments on Sonic 4, but I have only found praise for Colors. I was expecting it to be the other way around. Still, I think both games have a great chance to be great!

The last three Sonic games released (All-Stars Racing, CIassic Collection, Winter Olympics) have Metascores of 78, 70, and 76 respectively. I know none of those are what you might consider a "main game" in the series (two spin-offs and a compilation), but it still shows progress in terms of how the game journalism industry views Sonic in general. The last Sonic racer (Zero Gravity) has a Metascore of 56. The last compilation (Sonic Gems Collection) sits at 64. And the previous Mario and Sonic had a Metascore of 70 on DS and 67 on Wii. While I myself don't take ANY review source seriously (I have enjoyed every Sonic title except Labyrinth and Sonic '06), it definitely demonstrates an attitude change. I've seen nothing but optimism about Colors Wii, Colors DS, Sonic 4, and even that Kinect title Free Riders. SEGA appears to have righted the ship.

Sonic Colors seems pretty sweet from what I've seen. I really hope it stays that way.

The graphics for the game look good. Not just good, but really really good. On Nintendo Level. I have ready only positive things about Sonic Colors, and IGN said they are more excited about it than Sonic 4.

i am sone waht strange. i dont like the old sonic games (or that many sonic games in general, i like Secret rings because it feels like a racing game though). i have played a lot of the older games, even owning them on mulitple systems (Mega Drive sonic 1 2 and 3) and on XBLA. I just dont find much gameplay in them.

I said it. The gameplay footage proves it. Sonic Colours is the great return to form for Sonic. It's looking fantastic. Sonic 4 on the other hand isn't looking that great. It looks like a great game on its own merits, but as a sequel to Sonic & Knuckles it looks pretty disappointing. It will be a fun game but I've just got to try not to compare it to Sonic 3 & Knuckles so much. Still, maybe they'll fix the issues before release anyway.

Meh. Looked decent. I think Sonic Colors could use the help fromthe masterminds that made Super Mario Galaxy....

I gotta say that at first I was very excited about Sonic 4, but upon watching these gameplay clips, my excitement level has indeeddecreased a tad.To me it looks like prettylazy effort by Sega, where they just tookthe same generic ideas from theoriginal game, and simply jazzed it up a bit with a new attack move and some fancier graphics. Why on earth they'd use the exact same first boss battle as the one from the original Sonic game is beyond me...

Why did Sonic keep uncurling in the air? I hope it was something the guy was pressing and not what automatically happens.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 looks pretty clunky to me. Something about it just seems off... And Sonic Colors looks surprisingly good.

I understand what you mean, but then again, Mario IMOhas been using basically the same platforming formula since 64 spiced up with some new bells and whistles, and today his games are amazing. And Bowser has been the main boss for a few decades. Maybe Sega going back to the basics is what is desperately needed for a Sonic revival, even if it means re-using ideas and locals from the first Genesis Sonic.
