Doesn't make sense

[SeymourCake4Kitty]

I disagree on how the gameplay trailer says, "guess who's back" as if Sonic from the Genesis days is different from Sonic today. They're the same character for crying out loud. Did Disney do this with Epic Mickey when they bought back his original 1920s design? No.

It doesn't make sense how these two Sonics look different. They should look the same. Just face it you nitpicking spoiled brats...Sonic's appearance IS RETCONNED. Are they gonna have to explain why Sonic and his friends were 5 feet tall in Sonic The Hedgehog (2006)? No. Are they gonna have to explain why Knuckles had a pinkish color to him with different color shoes on as an antagonist from Sonic and Tails' perspective in Sonic 3 & Knuckles, but slightly changed his appearance when you played as him? No. Are they gonna have to explain why the Master Emerald change sizes from Sonic Adventure to Sonic Adventure 2? No. Are they gonna have to explain why Egg Golem from Sonic & Knuckles looks so much smaller than he did in Sonic Adventure 2? No. Are they gonna have to explain why items aren't placed in a TV box anymore? No. The simple explanation is that Sonic and other characters, and other items are REDESIGNED. It happened to Mario, Megaman, Mickey Mouse, Street Fighter characters, Mortal Kombat characters, Kingdom Hearts characters, and I could go on and on.

Amy had a flashback in Sonic Adventure when she was saved by Sonic from Metal Sonic. A scene that was directly from Sonic CD. Yes, a "classic era" Sonic scene. Neither Sonic nor Amy had their "classic" looks in that scene. Because of this, it doesn't make sense for Sonic to have two distinguished appearances if he's gonna meet his counter self from a different timeline.

And for those who are gonna say, "This is the Mobius Sonic". Don't make me laugh. Cannon Sonic was always and will be on Earth. According to the manual for Sonic the Hedgehog ('91), Green Hill Zone is referred to as "South Island". If you look at the map (or stage select screen) in Sonic Adventure 2, then you will realize that Green Hill Zone is an island located south of the map, below to the left of Green Forest. Sonic was on Earth since the genesis.

It's quite pathetic how a simple design can convince people this will "bring Sonic back". It's the gameplay that counts, not a design of a character.

Um... so what's your deal then? I don't understand the point you're trying to make... You hated it? It sucks to be you then.

GG. Now leave.

[KnucklesTheEchinda]

I second that.

Stop comparing to other characters. Sonic are not those guys, he is himself. But I do see what you mean and can agree a little bit. I'm not from the Genesis days so I think its kind of cool to see this.

and the purpose of this thread was?

>mfw It's another one of these threads.

Why do you people insist on fussing about such unimportant details? Go read a book or something.

It amazes me how people spend all this time making huge write ups because they are incapable of suspending disbelief in a game about a cartoon hedgehog. This game is about time holes and is apparantly going to make sence of it in due time. It's 2 Sonics because they are from a different era. It's already been confirmed they are the same Sonic, sorta.

I'll just deal with this statement since the rest is meh.

Obviously I think we would be a little upset if Classic Sonic was in a mech shooting things...or fighting an army of faceless monsters to a jazz soundtrack....but he isn't. He is right back in the 2D gameplay that a lot of people grew up with and have wanted to play again for quite some time. Sega didn't have to use the classic model for this, but they did. Classic Sonic is just the icing on the cake, IMO.

Let me be as polite as possible, OP:

You're overthinking it, and you're making yourself look like an idiot by doing so.

That is all.

EDIT: Incidentally, the Classic Sonic thing comes packed with more classic-like physics, platforming, and moveset, so your mention of it being the gameplay that counts rings a bit silly. They're bringing Classic Sonic back for this in more ways than one.
