With Sonic’s 20 year anniversary fast approaching (not that Sega needs an excuse or anything), a new, next-generation Sonic game has been announced for late 2011, apparently taking us across his “three defining eras” – the Robotnik era, the Eggman era and the current, post-Cream the Rabbit era.
Similar to Sonic Adventure 2, stages can be played with either Modern, green-eyed Sonic or Classic, chubby Sonic, with appropriate moves depending on the era. It certainly looks like classic Sonic (more so than Sonic 4, at any rate) and 2010’s Sonic Colours was well received, so let’s just hope Sonic Team seeks to emulate the good times, rather than the bad.
