Whether you're an old-school Sonic fan or one who's new to the hog's adventures, Sonic Colours looks set to cut fans' feelings right down the middle with its blend of high-speed platforming, multiplayer action and range of power-ups. The game's producer and head of Sonic Team, Takashi Iizuka, has said in an interview the game is an indication of the future path Sonic games will take.
SPOnG: Is it safe to say then, that future Sonic titles will have the same kind of colourful, simple, laid-back feel that Sonic Colours has?
Takashi Iizuka: Yes, that's the vision that I have.
Iizuka believes the Sonic series has become too serious, what with nocturnal transformations and so on, and wants to bring Sonic back to the high speeds and bright colours of his heyday. We'll have to wait and see if Sonic Colours is a step in the right direction for the blue one, but if going forward the series features fewer hedgehogs with guns then we'll be satisfied

Glory be.
I hope Sonic Colors is a fantastic game so all Sonic games will follow its footsteps.
Then again, pre-release hype states that this is looking better than Sonic 4.
What about my Sonic Adventure 3?? =(
Good.....but they also said that the game was aimed moreso at children (which I personally have no problem with, but......)
Good!
I just hope that that coop thing works at least ok. I love playing games together with buds, sharing the pain with others is awesome.
What? You mean they won't make another Sonic 2006? /JK
I hope to see the franchise turn around. I would rather have more fun games then boring games.
This game seems to be coming along nicely from what i played of the demo at the Summer of Sonic event in london last month.
AWWWWW. I was hoping for a new character like Silver... Maybe Purple the Revengehog . Jk Im soooo glad they are finally doing sonic right again.
That is great.
Well, this is good news. if the rest of the sonic games will be like this then i'll be a happy camper. so this means the rest of the portable sonic games will be like like sonic rush, right?
I don't mind.
I'll decide whether to moan about this or not when this game comes out first.
YES! Fantastic!
<3
Thanks SEGA! Finally you guys know what to do.
Well I liked Shadow the Hedgehog.
Good talk, good talk... I'll give props if the game delivers. Sonic Unleashed's daytime levels were a step in the right direction, so I'm not totally pessimistic about Sonic, but I will remain neutral on this until I at least see the review.
Great news! Sonic needs to be lighthearted so we don't see another wangst-fest like Shadow the Hedgehog (even though I rather liked that game ).
Hey I personally like bright colorful games, actually it doesn't really matter as long as the game itself is good.
This is good news, as long as Sonic Colors is a good game.
Does this look serious to you?
Yes, but really when the game was trying to act serious I couldn't stop laughing. So this is...A dissapointment. Campy dialog always brightens my day. That's why I need to pick up the new Batman game.
Sonic Unleashed started life as Sonic Adventure 3 (it's known as Sonic World Adventure in Japan) and from playing the 360 version it's very much in the SA vein.
It almost goes without saying I'm rather looking forward to this.
@24 Where do you people keep getting this idea from that it having adventure in the name makes it = sonic adventure 3?
For one thing, following that logic, it's supposed to be sonic adventure 4 as sonic rush adventure would be "3". Unleashed has nothing in common with either adventure game, other than the common elements that are in every sonic game, and it was so clearly based on sonic & secret rings for the day stages that I can't fathom where people get this idea
So Sonic no longer does what Nintendon't?
@linkstrikesback The hub-based town stages are very much like Sonic Adventure's, even though there's not as much of a sense of connection between them.
Perhaps this quote sums it up best though.

Hey Sonic! Why so serious?
