Seems this "saga" goes parallel to the big consoles' ones. The first ones had their own style, both of the second ones were more centered in the action and the speed (and were worse gameplay-wise, IMO), and now...

Both Heroes and Advance 3 work by teams and in both you "use" your partner/s.

But in this one looks like you can do your own team. Cool! Hope it's not as "keep running, running and running and then run more" as Advance 2, but that's just me.

EDIT: Wonder what that key might be...

Oboromaru. Yup

seems they're all "one-eyed" masked guys

now. Just coincidence.

Advance 2 wasn't that bad...you had to know the levels inside out to get all the Emeralds and unlock everything.

Hmm...these screens are too polished to be fake. Teamplay in 2D? Sounds interesting. I hope it's pulled off well.

And...WHY IS THAT LITTLE BITCH CREAM STILL THERE?!

Wow, talk about a fast reply!

Yeah, well, it's just my opinion. I'm not saying it's bad, it's just I didn't like it as much as the first one (I admit I haven't played it much, but...). But we've already had this discussion before, never mind.

No, no, fake they are not. They're from Sega according to the source, vandal.net, a Spanish VG online mag.
EDIT: Duh... I forgot to write the 'real thing', about the team system. I think it'll be really pulled off well, just look at that one with Sonic grabbing Tails or Cream riding Knuckles, guess the interaction won't be just the usual Tails grabbing Sonic for a flight. And it's really interesting to me that you'll miss one of the 'specialties' (hope I didn't invent that) no matter which team do you play with, you'll always miss the speed chara (Sonic), the flying chara (Tails, Cream) or the strong chara ("Nakurusu"), so either all of them'll have the same abilities (a la Advance 2) or the gameplay'll really vary depending on the team you choose. No?

Hmmm... I deduce you don't like Cream. Am I wrong? :p Yeah, well, not my favourite chara either. Hoping for Amy, Shadow 'n Rouge (hey, and maybe Chaos, since 'it' was in Battle) in there. And with their own style, please.

Advance 2 wasn't as good as the first one... and Cream is HORRIBLE.

The first Sonic Advance was clunky as hell.

I preferred Sonic Advance 2 over it by far.

And yes, I hate Cream. She should die, and very horribly, please.

And if Shadow isn't a playable character in this one I'm going to shoot someone.

One thing I find a little disappointing in these screenshots is the level design. It looks like more of the same to me. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Sonic fan, and I enjoyed both Advance titles (the second one was way better though), but aren't you getting a little tired of "the bright, casino-like stage", "the factory stage with lots of spikes", etc? I want to see some real innovation there.

However, I did kind of like the music stage in Advance 2, and hopefully they'll do something fun with the city stage pictured in the screenshots.

The Green, Hilly starting stage, the lava stage and the ice stage are the other three you always have in a sonic game, it wouldn't be sonic without it!

So...how about those...things....

Ditto. I liked Sonic Advance 2's music. The game was kind of reptitive and finding those Emeralds was really hard. That sucked. I didn't even bother to try.

Let's not forget the final stage based in space! You pretty much need these stages in Sonic games. Could you imagine a Mario game without the obligatory greeny, hills with eyes stage or the lava stage?

I loved both of the SA games (2 just a little more than 1), love Cream and Cheese, and I'm excited about this next one. In fact, I'm currently having a blast playing through Sonic Battle.

Ah, Sonic. Where would I be without thee?

I didn't like Sonic Heroes -_-...that flying hability is really annoying and slowdown the game's action

Another Sonic game with teams..bad news (at least for me)

About Cream...ok..you all hate her but...what do you think of that Chaotix team of S.H.? At least Cream is cute T_T

Not the ice stage. Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic Adventure 2 and IIRC correctly CD Sonic are ice-free.

Cream's voice in Sonic X is really annoying,so are Tails' and Amy's. Tails in the SA games were tolerable,and is that Amy's same voice actor from the SA games?

Also,when will Big the Cat make his appearance? LOL. I want Shadow.

I wish I could say that, but alas, I'm enough of a geek to know that if Sonic wasn't there, there'd probably be TMNT or something to keep me from actually getting a girlfriend.

I thought Sonic Heroes was OK, actually - once you got the hang of switching teams quickly the game's pace is pretty fast. I wrote a long-ass review of it at Orochinagi, but can't be bothered to C&P :P

And you're right - the only Sonic games with ice levels were Sonic 3, Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic Advance 1&2 and Sonic Adventure.

And if Sonic didn't exist, I wouldn't be into video games. Sonic was my "first." :P :P :P

I got hooked when I first saw the original commercial for Sonic 1. It had some woman from some sort of lobbyist acronym group, like SADD or MADD complaining about Sonic. Sonic then runs up and emmabrasses her. And then the gameplay footage,....Mario was cool, but at the time there was nothing like Sonic.

That's nice. It doesn't sound like Sonic Heroes (which I also liked), but like in Genesis' Sonic 2 and 3, where the CPU or a second player could control Tails in order to help Sonic.
About the characters, I'm almost sure Amy will also be in it (probably like her Sonic Advance 1-self, since now each character needs more specific abilities), and Shadow and Rouge also have good chances of being in it. But I also would like to see a new character, or a returning one. Plus, is there the option to play as just one character (even though I'll probably never use it)?

Small update: Amy IS in SA3. Look at THQ, and look at all the pictures (this page displays only 6 pics, but there are more when you click on them). There's one picture with Knuckles and Amy, and it doesn't look fake to me (Direct Link , might not work, though).
Unfortunately, THQ also put these 5 characters as the only ones available. Could Shadow and Rouge be at least as secret characters?

Shadow and Rouge might be on a CPU contolled villain team.

As far as Amy, how can you not like the voice of someone who screams "YOU INTERRUPTED MY FANTASY!!!".

Thanks for the link. It looks quite neat, and all that stuff they promise... Yeah, yeah, I know the difference between promisese and facts, but, except for Shadow's absence so far, I'm liking all these news, this game's really calling me...
