I seem to be getting more and more intrested with this title after each update of the leaks.

The upbeat jazz music got my attention. Ferris Wheel robot also got my attention.

i only need to know one thing to make or break this purchase

is it "robotnik" or "eggman"

I'm afraid they've retconned it to the japanese name ever since SA2. ;_; Although the european Sega blog referred to him as "Ivo" a week ago or so. Probably old Fleetway fans.

I never had a problem with SA1's flight.  Tails' flying was always supposed to be more of an on-the-side thing.  As should be, frankly, ANY character-specific abilities.  The core platforming mechanics should be shared among all players.

On-the-side? Dude, it's Tails. He IS about flying. He flies when he runs. =P

Most likely Eggman.

I miss the name Robotnik. D:

LOL
Only complete idiots care, what Eggman is called.

I like both, and in Archie comics, Eggman is still often called Robotnik.
Tough, in Archie... he had one more name.
Julian Kintobor from the House of Ivo.
His original one (in the Archie universe, that is).
[parasitic bomb], now I remember how crazy the Robtnik/Eggman thing is in Archie.
I mean, the current Robotnik is actually Metal Robotnik(who is no longer so "METAL")from an alternate universe, where he has won. While the original Robotnik is... well.. kinda dead, if I remember right.
Goddamn.

Has the name Robotnik appeared in any other game since Sonic Adventure 2? (not talking about the Gerald references in Shadow, nor the codex in Dark Brohood)

[Mirby]

I think Sonic does call him Robotnik once in Dark Brotherhood... I think...

I'm almost 85% sure that he is referred to as Robotnik outside the codex in that game.

[Kieran]

Well, his real name is canonically Dr. Ivo Robotnik.  Eggman is just a pseudonym.  A stupid pseudonym.

Canon changes. They pretty much made it so he'll never be Robotnik again. And "Ivo" never appeared in any game.

[Mirby]

Yeah, they made it so Eggman's an insult because he's so fat. Even though he doesn't treat it as such. Odd.

In Sonic Adventure 1, it was said as an insult. In SA2, he seemed to simply take the name, as well as recognize his roots. After that, he just called himself Dr Eggman and that's that.

And it's not plot, just Sega's way to make kiddies understand that Eggman is Eggman and Robotnik is no moar.

That reeks of "original CG announcement trailer compiled with eventual CG intro".

What a cop-out. TWO CG trailers in a row, no gameplay? This is Sonic, not Final Fantasy.

Although I gotta say. The Daft Punk-like music and the ZOMG COLORS AND SPACE EVERYFUCKINGWHERE are getting me really damn excited right now.

Hey, that song sounds quite nice.
Shame there's no gayplay.

I love this game's style soooo much. Please just try your best to be a really good game. Not a hearkening back or overambitious project.

The Wii version sorta resembles what a 360 game would look like, its nice. Also it seems getting lives normally has come back. Maybe it'll be more like 360/PS3 Unleashed? DS looks meh...

The DS version is a Rush title, which is good. I just hope that this game focuses more on the 2D parts than on the 3D ones. Because if it's like Unleashed, urgh.

[Protoman Blues]

Gotta say that Colors looks colorful and pertty!

Those first few screenshots actually DO seem 360/PS3-quality screenshots. I seriously hope the game plays as well as it looks...

Agreed. If it can take the good elements from Unleashed and leave out a good portion of the bad, then I can definitely see myself enjoying this. Time will tell, I suppose.

Since the game is rumores to be 70% 2D parts, and I really don't see the powers working as well in 3D as they would in 2D, from what they described, I'm guessing they're trying to improve it.
