Chip, Shade, froggy??!?!! WTF?!?! I actually like Chip and Shade as characters but.....weren't they meant to be one game only characters? It's called, "SEGA is laughing at our faces."

I won't belive it until I see it with my own eyes! Because putting it this way, it's insulting for fans! U_U Mabe if they shown some other trailer with some informations on it,or something like that I could start undertanding, but not like this!

Oy, the prize has been revealed... here!It's Bloody Shellcracker from Metropolis Zone! Badniks return the same time they do in STC! Edit: Sonic Cycle this, Sonic Cycle that... Here's what it really is (All credit to Mama Robotnik of NeoGAF). I've just realized....
The endless cycle of [censored] sonic games, the endless up hype and down disappointment....
The hopeless trap with no path of escape....
WE'RE ALL STILL ON THE BARREL. WE NEVER ESCAPED.

Well thank [censored] for that - and I think we all guessed as much. Funky new oldschool concept art as well, although it looks more like a Crabmeat than a Shellcracker. [/Badnik spotter mode activated] Mambo is pleased. :3

I am miffed that only Sonic is playable. But then again, I won't be surprised if Tails & Knuckles may be available for DLC. And that retro-concept art is awesome. I've just realized....

WE'RE ALL STILL ON THE BARREL. WE NEVER ESCAPED. PRESS DOWN BRO, PRESS DOWN !!!There's always a way out. ~ And last but not least, and while people will definitely disagree with me..... I'm gonna miss Amy. She was great in the Advance games. This paragraph shall be printed in pink as a memorial to the character.

I am miffed that only Sonic is playable. OH FOR GOD SAKE. Yeah, I'm complaining. I'm so used to Tails. And Knuckles climbing walls. Reducing characters is one thing. Reducing all the way down to one, now that's quite far. But, hey, I don't speak for everybody.

I love that barrel GIF - brilliant! Hmm, I think reducing it to Sonic might be a good idea, perhaps they could have Tails following him around like in Sonic 2, 3 & Knuckles... that way we can relive killing Tails in amusing ways!

Sonic and the Secret Rings, Sonic and the Black Knight and Sonic Unleashed were all Sonic-only games. It's not really that big a deal now for it to be a Sonic-centric game - it'd only be a big deal (and I can only assume this is why they're playing it up to begin with) if it was a Sonic game with only a classic Sonic playstyle.
Honestly, I've got my money on this being a complete remake of Sonic 1. Maybe even a full remake of all the original MegaDrive games placed into one full story (which, considering Sonic 2, 3 and Knuckles all intertwine story-wise, isn't that difficult).
If they did that, and told it with the same quality and effort as the post-Adventure games (ie: full cut-scenes, etc), I'd be floored with awesomeness.
Wont be getting any hopes up for this game until there's actually something concrete to go on, though - but I'll go forward with an optimistic outlook.

Sonic and the Secret Rings, Sonic and the Black Knight and Sonic Unleashed were all Sonic-only games. Those games still had other characters appear in secondary roles, however. I'm under the impression that this game is Sonic and only Sonic.

I wouldn't hold my breath on that front. The contest was rather deliberate in saying "playable character/s".
If it's a Sonic 1 remake, then you will probably only have sneaky references to other characters - but anything other than that and you can pretty much guarantee that - at the very least - Tails, Knuckles and possibly Shadow will show up in some way.

If it's a Sonic 1 remake, why would Shadow be there? At that point he'd still be frozen in the Arc.

That's why he, Tails and Knuckles were listed in the 'if it's not a Sonic 1 remake' part of that sentence...

I'm pretty sure they commented in an interview that it's definitely not a remake. That it's a completely original title.
Of course, it might basically be Sonic 1 in all but actual layout based on what we've seen.

You're all wrong it is called Kanipanchi(ƒJƒjƒpƒ“ƒ`) Kani means crab and panchi is a Japonification of punch. CrabPunch! Lol! Wasn't that the Japanese name for Shellcracker as well?

Of course, it might basically be Sonic 1 in all but actual layout based on what we've seen. They might as well just call it "New Sonic the Hedgehog" and be done with it. Somehow I doubt I'll be touching this. The Sonic Team label these days makes me very uneasy, as I just know they'll find a way to completely balls it up somehow.

I heard that Shadow and Amy might be in the game cameos! But that's not a big deal! What i'm more curius about is What Tails and Knuckles are actually going to do in the game!
P.S In Sonic and the black knight he isn't the only playable character! Infact you can use the other three knights as well at the end!

I'm under the impression that this game is Sonic and only Sonic. I like other characters to break up the pace. In Unleashed there weren't there but the Werehog was so it wasn't so bad (but he needed much work). And that doesn't take away the fact SA1 has a strong following because it has a variety of characters in it. Sonic games with just Sonic in them bore me too quickly.

What it needs, to satisfy everyone, is something akin to Sonic 3, or Sonic Advance, where you have a choice of characters, each with different abilities, but everyone plays through the same levels regardless.
But lets give them this game to perfect Sonic alone again, and if it's good, put in Tails next time and so on.

Still reserved about this game. It's going to be either awesome or awful, and at this point there is NOTHING to go on. Because putting it this way, it's insulting for fans! U_U We're Sonic fans, we deserve more insulting than we actually get, we're a bunch of complaining [censored] flavoured [censored]s. When we're not complaining about how being able to turn into Super Sonic in any level makes things too easy we're complaining about only being able to turn into Super Sonic to fight some final boss. When we're not complaining about one awful voice actor, we're saying how he's better than equally awful voice actor. When we're not complaining about the games being 3D we're complaining about Sonic Rush. We're either lurking around on some Satam revival forum pining how we miss the days when Sonic was "dark and edgy", despite Satam being about as [censored]ing dark as Mr. Men, and complaining about Shadow the Hedgehog being "dark and edgy" Or we're in Sonic Cult. Or Sonic Passion. Or we're Chris-Chan. We're more annoying than Transformers fans and almost as annoying as Fallout fans. I want you all to think about that.
