When will you guys finally realize that Eggman was ALWAYS his original name.
Well, yeah, but Eggman really sounds more like an Nickname that would somone give him. Dr. Robotnik sounds atleast more sinister.
Since Sonic Adventure his full name is Doctor Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik. SEGA did it to please both groups, but they forgot that the Sonic fanbase will never be pleased with anything.
Yeah, I know, and I like it more as Eggman, but evidently nobody else does. Besides, just because something is as it once first, doesn't mean its as good as it is now... but in this case it does.

I totally agree with you. Personally I find it funny that people have a problem to call him Eggman, but are completely fine with the EGGmobile or various other EGG-something robots.

Why not actually head over to SEGA's blog and read some information on the game before you judge it from a tiny clip designed just to give us a visual teaser of the first zone? How do <10 seconds of not even gameplay footage possibly demonstrate that you just "hold down forward forever till bored"? SEGA have already stated that gameplay will be a return to the more exploratory style of the originals, and that speed will be momentum based and 'a reward for playing well'. This is in fact the opposite of just holding down forward.
Who the fuck speeds UP while running UPHILL?
Momentum my ass!

Why should I believe what they are saying? The same company told us that Sonic 06 would be an return to the roots and we all know what happened with that..

I've also heard people complain that Sonic's eyes are green. Newsflash, they were green in Sonic 3 (on his sprite, not the title screen). People really do just want to find something to complain about. I've heard "deal with it, it's crap" about things before, but this time it's more a case of "deal with it, it might actually be good".
This is supossed to be green?

Sonic Adventure
From wikipedia:
"The reception at the time of release was overwhelmingly positive, including reviews from GameSpot and GameSpy being above 90%"

Sonic Adventure 2:
http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/drm/sonicadventure2
IGN gave it 94 out of 100.

Sonic Team no longer understands that the fun about Sonic the Hedgehog is moving FAST.
What the fuck are you talking about? Please take a look at this and tell me if you notice something.
I suppose I need to amend my statement. What I meant to say was that in Sonic 2, 3 & Knuckles on the Genesis had near-instantaneous acceleration after releasing down when building up a Speed dash. Sonic Rush has a physics engine that takes issue with that idea, so the only way you can hope to get up to speed is by chaining vast lengths of downward-inclined rails and speed-booster pods.

I much prefer the "Hold the d-pad down and hammer the B button" method to get speed instead of "jump on a rail and pray that your reaction time is fast enough to jump onto the next one when it comes crashing onto the screen."

Aww, you were still in diapers when Sonic & Knuckles came out. I can see how my opinions would differ from yours so greatly.

Doesn't change the fact that I want my goddamn 2D sprite-based Sonic back, and I'll be prematurely disappointed in every game that refuses to do so.

It's about FUCKING TIME!!!! I guess Capcom's success with Mega Man 9 and the fact that fans have been wanting this for almost 10 YEARS was enough to get Sega's butt in gear! Sonic 2 and 3 were my favorite games of my that console generation, so I hope that don't screw it up!

I don't want to be a buzz killer, but I guess no one has considered this might actually suck? I mean, I really, really hope it doesn't, but well... it might.
What you talkin' 'bout willis?


You're killin' me smalls!


Damn, good point, but comeon, how could you fuck up something you've done amazingly at least 3 times?
Three times out of many. I'm just afraid that the game won't survive the need for modernization, because they can't make a game exactly like the 90's ones, but that was great part of it's charm. Nowadays, if it's overly simple like it used to be, people will complain it's more of the same and dull by today's standards.

But well, let's hope for the best, I'm sure they are able to make a kickass game out of this series (again).

*Looks for quote of me saying that i played the game when it first came out*

*fails*

Yep.

Not saying i didnt enjoy S&N, Believe me i did. I consider it nearly a perfect game (the only thing that annoys me was knuckles story could of been as long as sonics). Im just saying that Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 are fucking awesome.

Sorry to disappoint you, but you won't get your sprites back (as you can see in the trailer).

One thing remains certain: As long as they call him Dr. Robotnik and can this "Eggman" crap, we'll be good.
I cannot agree with this strongly enough.
I 2nd this
When will you guys finally realize that Eggman was ALWAYS his original name.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Ivo_Robotnik
when will you finally use google and look this stuff up. Eggmann is an alias.

you lose
thats from the second game by the way
Right from Wiki which has basically taken bits from the manual. His name IS Dr. I. Robotnik, Eggman is an alias, a go by, ergo not his real name.

The original English instruction manual for his 1991 debut game Sonic the Hedgehog described the character's full name as "Doctor Ivo Robotnik"[2] while the Japanese version's instruction manual for the same game called him "Doctor Eggman".[7] Then in 1999's Sonic Adventure, the character was called both "Doctor Robotnik" and "Doctor Eggman" in the English version.[4] Yuji Naka has explained that "Robotnik" is the character's real name while "Eggman" is a "common name taken after his shape."
