WTF, how much more can they ruin Sonic?

[Great Rumbler]

this looks like a Sonic Adventure game

Well, I give you THAT.

As for OB1, you (and PA) are being ridiculous...

No, I'd say their right on the money. It's basically a flagrant disregard for what the Sonic series once was and an attempt to appeal to the "mainstreamers", instead of actually making the games themselves BETTER, which is what they need to be doing. There's absolutely no need for the main character of a Sonic game to have a gun, of any kind really, but to put in one that looks as realistic as that one? Insane.

It would be like if Nintendo made a Mario game about Mario's evil clone/brother/whatever and he's a mob boss who kills people and deals in drugs and hires out hookers. It's basically like GTA. Except it's made by Nintendo and is closely associated with their Mario franchise. That's basically what we have happening here, though I don't think it's quite THAT bad. You get my point, I think.
