Sonic dying a slow and painful death...

Sega just released some more scans of the next Sonic title to hit the PS3 and 360. Those of you who saw the pictures know what I'm talking about when I say it looks odd. The visuals just don't have that sonic style anymore. The enviroments are made to look very realistic and devoid of any stylized touches. Sonic looks very out of place roaming around in there. However, that's fine. If the game's good, I could get past that. This though, is a different story:

The other interesting bit is that Sonic will employ breakdancing moves to fight his robotic enemies

OK this CAN be awsome (in that so ridiculous it's kick-ass sort of way). But, considering what an insult Sonic Heroes, Riders and Shadow the Hedghog were to fans of the series, I just can't bring myself to get all optimistic. It's like they keep trying way too hard to make the Sonic franchise more and more badass, and yet, in the process, it just keeps getting lamer and lamer...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Y'know, that's actualy one of the more decent looking shots of the game. Only because it's the only shot that I've seen so far that shows Sonic's signature gold rings floating around. Which is the ONLY true Sonic-esque touch I've seen so far stamped on this instalment.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
