It would be great if they put the characters from the Animated Series.

Getting a real Rayman Origins/Legends vibe from the looks of those character designs.
Also a bit Skylanders-y.

Let's hope SEGA have improved in the character design department since the last time they churned new characters out regularly.

Do people really care at this point :?

Show us the gameplay. Every sonic game basicly adds new characters, some good, most bad. At this point its like teasing that the game will contain trees and then having silloettes of the trees.

I've only watched Sonic the Hedgehog so I don't know about the underground characters.

To be fair, there hasn't been a new Sonic character introduced since 2006, 2008 if you count Chip who was a one-time deal. That's 5-7 years, a new record for SEGA.

But I do agree that everything is gameplay at this point, that's what everyone wants to see. They're just being mean and teasing us with tiny snippets of scenario info.

As far as I know, SEGA try to distance themselves from the old American cartoon series'. Even with the comics they've been enforcing the writers at Archie to put more focus on game characters and less focus on the TV/original characters.

If Sega brought out new Sonicthat looked half as good as Raymond Legends I would be very happy indeed!

That is because they listened to the fans who hated them for churning out shite characters. I really hope this doesnt turn out to a sucky list of characters though.

I have always hoped that Sally and co would make an appearance, same with Scratch and Grounder....

There is such a plethora of characters that they churn out, personally i think that Rouge has probably been one of the better additions over the years, the same with Blaze, but otherwise a lot of characters are quite forgettable...

Indeed, SEGA listened and decided to actually hold back, realising that maybe throwing an uninspired character into each new game wasn't what people wanted. It was probably something they thought would work because it was such a big sellpoint for Sonic 2 and S3&K, but one thing they didn't realise is that Tails and Knuckles expanded the game fundamentally in a way that made sense and worked wonderfully.

Hopefully they've had enough time to think now to know how to make characters a lot better. ._. I can hope.
