When you boot up a Sonic game – whether it's one of the GOAT'd original trilogy titles for the Mega Drive, or one of the lesser-regarded 3D titles of the latter years – you know it's a Sonic game. Those sharps lines that denote speed giving way to parabolic swoops and curves, the intense green of nature set against the weird orange of manufactured brick... Sonic has an instantly recognisable identity. And has had for over three decades.
The same is true of Sonic Superstars – the new game annuonced by Sega at this week's Summer Games Fest.
If you watch the launch trailer (above) you'll notice some wonderful, classic-inspired 2D gameplay – though the publisher will be quick to ensure you're calling it 2.5D, per the marketing spiel. The game is clearly inspired by the original trilogy of games (& Knuckles) and adds some of its own interesting elements into the mixture, too.
