would PSO2 count?

No, as far as I know, Sonic Team's logo has never been used in PSO2, and since mid Episode 2 (since an year ago) this logo has started being used in PSO2 (for the opening intro and such).

Speaking of the Rise of Lyric playtester leaker, >>>apparently<<< the leaker has returned with reveal new stuff concerning Sonic Runners. Given how a lot more similar "claims" have shown up since the original leak and that it's from 4chan, it's best to take this with a bucket a salt, especially since this sounds way too good to be true.

"Unleashed daytime gameplay

Boost, quickstep, slide, homing attack chains, wall running with mines, etc

Think how dash was unleashed lite only this time it's less simplified"

...

"It definitely isn't Sonic's big break but it's fun enough

Also with the cutscenes you'll be glad to know the toilet jokes have been toned down but they're really short scenes anyway"

...

"B-team is working on the 2016 game, hopefully"

"Nope, The A team will shit out a game based on the movie in 2016 and the B team will release their Nintendo exclusive Sonic like normal in 2017."

From a quick google it looks like the logo is from deviantart. As far as I can tell there's no proof that this is the same guy, and the things he's saying don't exactly make a ton of sense to me, so I'm gonna stay very skeptical on that personally. It wouldn't be the first time someone else posted pretending to be him.

The movie is in pre-production and doesn't even have a script yet. There's no way it will come out in 2016.

For example, the Metal Gear movie was announced in 2006, and still doesn't have a script.

Part if me doubts the film will ever come out at all, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

So yeah, that guy's full of shit.

[Dark Sonic]

Actually ya looking at that logo it's obviously fake.

Out of curiosity, how dire of a financial situation is Sega in at this point? It feels like a desperation move to delegate one of their few major dev teams, even if it's just a segment, to a mobile game when they've farmed it out in the past.

[Techokami]

Hmmm... what if Sonic Team managed to port Hedgehog Engine to iOS using METAL, and they're just demoing it in the form of a game product?

They're more than alright.

Not to mention Sega would have to be absolutely boneheaded to make the same mistake they made with Sonic Boom a mere 2 years later.

As for Sega's finances... well, they bought Atlus, right? I mean, they're doing better than Capcom, at least.

Not sure how making a mobile game is supposed to be some sort of desperate financial move. I'm not sure if SEGA's current financial situation is bad or not though.

concerning the use of the Adventure-era designs

The Adventure-era designs haven't been used in a Sonic game since 2000.

As indifferent as I am to either Classic or Modern Sonic's design, the idea that the American side of Sega(?) are the ones who dislike the classic designs surprises me; I would have expected that it would be the Japanese side (Possibly Iizuka, as I've heard that he tends to downplay the legacy of the classic trilogy in comparison to what followed). Though considering the Generations classic models are based on the Japanese designs and not the American ones, I suppose it makes more sense the more I think about it.

[Caniad Bach]

I don't think the American's have enough power to say what design matters or not. It makes sense for Iizuka to want the modern design since Adventure was the first one he directed (not including R), and his favourite in the series.

*2001.

And I meant the term "Adventure-era Sonic" as a general term for the design that has been used since that game that permanently re-branded the series with it. There may be slight differences throughout the model/artwork of that design with each succeeding game released since then, but the core elements of the Adventure design have been used for each game since 1998 (barring the Riders redesign and the Boom sub-series, of course).

Regarding this, there's one thing they took from the American design. Take a look at Classic Sonic's ear shape.

Hmm. Feeling cautious about this (obviously). Going to wait until more info is revealed before I comment further.

On a side note:

Moving forward I'd like to see a new visual identity. With the original Sonic The Hedgehog we saw pseudo 3D stuff been experimented with, which was really unique. I'd love to see this taken to the next level. Something gamers & kids have never seen before. I'd imagine that with some blurring/perspective/colouring tricks that an awesome 3D effect could be possible? Something to think about.

First post. Been a lurker for years, feels good to be posting and joining in. Hi everyone!
