I would certainly prefer HD vectorized sprites, but prerendering is fine too, as long as it doesn't look bad.

So far, everything this guy said about the game could either be observed in the leaked footage of the alpha build or outright made-up altogether.

...You just said "everything this guy said could either be seen in the leaked footage or not seen in the leaked footage".

...Whoops. My bad.

At any rate, I'm still not completely convinced of this guy's credibility.

I hope they have at least a few baddies from Sonic 2 and 3. At this point I'm starting to think it's going to be entirely a call back to Sonic 1, given that the pic of the "Ball And Chain" Boss was leaked as well.

The first piece of concept art they released was a monster from Metropolis Zone.

Motobug? I believe he was in Sonic 1 as well.

Oh yeah... With the giant claw... thing.

Yeah. I remember that guy. Annoying as hell.

Alrighty, then.

During boss battles at the end of levels, players may encounter an arch nemesis in a mechanical device that gets charred and emits some flames when damaged.

The fact that Dimps is involved destroys any hopes I had for this game being good.

And established the foundations of hopes of it being awesome?

ESRB rated this game: E for Everyone, Comic Mischief.
Where's my Mild Lyrics, dammit?

Unlike Sonic I don't chuckle.

I think it's unlikely we'll get any cheesy rock-opera this time.

It would be a lot easier for me if you imagine there's something funny or interesting here.

Yeah, I severely doubt that there will be a presence of Crush 40 or Zebrahead.

On a related note: Gimmee Sonic 4 or die, I don't love you.-

I'm still trying to figure out why they still put "power-ups" in "scare quotes". Or why they feel the need to specify the gathering of points. Seriously, I love ESRB to death, but the legalese is comically stiff.

Because they used up all their funny on the description of Scribblenauts, perhaps?

...What.

Man, it's times like these I am ashamed to admit that I ever dabbled in Sonic fandom. I call myself a Sonic fan, sure, but I sure as heck don't want to be associated with these people.

Can we call them something snarky, like Harry Potter does for batshit-fans of Draco in Leather Pants or Snape? Like Sonicfen or retrofen or something?

You know what I just realized. That video and the DA post from the description are written by BigAl2k6 and Spax3 respectively.

In other words, even those guys think this is stupid.

Well, you have to hand it to the petitioners. Sega would never expect this angle of attack.
