TBF The Smurfette Principle has been rather outdated for representation and the standard is more Two Girls to a Team now. SEGA could do better natch, but making Amy playable is still a step in the right direction.
which is to say they should also make Honey playable as well

It looks really cool! Can't wait to see Fang/Nack in 3D. (He'll always be Nack to me cause a sniper...doesn't fit the [x the animal] name scheme XD)
EDIT: though his species isn't actually a weasel; he's a jerboa-wolf.

The Protomen enhanced my life.With how little info there really is for the game, my main impression so far is that it's disappointing they're reusing the Classic Sonic model. Tails looks fine, Knuckles looks pretty much the same as normal with a slightly bigger head, Amy is a good translation of her sprite. And then you have Sonic with his baby proportions they gave him in Generations that doesn't capture how is old sprite looked, and now looks even weirder next to these other characters who have better classic-style models.
They made a new Classic Sonic model for the render...
Is the in game model the same? The animations look too good to be from Sonic Generations.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.When I say they changed the model, I don't mean it simply looks better.
They got rid of his "butt brow" that the Generations model had and his eye shape is altered because of it. Proportionately...it looks the same.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.I just wanted to say I'm so happy and excited and a little overwhelmed, but above all else I'm so relieved. I've felt so alienated from my favorite series for so long that I'd almost come to terms with it, y'know?
I figured Mania really was just a fluke and there'd never be a follow-up and Sonic just wasn't gonna really be for me for a pretty good while. And that was pulling down on my interest in following, well, anything about the brand. It was harder to enjoy Frontiers with this nagging feeling that they'd just let Classic Sonic wither as merely the "past" version of himself.
And having been through all of that and so much more over the past few years, I don't think I really had any way of knowing how hard this would hit me. I mean, it's been a whole day and I'm still processing it, it still doesn't seem quite real to be able to say, "The Classic branch is real, Mania was the start of something, the Sonic I grew up with still matters, and he has more adventures to come."
The trailer wasn't wrong, these really are my favorite characters. And it's amazing to see them again.

A thought occurred to me.
Might the new character be an official take on Eggette?
Like, a direct take on it, not happenstance like with Sage.
