You have nothing to worry about; I find it hard to believe that the code when the lid closes is going to be no different than the one when you flick the Sleep switch. It will definitely make some games lose immersion, but the functionality should remain the same.

Quote me saying that please, I will wait here. It's just as completely illogical to assume that I assumed so when I never said that. Videogaming is first and foremost INTERACTIVE entertainment. A story can immerse you but if the gameplay doesn't offer the core experience, you either become a mere spectator or the gameplay will break that immersion that a great story could give you. Ladies and gentlemen, contender for Game of the Year 2013 - The Last of Us I do. I love Phoenix Wright (and the gameplay, although apparently simple, suits the story as it should) as well as other story-driven games like Walking Dead or Heavy Rain, but if the gameplay is not even, well, playable, why should I bother to, well, play? I would rather just YouTube cutscenes of those games instead. Oh yes, that's right! I did that, for Sonic Free Riders (which the story wasn't all that either but still proves my point, because what if it had been?). Edit: Another contender for GOTY 2013 that, while it contains one of the greatest stories I have ever seen in gaming, ended up giving gameplay a backseat is Bioshock: Infinite. I love that game and I would play it all over again, but using the same fucking, cheap life ghost boss on 3 separate occasions with no variation whatsoever, and a lack of encouragement for varied weapon and vigor gameplay really hold me back from calling it a masterpiece.

I think with any game, wanting a good story over gameplay is wrong. Might as well just read a book or watch a movie.

To be honest, my favorite part of the trailer was showing the desert level as if Sonic is not in a floating world. I mean, if you want to be technical, Lost Hex is not even a world; more like a spherical floating island of sorts. Oh. My. God. Sonic Lost World is really SONIC & KNUCKLES 2 IN DISGUISE. Now I know what Iizuka meant when he said bringing "Classic" back.

I feel the same way but I just gotta let it out now because it's really getting to me. This thread is nothing but bitching on every single thing from the beginning: - Nintendo exclusivity? Check; - Completely new gameplay? Check; - Sonic is too slow? Check; - Pixar Bad guys? Check; - No other playable characters? Check; - No online on Wii U? Check; - 3DS by Dimps again? Check; - Graphics are crap? Check; - Looks like Mario Galaxy? Check; - Tropes don't match? Check; - Some music seems subpar? Check; - Desert level looks dull? Check; - Green Hill version 9.0? Check; - Casino level too short? Check; They should've done a '06 and just put out a fake trailer and not take anyone's feedback. (Edit: To clarify, I refer to the gameplay trailer for Crisis City that looked more completed than the final version) I am not saying don't talk about those things or that some of those concerns I mentioned above aren't also mine, but for God's sake... It's too early to jump to conclusions and like I said, nothing is set in stone with Sonic Team. If this game turns out to be as bad as everyone is making it out to be, they will abandon their current plans for the future and try something else. But until then, give the guys a chance and let those who are hyped stay hyped. It's OK to criticize but it's like one of the Ten Commandments in this community is "Thou shalt not let thy neighbor enjoy things thou do not." Otherwise we will end up where the Mega Man fanbase is now and the last thing we need is for SEGA to become like Capcom. I don't think SEGA would abandon Sonic altogether, but all you would see is re-re-re-re-re-releases of the CLASSICS that EVERYONE loves so goddamn much for the rest of time. /endrant /equip:Flame Shield

You guys shouldn't take a comment like Iizuka's so seriously. I take it with a grain of salt because there's no such thing as permanent in the Sonic Universe, except for rings and Emeralds. If it breathes, it's subject to anything. I actually thought Chao were gonna be permanent, where my homies at? So just relax and wait for Iizuka to come around.

Can you get me one too while you're at it?

We need that in the US and Europe and that is How Nintendo Stole Christmas from the other Big 2... NAH, but it's definitely a step in the right direction.

Another attempt at a joke failed.
