Here's what people already know about the game: it centers on only Sonic, it's going to be 2D, it's in HD, and it'll be coming to Xbox Live and PSN. Here's what they don't know: it's Sonic the Hedgehog 4. At least, that's how it's considered internally at Sega -- whether it'll have some other name when it ships, we're not sure. But from its 2D gameplay to its focus on just the character we actually give a shit about, this is the Sonic game we've been waiting for since we moved on from the Sega Genesis. Let's just hope this doesn't all sound too good to be true -- the second we see a Weresonic or Sonic's fat purple friend we're calling bullshit on the whole thing.
