“Close to Finished,” Says Creator
Several months since we last heard of it at the 2010 Sonic Amateur Games Expo, Sonic Axiom was briefly thrust back into the spotlight in the final days of last year, when producer vexer posted what he calls the final trailer for the Sonic CD like fan project.
“I haven’t posted anything in a while, but I have done a lot of work on my game and It’s actually getting close to finished,” he stated on Sonic Fan Games HQ.
The nearly four minute trailer shows off an array of action stages, a peek at a boss fight with Metal Sonic, and a bonus stage. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are all playable.
Other than the announcement that it’s close to completion, there was no indication when Axiom would be released. So, take a look at the video below and whet your appetite while we watch and wait for more. If 2011 isn’t the year of the hedgehog, it may be the year of his fan games.

great, now let the flood of fanboy butt hurt commence
Looks nice. All the levels look pretty interesting and unique. However, the second-to-last level shown in the trailer made my eyes hurt. There’s too much stuff in that one.
I like the music for the trailer as well, but I feel as though I heard it somewhere before. I also like Knuckles’ animations. I don’t believe I’ve seen them anywhere else. I may be mistaken, but all their animations seem sluggish to me. They’re moving kind of slow the way I see it. Again, looks nice.
Great Job
Cool, really get the retro feeling that sonic 4 doesnt return.
Sonic 4 seemed pretty nostalgic to me. It’s just that the physics need tweaking and the special stages… ugh… but, this game is looking purty nice.
…Yes, that was intentional.
A lot of the animations and the camera look laggy (though that might just be the video), and knuckles’s sprites look odd and sometimes ugly. But otherwise this is pretty good.

Sonic 4 didn’t really have a nostalgic atmosphere IMO, or at least not much of one, but that is pretty natural when an old art style is updated with modern graphics, so that’s understandable.
Nice hope the music sounds like the video
Apart from the laggy looks, this looks pretty damn impressive. I won’t even compare it to Sonic 4 cause that would be too obvious and easy.
Well, Sega’s obviously going to try to make this the year of the hedgehog, what with the whole 20th anniversary thing. I just hope they don’t rush whatever it is just so they can get it out this year.
Speaking of badly rushed games, I know I’m way late with this, but I’m finally getting my chance to play Sonic ’06. My sister got it and I drove her nuts last night playing up until Flame Core. The game is, um, challenging, to put it nicely, but at least I’m getting a good laugh with the knowledge that it got improved in the future. That, and you do kind of get used to it eventually…sort of.
Oh, yes, and the fangame is cute, though I was hoping to see Tails’ flying mechanics a little more.
