I don't know it feels totally different and because of that maybe strange at first.
I like the style they had, but at least with Sonya I....might be starting to understand where your coming from, that was not fully perfect.
Hhhmm I can't tell what it is, if it looks to clean for me or if they look like they don't belong in the game anymore.
No hate here, but I believe I was thinking of a dress up game for a second, I just needed some time to figure out that was my first impression when I saw the picture.
That doesn't means I hate it, but at least the Doc was okay for me and I hope the akward girl, as well as Blaze aren't included in the changes.
They came to mind right away.
edit: I want to admit that I reacted mostly with what i remembered from the game, but I also took a short look. I will most likely play it anyway in the end, but I think it was or is not all bad, I was able to see something nice in it.
