Caris Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 I'm quite excited for this now, wonder if it's gonna be 2D?
McMad Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 I am officially hyped and ready for disappointment. lol same. I'm saying it's either 3D or on rails. Can't be sure without some gameplay videos though (or a press release...).
ShadowV7 Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 I am officially hyped and ready for disappointment. Same. I'm looking forward to this actually now. I'm ready to get hit with disappointment though. I would rather have some hope for a few hours. I still really question the whole ONM filename and this getting a release on the Wii.
Dante Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 Im also hyped and getting really for disappointment for this game. I couldnt be any worse than Sonic06. Is e3 in June because we might get gameplay videos then.
Dante Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 sonicstadium: Sonic Team has a funny way of making games these days. This morning The Sonic Stadium broke news of a forum post leaking images pertaining to be from Sonic Unleashed. We can now confirm that these images are real. This will be the next Sonic game. And yet, we don't know quite how to take the news. On the one hand, we're excited with the promise of gorgeous levels and a Sonic that we actually want to associate ourselves with. On the other hand... well, read on. Sonic Unleashed will be the next Sonic 'canon' game, if you will, intending to follow on from Sonic 06's Iblis disaster (in more ways than one), hence the weird unimaginitive dark creature git in the screenshots this morning. You see Super Sonic attempting to stop Eggman once more, but a new trick up his sleeve results in Sonic having to deal with a rather unnatural curse. A werewolf. Sonic has to fight a werewolf alter-ego of himself. Yeah. Makes it all better in a weird way, right? The locales look stunning, and Sonic has never looked better. During the Sonic stages you can expect to encounter levels in a mixture of tried and tested ways, including Sonic and the Secret Rings style running and switching to 2.5D platforming on the odd occasion. At various points he will change into his werewolf form, at which point a gameplay gimmick will come into play - something we've been told isn't exactly in keeping with trying to make a Sonic game... well... let us say, 'good'. We have our suspicions. The blue hog won't be alone on his adventure either, as another new character that will probably be dispensed of in ten minutes will make a no-doubt unwelcome and unnecessary appearance. Just who or what this character will be is unknown as of yet. Finally, Sonic Unleashed is currently a working title and, like Sonic Wildfire before it, will likely change before its release. We weren't told what consoles the game is destined for, but if we were to put our speculating caps on we'd say the SatSR elements would point to the Wii being a likely candidate. Sonic Team appear to want to continue the trend of adapting old stories into the Sonic universe, let's hope the werewolf thing doesn't bring things down a peg or three. More Screens
Guest Jordan Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 I kinda wish the entire game would be 2.5D...
Dante Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 SU Sonic Vs Sonic 06 Story - the removing chaos emerald machine?
Dyson Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 They've made Sonic a bit less new-generation Sonic looking! He's even got a tiiiny bit of a round belly again! This is a good start
Dante Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 We didnt have to wait long for the gameplay video. Sidescrolling and SOTSR camara style.
Hellfire Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 OK, after that video I'm fucking psyched. Just abandon the werewolf thing
Dyson Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 Looks to me like this game will suffer from Sonic Advance syndrome. You can't see anything 5 feet in front of Sonic. Fail.
S.C.G Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 After seeing the screens and that video all I have to say is... Thank you Sega / Sonic Team for slightly restoring my faith in a series that I once loved. *waits patiently for the day when it actually gets reviewed to find that hopes have been shattered once again*
Vicar Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 Oh not another temptation... I still have to beat myself out of not buying Sonic The Hedgehog every time I see it a little voice goes off at the back off my head saying: "Buy it it´s sonic!" that little voice is me and ARGH I agree dyson and again Fuck this looks way to good to be true I'm not calling it a fake but...... the article you posted Dante the only thin I saw where something about new characters witch sucks and the dark side of sonic thingy the only reason I can think of them pulling it of if he is playable and they wont make him the good guy in the end and of the finish Where the fuck is tails and knuckles (not Amy or the rabbit) and my two player option guys I want to play some crazy soinc game with a friend not alone in a dark room surrounded by soinc stuff..... I´m so lonely
flameboy Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 I'm quite excited for this now, wonder if it's gonna be 2D? 2.5D will do for me I reckon! I kinda wish the entire game would be 2.5D... Me to We didnt have to wait long for the gameplay video. Sidescrolling and SOTSR camara style. Ok pretty excited now...SOTSR was a good game and corrected a lot of the previous 3D attempts wrong, namely just putting you Sonics boots and not a collection of shitty knock offs...the missions for the most part worked except the slack fetch quest ones... I defo think 2.5D is the way forward...have though that for a long time.
ReZourceman Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 Dysons right....that game looks unplayable due to not seeing in front of you. Fuck that shit. Can they not get a 3D platform Sonic right? Just sit everyone down and discuss how to do it.
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 What if the tide comes in faster than expected, it will be washed away LOL...Its actually made of very dry mud brick and it has been there since the 13th century, though I don't think you have to worry about tides when you live near the desert.
Ike Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 Well, I'm glad they changed Sonic's model back to his old Megadrive self. Shame they didn't do that to Dr Robotnik (:p). Bit weird though since it's a sequel to Sonic 06 and he'll look different. I loved SoTR, so hopefully they might improve on the flaws a little. The wolf thing is kinda weird considering he's already an animal anyway. Still, I think i'll be watch this and hope ST don't screw up. Again.

Fandango Posted March 23, 2008 Author Posted March 23, 2008 Wow, just posted this thread because I thought it was interesting, didn't think anyone really cared about Sonic anymore Anyway, gotta say the characters look great so far, Sonic actually looks like Sonic! Still not getting hyped up for it though, as others have said above the cameras looks as shitty as ever. I know its difficult as its such a fast-paced game but come on, they've had how many games to try and get the camera right?

Erm, when were you ever able to see more than a few metres ahead of Sonic in the original 2D games?
