Retro_Link Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 So yeah part of this game seems to be about collecting/building/sharing gadgets?... which a second player can use to help out of multiplayer... or you can share and charge up via Miiverse?

S.C.G Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Looking good so far, apart from the special stage being exclusive to the 3DS version... Why can't the Wii U have its own special stage? I can only assume that we'll be given the 'Chaos Emeralds' or their equivalent at certain points during the home console adventure. Feels wrong... I'd rather 'earn' them the proper way.

Yeah, it is strange, especially considering that the Gamepad has all the tilt/motion sensors going on too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyliini Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I have never been a Sonic fan, so I can't tell how this game differs from previous games. For long-time players, does it seem like Nintendo had a hand in development of these games, or are the designers just better than earlier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 The gameplay looks a lot better than the trailer and screenshots did. Although I hope they sort out the loading screens on the 3DS version. I think the first level had around 6 loading screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro_Link Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 It's not really doing it for me. I didn't really like any of those 3 levels they showed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro_Link Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 What was it about them that you didnt like? Well for me the first level just didn't really feel right for a sonic game. I didn't really like the rotational aspect of it... although I did quite like the way they used it to rotate to find different paths. Also it does just feel ridiculously Mario Galaxy. I agree with them that Sonic needs a bit of a shake-up in the sense that even when I'm playing I get annoyed at not being able to see a trip hazard coming up or something, and just loosing all momentum. I also sometime feel Sonic games are too fast... but for me at least that is what I go into a Sonic game for. I don't buy one to get more of a 3D platformer. The second level I just wasn't a fan of because of the theme. I didn't really like that world in colours. And also I prefer my Sonic levels more 3D than 2D. The Third level again just felt like something you'd find in Galaxy, with all the floating wooden blocks etc... the bee theme... (also how is a woodland bee theme a desert level? :p) I also feel the visual style is very underwhelming. I feel it's a step back from Colours. In fact I'd prefer this game had just built on that, and not tried to shake up the level design of radically. But anyway. I'll wait to see more. But this isn't a system seller for me.

Hero-of-Time Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I've just got around to watching the Wii U version footage. Man, the game looks and sounds amazing! This is due for release this year, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I also sometime feel Sonic games are too fast... but for me at least that is what I go into a Sonic game for. I don't buy one to get more of a 3D platformer. Well like the guy in the video said, they've slowed him down and made it so you can choose your own speed. Looks like they've dropped the boost mechanic. Plus looks like there's a lot of platforming going on. Although some of the stages look like they are pretty fast so there must be a mix of level types. The second level I just wasn't a fan of because of the theme. I didn't really like that world in colours. And also I prefer my Sonic levels more 3D than 2D. How can you not like food based levels? This is due for release this year, right? Thankfully, yeah. Looks pretty near complete from that demo to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
