Matt Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 The new Sonic demo is absolutely terrible! The controls are disastrous and it looks like an Xbox game. Oh dear, Sonic Team...
Hero-of-Time Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 The new Sonic demo is absolutely terrible! The controls are disastrous and it looks like an Xbox game. Oh dear, Sonic Team... You guys sound suprised. 3D Sonic games havent been anygood for a long long time.
Matt Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Well duh... But STILL. How is it even WORSE than the other tripe they've slapped the Sonic name on to?
Chuck Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 excited about all the demos and shit, but a black xbox 360? ill be ashamed to have a white, should look good
Meik Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 I knew I wasn't going to be impressed by the demo when I died about 5 seconds after starting. Let's hope that's just an early build, or something. Also change that crap music, I wants me some cheesy 80's rock like in SA1/SA2/Heroes.
The3rdChildren Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Wow, a shitty 3D Sonic game? Who knew?
Hero-of-Time Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Wow, a shitty 3D Sonic game? Who knew? LMBO I played it for like 2 mins or something and it is terrible. The random flying off the edge when doing the homing attack is still there I see, why the hell cant they sort that probnlem out I mean its been in every single 3D sonic game.
CompSci Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 hold your horses guys this is the e3 demo, they had several months to improve the game since then, so wait till the final game is out to judge it
The3rdChildren Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 hold your horses guys this is the e3 demo, they had several months to improve the game since then, so wait till the final game is out to judge it Since they even made a demo that STILL HAS the problems all the 3D Sonic games had, I don't have very high hopes for this one at all. If you actually press in the direction of the enemy you want to air dash, it rarely misses.
Mr. Bananagrabber Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 DOOM Hell yes. Online co-op? I'm wet.
demonmike04 Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 hold your horses guys this is the e3 demo, they had several months to improve the game since then, so wait till the final game is out to judge it Wait its the E3 demo? And it has major glitches? Fucking hell Sega are a complete bunch of dumbasses in the home console market. "Yes, lets publish a demo on the Xbox Live service to get people aware of what a fantastic game they could be buying!" Nobody is going to want to buy a game were the demo gives the impression of a glitched up catastrophe. The homing attack has always had problems, especialy Sonic Adventure 2. Also, are the crap camera's fixed now? Or have they not improved upon that at all.
Tailzo Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 I assume I'm not the only one that has both been curious and a bit afraid to try out this demo. First of all, if this game was made by the same team that made Shadow and Heroes, I can say it's their best shot yet. My great fear of playing another greatly unworthy Sonic game is almost gone. It plays well. The first 5 secounds, I thought the controls were a tad bit sensitive, but when I have to choose precicely where I want to go, that's actually not a bad thing. Sonic can jump, do homing, follow a trail of rings, ect. It feels like Sonic, even if Sonic himself has been re-designed a bit. One of the first things I experienced, was how the demoed level seems to have several different routes in it. First time through, I went with all the most obvious routes, and the level was fairly easy. Next time, I grabbed an eagle at the very first part of the level, managed to do a homing attack on some power-ups and follow a different route. Later in the level, I also found alternative routes. I liked that. Oh, and for those who are not used to Sonic Adventure, you might die if you do not know that you should press "x" to follow the rings. I died once because of that. The camera is not entirely fixed / static, but not loose and 100% controllable either. It feels much better than what I remember from Shadow. I only had a slight problem when standing with Sonic right beside a wall. It still feels either better, or on par with most 3d platformers in terms of camera-work. The level was very easy (It was so easy to get an A rank...) , but I assume it was just because it is the first level. If Sonic has lots of levels like this, I would concider getting the game to play his levels. The demo didn't have any levels with Silver or Shadow, so I'm not sure if I'll like their gameplay yet. But even if I do give the game praise, it still doesn't feel as great and fresh as Sonic Adventure (1) was, but rather a next-gen update / polish.) I may like it so much, since I almost expected another Shadow game. The game looks good, and the animation is nice too, but I didn't really think much about that. The framerate took a hit twice in the level, but it wasn't very bad. Maybe the framerate could be completely fine in the final build?
Meik Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Well the X06 conference has started, however the live feed on Xbox.com seems to be borked. http://www.majornelson.com is updating with information though, with a great first bit of news: Banjo-Kazooie is coming to the 360.
