Sonic Unleashed · Computer / Video Games Discussion

@st SMUDGE

I think if Sega made a 2D Sonic game on current consoles with 3D graphics and backgrounds, that would work. Not everything has to be in 3D, some things just dont fit that style.

I like the way the game looks. It seems they finally decided to try to take Sonic out of realism and put him into a setting that would actually fit.

Dude, its sonic the hedgehog. All of the lore surrounding sonic is B movie...,or what i consider to be Z movie.

I'm sorry for sounding erratic, but are by some chance F***ING BLIND!?! This looks not a damn thing like anything one the consoles from Sonic Adventure to Sonic the Hedgehog 2006. This is basically the single step backwards that Sega's been needing to take in order to make Sonic games what they used to be. So if by same old crap, you mean the glory days of the early 1990's, then I'd agree, otherwise, you're drawing up a goddamned blank.

Though I will admit that the whole were-hedgehog thing seems kind of gimmicky.

I'm personally not seeing this... I dont think anyones talking about the graphics as much as they are about the level design... and it looks to be just about the same crap as all of sonics recent failures

I think any pre-gameplay opinion could be considered jumping the gun.. but they probably will have to try much much harder (kind of like how SNK is hand drawing all of their KoF XII sprites) in order to bring some kind of respect back to the sonic franchise

Uhoh, I pissed off the sheep. 🙄

Gameplay wise that trailer looks just like any other 3D Sonic to me. All I said was "it looks like the same old shit", I didnt say "well this game sucks, bye". It looks like more run for two seconds, then have control taken away as you bounce on springs and run fixed paths. To me, the game looks like shit, the werewolf looks like someone in Sonic Team said "what can we do to sell games without fixing it?".

Looking forward to it, until it comes out. That's the way it always is with me and sonic nowadays. Except Dark Brotherhood, I'm hitting that.

Not disagreeing with you, Ast, but... aren't all Sonic games pretty much like that? You know the old joke about how all you have to do to beat Sonic 1 is hold right on the D-pad. The only difference, really, is fewer branching paths.

@st SMUDGE

Yeah, that thought crossed my mind, but you still seemed to have more control in the 2D games, you would jump over and attack enemies and such. When you start hitting springs and loops in the 3D games it just seems like you watch him go, if you try to control him you run the risk of running into oblivion. 🙄

Yea but it's got Unleashed in the title, which means it HAS to be good. It is good to see the old Eggman back after the simi-realistic one in Sonic the Hedgehog version. I wonder if they will bring in ANOTHER new Hedgehog.

You think I'm talking about the graphics? Well, if so, I'm not. What I mean is that this doesn't at all look to have the same gameplay style that Sonic Adventure and onward to Sonic 2006 had, and I honestly don't know where someone comes from saying it does. Gameplaywise, it's blasphemic to say this looks anything like Sonic Adventure.

Uhoh, I pissed off the sheep.

First of all, if you ever played any of the old Sonic games, running through a generally fixed path at high speeds is kind of what the series played to in the beginning, springs were there since day one, as were the dashing boards to "take away your control". With a clear approach at 2D-camera sidescrolling, a likely-to-be infrequent Secret Rings-esque camera view, and a few obstacles to actually jump over mid-running, I don't see how this is closer in anyway to Sonic's recent console games (except fro maybe the grinding rails, which were ever really all that bad). There's a chance that most of the stuff shown was through demonstrational-based camera angles (they did that with Sonic 2006 trailers, after all).

Even the music in the trailer sounds like something from an older Sonic game.

So what you're saying is...

It IS all the same old shit?

For the record, I liked the realistic Doctor. It was one of the very few things I thought Sonic'06 did well.

Sonic Unleashed

I could not find a thread on this so here goes...this is a new Sonic game that mixes 2D and 3D together, from what i can gather, some how Eggman traps sonic in a device, is attacked by something, the world shatters into 7 parts and Sonic turns into a werehog....yes a werehog.

Sonic Unleashed is an upcoming video game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. The name was trademarked by Sega on March 12, 2008.Screenshots of cut scenes and gameplay were posted ten days later along with a video shortly after. The title was then officially confirmed on April 3, with a small selection of screenshots and an updated video. The gameplay style is markedly different when compared to recent games. It will focus on two-dimensional platforming levels, displayed in 3D, as well as fast, fully-3D controllable stages. Gameplay will seamlessly transition between these two modes.

Finally a few pics 😄

Tried to find the eggman one but i could not, he's in his adventure style not 2006 style.

EDIT: WAIT I FOUND A THREAD THE SAME, THIS IS GOING TO BE MERGED I GUESS, SORRY ABOUT THAT!
