Sonic Unleashed

Looks like they're finally going 2D gameplay in a 3D world with Sonic...

This might actually make up for "Sonic The Hedgehog" on 360/PS3.

[Vinchenz Rock]

I plan on getting it for the Wii.

[ASR]

Is this for the Wii? I'm guessing it's at least multi-console, and even though I own a 360, I'd still prefer it for the Wii.

...because this one actually looks promising.

[Johncarllos]

I saw a clip from that that looked like a 3rd person fight against a few robots.
I also read from the site that it does seem to be 3D in movement, the shots just seem to be from an angle that makes it look like 2D gameplay.

I really hope somebody can prove me wrong.

Also, the "Unleashed" Sonic looks badasssssssss.

It's in German but Google Translation mentions that it's going to be a cover story in both PLAY magazine and Official Nintendo Magazine.

Looks nice, but I hope it's better than Sonic Adventure rush or whatever you call that crap. My favorite Sonic game stands as SA2, this probably won't change that.

[NovaMan XP]

My favorite one was SA1 on the Dreamcast.

Never got a chance to really play SA DX that much.

[Cherry]

I'm very old-school when it comes to Sonic.  My favorites are Sonic 1 - Sonic & Knuckles.  I'm hoping this will be similar to MMX8 in gameplay, too.  I want 2D movement back.

I wonder what systems it'll appear on...

[Vinchenz Rock]

SA2:B is my favourite 3D Sonic game.

And you know what? I actually liked the music in the 3D Sonic games. Open Your Heart, Live and Learn... my favourite is What I'm Made Of.

[ChaosVortex]

SA2:B is my favourite 3D Sonic game.

And you know what? I actually liked the music in the 3D Sonic games. Open Your Heart, Live and Learn... my favourite is What I'm Made Of.

I agree on the former. Halfway on the latter. I liked "What I'm Made Of", but I like "His World" more.

But my favorite Sonic game of all time is Sonic 2.

[Vinchenz Rock]

But my favorite Sonic game of all time is Sonic 2.

Agreed. Followed by S3&K.

[NovaMan XP]

D'oh! I meant to say SA1 was my favorite 3D Sonic game.

Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles are my 2D favorites. Sonic 2 being a little bit more.

I seem to replay Sonic 2 alot more than the others.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

As far as 2D Sonic games go, I'd have to say Sonic 3 and Knuckles is my all time favorite.
As for 3D Sonic games, I greatly enjoyed SA2B. SADXDC was enjoyable. SH was... playable at best. Shadow was funny at some points, never fun to play though. SatSR gave me AIDS.

I'd like to say "Oh, maybe Sega's going to turn around the series with this one."
But I highly doubt this'll be much better than the rest of the recent installments to the series.

UUh-greeeeeed. I have completely lost faith. With each game that they release, I think that it's going to redeem Sonic... and it doesn't. The only thing that brings Sonic even close to his roots is SSBB, because he's the only character from the series, and his stage/some of his music is from the origional.

Now, if SEGA really wanted to go back to their roots and make some sick bank while at it, they would mash Sonic 1, 2, 3, and Knuckles together into a 3D side scrolling masterpiece... but we all know that will never happen.

[Edgecrusher]

I really hope that video is using artful camera angles, and not a sign of what the in game camera is going to be like.

Sonic is the only other character who can claim his series was more nerfed than Mega Man...

[dzx9]

Honestly, I never understood the appeal of Sonic to begin with.

[Snare]

He runs pretty fast.

[Abominator]

He has ATTITUDE.

[Mikero]

Yeah, MAN.

SADX is far superior to any incarnation of SA2 and is better than SA, you stupids.

I really don't care about this game right now, but I hope it's good.

[Johncarllos]

SADX is superior to all other 3D sonic games.

[Majikn]

Honestly, I never understood the appeal of Sonic to begin with.

I liked the character, but I never had any real fun with the games. Also, the idea of Chaos Emeralds appealed to me for reasons that may or may not be really obvious.

It didn't help that I was Nintendo-obsessed as a kid, but whatever. I saw someone playing Sonic once and I thought "Hey, that looks cool," and then forgot about it and went back to my SNES. Later, I tried out some Game Gear Sonic and then Sonic Adventure 2, but I never finished either game.

[yuri]

Sonic sucks. N0085

[preventerWIND]

I guess he discovered the color option, aww ain't he cute?


K, lets gut him already.

[Rama Olendris]

Ugh, I hoped that Sonic would die 11 years ago when I was 9. I never really liked him to begin with but as time went by I just started to really hate him...

I do have respect for the blue one-eyed bastard though.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

...I'm pretty sure Sonic has two eyes...

[NovaMan XP]

...what the #####?

...I'm pretty sure Sonic has two eyes...

He has one eye "ball" and two pupils.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

...That's Sonic 'unleashed'?
Wow, that's... stupid.

[NovaMan XP]

It looks like Sonic mixed with a gorilla... and a grizzly bear.

Grizzly Gorilla the Hedgehog.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Hm... I think I see a trend of game titles ending in Unleashed beginning to form.

[preventerWIND]

"I was a teenaged Sonic"

Is a more appropriate title.

Seriously, they dun *****'d it up again! TOLD YUH!

[Johncarllos]

And he STILL has skinny legs while unleashed.

[preventerWIND]

I thought since there was apparently human hawt chicks in the Sonic series, "unleashed" would mean something else.

[Johncarllos]

I'd play that game.

[yuri]

Dudes! Chicks? What the h*** are those?!

[ChaosVortex]

...what the #####?

... No. That... that was horrible.

[Vinchenz Rock]

It still might be good. >_>

[Captain Sanoguchi]

No, it won't.

[Vinchenz Rock]

lol judging a book based on its cover

[preventerWIND]

lol judging a book based on its cover

AND that most new Sonic games have been trash.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Yeah but THIS BE 2.5DEEE!!!

We'll see if Sega tried for this or not. <_<

[TheRedPriest]

How about, instead of forcing some #####ing gimmick into the game (lulz FLUDD, lulz URA WULF, lul beast Sonic?) you just focus on solid gameplay with your character NOT #####ed up to incorporate unnecessary and detracting game elements to make it "different".

[Orange Devil]

This is just another "Far Cry" remake. Don't be fooled.

[Abominator]

Far Cry was cack.

[Orange Devil]

I had Far Cry Instincts. I liked the graphics and the gameplay and everything, but the very fact that they re released the same game 5 or 6 times rapes it of all credibility.

[Cherry]

Assuming it comes out on a platform I own, I'm still gonna take a look at it.  ...Weird wolf-Sonic or not. <_<

[Xero]

Needz less wolf sonic and moar chao.

[dzx9]

chao secks ftw

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Unleashed Chao will be giant, blue, naked body builders... With yellow balls on their heads.

[ASR]

I saw that picture last week or so and shook my head.

I personally don't care much, let's just see how it turns out and maybe I'll consider buying it.
