All these ramps going in all these directions better mean it's going back to the Genesis roots, with tons of paths through a level. If all that shit is a backdrop for Dreamcast gameplay, or worse, Wii gameplay, it's going to suck major ass.

Post by: CurseoftheGods on March 22, 2008, 11:36:02 PM: Corrected after getting new info.

New info from the Sonic Stadium forums:

+ The game shares elements with SatSR (whether it's on rails is still not known). 360/PS3 (Wii unconfirmed lol).
+ All the levels have ~~brief~~ 2.5D platforming ~~bits~~.
+ Seems like Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are the only playable characters.
- Sonic turns into a werewolf in the evening stages. Werewolf has different gameplay mechanics.
~~- "Spiritual sequel" to Sonic 06. :-\~~

From day one on the Genesis, I've never understood what anyone has seen in that series and the Adventure games were even worse. The only pleasure I take from seeing the games resurface every now and then is watching everyone get their hopes up only to be kicked in the balls yet again....for the umpteenth time.

Judging by the screenshot comparison, it looks like these are indeed PS360 shots/ videos, but the Wii might be the lead platform. That would explain the reduction in polycount, lower res textures, and the removal of effects like normal mapping compared to Sonic the Hedgehog.

I loved the original Genny games. But I could see your point of view. More than fifty percent of the levels in the old Genesis games are passive speed demos, watching Sonic blaze through the landscape and going round and round in circular ramps.

That's only true if you're talking about the first level of each of the Genesis Sonic titles or the entire Sonic Rush series. It's true that they had a huge emphasis on speed, but the original Sonic games (especially 3 & Knuckles) were platformers at heart -- only difference is that they focused more on running than jumping. The spinball physics were also a lot of fun to play around with. Calling them "passive speed demos" is ridiculous.

By "spiritual sequel to Sonic 06" I assume that means the emo FF-style cutscenes (FF = Furry Fantasy) and craptacular sidequests will be making a reappearance. And by "different gameplay mechanics" I assume they mean really shitty gameplay mechanics.

You misunderstood me. I was stating the known criticisms of the original Genesis games. I loved those games to death and they were among my favorite experiences in the 16 bit era. Mark Macdonald, formerly of EGM/1up was known for his hatred of the Sonic series would always mention that he just though Sonic was just about watching Sonic run through levels. I personally do not agree. The series peaked at Sonic 3 and Knuckles, which had extensive platforming.

Why, magic 8 ball, signs point to yes. After all, we are talking about the same people who liked sonic adventure.

this is goign to end up the same way all past sonic games have ended up

"wow this may be the first sonic i get since sonic and knuckles i hope it doesn't suck"

*the game blows"

"fuck"

*new sonic game revealed*'

"Holy shit, they NAILED it. The last sonic game sucked but THIS...THIS COULD BE IT."

Post by: CurseoftheGods on March 23, 2008, 04:06:10 AM: Because it gets pretty tiring being pessimistic all the time. I for one, would love to play a Sonic game with 3D graphics that doesn't suck. I'll be honest, chances are that Sega is going to fuck me over once again, but I don't think I'll hurt anyone by being a little cautious and optimistic about the title.

Post by: CurseoftheGods on March 23, 2008, 12:25:00 PM: German mag got a PR sheet from the Sega Europe server :

"Sonic the Hedgehog returns for a full-blown, action-packed adventure through the desolate and unpredictable World of Mubuz, a world dictated by an evil Dragon Lord, Immarius.
Upon entering Muboz, Sonic fights an evil power which turns all the inhabitants into dangerous beasts.

1. Become Wolf Sonic and fight enemies like never before using rapid combo manouvers and Ring Energy
2. Play as Sonic, Knuckles or Tails through 12 packed stages
3. Extensive gameplay brings 2D Sonic gameplay back to home consoles"

"SEGA Confirms a release in 2008, 2D-Gameplay and, so far, 3 playable characters only
Our surces indicate a presentation during SEGA Gamer’s Day in May at “E3 Time” and reveal a worldwide Launch in November 2008. We have tons of more info on SEGA Gamer’s Day, a possible OutRun 3 and … the Release of Yakuza 2 and 3 in the West. Stay tuned, guys! "

SEGA's newest Sonic title is set to combine amazing next gen capabilities with classic Sonic 2D gameplay!

LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (April 3, 2008) – SEGA® of America and SEGA of Europe Ltd., today announced that everyone’s favourite hedgehog will be breaking new ground yet maintaining his roots, in the upcoming title, Sonic Unleashed™. Developed by renowned studio Sonic Team, the latest installment in the multi-million selling franchise, will take players on an unforgettable high-speed journey around the globe in a way never before experienced in the world of Sonic. The game is set for release later this year and will be available for the Xbox 360™ videogame and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, Wii™ home video game system from Nintendo and PLAYSTATION®2.

Sonic Unleashed is built on a powerful new “Hedgehog Engine”, which introduces seamless 3D to classic 2D camera transitions, whilst delivering a rich and expansive world with multiple paths to choose from. Under development for three years, the Hedgehog Engine produces a visually rich next generation look and feel with elements of classic Sonic gameplay mechanics. The Hedgehog engine will help re-define the gameplay experience for Sonic fans and newcomers to the franchise alike.

“By combining rich and vibrant scenery with dynamic viewpoints Sonic Unleashed will provide an immersive 3D experience whilst keeping alive the 2D gameplay elements and fantastic worlds that Sonic fans know and love” commented Gary Knight, European Marketing Director for SEGA Europe. “In addition to this classic Sonic gaming experience, when darkness sets in Sonic Unleashed players will be able to experience a completely new way to play as Sonic… making this his most exciting adventure yet!”

Having been broken apart by the evil Dr Eggman, it’s down to Sonic to put the pieces of the world back together again by retrieving the power of the chaos emeralds. In doing so, Sonic will find himself in a race against time and faced with an unusual situation that will challenge him in ways never before seen. By completing a wide variety of action-packed stages, spanning the seven broken continents of the world, gamers will need to unleash Sonic’s amazing abilities to save the world, and himself!

The opportunity to engage in Sonic in different ways during the day and night time levels brings a completely original way of playing to the Sonic franchise, in addition to running at high speeds in classic Sonic style, combat fighting will become possible. Super quick Sonic’s speed skills will be highlighted by four new modes, whilst the all new combat, movement and functional abilities will offer depth and variety to the game. As the sun sets in Sonic Unleashed, a different type of adventure will awaken in Sonic’s newest quest….

Sonic Unleashed is scheduled for release worldwide in late 2008.

Funny, I don't recognize any of those worlds. Aside from the 2d game elements there's nothing else here to give this old burnt out fan any hope. I'm still awaiting the Contra-esc screen shots with Shadow to appear and shots of Silver's amazing block pushing puzzles. Though admittedly a Contra style game with Sonic 2d gameplay does sound interesting (only if it's not called Sonic).

Post by: CurseoftheGods on April 03, 2008, 05:10:58 PM: I don't mind if the 3D (behind Sonic) on-rail sections are brief. Keep that shit for Sonic and the Secret Rings.

I really hope the 2D platforming is also not on rails. That would really blow.

The camera seems too close for the player to determine what's coming up ahead? Maybe that's just for the movie tho
