Sonic the Hedgehog demo on Xbox Live... but it's a disaster

[Mondain]

fuck this is messed-up! it has to be some of the most messed-up controls and camera system EVER! God fortunately it's some early E3 build, like 40% of the times I couldn't even see what the fuck was going on and where the hell I was heading! at some points I kept falling in the same cliff like 10 consecutive times lol

good graphics, but the framerate is unstable when there's a lot of action on screen... but then again we have an early build

they've implemented Havok physics, but fuck it's like the worst idea ever! you run into barrels and stuff and it does nothing but to keep you from moving smoothly when you collide with objects... what a fucking catastrophe!

I'm still going to rent this in November though, plus maybe the PS3 build's graphics will flow at a more steady framerate too...

[Himu]

Sonic Wii is the light!

The demo is old. I'd imagine they cleaned it up by now. There you go exaggerating things again.

[MrAngryFace]

Funny, I came in this thread expecting Himuro to be the person exaggerating.

[Phoenix Dark]

Sonic Wii is the light!

Amen.

And Demi: like the final product will be any good. Oh how good graphics cloud the mind of the weak

[Van Cruncheon]

Sonic Wii looks vastly more playable, despite the ghastly graphics. Then again, considering that it uses the Wii waggle to poorly ape control stick actions for novelty's sake, why the fuck can't they port it to the 360, but with decent graphics?

[demi]

what the fuck? did you call me a graphics whore? i am playing my X on a shit TV, you think I care about graphics? shut up, putz.

You mean the PS3? The PS3 controller could easily emulate the controls seen in the Wii Sonic. And it would have superior graphics.

[MrAngryFace]

Haha, you mean the PS3's half baked tacked on controller? Wtf grow a brain.

[Mondain]

eh well, my second gameplay experience was far more enjoyable... boy is this game prettily animated

I hope that other levels in this game are bigger than this and aren't filled with cliffs everywhere, if so it could work

[Phoenix Dark]

Have you seen it in action? Have you seen Lair? Exact same control mechanics as Sonic, Tony Hawk, and Excite Truck.

[Himu]

PS3 controller looks like a half baked Wii controller without full waggle and rumble.

Warhawk looked terrible.

[MrAngryFace]

Shut up Nintendo.

[Phoenix Dark]

Lair looks much better Himu. And based on the MGS4 trailer, it looks like the controller does some cool stuff in that too.

[Mondain]

woah, complete turnover

I've played the demo a couple times and now find this game to be great! Sonic games are some of the most fun to replay over and over again

it's really smooth and pretty, I'd like the Xbox 360 a whole lot more if there were more fantasy games like that

the controls and camera take some getting used to... what pisses off people the most and make them constantly die I think, is having to jump from rope to rope... after you get it it's great fun, I can now complete the demo with ease

I now eagerly await to buy the PS3 version of this

It does suck.
