SonicStadium.org has posted 15 pics of what could be Sonic Unleashed, the pics were taken from one "SEGA's FTP" portals. Here the link to the pics: http://www.sonicstadium.org/sonicnews/437/
Here is a gameplay video. http://www.sega-magazin.de/segaon/2008/03/23/segas-sonic-unleashed-we-have-the-video/ It looks like a combination of Sonic Rush and Sonic and the Secret Rings. If it is a Wii game, it looks gorgeous. I am not too keen on the camera changing all the time, though.
They shoulda kept Sonic leashed this time. It looks like they wanna make Sonic Rush in 3D. Besides jumping over holes though the game plays itself for you. This looks horrible just like everything Sonic has been since the DC
Well, if it is on the Wii let's hope they've thrown those God awful controls from Secret Rings out the window. Yakumo
I agree, the only redeeming feature from the Secret Rings were the party mini games (which really was a game in itself) only downside is you had to play the whole main game to unlock the full party mode (or download a save like i did) I did hear speculation that it was coming out for all next gen consoles (360, PS3, Wii) so lets hope they fix the controls this time round
I'll be highly surprised if this game turns out to be any good. Sega just don't seem to spend long enough making Sonic games - they should follow Nintendos example with Mario.
I mean the proper platform Mario games, Nintendo release these really slowly, spend years on them coming up with new ideas. Sega rush out 3D Sonic platform games too quickly, and it always shows through with crappy cameras and dodgy controls. Sega could still release sonic games in spin-offs to keep the character in the public eye like nintendo do with mario kart and so on.
Paper Mario was made by Intelligent Systems though. I don't think Sonic ever worked in 3D. It was designed around 2D stages and the speed does not work well in an open environment. Mario works because it is slower and more time was spent developing it for a 3D world. Sonic Adventure seemed pretty rushed, and every game after has built on that weak foundation, rather than trying to redevelop it.
There is no way in hell what was shown is a Wii game. It's posible it will be a 3 platform title PS3/360/Wii in the end but definantly not flat out a wii game. I must say, it looks awsome. Sadly the PSP Sonic games were supost to be like this (2d sonic gameplay but visualy 3d) untill sega of japan cocked it up (i work with a designer from Digital Eclipse).
That looked so freaking awesome !!!! Omg... but, I'm a huge sucker for sonic... Let me say the music was good too. Every sonic 3D game has such shitty music. Also , I loved secret rings... controls were a bit off, but it was a step in the right direction, fun game imo. But, holy shit the music was the most godaweful thing ever.
Don't mention those words! I thought those screenshots were fake anyway? I know the gameplay was real but the graphics didn't look as good as the screenshots. Anyway the last good sonic game was on the DC but the DS one looks good underground but then again its not being made by sega
I'm in the minority of people that think Next Gen sonic was good. I'll check that out if A) it's real and B) it's on 360
