Just noticed this on xbox360fanboy.com: http://www.xboxyde.com/gallery_3532_en.html Thought everyone might enjoy them. k
I just hope they don't junk it up with other playable characters. I hated playing as Knuckles in Sonic Adventure... and Sonic Adventure 2 was an even bigger disaster.
As long as they make up for making Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog... I'll be happy. I also hear that Sonic on the Wii is shaping up to be really good.
They've bastardised my childhood to such an extent now that I'll just be happy if one of the new games is even halfway worthwhile.
The graphics look weird: the characters are high-poly models (I heard 1 millon each) yet the level graphics look barely above DCs levels, with only better FXs and textures, but the same poly count. Cuz leasing sucks:lol: J/k, thats silver the hedgehog (kudos for innovation in names Naka-san...) who has mystical-mojo-telekinetic powers and can lift shit and trow it at enemies and IRS people.
I agree: Big jaggies and lots of large flat surfaces, it doesn't honestly look much better than an Xbox game. I imagine it'll get a facelife before shipping though. EDIT: hey, the new board software doesn't stretch the entire page when someone posts a large image. Much better.
The irony is that in the adventure games (of smae gameplay) you barely get any close uos of the characters outside some scripted moves and cutscenes, reason why they made mid-poly models for sonic and friends and detailed levels back in the day. They should do the same again...
Ahh the new software might not stretch the whole page but it would still be nicer if everyone linked large images. Seems to confuse my laptops scroll wheel,
I assumed it wasn't Sonic, hence the question mark at his name but god...I think anyone hoping for a return to basics may end up disappointed. I won't judge the new direction there yet but it's not great.
I just hope this doesn't end up like the Sonic Adventure 2 & Heroes series. I did miss the Adventure mode taken away from the later games...
Well I liked the anime-esque look of SonicCD more, but this one (from the adventure games) is far better than the fatty sonic from the early 90s...
