Spoiler:

That picture is my wallpaper, because it's in hidef and it's FUNNY.

Also this pic pretty much describes my feelings in regards to the reaction to this game.

NOSTALGIAFAGS, THE LOT OF YOU. WAIT FOR SOME GAMEPLAY IMPRESSIONS KTHNX.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Sin Ansem · Mar 24, 2008, 09:25 PM

I'm not even irritated about the apparent "It's going to suck". I'm more irritated about the complaining of "ZOMG TEH WULF SAWNIK" There's SO many legit red flags (like Sonic Team USA's involvment) and you're bitching about a PLOT?! This is why we should ignore games like this and not hype it as "the next suck". I'm just fine and dandy kicking people's asses in Brawl with Sonic, I don't need another 3-D game reminding me why everyone ignores Sonic Advance 3.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Sin Ansem · Mar 24, 2008, 09:54 PM

I'd like a decent game too. This game doesn't look to deliver (it's like Sonic Rivals with what little challenge stripped out). Sonic Chronicles looks good gameplay wise DESPITE the fanfictiony crap coming out of it, this game does not. If it's good, I don't CARE if it plays anything like the classics or brings obnoxious new characters in. I don't get why this is the only fandom that bitches about additions totally irrelevant to gameplay, thus my apparent RAGE and such.

I apologize for the caps and angry words but the general stance stays.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Sin Ansem · 10:33 PM

^Umm no don't put words in my mouth. Sonic Advance 3 doesn't play like the classics at all and it's good to put an example. Shadow in comparison is shit because of shitty controls, level layout and frustrating missions, not because he sold out.

Watching Sonic fans derail topics to bitch about why he's not like he was in the old days in when he is only briefly mentioned in an unrelated subject, I have never seen that in any other fandom.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Sin Ansem · Mar 25, 2008, 10:37 PM

That read was kinda interesting.

No wait, I should take that back. That was a damn good analysis. I'd rather not hype myself on this game though. :/

I was speaking idiomatically.

Sin Ansem · Mar 28, 2008, 08:39 AM

I'll start getting more worried if he starts piloting a landmaster, but that joke has already been used in this thread.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Sin Ansem · Mar 29, 2008, 08:36 AM

Apparently gamestop already has this on their reserve lists, which is a bigger Red flag than this wereSonic crap. Only a year and a half development max. ;_;

FELIPE NO

Sonic Is Unleashed!
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.

It's been in development for... three years? Huh?

I'm still not hyped yet, but I hear ONM will have a playtest run next week, so I wonder if it's shaping up to be anything good. Also note what they say about the sunset.

Connections to that werehog, perhaps?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Sonic Unleashed Wii News - NeoGAF

Quote:

Some interesting tidbits, via magazine:

From the latest edition of Official Nintendo Magazine (UK&IRL):
(Since there can be no scans)

- Screenshots of the Wii version basically identical to what we have seen on the net of the game so far

- Wii version described as "Shiny next-gen visuals"

- The werewolf Sonic sections are "slightly slower, yet a more agile beast" than the ordinary Sonic sections

- A one page interview with the games Lead Designer, Yoshihisa Hashimoto. Describes the game as no relation to Secret Rings or original 360/PS3 Sonic title- "more in common to Sonic Adventure titles".

- Yoshihisa says that as well as the Wii Remote "players will also be using the Nunchuck"

So I'm expecting massive amounts of "AHA! I FOUND AN IDEA THAT DISAGREES WITH WHAT I THINK A SONIC GAME MUST HAVE! IT WILL SUCK!" I'm still waiting for some hands-on impressions.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Sin Ansem · Apr 9, 2008, 10:57 PM

^From that same link it's been said that the Wii is the base system for it. It will be touched up for the 360/PS3 and downgraded for the PS2.

Most amazing jew boots

More gameplay which is nice... but this looks like the bastard child of Secret Rings and Sonic Rush, and I don't know if that's a good thing.

Kotaku posted some article about it, and there was so much goddamn ignorance I wanted to reach into my computer and smash somebody's balls.

The hype, especially from NON-Sonic fans, stuns me. Where did all the equally asinine naysaying go? Why is everyone ignoring his 2-D games post 1994?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Teaser trailer.

I was impressed somewhat, but now we see how the game PLAYS come E3. GAMEPLAY IMPRESSIONS, LET US HAVE THEM.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Sin Ansem · Jul 15, 2008, 06:40 PM

Nostalgiafaggotry, I'm drowning in it!

That being said, WereSonic gameplay is uhh... what now?

Sin Ansem · Jul 15, 2008, 08:00 PM

I think they should reuse the Sonic 06 soundtrack. It's great, nobody played that piece of shit and I think such epic music shouldn't go to waste.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Sin Ansem · Jul 15, 2008, 09:03 PM

You should know the difference between "troll" and "extremely bitter". I am the latter.

Of course before we even saw WereSonic's gameplay, nearly everyone was all "lol I expect shitty camera angles and gameplay I don't like". Nobody was even talking about gameplay impressions, all you have to go on is the usual "LOL Sega Hype" and "LOL this doesn't even vaguely resemble S3&K in the third dimension, I'm going home" which pisses me off. I wouldn't be as nearly as disagreeable if we actually HAD any gameplay impressions at this point.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

GameSpot Video: Sonic Unleashed E3 2008 Stage Show Demo

I'm somewhat skeptical. Sonic's going Dynasty Warriors or something.

Apparently there's less control/camera issues. What I'm worried about is... will it blend? (inb4WillItBlendjokes)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

EVEN MOAR FURFAG FANSERVICE

I find it highly disturbing that the Werehog looks more fun than regular Soni*shot*

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Sin Ansem · Oct 15, 2008, 11:58 AM

The fandom is fucking hopeless, so you might have an impossible request right there son (lol Kaguya).

That being said, I'm not sure what to make of this, Sega is always adding crap in to make shit look cool to the youngsters since 1991. But I lost hype for this game when the wolfhog looked more interesting to play than the normal BS. That's not a good sign guys sorry.

The fact that some minor character in completely skippable cutscenes ruined SRA on the other hand, however, is totally laughable.

If you'll excuse me, I have to grind through Chronicles so I can turn the shit in for Castlevania.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Sonic Unleashed

Go browse around and check out the awesome MUSIC!

Using the UK instead of the US site because it has wonderful orchestral music.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Sin Ansem · Nov 19, 2008, 02:03 PM

I'll second that.

BTW, Wii version is out. No glitches or bad controls, but nobody likes the werehog so I'm seeing average scores across the board. WiiS2 version also lack two fucking stages, so until the 360 version is out looks like I'll be missing any chance to watch the internetspaces to pirate the rather awesome soundtrack.

How ya doing, buddy?

Sin Ansem · Nov 23, 2008, 01:29 AM

Funny that. Wii version has split apart the Werehog stages and by extension made them longer. And there are less day stages.

It looks like the 360 one is better, but the Wii one will sell more.

And of course, no sig for me.

FELIPE NO

Sin Ansem · Nov 25, 2008, 09:43 AM

Soundtrack of the year, perhaps second only to Brawl.

YouTube - Sonic Unleashed OST: Empire City Day Stage

Now if anyone knows where I can bypass his douchery and download this song (and the night version as well) I'll be grateful.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Sin Ansem · Nov 26, 2008, 04:54 PM

Ugh, once again I'm in the minority of Sonic opinions, even as far as the fans go. Sonic 06 had perhaps the best soundtrack that year, but the rest of the game blew chunks so nobody noticed. Likewise I think Tomoya Ohtani is one of the better Sonic composers but of course since it's not 1994 nobody will notice.

And I know you're probably nowhere near serious but in the 0.0001% chance you are, if you're only liking the game for the chili dog reference you seriously need to leave and ignore Sonic games forever.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
