Holy crap.

Dont forget what galaxy and prime pulled off at 60fps. This is just 30fps, so there really is no reason it shouldnt look like this. This is sega though, so i understand your point lol, game does indeed look great. The last section in secret rings was beautiful as well.

Those screens look pretty nice. The sword however ruins everything...

While for this game, I can actually tolerate 30 frames since I don't recall any Zelda games running in 60 frames anyway, where did you see this being confirmed?

As far as screens go, the game looks pretty damn good (even if Zelda-ish). I can't remember the last Sonic game I bought, probably Adventure 2 on the Cube, but if this shapes up to be a good game I'll definitely considering getting it. It's Sega though, not getting my hopes up.

cjelly · (12-01-2008, 06:20 PM)

This doesn't look like it should be a Sonic game.

Gagaman · (12-01-2008, 06:22 PM)

Remember how cartoon characters like Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny would show up in completely different themed worlds and timezones and never had one main 'home' location? It seems like Sega are taking Sonic in that sort of direction. It's a way to appeal to more people, I guess. I don't excatly love the direction either (I miss the surreal designs of the old games as much as anyone else) but I can understand their reason for doing it. People that might not normally be interested in Sonic may be intriqued by the Zelda like scenery and sword play...maybe. *shrugs*

Hero of Legend · (12-01-2008, 06:25 PM)

Look what we have here:

Actual rail grinding that's not on floating rails out of nowhere that are above bottomless pits! :O

It was a while back when the game was first talked about and the new controls were mentioned...as least i believe it was. I hope Im dead wrong and the next video we are shown is him in the grass field with it running at 60.

Only 30? Nevermind then.

Whoa... And they didn't focus exclusively on this why? Jesus, it beats the shit outta Unleashed and even some moments in Secret Rings!

WalterMclure · (12-01-2008, 06:39 PM)

This needs looking into. No, not the game.No, not the "Sonic Cycle".

Ever notice how whenever a new Sonic game comes out, an entire forum community will turn into a house full of 4 year olds that whine for hours because something that was meant to be out of their hands is doing something they don't approve of? We need to name this...

Thanks! And they have the full-sized, unwatermarked pics as well.

Here are all of them:

Swinging a sword while grinding on a suspended rail seems like a bad idea.

EmCeeGramr · (12-01-2008, 06:48 PM)

I guess the "darker color" and "changed model" really were just the compression on the pictures, because that looks like his SatSR model to me.

Fanboydestroyer · (12-01-2008, 06:51 PM)

I actually did like Secret Rings, so maybe I would like this game. Don't know about the sword though. I do like the screenshots and the trailer I saw. Of course I'm a sucker for trailers especially Sonic trailers. I get all excited, and then I um play the game and I get sad.

Well I know to expect the following;

crappy voice overs
lame plot
lame friends
a lame gimmick I guess that would be the sword.
controls will probably be slippery

I hope they axe that stupid mission based structure from Secret Rings. Oh and add more levels with loops, what's the deal with the lack of loops in Secret Rings? It's not a Sonic game unless there is loops.

Slayer-33 · (12-01-2008, 06:51 PM)

holy shit it's zelda

feels like it for some reason.

WalterMclure · (12-01-2008, 06:53 PM)

I'm interested in the game but honestly I hate the "ninja" run. Fuck that. I saw this video of these dorks in Naruto costumes doing that shit and it looks so stupid. Developers need to stop putting that crap in games, people don't run like that and it looks dumb.

That ''run'' is older that naruto.

That one is Kakariko Village, and as I mentioned before the lava is from the Goron Mines.

Hyrule Field!

Faron Woods!

Castle Town!

Aaand... a howling stone?

Werehog confirmed!

lol at the Zelda references. Never noticed them before. But wow alot of those scenes look like they were directly taken from the Zelda games.

What's wrong with the traditional formula? Why does it need to be sidestepped?

It's like they never learn.

The heart is long dead and gone.

Now Sega is ripping out the remaining arteries.

if only SEGA had had the balls to market an entirely new character instead of using Sonic as a crutch

Less of a crutch and more of a money machine imo.

that being the opinion of a guy who mostly stays out of sales-age threads.

I am not sure what are you guys refering to, is it the same "run" that Marth use in Smash Bros.?

Probably. Running and just letting their hands/weapon be behind their body.

Agalloch · (12-01-2008, 07:41 PM)

Wow, now i want a Zelda (or Zelda-like with Sonic

) game that looks like this...
i like this polish and coloured Sega-style graphics, and this grass, fields and lava screens

Kard8p3 · (12-01-2008, 07:42 PM)

I think the game is looking awesome. Sonic in zelda like environments can easily be better than any 3D sonic game if they put enough work into it. Do we know when this game is supposed to come out?

Icomeinpeace · (12-01-2008, 07:48 PM)

Finally Sonic goes back to its roots.

As always Sonic games of today never look like a Sonic game, even Nintendo with Smash did a better job at making a proper Sonic environment than Sega.

Game looks fucking stunning. Will buy.

If you start a slide just before going into a ledge section and hold it, he will slide across the ledge quickly(and with style!) as opposed to him doing the whole wall press crap. Makes the game flow so much better, give it a try. Its a nice way to carve some time off of your speed runs as well.
