Okay I don't think it's just us, I just drug my wife in here who was a huge fan of NiGHTS and thought the gameplay parts looked awesome, but thought trailer was hilarious, couldn't stop laughing. Seriously Sega, what the hell?

 

[AniHawk]

Any idea if you just control this with the Wiimote or if you get to use the nunchuck?

Pretty sure it was said you have the option of using either one.

WHY WAS SEGATA SINGING KARAOKE INSTEAD OF BEING ON HIS GUARD

 

[Dragona Akehi]

Well, the movie does look better than the screens; its much harder to pick out the flaws while moving. Course this is a poor quality movie, and no idea how it'll look like on a TV screen.

Impressions eagerly anticipated

 

[Tiduz]

I dont get it, can you even die in this game? and the TCHAAAAAAAAA when you held the joker thing became annoying really fast XD

 

[thefro]

Gameplay parts exceeded my expectations, except for the lack of music in this vid.

Quality music is really going to be important. I watched the gameplay trailer while listening to a youtube video of some of the Saturn music (Splash Garden) and everything clicked really nicely.

 

[Y2Kev]

This is going to be one of those games where intelligent discussion about it on GAF is gonna be impossible for at least six months after the game's release. :lol

It has more potential than I thought, but I don't know if the team is gonna have time to really do all that much.

You die if you run out of time.

I remember an interview saying they got started after last year's E3..if that's true they would have a decent development cycle right?

 

[RamzaIsCool]

Is the game on rails or something?

 

[Illuminati]

This trailer was EXTRAVAGANT

 

[Y2Kev]

You die if you run out of time.

YOU DONT DIE!!! YOU DON'T DIE IN THIS WONDERFUL WORLD OF DREAMS

YOU JUST WAKE UP

 

[Threi]

I thought the gameplay looked decent. Graphics on the other hand looked pretty meh (not horrible.)

Approx. a year? Not that great, IMO.

To give you a gaf answer-
You've never played NiGHTS have you?

 

[schuelma]

Well, May 06 to October 07- 16-17 months?

 

[Sho Nuff]

In that it looks identical to the Saturn game?

 

[Krowley]

In motion, this looks pretty good.. The gameplay videos were hurt by the lack of music.. Once the music is there, i'm sure it will seem even better.

I wonder how this controls?

 

[Tiduz]

ok so its timebased, could be fun, heard of the original but never played it

That really is the key.

Loved the trailer.
So many years waiting for this game..*sniff*

[Kintaro]

Uh. Well, looks ok I guess. That's about the jist of it from me. It looks like Nights, that's for sure.

 

[Cosmonaut X]

Well, May 06 to October 07- 16-17 months?

If they started development immediately after E3 '06, yes, but the last info on development I saw said that they began in late 2006. Of course, that also said that development switched to Wii at that stage, so it may be that some of the conceptual/design work was already done by that stage. Still, I don't think this has had a very long dev cycle, though perhaps longer than Sonic Wii had.

 

[Y2Kev]

Well, May 06 to October 07- 16-17 months?

Link for May please. I've heard way later.

 

[Twilight Princess]

I've never played the first one, but from the look of the gameplay video, I suppose it plays like the swimming minigame in majora's mask?

 

[schuelma]

Link for May please. I've heard way later.

Sorry, don't have the link, just remember in one of the interviews the producer or whoever said they started development "right around E3" or something like that. But honestly, based on the screens you're most likely correct.

 

[A Human Becoming]

I got a Sonic Adventure 2 Battle vibe from the graphics, but it still looks smooth. Now I'm just wondering about the controls.

 

[Community Forum]

The perspective looks so weird in those videos.

Yes, I played and adore the original.

 

[castle007]

:lol at the trailer

game looks good though

 

[DSN2K]

I was just waiting for the "coming to Disney DVD" at the end.

 

[evilromero]

After seeing the Sonic Rush Adv vids I can now assume that Sega's approach is to make games identical to their predecessors.

 

[phez]

$10 says this goes the way of sonic

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

EVERYONE

EVERYONE

I JUST FILLED THE CUP

 

[thefro]

$10 says this goes the way of sonic

On-Rails = no camera problems, so I doubt that. It probably won't be as good as the first but I think it'll be easily better than the recent Sonics.

 

[Threi]

What could have prevented it from not going the way of sonic? =(

 

[Dante]

That trailer took cheese to A whole new level.

 

[rollingstart]

trailer was alright, but they are REALLY not moving away from the original formula, that is both good and bad.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

that was the stupidest thing i've ever seen.

 

[Cosmonaut X]

Weeeelll, much as I enjoyed Sonic Wii, being on rails didn't help the camera issues there. They were less of a problem further into the game as Sonic's stats improved, but at the outset the camera was very jittery - not to mention the massive problem with backing up and reversing, though at least part of that was control-related.

I THINK WE CAN LET THEM COAST FOR ONE SEQUEL

 

[RamzaIsCool]

To give you a gaf answer-

Nope, never have. But I have seen a couple of threads where people go bonanza over this game. So I am kinda intrested in what the game is about.

 

[RubxQub]

This was a preview for a Disney film...right?

Game didn't look as bad as I thought...

I'm praying!

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

GUYS I'M GOING TO WATCH IT AGAIN

 

[schuelma]

GUYS I'M GOING TO WATCH IT AGAIN

Umm..can I assume you like it?

 

[Haunted]

Well at least someone is genuinely excited.

 

[fernoca]

Classic NeoGAF...
Before the sequel was annnounced:
-Come on Sega, just port the game!
-Come on Sega, just make a sequel!
-Come on Sega, just the same game with more stages!
-Come on Sega, I don't care for the system just make another one!

After the sequel was announced:
-Sega sucks, it looks like a port of the first game!
-Sega sucks, is the same game!
-Sega sucks, the stages look the same!
-Sega sucks, this game is for Wii!

Oh well... :lol

And count me with Segata (if he's not being sarcastic):

Loved the trailer.
So many years waiting for this game..*sniff*

 

[TheGreatDave]

GUYS I'M GOING TO WATCH IT AGAIN

What's your favourite part, Segata?!

 

[RurouniZel]

I just cried tears of joy.
