Before you took that pic down...did anyone notice those little chao fairies?

Just so I got this straight, we're not allowed to show scans that have already been showed on the net from another website (Albiet MSPainted)?

This is really nice. Last March I flipped out on Sega, quite literally (don't make me post it), when the HD Unleashed screens leaked. I'm talking bomba. I was pissed they ignored the Secret Rings sales and advancements.
But this is a nice surprise. Hopefully we'll get one or two more of these games on the Wii before this gen is over. ^_^

Ill admit it...for the first time since sonic and knuckles, Im fucking hyped for a sonic game, i cant believe it.
RobbieNick said:
Yeah, you can't post magazine scans, period -- except for their covers and, apparently, the teaser on the last page of Nintendo Power.
That goes for scans of magazines from the United States, Japan, Europe, Middle Earth, Alpha Centauri -- wherever.

Ya see, this is why I stay cool.
Trusted my gut on some of newly revealed Wii games (CV Wii) and they all look cool to me atleast now that I can see direct feed screens and vids.
Looking forward to this.

So yeah, I saw the scans. First of all I'm glad that it's not first person.
Second of all the fact that you can actually control Sonic means it will be better than Sonic Unleashed.

Is there something odd about Unleashed controls?
Or are you refering to the roller-coster-ride-like Gameplay?

Yeah. . .I don't like that either. More like a long CG button command plateformer than anything else from the vids I have seen.
Good thing Dimps is on the Wii version. . . controls are said to be different plus we already know how good their level design looks.
Black-Wind said:
Well most of the button commands show in the unleashed videos are just normal commands in game. The B button slide attack is just Sonic crouching while running. Im guessing those are some sort of tutorial commands that you'll probably be able to turn off in the retail version. The QTE sequence with the timing meter though, thats exactly what it looks like.
Of course with Dimps doing Unleashed Wii and PS2 versions, does that mean a new Rush wont be showing up anytime soon?

Oh wait, didn't you guys here. Sega is a gimmick in itself now. They take Sonic and place him in a shitty gimmick and then wait to see the fans reaction and laugh at them for hoping that a great Sonic game will come out.
It's the greatest heel gimmick in video games today. Even better than EA's buying everyone and everything.

I dunno. The things they've said so far have really turned me off from the game.AzureJericho said:

Yeah, but some of the things in that trailer looked way too fast to do without on-screen help. . .I don't even know wth was happening at the part where Sonic had to do some crap load of fast turns.
Seems like they are focusing too much on blinding speed. . . .seems like speed and new friends are what Sega is relying on to carry the series and they shouldn't.
We all get that Sonic's thing is speed. . . but there is a such thing as too much of a good thing. Level design and other basic features should be focused on first so that they can drop this roller-coster-ride gameplay. Thats why I like Dimps, they seem to get that.
And speaking of Sonic Rush. . .. I hope Blaze is one of the friends you can play as.
Nunchuck Control: That's good!
Another excuse for a character to babble about the bloody obvious throughout the entire level: That's bad!
(Just give me a "shut up annoying voices" option already!)
If that "classic 2D action" isn't just slowly shifting along wall edges like in SatSC: That's good!
Oh god, they used that "back to his roots" quote again. It won't be! If they were they would be about gaining momentum by rolling on hills, not searching for townsfolk.
All in all sounds like an improvement on SatSC in places though, which is always a good thing, and the screenshots look better than the Unleashed ones we;ve seen for Wii so far.

The problem with Secret Rings was that there were too many missions that weren't very good, yet there were enough that the game could've been an old school Genesis game in 3D since there were different paths for some of the goals (don't get hit/die). It seemed like Sonic Unleash was headed in the right direction... but then hedgehogwolf sonic. And this one sounds even less like SATSR.

I really hated the controls of Sonic and the Secret Rings though. Maybe it was just me being an idiot, but I found something as simple as estimating a jump was much more difficult than it would be with a stick. So I'm glad they're switching back to it.
It's also a new Sonic game, which means it's going to take a lot more positive impressions than Nintendo Power to convince me it'll be good, but I know I'll end up buying the two Unleashed games and this

I liked Sonic Wii's controls. It's not like Sonic is particularly precise with an analog stick, anyway.

Get some good speed and start sliding right before you get to a wall shuffle section and he will slide across the ledge instead of shuffling as long as you dont let the button go...it looks so nice and moves much, much faster.Gagaman said:

It was the whole speed up/slow down thing I didn't like. Moving from side to side was fine.

You're not getting me this time, Sega. Not this god damn time. I'll get hyped when it gets good reviews.

True enough, but that can be designed around. Secret Rings forced you to back up for really retarded reasons.TheGreatDave said:
I think this game is taking everything I liked about Secret Rings and changing it while taking everything I hated about Secret Rings and either retaining or promising to improve it (which they won't).

You hold 2 and release to jump. You do homing attacksby thrusting the remote forwards, which feels awesome.

Moving backwards. Now that sucked ass.

Yeah, the fully upgraded sonic was so much more enjoyable. The trick also works better when he is upgraded, since he doesnt lose speed once he starts sliding.Gagaman said:

You can hate waggle all you want, but you're honestly saying it's worse than what is widely considered to be the worst game of the generation?AFreak said:
