This is the key component to Sega's Sonic strategy of the last decade.Boney said:I don't care if the game is crappy. Do that Sega and you get my money.
I've always wanted to see that and to me, in this specific scenario is more important than the whole game. Yes, Sega's strategy is to appeal to our childhoods, and with this they do it for me.Princess Skittles said:This is the key component to Sega's Sonic strategy of the last decade.
You know what I'd buy? de Blob 2! and I will!Boney said:You know what I'd buy? A Sonic for the 3DS in which he does that sideways loop from Sonic 2 and goes out of the screen when he does that. I don't care if the game is crappy. Do that Sega and you get my money.
It's not a gimmick until everyone is hating on it.wRATH2x said:I love how they are saying there are no gimmicks and yet the gimmicks are 80% of the magazine cover.

They already are. The first step of the Sonic Cycle apparantly doesn't apply to Wii spinoffs.wRATH2x said:They will eventually.

It's a bit too early to say something like this, isn't it? We haven't even seen a single screenshot yet. Sure, those flying Luma rip-offs look hilarious, but you probably won't see them half of the time in the game, just as you don't see the Lumas in Mario Galaxy half of the time.wRATH2x said:This game just looks even stupider than all the other premises with an even worse name.
Hero of Legend said:Definitely the one thing I disliked about the game. :/
Don't go in to the Sonic cycle! Leave now and keep your sanity!wrowa said:It's a bit too early to say something like this, isn't it? We haven't even seen a single screenshot yet.

I'm not saying that this game will be any good - with Black Knight the storybook team has succesfully proved that Secret Rings was decent by accident and that they don't understand at all, why the game wasn't as bad as many other of the recent Sonics -, but we should wait at least until the NP scans are leaked, before we dismiss the game because of some "gimmicks" or because it is looking like trash.

Saint10118 said:While I'm sure you meant to this pic to be funny, jokes that rely on using "Faggot" and "Fags" is very offensive to many including myself.
Exactly.Andrex said:The funniest thing is that NP always gives an 8/10 to Sonic games no matter how crappy, then when the next one is announced they always badmouth it to prop the new one up. :lol
AceBandage said:It also stopped being funny in the late 90s.

Lijik said:
Yeah.Teknoman said:They took it out.
Lijik said:Yeah.
And Black Knight is a game on the shelves.
So I think I'm pretty damn safe in declaring the Mine Cart level worse than Sonic and the Black Knight
Yeah I was looking at those and wondering if the guy took them with his cellphoneJaded Alyx said:Worst quality 'scans' ever?
I think so.
Lijik said:Yeah I was looking at those and wondering if the guy took them with his cellphone
In his car :lol

Segata Sanshiro said:There are different development teams that release under "Sonic Team", or rather, there were. Sonic Team Japan did Sonic Adventure, Sonic & the Black Knight, Sonic & the Secret Ring, Sonic Unleashed (PS3/360 versions all, Werehog levels only for Wii version), Sonic the Hedgehog 2006, and Sonic Riders, while Sonic Team USA (now defunct) did NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic Adventure 2, and Sonic Heroes. Then there's DIMPS, who also release under Sonic Team's label with Sonic Advance series, Sonic Rush series, Sonic Unleashed (daytime Wii levels only), and Sonic the Hedgehog 4.
Currently the Sonic Team power structure most closely resembles the defunct Sonic Team USA/SEGA Studios USA.
Sonic Colors
- Powerups include: Drill, laser suit, rocket suit.
- Wii version similar to Unleashed, DS version similar to Sonic Rush
de Blob 2
- Jump with A
- co-op mode with second Wiimote pointer
- Lots of 2D sections
- more linear
- 'interesting level design'
