New Sonic Next gen shots

Like I said in the other thread, if Sega would just focus on Sonic and improving his gameplay, they'd have at least a decent game on their hands.

Instead we get endless amounts of side characters no one cares about that make up more than 70% of the game with horrible gameplay mechanics. Meanwhile the Sonic gameplay people care about suffers because they are wasting resources on these characters. In this game it looks to be even worse. Just look at all the character's they've added, and remember that we've yet to see Knuckles, Rouge, Eggman Robot, Tails, and Big the Cat yet (you know they will be in there) Tails mech missions? Big the Cat fishing adventure? Eggman Robot hover board racing? And let's not forget they could add in the Chaotix characters and those birds from the airboarding game. At this rate Sonic won't even be in 10% of the game.
 
I think there's some confusion about the roles of secondary characters. You play as Sonic Shadow and Silver however sometimes you will use assistant characters to progress, Tails, Blaze, Amy, Omega, Rouge and Knuckles. They are playable but not to the extent that they were in Sonic Adventure. Contrary to popular belief there is no Big.

Awesome :D
 
You guys need to chill...

Besides Silver being slow, and Shadow having a truck, this is the most natural next step for Sonic - you all HONESTLY expect the series to stay 2D for life? Come on...

Yes, we all know the demo is glitchy as hell... but the graphics are more than good, the speed (in trailers) are perfect, and if they fix the controls and the camera, this WILL Sonic the Hedgehog despite what you whiners say...

And contrary to popular belief, an on-rails Sonic is NOT what Sonic is supposed to be... this game is more Sonic than that game is...
 
No really I'm serious I haven't followed Sonic in years... whose the Tron hedgehog?
 
Looks great.
It seems to me that some childhoods were left vulnerable and thus more prone to getting raped. Oh and blah blah Sega ran over your dog blah Sonic and Shadow tag-teaming on the princess/your mother blah blah some other ridiculous crap.

If Amy is indeed playable this went from an instant sale to an instant sale x10.

I do love this picture though.

All I know is that his name is Silver. Supposedly he's part of the Sonic or some crazy shit like that.
 
though the story is questionable, to say the least, and gamplay's pretty darn iffy at this point... the graphics are solid. Pretty game!
 
I wish the princess girl Elise was wheelchair-bound, so escorting her levels would play more like this:

See Sega! Extra points for political correctness and heart-warming story about a cripple girl looking for adventure, and still maintaining high speed thrills, pulling off mad trix "s-s-s-s-stylish!"

I'd end up being too evil and let her roll down a hill and off a cliff.
 
It's probably not a good sign that I laughed the entire time while looking at these. I just hope that Sega continues to seperately develop the series. I think I'll probably much prefer the Wii version, and the limited movement doesn't bother me. The humans and teh maturez story probably would though. Also, I didn't really care for SA1 or 2. So if this is like those, only more so, then I may as well stop clickin on those threads.


And, a bit off topic...But when has Sonic been about free movement and exploration? The Sonic I love is all about reflexes and speed. I haven't played the Wii version yet though, so we'll see.
 
Ugh. The first SA was a decent attempt at bringing the series to 3D and trying something new. SA2 was a really botched follow-up that was just not fun at all outside of the Sonic/Shadow stages and Sonic Heroes...the less said about it, the better.

This looks most in line with SA2.
 
game will suck

but I see even more playable characters. Does this mean that the ending where
sonic dies and his super duper friends try to revive him is true?? :lol
 
Wow.

The OG Sonic still remains the best and most polished to date IMO.
 
This game keeps getting worse and worse. Escort missions...

IN A SONIC GAME?!

Escort missions

IN A SONIC GAME

Shitty camera, shitty gameplay, shitty story, SHITTY FRIENDS.

Let's hope Secret Rings kicks ass the way a REAL SONIC GAME OUGHT TO.
 
I like it, at least Sonic Team takes risks with the series and does something "next gen" with the damn franchise instead of the same shit since 1991. People seem to like it a well as Sonic Adventure 2 was I think the only non-Nintendo franchise that sold over 1 million in the US.

I like his new direction(s), sans the shadow gameplay, so keep bitching no one is listening.

Sonic and his Shitty Friends isn't Sega taking a risk. They're appealing to the same crowd that bought Shadow the Hedgehog because it's real easy money.

Also, Sonic Mega Collection hit 1,000,000 on the GC too. Good taste FTW.
