New? Sonic Wii Movie
- Thread starter D-X
- Start date
This game does look like regurgitated fecal matter, but I don't see how you can bash it when Sonic 360 exists
I'd rather take an interactive movie of Sonic running really fast with no BS story involving space gods and bestiality complemented by stupid treasure hunts, vehicles, fishing, and all them bells and whistles
Yes that's how low our standards for Sonic have fallen. Feels good

Seriously? I can understand if people think this looks like it could be a good sonic game, as in not utter shit. But I can tell by the mechanics and design choices that this game will not be good. At best it will be painfully mediocre. Between dodging shit, home-attacks and sidling along walls.
Not sure if that was directed at me, but I played it at the September 14th, NYC Wii event. I'm not going to say it sucked, but I think a lot of people are expecting something different.
Sonic just runs along. Picture holding the Wii remote as you would hold the reins of a horse you are riding. Tip left, sonic moves to the left side of the track. Tip right, sonic moves to the right side of the track. Pull back... Sonic slows down and stops.
There is still some jumping in the game, but it seemed to rely heavily on the already commented about homing in on enemies.

I'm asking if you played it. Not about what you think about gameplay mechanics. The majority of those who played it have a differing opinion than yours. Though I guess there are some on the internets who can decide that a game will be "painfully mediocre" without the game even being finished, let alone played.
Pud said:
No, I have not played the game. and I thinks it's a bit of a stretch to think they'll amend the problems this game has/will have, since it's so late into development. But I'll give you a follow up as soon as I play the game, at top of my list.
Pud said:
If perhaps Sonic Wii had randomly generated levels, an in-depth combo system or incredible game altering physics, this would make sense. However, since the game is ON-RAILS, and the controls are "tilt to go left or right or stop", the gap between playing and 'viewing' is pretty thin ground to base a "shut up you havent played it!!" retort on. Unless the wiimote is covered in joy pheremones, which I'm beginning to suspect it is for some people, its safe to say that watching full level playthroughs is a pretty accurate enough glut of evidence to base an opinion off of.
Of course we havent seen all of the game yet, so there is a chance that the later levels are jam packed with multiple routes and platforming, but I doubt it. and as I said earlier, I judge a game by what has been shown so far, not hypothetical heart-warming 'hopes and dreams' of how magical it 'could be'.

WE GET IT ALREADY. YOU ****ING HATE NINTENDO. YOU CAN STOP NOW.
Wait, randomly generated levels? WTF do you think Sega is nowadays that they can pull ANY of this shit off? Be extremely thankful if this game turns out HALF as good as the majority of the impressions out there from E3. THIS IS SEGA WE'RE TALKING ABOUT :lol And what the hell is with some of you and physics? Jesus, let's just see if Sega can make a Sonic game that isn't piss-horrible and boring/buggy as shit (like the last 60 Sonic games minus Rush) and then we'll concentrate on adding things that aren't the shitty friends! Multiple routes/platforming were already 'confirmed' btw, so get off that horse already.

It's basically like those McDonalds Sonic games where you press left or right to avoid shit coming at you, only with prettier graphics. You heard me, this is the kind've gameplay you get free with a happy meal.

am i the only one looking at this game from an positive point of view?
compared to the rest of the stuff on store shelves now until then, Sonic Wii is the best Wii game for the Wii only (disqualifying port games)

I dont get this bitter tears shit either. Sonic 2k6 was an utter traversty. If you're trying to spin this as "people only hating it coz its Nintendo exclusive and possibly good" then dont. I already view this game as better. But its like getting me to choose between 2 meals of human waste that are going to give me either cancer or aids.
WarioWare is yelling at you.gutter_trash said:
But anyway, I can predict what my reaction will be to playing the entire Sonic game when it comes out...
Something along the lines of "That was kind of fun. Maybe the next Sonic game Sega makes will be closer to the platforming of the original games."
It will most likely be entertaining, but a long way from a revival of the series.

A good first step though. Well, until they start bringing in Neo Tails and Uber Knuckles.

oh shit haha it's so true too.
No doubt I'll rent it, but it just LOOKS boring IMO. If it was better than Sonic 360/PS3 I'd have no qualms about admitting it, I own both a PS3 and Wii - but I think people are rushing to judge that it's better because they had enough of the adventure gameplay, and while the X360/PS3 version was looking to be fun the loading times, camera, and overall design didn't turn out so hot.
I also like his "shitty friends". Silvers gameplay is actually pretty fun believe it or not. Also Sonic Adventure had his shitty friends, and I thought they all played out pretty fun.
(Sonic Adventure 2 Knuckles boards I have a hard time defending ;p )
The story thing is retarded, if you don't like the story, press start and skip it, but I feel it adds some depth to the Sonic games.
Overall, in my opinon, I just think it looks boring, and if anything I hope that Sega takes the critisms of the broken gameplay to heart in the next Sonic Adventure-esque outing.
*marks as crow to be eaten, or not ;p
I'm so glad there's no shitty friend in it (haha, I collapse because of "shitty friends" it's too funny :lol ) excluding the minigames. The only thing they have to do: give the player the option to stop and explode the levels slowly, if they want (later).
And please: Dont put Humans (!) in it.

Press start.
It adds depth to the game - I liked the Sonic Adventure 2 story. um and a lot of platforms have storys in them besides SAVE THE PRINCESS FROM BOWSER x20.

They do. You can go backwards.
And am I surprised to see Christopher in this thread praising the PS3/360 Sonic game and asking Sega to fix what they have been unsuccessful in fixing in the past decade+
This isn't your first appearance in a Secret Rings thread, and I think you're going to enjoy eating your crow. Then again, much like Amir0x with Wii Sports, you've made up your mind before even playing the title so it's likely your opinion will stick. Enjoy the next iteration of hedgehog beastiality in the next iteration of Sonic Adventure! Perhaps it would suit you better than trolling this game constantly? You don't have Naka's cock to suck any longer, and Sonic Team hasn't made a good product in many years. Stop trying to shit all over the first thing they've made that doesn't look absolutely AWFUL, like the Sonic PS3/360 game was.

Ratchet & Clank had great stories to them. It was like watching a saturday morning cartoon show and I loved it. Super Mario Sunshine had an awful story (with plot twists and death). Totally unnecessary.
I'm not against stories in platformers. I'm just saying the ones I've played never needed to be mature or grown up. The closest one I played that came close was Klonoa 2, and it pulled it off rather damn well.
But who wouldn't like SA2's story? "Sayonarra, Shadow the Hedgehog."
So genuinely touching.

No, but you can back up.PkunkFury said:
Oh cool, so you didnt go and collect 50 rings and then go hunting for a Special Post to enter the special stage with in Sonic 2. Nor did you hunt down the giant rings in Sonic 3 & K? No block pushing on switches? Didn't go hunting through different time zones for the Holographic Machines and Badnik Creation Booths in Sonic CD?
Oh, oh wait! Youre just generalising! Ohhhhhhhh. Thas' cool. I'm down with that.

You mean the same people who constantly bashed the 360 one before they even played it...in EVERY thread? **** off with your stupid shit. I'm not trolling anything, I'm giving my honest opinion, I already said I'll rent it and probably eat crow - but for now I'm a bit weary of it.

which is nice, but I mean if you could acutally turn around and head backwards no one would have a reason to bitch. I think ultimately it doesn't matter. People wouldn't do it much anyway, but it would make the game officially similar to a 2D sonic in 3D so the haters would have less to jump on.
3D platforming is hard to develop, especially at these speeds, because the player needs to be able to identify jump distances necessary in perspective. In the 2D sonics, you see how wide a pit is because it scrolls towards you from the side. In 3D you need to be able to see past the character avatar and over whatever obstacles are in the way, while still being able to judge the distance across a gap based on its depth into the screen. Allowing the player to stop and assess the distance they need to jump is what allows Mario to work in 3D, but that kills the feeling which makes 3D Sonics fast.
Secret Rings is likely relying on level design to ensure the player will understand when to jump and where to land. Keeping things linear makes it easier to design levels like this with speed in mind. keeping them one directional makes it so the traps only need to be understood from that direction, so its sort of a design shortcut. Jumps can lead upward so they are easy to see, and the player will never have to treck back through them at a more difficult downward angle, etc.
As a result, I think Secret Rings will feel like Super Mario Bros, the 3D approximation of a 2D scroller that would only allow you to scroll forward
Sonic and his Shitty Friends was just AWFUL, the worst Sonic game ever made. The 3D games have been getting worse and worse. Isn't it time to try something new and see if it works? Like, trying to capture what made Sonic fun in the first place? (and if you show me the chart with some physics crap about how that made Sonic what it is I will punch you)
Christopher said:
I never appeared in a Sonic 360/PS3 thread UNTIL I played the game, at the very least. Perhaps others did, and perhaps they shouldn't have... but nonetheless "Sonic the Hedgehog" was one of the most godawful excuses for a game I've played on any next-gen platform. Sega has tried and simply CAN'T fix that method of gameplay, they're simply not good enough of a dev team any more. Hence, a new direction is needed for 3D Sonic. This maybe is it, maybe it isn't. But it holds FAR more promise and despite your "non-trolling" :lol looks far more interesting than Sonic the Hedgehog ever did. And easy with the derogatory comments, we have enough of them in this thread.

People just can't accept that Sonic games these days are broken and severely flawed. I get the impression that the majority of those that are forard the Wii Sonic do so because it doesn't seem as bad as the 360 Sonic. I would rather jam my dick in the door before playing the 360 Sonic again, but I'm certainly not for it. Wii Sonic is just the lesser of two evils.
Hopefully one day somebody will just make a side-scrolling Sonic for the home consoles again.
Ok I'm done..
