This is still Wii only right cause some of these screens say otherwise.

Holy crap.

Dont forget what galaxy and prime pulled off at 60fps. This is just 30fps, so there really is no reason it shouldnt look like this. This is sega though, so i understand your point lol, game does indeed look great. The last section in secret rings was beautiful as well.

While for this game, I can actually tolerate 30 frames since I don't recall any Zelda games running in 60 frames anyway, where did you see this being confirmed?

As far as screens go, the game looks pretty damn good (even if Zelda-ish). I can't remember the last Sonic game I bought, probably Adventure 2 on the Cube, but if this shapes up to be a good game I'll definitely considering getting it. It's Sega though, not getting my hopes up.

Remember how cartoon characters like Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny would show up in completely different themed worlds and timezones and never had one main 'home' location? It seems like Sega are taking Sonic in that sort of direction. It's a way to appeal to more people, I guess. I don't excatly love the direction either (I miss the surreal designs of the old games as much as anyone else) but I can understand their reason for doing it. People that might not normally be interested in Sonic may be intriqued by the Zelda like scenery and sword play...maybe. *shrugs*

It was a while back when the game was first talked about and the new controls were mentioned...as least i believe it was. I hope Im dead wrong and the next video we are shown is him in the grass field with it running at 60.

:D

This needs looking into. No, not the game.No, not the "Sonic Cycle".



Ever notice how whenever a new Sonic game comes out, an entire forum community will turn into a house full of 4 year olds that whine for hours because something that was meant to be out of their hands is doing something they don't approve of? We need to name this...

I guess the "darker color" and "changed model" really were just the compression on the pictures, because that looks like his SatSR model to me.

I actually did like Secret Rings, so maybe I would like this game. Don't know about the sword though. I do like the screenshots and the trailer I saw. Of course I'm a sucker for trailers especially Sonic trailers. I get all excited, and then I um play the game and I get sad.

Well I know to expect the following;

crappy voice overs
lame plot
lame friends
a lame gimmick I guess that would be the sword.
controls will probably be slippery

I hope they axe that stupid mission based structure from Secret Rings. Oh and add more levels with loops, what's the deal with the lack of loops in Secret Rings? It's not a Sonic game unless there is loops.

I'm interested in the game but honestly I hate the "ninja" run. Fuck that. I saw this video of these dorks in Naruto costumes doing that shit and it looks so stupid. Developers need to stop putting that crap in games, people don't run like that and it looks dumb.

It’s another clever sidestepping of the traditional formula that adds something refreshingly different.

What's wrong with the traditional formula? Why does it need to be sidestepped?

It's like they never learn.

if only SEGA had had the balls to market an entirely new character instead of using Sonic as a crutch

Less of a crutch and more of a money machine imo.

that being the opinion of a guy who mostly stays out of sales-age threads.

I am not sure what are you guys refering to, is it the same "run" that Marth use in Smash Bros.?

Probably. Running and just letting their hands/weapon be behind their body.

Wow, now i want a Zelda (or Zelda-like with Sonic :lol ) game that looks like this...
i like this polish and coloured Sega-style graphics, and this grass, fields and lava screens

I think the game is looking awesome. Sonic in zelda like environments can easily be better than any 3D sonic game if they put enough work into it. Do we know when this game is supposed to come out?

Finally Sonic goes back to its roots.



As always Sonic games of today never look like a Sonic game, even Nintendo with Smash did a better job at making a proper Sonic environment than Sega.

Aaagh... alongside that fucking dinosaur egg shit, these were my most hated part of Secret Rings. Hopefully it won't be so bad with the analog stick though (this is also one of the first times I've been happy about the new control scheme).

Game looks fucking stunning. Will buy.

If you start a slide just before going into a ledge section and hold it, he will slide across the ledge quickly(and with style!) as opposed to him doing the whole wall press crap. Makes the game flow so much better, give it a try. Its a nice way to carve some time off of your speed runs as well.
