Awesome almost 2 mins long "High Europe" Trailer - http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/...hed/videos/sonic_unleased_trailer_061608.html

 

[CowboyAstronaut]

This game looks unbelievable.

This is one of the titles I'll purchase this year.

 

[Yoshichan]

I hate myself for liking this game. I mean, it looks fucking crazy. I'm so stunned, it's not even funny!

 

[jman2050]

Damnit Sonic Team, you just don't get it, do you?

 

[CowboyAstronaut]

There is some real speed there, but I hope there isn't too much of an influence on all out speed and some serious thought put into giving us some good platforming.

The game definitely looks amazing though.

Is it really using 4XMSAA? Seems like it really is.

 

[Leatherface]

damn. Sega made a deal with the devil it seems.

 

[jman2050]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahaha

 

[purg3]

Damnit Sonic Team, you just don't get it, do you?

Huh? I thought it looked pretty good.

 

[Yoshichan]

Damnit Sonic Team, you just don't get it, do you?

Are you kidding? Did you watch the trailer? The speed is there and the Sonic-type of gameplay seems there. The scale is INCREDIBLE too!

 

[CowboyAstronaut]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahaha

Clearly you didn't get what I was trying to say, but you brought a lot to the discussion. You should be proud

 

[Brannon]

I want to believe SO HARD.

So I'm going to. Even though I played through and beat Sonic '06; i.e., THIS GAME RIGHT HERE, I will give this one a chance. But I swear to god, Sega. I swear to GOD that if you mess this one up, I will mail you a letter that will make you mail me in response with an envelope that says 'No postage needed if mailed in the US', and I will tape that envelope to a big box full of heavy rocks and mail it right back to you, costing you hundreds in shipping.

I will hurt your pocket Sega. Do not fuck this up.

 

[jman2050]

Don't say we didn't warn you come November/December/whenever the hell this comes out.

 

[Pachinko]

Fantastic graphics, alot of the problems with the camera in the old games look to be gone but the gameplay looks boring as hell- hold right on the analog stick and win basically split with quicktime events. I'll take that over the alternative though I guess. I'm not sold on the game though.

 

[Yoshichan]

Don't say we didn't warn you come November/December/whenever the hell this comes out.

I'm keeping this thread in my log then.

 

[Confidence Man]

Looks like all you do is respond to the button prompts.

 

[Apenheul]

The gameplay looks very similar to Sonic and the Secret Rings, which is okay since that was quite a decent game.

 

[Dever]

Jesus fucking Christ. :O

But is it just me, or did the gameplay in that trailer consist mainly of... QTEs? :/

 

[RagnarokX]

Are you kidding? Did you watch the trailer? The speed is there and the Sonic-type of gameplay seems there. The scale is INCREDIBLE too!

No, it's too fast, like a rollercoaster, that's one of the major problems with the Sonic games these days. I really really wish Sonic Team would go review the Genesis games and figure out why they were so good.

 

[jman2050]

This trailer looked more manic and on-rails than Sonic Rush, and that's saying something.

 

[Das-J]

Looks like fun... just wish it was coming for the PS3

 

[Y2Kev]

The game is one of the prettiest I've ever seen, but it looks like a giant QTE.

Looks like fun... just wish it was coming for the PS3

It is.

 

[Yoshichan]

Looks like fun... just wish it was coming for the PS3

Um, it is...

Sonic Unleashed PS2 PS3 WII 360

 

[Companion Cube]

The Wii version is supposed to be the same game right? I wonder how that'll hold up...

Edit: OH NEVERMIND

"Although Sonic Team is solely responsible for the PS3 and 360 versions of the title, software house Dimps is providing backup support with daytime level designs for the Wii and PS2 versions."

"Also, the levels in the Wii iteration of Unleashed will be very different from those in the 360 / PS3 iterations. Just how different, we don't yet know."

 

[Sciz]

But is it just me, or did the gameplay in that trailer consist mainly of... QTEs? :/

The button timings mostly seem to be for sending you off on alternate paths or through shortcuts. And the button you need to push is consistent for each kind of obstacle, so it's more a matter of the game giving you a heads-up about which move you're going to need in a split second.

 

[Death_Born]

No, it's too fast, like a rollercoaster, that's one of the major problems with the Sonic games these days. I really really wish Sonic Team would go review the Genesis games and figure out why they were so good.

Apparently they decided that Sonic was not a normal platformer, and went with the "fastest platformer on earth" tagline. In that vein, they started to add in less actual plaforming and more speeding along dodging obstacles.

 

[CowboyAstronaut]

Don't say we didn't warn you come November/December/whenever the hell this comes out.

Considering the first sonic game this generation didn't look nearly this impressive, I'll go ahead and say this game will likely end up being good.

Still, even if it does end up being good, I fully expect people to still come up with all kinds of different reasons for why they think the game sucks because they won't be able to bring themselves to admit they were wrong.

Oh re-watched the trailer again and saw some other paths to take. It was happening so fast I missed a lot.

 

[Das-J]

The game is one of the prettiest I've ever seen, but it looks like a giant QTE.




It is.

Oh, sweet... I thought it was coming to PS2 for some reason! After watching the trailer again I'm a bit concerned with the controls. If the game is just a series of QTEs on rails I think I'll pass. Anyone know the skinny there?

 

[jman2050]

The important thing to note is that they already tried that exact thing with Sonic Rivals. Lo and behold, that game sucked too.

 

[HiddenWings]

The Good:
Someone figured out what Sonic music is supposed to sound like.

The Bad: I was happier when I thought it was 2.5D, like Rush. This new footage worries me.

 

[Mr. Spinnington]

Um, it is...

Sonic Unleashed PS2 PS3 WII 360

where?

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Don't say we didn't warn you come November/December/whenever the hell this comes out.

Who is we

 

[jman2050]

Who is we

Sonic the hedgehog fans

 

[whitehawk]

where?

PS logo on the left you dummy.

 

[yoopoo]

Tech is amazing, best looking PS3/360 game next to that one from DICE. But unlike the DICE game this one will be utter shit...its a Sonic Team game.

 

[LCfiner]

damn. that looked pretty fun.

but i'll add that i have reservations about those QTE looking bits... i hope they're not in most of the game :\

 

[Mr. Spinnington]

PS logo on the left you dummy.

lol you mean original playstation logo? where are my successor numbers?


i can't wait in that case, my psx has been gathering dust

 

[Yoshichan]

Funny! Oh wait.

 

[viralmarketeer]

????????????????????????

 

[Yoshichan]

*2 stupid pics*

60 fps
30 fps

Better game
Worse game

???

 

[Vic]

Looks fucking badass!

 

[Death_Born]

Sonic Adventure 2 had rails way before that game.

 

[big_z]

dont get too excited we still havent seen the werewolf parts which im sure will be slow and sucky. either way it looks like the game plays itself and you just push a button now and then.... it's like an extended QTE.

it's something you would rent for an evening, play through it in a couple hours and then return it.

 

[Witchfinder General]

????????????????????????

I agree; R & C is a rip-off of Sonic.

You clearly haven't played Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 on the Dreamcast.

 

[Dama]

Tech is amazing, best looking PS3/360 game next to that one from DICE. But unlike the DICE game this one will be utter shit...its a Sonic Team game.

say what?

 

[Threi]

Looks like fun... just wish it was coming for the PS3

well i guess you have to spend more money then.

 

[Kydd BlaZe]

*comparison screens*

Um...Sonic has been on rails since Sonic Adventure (Dreamcast).

At any rate, this game looks incredible. Definitely on my wishlist as of now.

 

[Death_Born]

Tech is amazing, best looking PS3/360 game next to that one from DICE. But unlike the DICE game this one will be utter shit...its a Sonic Team game.

LULZ, yeah the DICE game will be great....after they require you to install 1 GB worth of patches to the game to finish the second half.

 

[Sciz]

The important thing to note is that they already tried that exact thing with Sonic Rivals. Lo and behold, that game sucked too.

I suspect that was a combination of Backbone being Backbone, it being Backbone's first Sonic game, and Iizuka getting his grimy claws into the project.

 

[C4Lukins]

It looks fun. A little on the simplistic side, but at least a big improvement on that earlier abomination for the 360 and PS3.

 

[jibblypop]

That video looks incredible but I can't really tell what I would be doing trying to play it. It looks like you press buttons at certain predetermined times at some points? Anyways looks a lot better than the recent sonic games so i'll definitely give it a try on the release.
