Bump so people know this is here because this is so awesome looking. I pray it isn't a hoax, but if it is, then that's a damn good hoax.

Plus this would take fucking forever to make as a hoax.

Looks decent, but judging by the screenshots, it's looking just about like Secret Rings, a game I didn't really enjoy. Also, Sonic+Plot=Don't mix. Please, don't attempt to give us a big complex story, Sega. Don't even go as far as SSE standards. Just give us a "There is bad guy. Kill him" story and I'll be more satisfied than I would be with a complex bad story.

Edit: Also, a 2 minute bump? What, are you spamming to get posts?

*Blink*

Sonic + Plot don't mix? What are you on, crack? Sonic's had plot since the Dreamcast, you twit. That's not going to go away. Also, it's said to be like a mix of Secret Rings and SA2.

And no, I bumped it so people would pay the fuck attention to it, since so many of my topics get ignored.

Also, even if it IS somewhat like Secret Rings, the graphics look a bit too powerful for the Wii.

EDIT: The only games with minimal plot were the Advance series. Of course, that's over, seeing as Rush put that to death with a vengeance. So no, you're not going to get a plotless Sonic game again. Ever. I hate people like you, always whining about how the older games were so much better.

Sonic Unleashed be confirmed, bitches.

While a werewolf Sonic seems a bit... okay, REALLY strange, on the upside, HEY, look how prettiful it is! And while I know graphics don't make a game, the gameplay is to be something like a mix of Secret Rings (Hopefully without the suck at the beginning, I don't want to have to upgrade in order to have a controllable Sonic) and the 2.5D gameplay style of Rush (Which you know is good).

Well that looks fucking awesome. It's more Sonic Rush playstyle with a bit of the Superspeed sections of Sonic 06 combined with Secret Rings, only without the crappy obstacles all over the places and you can blast through enemies with bursts of speed. It also looks to be void of all the bottomless pits that have been in recent Sonic games.

All in all... THIS GAMES WINS AT EVERYTHING. So far. Now we just need to see the gimmick that comes with Werewolf Sonic, which I'd like to see. Sonic as a werewolf, kind of a cool concept, at least appearance wise, but I wonder how it goes with gameplay...

EDIT: So yeah, the gameplay looks to be mostly reminiscent of... the original games. 2D sidescrolling, emphasis on speed, speed, and more speed with a bit of platforming tossed in, with the occasional 3D section ala SR without the suck, and all in glorious, beautiful 3D graphics.

I fail to see how this could possibly go bad except perhaps the werewolf sections, but the main game looks so goddamn wonderful that I couldn't care less in the werewolf sections suck more than Big Rigs.

It seems to me some kind of gimmick that's going to lead to the Sonic series biting the big one. Sure enough, the gameplay kicks enough ass, but if they have some cheap storyline werewolf generic gimmick, it's just gonna end up like your standard b-rated horror movie.

I'm in the middle on this one.

Like I said, who cares about the werewolf sections. While I can't begin to imagine what the gameplay would be like (A werewolf with superspeed? Oh please let there be a scene where he decimates an entire village in a matter of seconds. >_>) it has at least SOME promise. Let's hope they go the path of the main game and don't screw this up.

Another EDIT: Hey, another thing. Sonic Unleashed apparently has a HUGE production budget, and is being worked on by pretty much every SEGA company, Japan, the US, and even Europe. Methinks this game is gonna rock.

EDIT 3: Behold BIGGER PICTURE OF WEREWOLF SONIC!

WereSonic is slower, but stronger and more agile, so he can swing through levels like a monkey. And toss enemies and such.

Some people on the Sonic Unleashed board at GameFAQs want the Chao Garden back in Unleashed (I do to, of course, those little guys were FUN).

Especially considering the game's plot.

Werewolf Sonic + Chao Garden... Sounds fun. >:D

Werewolf Sonic, as far as I'm concerned, is probably going to turn out the same way Drives did in KH2. Totally useless, not usable often enough. Only it'd be worse, by creating a cliched storyline.

The Chao Garden, if it didn't interfere with everything else, would be fine. I just find it pointless is all.

One, Drives weren't useless. Two, the game has a day/night system and Sonic turns into a werewolf automatically at night. You fail completely.

can't Sonic Team just.. like.. stick to the status quo for once? I mean, no offense, but following Mario/Zelda in the "INNOVATIVE NEW BULLSHIT" direction hasn't been working for them for a good few years now.

Why can't people just stop bitching about it? Zelda has Link turn into a wolf, "YAY AWESOME LULZ".

Sonic turns into a werewolf, "BOO STUPID".

WTF? A Sonic game is bad, it gets torpedoed. Mr. Pretty-Boy-I'm-an-Elf? No, have all the useless fishing minigames you want. You want a 5/5 for the Tingle game too?

Because the wolf was actually required as far as gameplay goes. This game's got a day/night system? Why don't they just make it an RP-- ...OH WAIT! THEY ARE!

Words cannot describe how insufferably STUPID the lot of you are.

And what do you mean "RP--"? Sonic Chronicles is going to be an RPG. Unleashed is about speed and looks exactly like what fans want a new Sonic game to be. People need to stop whining about the Werewolf Sonic thing and see that THIS GAME IS GOING TO BE FUCKING AWESOME.

Besides, WereSonic is only slightly slower than normal Sonic, and instead of plowing through enemies with sheer speed, he plows through them with sheer strength. And we swings around like a monkey. Added to that, the Hedgehog Engine allows several other game types, so we may have other characters, like playing through as Knuckles and focusing on combat, which I say would be awesome.

IGN wanted to.

It's really a matter of opinion whether you like the butchered fucked up games with stories, or the ones that go back to the series' roots.

Mind you, the above is merely a gamemaker game, and I haven't played it. I have no idea of its quality.

You can't spell ignorant with IGN. And besides, who's ever listened to IGN in the first place?

Seriously, anyone who seriously wanted to give Brawl anything below at least an 8 is a retard, and if any professional reviewer had done it, they'd have been flooded with so much hate they'd have been shut down.

Also having a story does not make Unleashed a bad game, or have you completed and utterly failed to notice that the gameplay is pretty much the same as the old games, with short 3D sections included?

If they're going to have a story, it needs to be halfway decent. Also, I'm not exactly looking forward to "Werewolf Sonic". I think the series needs to stay away from the werewolf or team realm until they can get back on track and stop making bad games. SA2 was decent, but the mech battle areas weren't enjoyable to me. SA1 had the illusion of free roaming, complete with a terrible storyline. The DS and GBA games were good, with a simple bad guy and a bunch of zones to run through.

I'm just saying anytime they diverted from the basic gameplay, the game sucked. Not any time it became 3d. They just happened to make bad decisions in the 3d games. As I said, SA2 wasn't that bad. I just made a point to only play Sonic/Shadow levels. Treasure hunt levels bored me, and mech levels were a bit too slow. If you went too fast, you'd die, and that's not what Sonic is about.

I can't possibly be a 2d elitist in general. I enjoy Ratchet and Clank. Sure, UYA is too unbalanced, GC is short and unpolished, and FTOD had boring weapons, but it's still a decent series.

Sonic however has gone on a very fast downhill spiral. They could revive it by not fucking with the formula again, but that's not gonna happen.

I'm kinda with Rob here.

I liked SA, and SA2. After that, the 3D games are crap.

Except Seven Rings.

But WEREWOLF SONIC? Seriously. Decisions like this are stupid.

But I said that to the water-craft in Rush Adventure, and that didn't suck...

Offline Profile Quote Post Goto Top
 
Robtcee13

Mindless is how you describe everything, isn't it?

Well, let me think.

1. Werewolf? Seriously, most overused idea since... Everything. The history of mankind, even. Werewolves have existed and been adapted to pretty much everything. What's worse, this game isn't the first video game to do it either. Zelda did it first (more recently), and did a better job, actually requiring that form for some puzzles.
2. This is Sonic. A game predominantly about speed. Bogging it down with more gameplay elements that don't involve speed is going to do just that. Slow it down. That's why Sonic Heroes sucked extremely large elephant balls.
3. Doubtless it's going to be part of the story as to why the hell he IS a werewolf. Let's face it, Sonic storylines aren't the greatest. Hell, I gave up on Sonic games once I heard Bigs' voice. Then I gave his personality a chance. And gave up again. Stories aren't why you buy a Sonic game. This is just going to force a story down our throats.
4. There is no spoon.
5. It sounds like a fanfic. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to bash Sonic. Oh, wait... I'm just thrusting my rusty iron spear of humiliation through the writers' chests. If they really wanted to cater to fans, don't write a fanfic. Instead, give us what we want. A GOOD SONIC GAME. ABOUT SPEED.
