glad you guys are on top of this stuff…lol…I hadn’t been online in awhile cause I been either gaming with Rioting Soul or at work
watches trailer…then foams at the mouth
the speeeeed…THE SPEEEEDD…YESSS!!! I’m liking what i’m seeing!!! God damn this game looks like it’s finally gonna do sonic justice! AUGH…what am I saying!?..I want MOAR! This game better be at E3 and I want to hear some hands-on time with it. Sega’s making it hard for me to keep my expectations down again… I don’t want this to be like 2006 all over again! I’m gonna have to watch this trailer at least 10 times…just to make sure it isn’t trying to wake up super me.
The way they made sonic turn that corner was hot lol.
I wouldn’t worry about the camera. I’m more worried about the gameplay itself, it looks like you’re hardly doing anything and that the game is just ‘playing itself’. Other than that:
My hopes for the game have risen quite a bit! As weird as it’s gonna be to see Sonic in a new console title that is 2D, the game looks damn good! I also like the use of third-person segments, because they look a HELLUVA lot better than a certain game’s ‘Mach-Speed’ segments!
Don’t get me wrong, I’m still quite cautious about how the final product is gonna turn out. Hell, regardless of how good Unleashed turns out to be, I’ll NEVER forgive them for the existence of ‘Sonic Next-Gen!’ The people responsible for that game HAVE to realize just how retarded of a game that was! The gameplay was crippled, the camera sucked, glitches were EVERYWHERE, and the plot was ripped off from a bad internet fanfic, I swear!
Every time I visit Wal-Mart and see that game on the XBox’s ‘Platinum Hits’ collection, I get sick to my stomach!
Hey speaking of Sonic Rivals… anyway else play those? I actually think they’re pretty fun little racing games. The only thing I don’t really like is that for most of the characters, mashing ? for their special is unnecessary and intrusive. But it really does feel like a classic Sonic game with a few race-related gimmicks.
I do have to say that I don’t like the boss fights though. They’d be pretty fun if it was just like you vs boss in story mode, but trying to make the boss fights into races too is really awkward IMO.
does anyone read the archie comics? i fell off a while back but it was VERY good back in the day.
i wish the games would have looked to the comics for story, they were well written and thought out. Multiple arcs that essentially created and tied the planet mobius together. Im going to buy the graphic novels.
Nah camera actually looks fine When sonic turned the corner down that spiral street the camera actually followed him correctly.
It’s weird how the camera randomly switches back n forth from 3rd person over the shoulder with motion blur and depth of field view to zoomed out side scrolling angle but somehow it works.
I have pretty much every special issue from the 90’s, except the last page on each issue is missing because the back of it was a checklist of other future issues which I had to rip out and mail out for:rofl:
hey hey hey…I disagree…the story wasn’t actually bad IMO and it would have worked had the game actually be fun…without all the problems. Game had awesome music as well. But still that doesn’t excuse that game being ass…doesn’t matter anyway since technically that game doesn’t exist lol.
I’m actually reading them now…I would have been keeping up with it further but i didn’t have a comic book place nearby. Now that I do i’m enjoying it…and Sega of Japan seems to have shown that they don’t give a shit about the comic series. Don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.
sad but true… If shadow shows up in this game and he’s riding in a vehicle, shooting people, or doing anything that is completely unnecessary then I’m gonna demand that someone in sonic team be beheaded. Worst idea since Big the Cat (sorry Giza =D )
Edit: speaking of disappointments…I want to see some video of that Were-hog in action. Definitely can’t say anything about this game until we at least get a glimpse of that.
^ The official site, with a bunch of story and character info. The coolest part is that you can actually sample what the gameplay is like. Check it out!
Who all is going to be playable in Sonic Chronicles? Confirmed from screenshots we’ve got:
Sonic
Tails
Knuckles
Amy Rose
Big
Rouge
Shadow
The website says 11 characters total. Think that Vector, Espio, Charmy, and Cream & Cheese are going to round out the cast? Personally I hope that Blaze is in it. And maybe Dr Robotnik in your party too.
One of the E-Series of robots from Robotnik will be an option. I would prefer the emotional Gamma but alas, he was destroyed at the end of Sonic Adventure 1.
Speaking of which, that game really deserves credit for weaving six different story lines together without it all getting too campy or hokey. It really felt like six different perspectives of the same story within a very expansive world. Props to SA!
I don’t want this to be like 2006 all over again! I’m gonna have to watch this trailer at least 10 times…just to make sure it isn’t trying to wake up super me.
