^^It’s not coming out. It was just said that the night portion is 50% of the game.
Unless it’s completely retooled as a new Sonic and Knuckles games, I just don’t see it happening. I’m loving it so far as long as there’s quality platforming. The combat I can do without.
QUOTE=orochizoolander;5350959]We’re getting 2d gameplay on a 3d plane with the sensation of speed the genesis titles gave us and srk still manages to bitch and nitpick as usual. Game looks fucking sick and who knows maybe the were sonic parts will be a pleasant break in pace.
No fishing or shard hunting thank god.

Why everybody HATES Knuckles shard hunting? I for one enjoyed because it really show a difference in game play for different characters.
I Also think that the Were hog was not bad at all. Just speed up his movement and give him more attacks and Im GOOD! Note that one of his moves looks like a parody of Kenshiro’s Hokuto Hyakuretsuken move.
Rant alert
I)Dudes bitches about the Were hog and whining about wanting speed. O COME THE FUCK ON! Half of ya’ll would STILL be bitching if It was just the speed saying its all rails. As far “100% on rails” BULLSHIT didnt it show in the preview that sonic slowed down and the guy had to get sonic past that revolving thingy? or was i just hallucinating that?
II) Half of ya’ll dudes wont say A DAMN THING abaout were hog being “Slow” if Werehog was replaced with Knuckles or Silver. I’d rather different game play (fast paced, platforming, treasure hunting etc) that the have multiple Characters that play THE EXACT SAME WAY! IIRC Is that one of the MANY complaints of Sonic Heroes? (All teams play the same and all of the teams zones are int THE EXACT SAME ORDER!)
III) Fuck all that “Sonic 4” talk If I want everyone to play the same with little differences I’ll play Sonic 3&K till Im old and gray. But I want something new and as long as it aint boring, fucked up with glitches, or bad controls/camera, I say bring it on!
IV) I would really love to see a Sonic game whre EVERY is as fast as sonic Im pretty damn sure nobody wants Big to be a s fas as Sonic (ingame) and Omega doing the Spin Dash.
Correct me if Im wrong here…
My Point
1)IF controls are looses= dude complain…
2)If its on rails =people complain…
3)Try something new= dudes complain…
4)Do the same old thing= dudes complain…
5)Certain characters are in the game= dudes complain…
6)Certain characters are LEFT OUT the game= dudes complain…7
7)If the game is like Sonic Rush= dudes complain
8)If its like Sonic adventure 1 with =towns dudes complain
Face it, no matter what Sega does somebody complains with the “Sonic is dead rants and there havent been a good Sonic game since insert game here”:rolleyes: Give me a fucking break…
And you wonder why Sega NEVER listens to the fans on what they want in a Sonic game? Seriously?
Rant over
As far as the Tails Knucks, Shadow and them being playable in this game…
Bullshit answer the guy on the vid said = HELL NO. If Im wrong, I’ll buy this game upon release whether it blows or not.
They should make Sonic 4 an 8-bit game.
Go the capcom way!
Now for more impressions about Sonic Chronicles, the new Sonic title that actually matters:
BIG ASS EDIT -
Here’s why shard hunting is retarded; it’s boring. You may find roaming spawn points for Rank As a hoot, but people with brains sure as hell don’t find that fun. I don’t mind breaking up the gameplay styles, but shard-hunting (and the occasional boss) is all Knuckles and Rouge did in the Adventure titles. Plus, again, it was boring.
Now, here’s the thing: COMPETITIVE shard hunting in SA2 (and Battle) was a hoot. That element of urgency adds fun. On the flipside, a hard time limit on 1P shard-hunting levels (IE Rouge’s 5 minute hunt in SA2) is not fun. If they can take some of the elements that make competitive shard hunting fun and transfer it to the 1P game, then maybe you’ve got something to work with. Maybe a computer opponent hunting at the same time you do. Or, even better, SCRAP SHITTY SHARD HUNTING.
What you “think” is irrelevant: what matters is if the game, whether it be its fast or slow elements, is worthwhile. This isn’t just a subjective opinion thing; the game must be worthwhile compared to others. Given Sonic Team’s track record, there is every reason to believe it will be garbage.
Agreed, to a point. Sonic didn’t start as purely speed. Even though Sonic 2, 3, and Knuckles were much faster than Sonic 1, they still emphasized exploration and SLOW platforming. Saying Sonic sucks because he lacks speed is missing the forest for the trees. However, there’s the other extreme: holding right all damn day. Sonic Rush and Rush Adventure were good, but they have Uniracer-syndrome, and slowing down Sonic for the occasional obstacle before holding right for the rest of the stage is not sound design.
You aren’t making sense. Bad gameplay is bad gameplay, regardless of the on-screen avatar. The chief complaint against Sonic Heroes wasn’t the teams playing the same way. Maybe you’re thinking of various reviewer complaints about how every team is effectively playing the same 14 stages, or how the bosses were shit, or the controls/camera/etc. were STILL not fixed despite Sonic Team having FOUR TRIES (2 on DC, 2 on GCN) to get shit right.
If that’s your criteria, you should not be looking forward to Sonic Unleashed, as the dev team behind it is also behind the past NINE 3D Sonic messes.
Yet, you want characters to play differently. Hmm…
You’re oversimplifying the issue, making it out to be unfounded hatred for Sonic Team, when in fact their Sonic titles all have major flaws that reviewers and (now former) fans legitimately point out. Think about it: wouldn’t that mean that ANY ongoing game series by ANY developer is subject to consistent praise or scrutiny? Yes, Mario Galaxy was well-received, though Mario Sunshine was not.
There’s a real reason why Sonic Team is reviled. It isn’t just an attempt to QQ. They’ve earned nothing but disdain.
In a way, this is kinda true.
Although personally, I don’t mind them trying new things when they are SMART new things. Mid-air Tricks from Advance 2 was good times. I liked the Heroes team setup. And I love the Rush games a lot; using Mid-Air Tricking to build up a gauge that can be burned for an invulnerable burst of extra speed was genius.
Werehedgehog seems awkward to me for several reasons though. For one thing, it does just seem like a really bizarre choice to make Sonic do. For another, what we’ve seen of the segments so far looks like a very, very basic and bare bones beat-'em-up. Also Knuckles, or even Dr Robotnik, could’ve played like that instead. I’m getting tired of Sega introducing a new character to every game when an existing character could fill that role.
Yeah, I seriously want to play as Tails and Knuckles at least. They’ve been long-time series mainstays and I’m getting more and more sick of how they are being ignored in more recent games. Personally, I think they should make everyone unlockable as a post-storyline alternate character. That way you can play them if you want to, but you can get 100% without so that you don’t have to play them if you don’t want to.
Sonic Chronicles gameplay impressions video from GameSpot!
**New Sonic game incoming! **
I’m using the Wii browser right now, but if ya point your own browsers to neoGAF, you’ll see that the new Nintendo Power showcases a new Sonic game entitled “Sonic and the Black Knight”
Seriously, WTF SEGA.
It’s as if Sega is TRYING to bury Sonic as fast as possible. Unless this game isn’t Sonic Team developed. Here’s hoping…
Sega and Sonic Team has fucked up so bad in the past few years that Phantasy Star Universe players (another game they’ve all but completely fucked up) have started calling them “Segac”, as a nod to the knockoff versions of rare weapons in PSU that have a letter C added to whatever their name is.
I played PSU for a pretty good chunk of time, and yeah, people were seriously getting pissed off at Sega, especially over the error 65 bullshit that plagued pretty much everybody on 360 and PC/PS2 during MAG, and nobody seemed to give a shit. I lost a good solid week of running missions.
I haven’t played anything good by Sega in a while… 
Hahaha Sonic with a sword. How retarded can Sega be? I mean seriously , this is beyond stupid. They don’t have the slightest clue on anything these days. SONIC WITH A SWORD ! It’s like if Nintendo suddenly decides to take Mario and make him ride a ca…
Oh wait.
Well at least Nintendo isn’t dumb.
What are they trying to do ripped off Zelda?!?
Sonic is dead to me. I’m changing my avatar tomorrow.

^EDIT: If that happens I am so getting the game XD
Sega sucks!:mad:
If this Sonic & The Black Knight doesn’t take place in the middle ages, then I have no interest.
Well the Secret Rings took place in Persia and Arabia…where else would this game take place? Antarctica?
Wow… I hate Sega.
Shadow having guns did not make Shadow the Hedgehog a bad game. Shadow the Hedgehog being a bad game made Shadow the Hedgehog a bad game.
Similarly, Sonic having a sword will not make Sonic and the Black Knight a bad game. It will be, in all likelihood, Sega and Sonic Team making a piss poor game that will make Sonic and the Black Knight a bad–
Fuck this. Stop talking about crappy Sonic games and refocus on Chronicles, which may just be this generation’s Mario RPG.
QFT! :tup:
(you know it’s real messed up when you have to quote yourself)
tears off face
Edit: Sonic Dark Brotherhood is looking really solid. 25 hours without the extra stuff and probably 35 for going after everything. Looks like fun. Unlike Sonic with a damn sword. Just wtf.
