This looks like the one that were supposed to bring out for the DS when it first came out. The concept was tight.
More like godlike Planescape: Torment
Planescape: Torment >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> entire BG series.
BG is really good too tho.
they should let you play as super sonic through out ALL the stages, instead of just on the last boss…that shit pissed me off
^ Oh wow I forgot about Planescape. It haunts me to this day that I never finished it :shake:
Although I still liked BG more… Planescape is gdlk as well.
Seriously, there’s too much action in that Youtube clip. People that didn’t play Sonic games the first time around think Sonic was just about running fast, but there was also an exploration part of it that added replay value… the Sonic/Shadow parts of Sonic Adventure 2 did a decent job of multilayered stages that were a mix of speedrun and exploring (I don’t know about the other 3D Sonics because I don’t pay money to play dogshit)
But it would be great to see a Klonoa-style Sonic, that’s mostly 2D with a 3D camera and some 3D movement here and there.
Nah, nothing wrong with saving, in the 16-bit days when I played long games I just paused it and kept the system on while I slept… so if there wasn’t an official save system, I (and most others) would just do it the ghetto way.
There should just be penalties for continuing (that affect your score or give you an incomplete ending), or you have to buy/find expensive/rare credits that let you resume where you died.
OH MY GOD! FINALLY A 2.5D SONIC AT LAST! Please don’t suck and please make Tails and Knuckles good and keep it with just those 3. Myabe the franchise hasn’t totally fucking died yet. I’m hoping beyond all reason here
If this game turns out to be as epic as the genesis games, I will blow all of Sonic Team.
I wouldnt bet on it anymore.
that footage is SEXY. I dont know what spinning beat is huffing, that music was pretty catchy, certainly had an old school vibe to it.
man, I dont want to be excited about this…but like a battered housewife I just cant bring myself to turn my back on my boy sonic.
zomg david caruso.
That footage is hype…I’m glad I never got the next-gen Sonic games.
I’m afraid of SEGA… every Sonic release they find a hook or a way to convince me it’s 1991 again, only to completely destroy my hopes and dreams with each game’s release.
This time, I’m reserving judgment until the dust settles. I’ll stick with the handheld series - where’s my Sonic Advance 4?
^It was renamed to Sonic Rush.
this looks pretty good, hope Sega doesnt fuck this up
The first good console Sonic game in a decade? Possibly, but I’ll remain cautious.
I love Sonic to death and all but I just cant be excited about this until I get my hands on it, because after SA2, his console track record sucked.
Here’s to hoping the people making the HANDHELD GAMES are in control on this one, b/c Sonic Rush/Rush Adventure was the shit, and Sonic Rivals 2 isnt too shabby either. (With the volume off…fuck 4kids Tails…)
Sonic Rush was a terrible game.
It was nice that they tried to give us an old school Sonic experience, but the horrible level design just ruined it.
Sonic needs a break from the recent string of crappy games… I always like the franchise but it went downhill after the Sonic Adventure games on the DC
this game looks ill as fuck
I hope it is a 2.5D type of experience, like Pandemonium! on psx and apparently Sonic Rivals. Hopefully they will stay away from having too many stages with no ground(*resulting in tons of rail-grinding) as well, but I know they can’t resist that. Stages with no ground has unfortunately become just as much a part of Sonic games as his damn red shoes. Anyway, 2.5d is the best compromise. A regular, purely 2d game on consoles would not sell these days. People would just laugh and ask “What’s up with those Sega Genesis graphics?! This isn’t 1992.” I’m sure a lot of folks here know of gamers who will say something like that if they caught you playing MvC2, Third Strike, or any 2d console game. It’s still ok and acceptable by the general public on portable systems…but not on consoles.
The video looks nice…the music is ugly though. Also, I like some of the other Sonic characters. Sonic should still have the starring role, but I think people were just reaching for another reason to bash the modern Sonic games by going there. Now, the complaint will be “This is so repetitive” because they’re playing as Sonic 100% of the time. Gamers are never pleased…they’re almost as bad as comic book fans when a comic-based movie comes out, e.g.–> BLASPHEMY! Spiderman has NATURAL webshooters!? :rolleyes:
