what-was-the-point.....

this sonic sucks more than the guy who kept interupting and wanting to play XBL in the video

Wait, was that a spoiler? SHIT!

last time i saw that many odd looking hedgehogs was on a trip around the M25

...Oh my word.

I'll stick with my "Sonic and the Secret Rings," thank you very much.

...That sucked SO HARD.

Oh come on, that was obviously an act of friendship! There was nothing bad going on there! Although when the act in question happened I did laugh quite a bit to the guy's response.

This actually brings back memories of the Sonic cartoon where at the end of the show he'd have little morals. It specifically brings back the one where Sonic warned against being touched when you didn't want to be. Anyone else remember that or am I too old?

Thats just completley ruined my pristine childhood memories of Sonic and Knuckles...

WHY SEGA?!?!?!?!

Goddamn it Amy... bend over! Come on, bend over, why won't she bend over? For Christ's sake, bend over... oh yea, what?

:'( What a piece of shit.

So bad, it broke my Windows Media Player.

teh real question is : why this girl falls in love with an electric blue hedgehog?
Nowadays, we can see a lot of weird things on the Internet, but that...

It seems pretty redundant for the guy to yell out spoiler excessively when the link posts to "Sonic is dead"

dotdotdot

Why Sega?! WHY?!?!

WTF?

Far too much LSD i reckon.

I think my retinas have gone on strike

I don't really want some sort of cross over hentai in my Sonic games Sega...

Please take that into account...

Racists, they changed the colour of his skin!

Agreed with the guy who says, 'It seems pretty redundant for the guy to yell out spoiler excessively when the link posts to "Sonic is dead."'

... Also the hand made me mad. It was just waving in front of me, but i couldn't slap it away. I was very annoyed. I wanted to punch it, but i couldn't because it was just an illusion. I often like the embedded videos from the bloggers here, but come on people, cool it with the hand waving! It makes me want to punch my monitor. I'd hate to have the mayor of Boston send Kotaku a bill for the price of my monitor on my behalf.

Aside from the hand, the rest of the video made me just as mad. Why sega had to ruin a perfectly good franchise like Sonic is beyond me. Seriously, Sonic Adventure 1, 2, Sonic Riders, Sonic Heroes (ugh), Shadow the Hedgehog, and now Sonic the Hedgehog 360, all of these games were absolute trash. Obviously if they're still making these trash games after all this time, someone must still be buying them, but why someone would subject themselves to such mental torture is beyond me.

All this hand waving, sequel releasing, cutscene watching and ranting is making me very mad. I'm gonna go see my shrink now. Thanks alot Kotaku :(

You can't tell me that wasn't smexy.

The controls cannot be forgiven. Not only is it the worst Sonic game, it's one of the worst games ever made (in my opinion, of course).

Funny how one critic said the only thing that redeemed the game was its story/cutscenes. Well, not really "funny," but it's too early in the morning to perform difficult mental tasks such as coming up with the appropriate word.

"all of these games were absolute trash."

I'm with you on the last 3 (sans the 360/PS3 version, as I've yet to play it), but I still believe Sonic Adventure was the closest thing to a good 3D Sonic game we've seen. The problem is, Sega decided to stick with what was broken in that title (too many suplemental characters) and not sticking to what worked: old school style music - no more J-Rock guitar, please Sega? - levels split up into sections or acts with different music, playing the same levels as different characters (not different or similar levels), a good balance between action and adventuring.

It's like George Lucas and the Star Wars prequels - he had more money and more technology at his disposal, but seemed to forget entirely what made the original movies so great. Sega seem to be making the same mistake.

Does this moment in the game look cheesy? You bet. But it doesn't look any worse than Kingdom Hearts. And really (unfortunately), it's the same age demographic that Sega's going after here. Then again, Final Fantasy X made me cringe more than this, so maybe the demographic has nothing to do with it... perhaps it's more a lack of any kind of script-writing and directorial talent.

In attempting to make a more cinematic experience, Sega may well have dropped the ball. A stripped down title that focuses solely on Sonic and intelligent level design would be the best route, but I'm not yet convinced that the Wii version of Sonic will be that game. It looks like some good arcade-style fun, but OVERLY simplistic and devoid of any kind of exploration and/or freedom.

There has to be a happy medium there somewhere.

If Sonic Rivals is a bust, I think I'll just stick to playing the old games on the Genesis Collection. I have yet to see a Sonic game surpass the originals. And the way Sega keep getting sidetracked with unnecessary characters, I doubt I ever will.

(P.S. Rated M for Mature, for mild coarse language and bestiality XD)

Ugh. So Sonic turns into a Dragonball Z character? Jeez, Sega. WTF?

Ah, hell. I haven't been interested in sonic in ages anyway.

heretrix: Not since before 1992, obviously. (Super Sonic in Sonic 2 = Dragonball Z parody)

I wonder if she used tongue.

I don't see what the big deal is...

Spoiler

I will mention the contents of the video...so if you don't want to know (but then you are viewing this post so you've probably watched the video)

she kissed an animal, I've seen pet owners do that, I seriously don't think it's a big deal. It's not like that character went down on sonic to revive him.

End Spoiler

otherwise a supposedly emotional moment ruined by social norms.

so does this make me an enabler of beastiality?

Necrophiliac bestiality from the princess! Woo!

I want to love you SEGA, why must you make this so hard.. just give me another JSR or something.. let sonic live on the DS.. all will be well.

Yeah so he went Super Saiyajin after a hot chick kissed him. So would I, big deal.

Yeah, big deal. I drowned his ass 100 times a day back in 7th grade.

Then they went back to her place and had some hot hedgehog sex.

They made the ai so real, that when she kissed sonic, amy got pissed....so....they had to cut out that scene....so whats with them making sonic SOO bright yellow in his hyper form..he looks like cheese?

To me, it looked more like she head-butted him.

Ok, I don't know alot about Sonic. But I was pretty sure that the pink hedgehog was in love with Sonic and went absolutely mental when someone tried to do something like that.

And isn't what she did illegal inmost countries? Bestiality and necrophilia? Or do they get off the hook since the screen glows up and you can't actually see her kiss him.

I'd hit it.

(Intentionally ambiguous)

Sonic goes super Saiyan?

First this movie made me think of "Sonic Fantasy XII", then it's more like "Sonic Ball Z", but then everyone blasts off into space? Hopefully they stay there so that we can avoid any further sega embarassment.

Sonic goes Jesus !

Resurection & Ascension, oh really !

Sonic is supposed to be a baddass

Fuck you sega

Thank you callmesteam. You have made my day.

Aye I would have to agree. The new 360 game for Sonic is probably the worst in the series.
I have yet to like a single one of the dreamcast [and beyond]Sonics. He was never built for a 3-d world and the expanding roster of characters just made it worse.

Okay, so now hedgehogs are Dragonball Z characters. Makes perfect sense.

I'm depressed that Sonic is getting more action than me lately

The worst part is that you have to sit through this every time you have to use a continue... yeah.

j/k

uNf

He's wasting all his rings just standing there!

I miss my genesis

Great, this is all the ammo religious right needs to come out and say that gay marriage will lead to people having strange bestial affairs with pre-rendered blue hedgehogs. Oy, lets hope neither Jack Thompson nor Pat Robertson were watching.

Anavrin -
"He's wasting all his rings just standing there!"
You just made my week.
This doesn't seem much different from the horribly corny storylines in the slightly less recent sonic adventure games... but, I vomited when I saw them aswell.

I have no problem with a human chick being entered into the story or an actual, epic plot being introduced. If anything, I'd prefer the latter, since it would give me something to want to continue to play for, rather than beat it just for the sake of beating it. That was my biggest problem with Sonic Adventure; it was a physically great game -- great graphics, good sound, good controls, even the voices weren't atrocious -- but I didn't really have fun when I was playing. Beating it was almost something I felt obligated to do since I had gone through the effort of buying it.

So if Sega wants to give a Sonic game a grand scale, then I won't complain.

But this is just plain wierd. I mean, even in Robocop, they had the chick cut her hair short so there wouldn't be sexual tension between her and a robotic zombie (necro-machinophilia?). Why not have some Prince Charming for this chick to be going after? And it's not like anyone sane is going to beat the game and say afterwards "You know, I kinda wish (chick) and Sonic got together in the end".

i just dont get it....

why is there a chick in sonic?

sonics has allways bene about the little animals and things goin really fast to collect big golden rings and getting special glowy rocks from running down tubes and stuff...

i think i gave up on sonic after it went 3-d.

Sonic + Final Fantasy = WTF?

Everyone just go play Sonic on the the DS and forget this ever existed.

Perhaps this is going to turn into a bizarre turn of events where Sonic (Marios old competitor) ends up only being good on Nintendo systems. Sonic Rush was great and Sonic Wii certainly looks better than this. Sonic Wii actually seems like the closest thing to a 3d version of the 2d games.

This video is just blurg, Sonic being resurrected by a kiss? And why the hell are we starting to get a hedgehog for every colour of the rainbow? Shadow was ok, his game was horrible but I didn't mind the character too much. However now we also get a white one too? Im sure next there will be another sonic clone only in green.

That's NO GOOD.

Drama? In Sonic? Damnit, all I want in a Sonic game is wacky techno music and random killing of Dr. Robuttnik's robots. And at the end, you screw over Robotnik. NO J-Pop. NO more characters. NO cheesry drama. And NO more resurrections -- if Sonic dies, then he starts at the beginning of the level with one less life.
