At least Sega is trying now. Got's to have 2D like Smash bros. I think they learned. This might kick sonic back into place. Good job Sega. *put in the original sega logo sound "saye-guh!" That's kick ass.

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> @Ellipses253: 3D Blast is one of my favorites, and I particularly liked the music. Made ringtones out of it so that now I get to hear Lava Reef and Diamond Dust every time I get a call.

I'm willing to bet that they don't want to change Eggman's name back because he's already got that ridiculous theme song that they'd have to rewrite. "I am the Eggman, that's what I am. I am the Eggman, I've got the master plan."

StickyPurpleCat

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> I'm not hype about the game, but I'm certainly into the engine their using. If Sonic Team uses it to make future sonic titles, they could make less glitchy games - which is amongst their issues.

Funny. The werewolf thing is very rediculous, but we shouldn't be discouraged from that. The visuals are amazing, but hopefully they make it more explorable, rather than run in one direction which is a concern.

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> @weeoo:

Yeah I hate the name eggman it sounds like a megaman name that was rejected!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

freespeech

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> Im really dissapointed in you guys that believe Eggman's name is actually Robotnik, and try to sound like true Sonic fans. His name has always been Eggman in the original (jp) versions of all of the sonic games. Sega was retarded and decided to translate Eggman to Robotnik for whatever reason.

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> other than that if it`s sucky... I would have to say sonic adventure battle 2 and Sonic the hedgehog for the Xbox 360 have to be the best ive played in my years

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> It looks like it's going back to the classic times where Sonic races through the course. I am happy with this.
It doesn't look like there will be any princess rescuing to do on this game. Woohoo!

For some reason the trailer makes me put my face closer and closer to the monitor.

Kagome122

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> Nice to see this game's coming to Wii also, I hope they actually make an effort with it and not just plain port the PS2 version.. ah who am I kidding, they'll do it anyway. :( In any case, I'm looking forward to the release come late 2008.

ratix240sx

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> So far it's miles ahead of anything Sega has done in 3D so far (save for Sonic Adventure). Keep it up Sega, I think you're onto something! Also, the visuals are amazing!

I'm not worried about the push in a direction and sit-back mechanic. If anyone has played the originals recently, you'd notice that there was actually a lot of that going on within the levels. I don't consider this a violation of original Sonic gameplay by any means.

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> Huh? No fancy Sonic logo? Just Times New Roman font??!! Well, I'd rather have a good looking & hopefully fun game than fancy logos anyday!

dawimp523

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> The first part of City Escape from Sonic Adventure 2 was the only pure moment in recent History. Sonic games work by allowing you to go slow or fast, but essentially being on both a literal and psychological tilt that pushes you to go as fast as possible, lest you get tripped up and lose the flow. There have to be obstacles that you feel rewarded for making it through at high speeds, and most of this clip shows that.

It's very possible the game play will be fine, but as long as they keep calling him Eggman I'll never be able to listen to them talk without cringing. What the FUDGE was wrong with Robotnik? It was totally perfect. Defined him entirely and plain sounded cool, gave him IDENTITY. Eggman is a generic term much like "King Koopa". All "King Koopa" ever implied was that it was the king of the many koopas, but the proper name of Bowser gave him his identity. Nintendo was smart enough to go with Bowser, so it is sad Sega hasn't realized how lame and meaningless Eggman is.

Bobby McPresscott

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> I don't know if it's just me, but I kinda see this as a console version of the DS games, in terms of the side scrolling action. If they throw in a trick system, then I guess Sonic Advance is in the mix as well. And if this plays much like those two along with a bit of Sonic Adventure 2, then let me (hopefully) be the first to say "I called it".

bugashi

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> i thinks they got it down!

burningranger01

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> "Sega reveals a bit about the plot of the game, which features the vile Dr. Eggman breaking apart the entire world, with Sonic and the power of the chaos emeralds the only hope of putting things right"
fantastic. The main Mario games have rocked and they've had a piss simple storyline the entire time, the same in 2-d as it is in 3-d, so hopefully Sonic having the same storyline as the original 2-d will help!
looks great except looks a bit too 'on-rails' but we'll see...don't let me down Sega, don't botch the Wii version either, the Secret Rings was good but hopefully this will be GREAT

excel_excel

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> Three years on the engine... clearly they're putting a lot of effort into making this this doesn't suck. Let's hope they succeed.

Sabre_Justice: Okay, no more long name.

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> This looks awesome. It looks gorgeous and looks like it plays like sonic should. However I still have a fondness for Sonic adventure. Some of the levels were superb in that for the time e.g. emerald coast where you have to escape a killer whale. Three years just to develop the engine for sonic unleashed.... that is how it should be done! good games take time. Mario galaxy began development during the gamecubes life, ALBEIT IN VARIOUS FORMS. Thank you Sega for putting more effort, time and love into this than the past few sonic games (not that . I would rather have one superb sonic game per console generation than 3 average games, just like there is usually only 1 real mario per generation (not including NES)

topbanana

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> heh if its glitch free i'd be happy, the last one was almost unbeatable in some areas, i said many a profanity over it. But the makers of sonic are not known to learn from mistakes so i'm not going to hold my breath on this one, likely to be crap (again)

Phantazmo

Phantazmo

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> @kidnicky: I think the problem is the new design, with the spherical fatness and skinny legs. I liked the old beachball with nubs look.

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> Why's everyone bitching about Eggman keeping his real name? Is it opposite day? I thought we hated stupid American editing and preferred to experience things the way the audience was meant to. That's why all anime is supposed to be subtitled,right? Is this still the internet?

kidnicky

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> Nothing spells "We're Nintendo copycats" than placing a werewolf theme in this game. So soon after the release of Twilight Princess, too. What's their excuse: that it wasn't Mario who turned into a wolf but Link? Or that Nintendo wasn't the first one, either, to come up with a werewolf idea? Please. This looks like such shameless copycatting.

I'll say one good thing about the Sonic werewolf idea: it definitely brings me back to the old days when we used to discuss the Nintendo vs. Sega wars.

ryohazuki

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> Let me first say that this game looks great. The videos and screen shots look amazing. However, what the HELL were they thinking throwing the warewolf thing into the game?! I thought this was going to renew the Sonic series, and that this game would be a return to the classic Sonic games of old - No gimmicks, just high speed, themed levels, and platforming. But no, they have to throw in some stupid bull about warewolves, and I'm sure it's not just that. Way to fail yet again Sega, you had a good shot, too, shame.

TheDaftPunk

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> I kinda wish it'd be more like Adventure but this is better than what's occurred since Adventure. Hopefully it turns out.

Samos42

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> This is good to see. Maybe Sega will finally redeem themselves in 2008. They have been severely slacking in my opinion. They messed up many of their most prominent franchises the past few years (i.e. Sonic and Phantasy Star)

Jinto

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> @BtownDesignGuy: Sonic and the Secret Rings sold over a million copies, more than the 360 and PS3 versions of Sonic '06 combined.

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> @Erinaceus: And another thing, it's not because he's rendered in 3D. It's because the games fucking sucked. Seriously. This just looks the same as the last one they did, but with a 2D camera angle.

KM91

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> Sonic adventure was the last Sonic game I was ever exited about. The beach and metropolis levels had a good mix of platforming and speed, almost but not quite like the genesis games. While the graphics on this one look amazing, my instinct tells me it's going to suck. Why do they keep showing shots of Sonic just moving forward? Ok we get it, Sonic is fast, whatever. Don't they get that just holding the stick to the right for the entire level is not fun? It's not just 3D, Sonic Rush had that too. In the old games, you might have had the occasional looping, but never these huge move forward sections. Can't they make the levels more dense with enemies, traps, platforms? Since they are not showing any of that, I can only conclude that the game is going to be bad.

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> I really hope there's some sort of Green / Emerald Hill Zone derivative in this one. That forest looks fantastic but it's still no GHZ ...

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> Mas happy. Just started adventure 2 on dc for the first time.

JesseLacey

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> I've been reading a lotta comments voicing anger over the whole werewolf thing. Look, if you're going to boycott a game simply because of a gameplay gimmick, then you are an idiot. It is, for lack of a better comparison, just like hating Twilight Princess because Link also goes all-out wolf. A reversion to 2.5D is what you've all been pining for, why the fuck would you complain about something that probably won't even factor much into the core game?

As for me...like I said, I'm not sold on this title either, but it's not because of the werewolf, it's still because I think a 2.5D game that marries Secret Rings and Rush isn't the answer to Sonic's problems.

Erinaceus

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> @NightMystic: Agreed. And, more importantly, I hope that the levels feature many different paths like the old games, 'cause that was the coolest thing that set Sonic apart from other games.

Spiffyness

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> Development for 3 years under Sonic Team? I'm both amazed they kept it under wraps for so long and worried at the same time because it is Sonic Team. Their track record reads like a B-movie director's downward drunken spiral. Still though, I am a fan of the sonic series so If they can even put some shine on a pretty tarnished series. If not my money is on Bioware's RPG.

chirokitsune

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> @solar_tf: Yeah. Just for once, I'd like to see the PS2 version be a port of the Wii version. But that would require the hardcore gamers who on a Wii to actually buy games.

It looks rather fast for the little fella to be moving, and I also hope that the wii controls don't get screwed over.

On the brighter side, Im Loving, and I mean Im all about the gorgeous sets, and level designs, as of right now from what the video has shown I would get this game just for level designing alone.

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> @-MoarPlz-: Screw you, buddy. I may be skeptical of this game, but at least I don't dismiss it outright simply because Sonic's rendered in polygons instead of pixels.

Lockenator

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> I'm still extremely skeptical about this game...from what precious little I've seen of it, it looks to be the hybridization of gameplay seen in Sonic and the Secret Rings and Sonic Rush, and neither titles were anything I consider to be that fantastic. I mean, Rush was fun, but it was mindless fun, and Secret Rings I just downright hated.

Only four comments in and someone felt the need to give another "He'll never be Eggman!" comment. Shut up already. I grew up with the name Robotnik too, but you don't see me whining over useless semantics.

urban_ryoga

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> @kent_f: I'm pretty sure by now that the different camera angles is just a debug mode of sort. They would never let a sonic game play like that. Why do they focus on those different shots though for the trailer? I dunno. They would be better off showing CGI than dramatic views of in game footage.

The whole werewolf thing is going to make me mad, but the wolf thing in Twilight Princess frustrated me as well. I still ended up liking the game though. But still, a hedgehog/werewolf is something only an otaku nut can create and love. If I want wolves in my games I'll just play Okami. Thank you mucho! >_>

Sega, you finally sold me into buying a console Sonic game post SA2. Gimmie now!

HaydenTenno

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> Eggman breaks apart the world (probably resulting in mini-world that Sonic must solve) and Sonic turns into a werewolf!? Did marketing just look at all the top selling Wii titles and throw them into a blender and say "Make that!" Does it include sections where Sonic must balance on a board in order to increase flexibility and lose weight as well?

TrettOff

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> The gameplay in this reminds me of early PSX games. Pandemonium meets Crash Bandicoot, but simplified.

Which, aside from being an 10 year step backward for gaming, looks like a better Sonic game than we've had recently.

That sounds like a horrible reason to have a retcon - just because that's his name in Japan. Why wait so long after years of comics, television shows and games in English have referred to him as Robotnik?

It's almost as criminal as rewriting Spiderman's past.

burpingcat

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> @hondo: "im hondo, ive never played anything besides sonic rush/advanced."

first of all... as much as i LOVE the sonic rush/advanced games, thats a big minus for those games. you only hold forward and jump at random intervals. but go back and play sonic 3 or sonic and knuckles. LOTS of platforming. jumping up to catch this thing, push that thing, or break those things. although the 3d games are largely dismissed from older fans, they also have alot of platforming. actually too much platforming in my book (mainly because it isnt good platforming). now if they find a balance between super fast run and jump (in the latest 2d), and platform with terrible camera angles in 3d, it would be pefect.

anyone else that has played the rush series feel like THIS should have been called sonic rush adventure? it really looks like hes doing that speed burst that you constantly do in the rush series. me thinks sega realized that dimps had ppl defending the sonic series, while sonic team had ppl trashing it. so they got dimps to work with sonic team to show them how to make better 3d sonics.

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> The Sonic segments of Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 on the Dreamcast were GREAT, FANTASTIC! Ever since ... not so much.

So, if this can recapture the magic of THOSE games (which, as much as I loved the Genesis games, I couldn't go back after the SA ones on the DC) then it will be a valued purchase for me come crowded late 2008.

And then I see the word 'werewolf' ........

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> I wouldn't be blazing through pretty levels. This looks good.

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> Star Wars Unleashed, Sonic Unleashed.....

So Unleashed is the "Super" of the new dacade? Super Mario, Super Metroid, Super Street Fighter

I hope so! It will bring me many laughs...

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> @lilaliendog: look at what hondo is saying. Thats exactly the problem I'm fearing from this game. Yes the originals did have left and right movement and that was perfect. There was also jumping around and actually having control of Sonic himself. In the later versions it was all about speed. Yes Sonic is known for his speed, but i want to play as Sonic the Hedgehog, not watch him run across a screen and press the jump button to jump on a trampoline which will just send him flying into more watching and less playing.

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> @NightMystic:

That's what to expect, if you dislike that then obviously Sonic isn't for you.

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> I haven't been this giddy for a Sonic game in a long time! Like, Sonic Adventure for the Dreamcast-giddy or even Sonic & Knuckles for the Genesis-giddy. And while the werewolf concept is one to be left for skepticism I just hope it doesn't end up putting what seems to be a great Sonic game down the shithole.

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> What's up with the UNLEASHED posts today?

Sonic Unleashed, Force Unleashed, Any hope for a Nintendogs Unleashed or a Professor Layton Unleashed.

*Fingers crossed*

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> @Derigor: Remote Play would probably work nicely with the PSP if it just moved the Chaos games over... The DS can adopt some Pokemon Battle Revolution connectivity via download play to do that... Wow... This might be awesome (Glares at the 360.)

Megan Fox iz Hot ^-^ -ph15h

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> I loved the original sonics and the Adventures/Advance/Rush Series... not so much the spin offs and the PS3/360 one. Sonic and the Secret Rings brought back the fast pace.

Werewolf... I guess everybody is doing something with wolves these days.
*goes to preorder Okami for the Wii off amazon* (can't believe i forgot)

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> How to do chaos? answer DS/PSP functionality. Do it!!!! I need to raise and Race chaos at work, and play memory and give them presents!!!!

Derigor

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> @weeoo: His name will never be Robotnick either =P

I was kinda hoping Sonic Team weren't behind this, but hopefully they'll pull their weight this time.

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> *sigh*

I'm....I'm excited about that one. But...the history. My god the history.

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> You wont just hold down "right" on the stick/d-pad anymore!
God I miss Sonic. It's like my life died when the 32x had that terrible terrible chaotix. Side note... The first Dreamcast Sonic was awesome.

Derigor

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> If this is bad like sonic 06 was this has to be the end of the line for this. I'm going to wet myself laughing if the werewolf segments do this in.

Demonbird

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> @NightMystic: the original had 2 true directions of user movement left or right though you could jump, duck/look down, look up so technically as long as it has those elements it should success.

Please make me a happy Sonic fan again.

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> Sonic games must be the easiest games to design.

1. hold right button
2. throw in wall/spikes/bumper to break up level
3. repeat

...

* throw in dramatic camera angle as desired

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> looks fun.

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> "which features the vile Dr. Eggman breaking apart the entire world"

Dr. Eggman? Wow, Dr. Robotnik was way cooler, albeit also retarded. When did his name change?

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> This is gonna be more awesome than the latest Radiohead album.

Bruticus

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> The closer we get to 2D games again, the closer I get to purchasing. I for one am REALLY happy to see this video, because I had no idea they were going for a 2.5D thing. This game went from "Oh great, another Sonic game" on my radar to "Wow, I really gotta follow this one and see what happens". Maybe Sonic RPG won't be the only good Sonic on the horizon after all :)

goomba478

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> Looks like they combined the two things that have ever worked for Sonic. 2-D side scrolling and 3-D railed like in The Secret Rings.

Mommar

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> Hey this looks good. Sonic is fast. And it seems fun. On my radar now, despite the werewolf thingie.

Candlejack

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> I'll probably get it. Hopefully the Wii controls wont suck.

greeneggsnsam

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> It LOOKS great, but by my reckoning that's way too fast to be able to control properly. I think it will be a button-mashers paradise.

IronsUK

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> Here is hoping the werewolf segments don't blow and ruin the game like they did in Twilight Princess.

Demonbird

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> *sigh* Just like Megaman X7 fused 2D and 3D elements and received a 10/10 by Ohfucknotanotherrevisionsequel.com

acez2087

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> Okay, fine Sega! I'll be optimistic about this one. Don't let me down!

PositivelyJosh

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> Heres hoping they bring back the Chao mini game in this one. It was one of my favorite parts of Sonic Adventure. Which was easily my favorite Sonic game series.

Now if we could just do away with this "werewolf" mechanic.

LionheartAce

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> Is it foolish to hope that this might be a good-- no, I'm not even going to finish that sentence and jinx it.

MisterSleep

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> I'm sorry but it's not Dr. Eggman it's Dr. Robotnick, his name will never be Eggman!

weeoo

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> Greece looks wonderful.. this video made me nostalgic :'(

alextz

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> I still think there are too many camera angles to make this a legit Sonic game. You won't know where you're going half of the time. If the reviews are good I'll check it out.

kent_f

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> and again, wii gets lumped with PS2... meh.

solar_tf

]]> <![CDATA[Sonic Unleashed Is Official]]> Game looks great, but i hope it doesn't play like "hold the direction your moving in while the entire level zips by.
