With how fast things were moving in that Sonic Unleashed gameplay footage unveiled by IGN a few days ago, it was pretty easy to miss interesting elements shown in the video. There were a few things that caught the eyes of our fans (including the clock tower’s stunning resemblance to Big Ben in London), but one of the things that really slipped by a lot of our viewers were the balloons.
Yes, the Balloons… I’m no nut… I know I saw them.
To prove it, I’ve taken the time to take screenshots of the 12 I managed to count in the video (you can see them after the jump). As to what there function will be in Unleashed, it’s hard to say for sure, but they do appear to give Sonic a boost when he hits them. Whether they will be used to help guide the player in the right direction, or lead Sonic to secret, otherwise unaccessible areas is anyone’s guess at this point.
Anyways, I wanted to get everyone’s thoughts on how you see them being used. Also, point out anything else you may have noticed that the rest of us missed on our first… or thirty-first viewing.
Looks like you can lock onto the balloons!
This one was hiding from me… but I found it.
A path to an otherwise inaccessible path?
@Nano:
Which is wat he is doing,save some nightly troubles.
sonic should go back to his home
sonic should go back to his classic - games
@Mike:
yes,sonic is sure messed up.
But it could be that te robots build them.
«SONIC ATTITUDE» must be another game they are planing
I think that i doesnt has relation to the sonic unleashed
Because its fo nintendo DS
Okay, I have to know. What architect in his right mind would place speed pads all over his buildings. Spikes too! That’s a saftey hazard!
@dragonite:
nope no details mentioned, we dont even know if its real, but they say it would complement Unleashed for the DS
Are there any details of what type of game it is?
A platformer would be surprising..
If you take the rush games into acount…
Thanks for this I never woulda noticed fer this article!
I go here to camp sonic looking for updates every day, all you **** saying this place is unreliable don’t know what the **** you’re talking about lol
@admin:
ok, youre right they are just rumours. oh well well see in these days if its true
@Ssonic22: I saw some stuff regarding Sonic Attitude earlier today, but I’m afraid of saying anything quite yet. There are a few obvious errors on the list, leading me to believe that this could have just been… you know… made up.
hey admin I know this is not Unleashed material, but there have been a lot of rumours of a so called “Sonic Attitude” game for the DS, they are speculating that it will be shown in E3 http://www.tssznews.com/2008/06/20/rumor-alert-sonic-attitude-coming-to-e3 , http://gonintendo.com/?p=46828 I know its not a fact but I thought you might want to know it =3
That solves that.
Besides,wikipedia’s and our goals differ a bit,seeing as it needs to be 100% sure of it’s information.
The way they said it was just unpleasant.
And I haven’t seen the high europe in 24 hours.
I deserve punishment
Just kidding,I did’t really be on the internets much today,and the video is awesome,but after so many times of seeing it,I will not really go to the site to watch it.
I guess we have another month of total silence of sega now..
@ admin:
I heard a few days ago how you said that Wikipedia said Camp Sonic wasn’t a reliable source. Well, I posted a link to the Facts Unleashed Page on the Wikipedia Sonic Unleashed page, and in a hidden comment (only visible when the page is edited) put this:
“Camp Sonic has a list of reliable sources, and if it is wrong, replace this comment and post why.”
I have been checking on the page every day to see if it was changed. Today, I noticed it was removed. I checked the hidden comment and it said this and I quote:
“Camp Sonic: Fan site; information in this article is all reliably referenced in the “references” section so no further sources needed. If there is *reliable*, new information from that site that isn’t already in the article, it should be included in the article itself (with original source: i.e magazine or URL) and not in an external link.”
I hope this answers your questions regarding Wikipedia.
Now BTT, I never realized those balloons until after I read this article. I can’t believe I didn’t catch them. Maybe they are to get to new areas?
If my memory does serve me correct, in one of the old sonic games, if you jump on/attack one of the balloons, you would get ten rings. Maybe they are just a way to keep you ring energy consistently running. Or maybe im just crazy. Idk.
Nevermind. Got it.
Does anyone know how to enter the picture i drew for the contest, it would be deeply appriciated.
No idea,but I think the wii version will look a bit like secret rings,and the ps2 version a bit more like heroes.
does anyone as an idea how would it be the wii and ps2 version?
how embarasingi cant belivee i missed them lol.
Good eye! =]
hey everyone, I was just re reading the sonic unleahed plotline and I know this is kind of off the point but I was just wondering. The plot starts with eggie waking a slumbering east from the center of the earth and then skip one or two action scenes turns our favourite blue blur into a werehog. When has eggman eva had a mecha that could do that? well i was wondering, what if this slumbering beast is this wolf thing? Perhaps this has been previously speculated and i’m a little behind the times but its just a brainstorm.
Soz if this sounds stupid
