Balloons in Sonic Unleashed?
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?
