Just in case you missed the actual live footage of Sonic Unleashed being played by Assistant Product Marketing Manager at SoA, Ken Balough and Executive Producer at Gamespot, Ryan Mac Donald, the video has now been made available for you viewing pleasure – All 25 minutes of it.
If you’ve been looking for some real gameplay of Sonic Unleashed, this may be the best thing you’ll see all of E3. Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Werehog… it’s all there folks, and in much better quality that we saw streaming live earlier. You can set up the quality of the video from the Menu in Gamespots viewer!
Thanks to iNAUDiBLE and Timmit for bringing this to our attention. And thanks to everyone else who kept reminding me while I was out!
Btw, Sonic 4 is going to have Super Sonic! link...
nice
first comment and nice werehog demo gameplay
oops im not first comment after alll
man the game looks so smooth and colorful i cant wait! @ David Leggett: dont forget to ask if the chao garden’s will appear again!
I guess this is what I missed right?
the homing attack looks kinda incomplicated, it just a blue cylinder from behind sonic, so I hope its just unfisished and not that they just got lazy.
@david leggett are you going to have your confress tomarrow?
@david legget
like bluehog45 said whens the conference???????
cool,,,,
I’m still waiting for word on Chao Garden though…
Though I am excited to see they brought back old idle animations for Sonic, like laying down and waiting for the player…
Hope it’s good!
Is it possible to get this Video as a Downloadable version, I would like to play it on my iPod and watch it when ever I want to?!
please tell me if your going to have the confrense
tomarrow
Floating boxes in China.
thats wierd
the music when youre in werehog form sounds alot different from daytime stages
Wait a minute ……. listen closely when he jumps from rail to rail. It sounds like ……………… JASON! Respect has gone down. But only by a little bit.
is it me or does this game look too easy in sonics levels
the old games always used to have a nice difficulty
i would really like to see that coming back
AWSOMNESS!
Sonic looks strange when he jumps.
I’m glad to see that the game has Sonic Adventure Physics (Like up goes forward, down goes backwards etc…) instead of Secret Rings movement (You couldn’t move backwards in that game right?… I’ve never played it…)
It’s just that the levels are set up fairly linearly, so it was hard to notice…
sonic doesnt lose all his rings when damaged
what the **** is that
psst. i saw it waaaaaaaaay before you posted it. sorry i didn’t tell u, i had to leave my house
@ juaouad
It looks rather challenging to me.
- Running into walls at 300mph if you miss a button.
- Falling into bottomless pits.
- Running over water only to lose ring energy and drown.
- Unable to regather rings when you hit spiked balls on the rails.
- ******** up the qte and going down the bad route.
If you’re a little kid this game is gonna be torture.
ahhhhhhh cmon when is the confrenes! i think i spelled it wrong
@Hype92:
Big deal. It sounds the same to me, and I don’t care.
when i firtst saw sonic in the game i felt a little bit anoyed by the way he looked
i didnt know what it was but it was there
i made a comparison from his looks in secret rings and unleashed from the side
i think his spikes are to large ,, i mean why,, it just makes him look ****..
in super smash bros he looks good too,, his spikes there arent so large like in unleashed
it looks much better why do they exaggerate, his spikes used to be so short and now their making them so larg that i dont even know if he can carry that bid ****** head of his
here just an example of what i mean: http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/7499/naamloosjh3.png
i just hoped that i could tell them that
he looks **** like ***
the werewolf kickass though
erm, thats kinds extreme, cool down.
im like a diehard fan since i was 4 years behind my 8 bit master system..
i cant do anything about it,, the details for me are so important and i wish that the makers would understand if they would look more at the previous games:(
Mike
he needs to lose all his rings thats just how it works man
2 times getting hit is DEAD
not 3 4 5 6 7 8 or million
come on weve seen it in adventure 1 and 2 it worked fine
shadow the hedgehog was the first sonic game to have the element and it sucked ***!! i want them to fix this:(:’(
@juaouad:
Juaoaud, Sonic DOESN’T lose all his rings in Sonic Rush (and I assume rush adventure) and that game is fine.
I have Sonic Adventure 1 and 2. No matter how many times you get hit, the ring falls right next to you… so you can easily get hit a million times. In the end, it was always the PITS that made people lose.
You’re just being negative.
@juaouad:
Have you played Sonic Rush?
i need some wii info on this game
come on,, i get your point but dont you think i do too
wasnt that the charm of a sonic game,
like doing a boss level and get hit losing all your rings and do everything to keep that one ring in your possesion..
*sonic rush adventure didnt have it*
maybe i am being negative,,, but maybe there are some people that would understand me
Actually, I don’t remember… I think you DO lose all your rings in Sonic Rush…
@okay
i got both rush series in my possesion
i liked them both
i dont remember that sonic doesnt lose all his rings in rush 1 let me check it out havent played it for long
@juaouad:
juaoad, in Sonic Rush… when you get HIT often… the ring goes FURTHER away from you.
So it isn’t any easier. For example, lets say you get hit once…. the ring falls next to you. Get hit AGAIN… the ring goes further away. 3rd time… that ring is LONG…. gone. If you got hit alot during the levels… even having 2 rings would be dangerous… because… the instant another enemy touched you it would fly VERY FAR AWAY and be difficult to get.
@juaouad: If you wanted them to go back to 100% old-school conventions, he wouldn’t get the cool boost meter and the rings would do NOTHING for him aside from providing 1 hit invulnerability and extra-life gain. Because rings serve a completely different function in this game, it makes more sense not to lose them ALL in one hit.
No, in Sonic Rush you definitely lose all your rings… I’m confusing that with another.
@okay: but you do lose all the rings
Ok. That was awesome. I noticed some things on WereSonic. There were white flames going up his arms, and on the back of his spikes. I think. We’re about five months away from Sonic Unleashed. I wonder when the demo will be out . . .
@ChaoticFox: putting some new elements in a game that make the game better is never wrong
but giving up on elements that were allready woring fine in the game is just lame and stupid
the old school games were the best,, i never get bored finishing sonic 3 and knuckles
it was perfect!!!! so why change the concept of losing all the rings.. did you have a problem with that ?
@juaouad:
I’m sorry, I guess you are right…
I must be thinking of Shadow the Hedgehog… or Sonic 06… I guess you are correct.
@juaouad:
I wasn’t defending this game, I was only defending Sonic Rush. I remembered, that there was something “different” about rings in Sonic Rush… but I guess you are right….
However… I don’t like losing… so I’ll think of a reason to defend this game.
@okay: its no problem mate, its just that im anoyd by the fact they are putting this in the new game… i just hope they make the game harder so it balances with the rings system
It’s in Sonic heroes.
you look rings depending how strong was the enemies attack, the same for 06 and secret rings.
@juaouad: No, I didn’t. But like I said, with the new things they added, it made more sense to change the ring mechanic. If the new elements were not ring-related, I would agree that changing something that worked well for no reason at all would be stupid. But in this case, I feel it was justified.
@juaouad:
You are absolutely correct! You are indeed a hardcore Sonic Fan, no doubt. I should not question you.
@wiinterfang: they all sucked
heroes average
we should complain at sonic team
:P
[...] Update: You can now watch the full 25 minute demonstration of Sonic Unleashed. [...]
@juaouad:
juauouad, it’s good to speak to a worthy Sonic fan.
But I have to point something out that, even you may have missed. When Sonic got hit, he may not have lost all his rings… BUT… the time he spent “blinking” seemed very short… or even instant.
So while Sonic may not lose all of his rings, you probably cannot run around invincible for long. So it may balance out!
@ jujuchan
I like the homing attack animation. Its similar to Sonic Adventure’s homing attack, which was the best! Though that is my opinion, and you do have yours.
@ juaouad
remember the level that were seeing in the video is the first level, its bound to be easy. And we don’t see much of the china one, it might get a lot harder. And sonic hasn’t lost all of his rings in one hit for awhile now. I believe they started that in Shadow the Hedgehog. In this game especially because goes so fast, it would be pretty frustrating to loose all your rings because you didn’t see one enemy or some spikes. Though I can see why you wouldn’t like that. I didn’t like it at first either.
I LOL’d at Ryan Mac Donald not knowing where to put that red key. ^_^ Oh man, I’m drooling over this!
we will see when it comes out
it can go every direction till then.. i just hope that when i finish the game i will be like woww… and i hope it takes a lot of skills and not just running and sometimes getting hit with 200 rings in my possesion that would make it like impossible for me to die unless i fall in a pit by a dirty mistake,,,
all im asking for is a challenging sonic game..
in the sonic gameplay i didnt see any enemie really attempting to attack sonic..
like i said they still got a long way to go so maybe the enemies can change too
correction wiifp we are 5 months, but technically we are 4 months from SU
@juaouad:
Juaouad, you are pretty smart. I’m actually impressed… you weren’t being negative, what you said actually made sense.
@G&E: it has always been like that
running fast and out of nowhere spikes come up that will hit you if you dont jump quickly
its frustrating yess but it made me play more carefully till i reached the next few rings.. and later on you get better and better so then finishing a level with 200/300 rings would make me feel like the man
@okay: thanks man.. it pains me to be negative about sonic but im just sick of what happened to sonic…
i cant sleep at night
@juaouad: You can’t sleep at night? I hope that’s a hyperbole because even though I’m waiting for this too, dude, It’s just a game.
awwhahwahawh dont tell me you were really taking that seriously
You know what would be awesome! If you could go into the settings of the game and change if you loose all your rings in one hit or not, because you are right, juaouad, about the difficulty ringwise. I just made myself happy thinking about that. I’d prob prefer to loose all rings in one hit, but if I have to keep some that’s fine with me.
David Leggett, maybe you should have your friend suggest that opinion to sega during their conference.
@juaouad: Phew! Man, you never know what characters you’ll bump into on the big wide web! ^_^
@G&E: this david leggett you are mensioning… please let him do that
sonic team doesnt know what they are doing
My concern is whether not that.. (after you beat the game) there’ll be a mode to play as Sonic only… or WereSonic only.
This way, once the game is completed… you could really get a classic “Sonic” feel.
But I do not want this game to be “rushed…” suggesting something to Sega may cause a distraction.
I do not think your “ring suggestions” will work.
You see, if you mention this concern to Sega, they’d respond; “but this game will become very difficult due to the statistical blah blah blah…”
@juaouad: I see what you mean juaouad. I personally am a fan of old school sonic myself( since about 5) although I must admit the first sonic games were qquite challenging. The first sonic in particular was definately the hardest one for me. Obviously the games have been dumbed down considerably to appeal to a broader range as well as not make it too hard on the little guy.
Again, I completely agree with you. these games still need a perfect balance between difficulty and fun. While the first titles were challenging, make no mistake, I found them perhaps too challenging to the point of sometimes discouraging the player from running fast to begin with. Only time will tell, I think.
please do reply back anyone who agrees or otherwise with my opinion ^_^
I do not think your “ring suggestions” will work.
You see, if you mention this concern to Sega, they’d respond; “but Sonic Unleashed is already a challenging game due to the statistical blah blah blah… our main difficulty of Sonic boost… blah blah…”
It’s too direct, and too obvious… since in Sonic games you usually lose all rings when hit, it’s obvious that Sega “purposely” made this change. Asking them to change it may only offend them.
i remember myself as a 4 year old never finishing any sonic game
i understand what you mean but nowadays you got saves,,, only that alone make the game easy enough..you can repeat the levels and then finally finish them.
sonic 1 was the hardest sonic game ever made and now you mention it… when i think about it… it was awesome
@okay: if they cant change that i hope the difficulty will add up to it
I’m so glad they added this to their list of videos. Otherwise, I would have gone insane, knowing I missed it. But there’s still nothing for the game on Xbox Live…
I’m definitely one you would call a “classic Sonic” fan, and I am also one of the gamers who has been disappointed and upset by many of the recent titles in the series.
However, despite my absolute love for and devotion to the Genesis classics, I grow increasingly frustrated with people constantly clamoring for Sega to make these new next-gen titles EXACTLY THE SAME AS GAMES MADE ALMOST TWO DECADES AGO.
I understand that there are some important mechanics that should not be changed, and elements that have become almost iconic and should therefore be included in every game… and part of why we’ve all gotten so excited over this game is because it’s promised a return to many traditional styles and ELEMENTS of the previous games.
However, if we’re really going to get all anal and nit-picky about every single way these newer games differ from the originals, you may as well start screaming about the third dimension too… and the fact that there isn’t a patch of checkerboard colored dirt to be found. Constant complaints like these almost seem as ridiculous as someone whining that the mushrooms in Mario Kart give you a speed boost rather than make your character larger.
I love Sonic. I love classic Sonic more than next-gen Sonic. However, I recognize that they are two separate categories altogether, and the smartest thing Sega can do is to take the positive elements out of both games and attempt to fuse them in harmony with one another (as was the idea when creating this game). This means changes. Compromise. Sonic can’t stay stuck in the second dimension forever, even if that’s where we originally became friends, and Sonic can’t continue to be the exact same Genesis game repeated over and over from console to console.
Here’s to hoping for a beautiful, harmonious fusion of the old and new.
okjj
but still sonic should lose all his rings when being hit
@juaouad:
There could be an alternative to losing “all rings” when hit. However, this is something I recommend only for the 3d games.
Perhaps, a weak enemy could take 20 or so rings… and a STRONG enemy could take 50 rings when hit. This way, you may actually “fear” some enemies more than others. Sonic 06 seems to have atleast “attempted” that.
This way, you may actually “fear” some enemies more than others. This could work in 3d. Perhaps, this game may be like that.
Amen, I feel the same.
…
Even if you do hate Shadow.
See, at least disliking 3D Sonic is popular within the community. You know what’s horrible? Having an unpopular stance like “I dislike 3D…Mario games”. I swear, the entire Mario fan community thinks I’m an idiot but I don’t get the same feel from the new games as the 2D ones. That said, they are quality games. I hope Sonic has the same thing happen…carry the “feel”(in Sonic’s case…that’s an Adrenaline Rush) but at the same time be entirely different. Revamps of our childhood will never be as good as we’ve built things up to be. It’s why I can’t enjoy Superman Returns as much as the 80’s movies, despite appreciating it’s quality.
I think I can appreciate both 2D and 3D because I was a kid for both eras. I was 7 when Sonic 2 came out, and I was a teen when I played SA for the first time. Both versions of the series have nostalgic value to me. They could have kept putting out improved versions of SA2 and Heroes and I would enjoy it. But…the games aren’t made for me. So, I’m all for whatever makes the series best for both new and old. What we want are new Sonic fans!
Wait, why are we arguing? Let’s enjoy what looks like, at worst, an entertaining product(even if it ends up flawed).
That was “@” chaotic fox
@ okay: Yeah, I think that makes sense. I personally think it’s nice to have some reward for collecting lots of rings and if it means that “weak” enemies only cost you some rings…then it carries a long the idea that rings make you more powerful.
If I were making a 3D Sonic, I’d toy with the idea of ring energy being a shield in some ways. The more rings you have, the stronger the shield. The stronger the shield, the easier it is to break that shield. That said, some enemies should always cost you all rings.
It makes sense, but I guess it’d be like explaining why a goomba shouldn’t cause the same damage as Bowser in a Mario game. Messing with established practice is always risky, but maybe since you can accumulate rings as a shield…they will then make enemies tougher to kill and more plentiful? Just a thought(probably a bad one).
So, back to the real game…a space level seems pretty likely now, right?
@Crazee: Now there’s some solid logic. I like that. Cheers! -raises glass-
I meant the programmers could make the enemies tougher…here I go typing when tired again. And quadruple posting.
@Crazee:
Well, my ring idea is for 3d games… not 2d. You see, in Mario.. (and Sonic) you are more likely to smash into an enemy when on a 2d plane.
In 3d… Sonic… it’s really just the bottomless pits that get you. While I’m not saying to add an “energy bar” like Mario, there needs to be more of a challenge than just… avoiding pits. Instead of “hardest level” just meaning “the most pits…” perhaps it could also mean the “strongest enemies.”
all enemies should let you lose all the rings it doesnt depend on how strong they are it depends on if they CAN hit you… if thats what you mean by strong
you guys talk **** you know
whats this whole shield idea all about
dont compare sonic with mario;)
This whole losing all your rings thing is getting ridiculous. In all reality, any classic Sonic gamer should know that the ring factor was NEVER a source a difficulty in the older games. ONE ring was all you EVER needed, and obtaining thousands of them only made it easier to retrive them when lost. The only time anybody ever died in a classic Sonic game is when falling into the dreaded pits we keep talking about, or during the boss fights where the rings tend to bounce off of the stationary screen so you can’t get them back ><
I never really liked how in sonic heroes and later sonic games that some enemies take more than one hit to kill. I hope that all the enemies in Sonics story are killed in one hit, hopefully that doesn’t make the game too easy. I just feel like that’s how it should be in a sonic game. However, the werehog level enemies should take more than one hit, because its mostly about combat. It’s not that big of a deal to me though, I don’t want it to sound like I’m complaining because I’m not, I’m just saying what I prefer. There’s nothing that could change my mind about getting this game anyway. I can’t wait!…,but I really can because I don’t want it to be rushed.
@ChaoticFox: thats not true
in older sonic games when losing all rings you had to struggle through a few obstacles before getting that one ring again like fire shooting from walls or enemies in the way,,,
pits didnt get used alot in the older days
just check it out
nowadays its like the pits are the only ways you can lose a life
so why dont they just remove all the enemies in the game if they only slow you down,, they dont kill you anyway if thats what you mean
Everyone seems to have good points, but now I’m going to bed, as I should have like 2 hours ago.
@juaouad: In the older Sonic games you only had to travel through those obstacles to obtain more rings IF you were unsuccessful at retrieving any of the ones you dropped (which I don’t recall being too troublesome, most of the time).
Hell, what these new games SHOULD do is bring back the spike traps. Those don’t seem to get a lot of use anymore (though I can understand the difficult in placing them in a 3D environment), but maybe with this new transition to 2D, they could add more trap elements. Things that require reflexes to avoid.
As for the enemies only slowing you down, that’s WHY they’re there! In a Sonic game, the thrill comes from moving quickly through the stages and avoiding things which would cause you to lose that momentum. I was never afraid of a motobug actually KILLING me, but I certainly always made the effort to jump over or on top of him to ensure maximum speed. Again, more reflexes.
classic sonic was annoying for me… also sonic HEROES is SA3,the director guy wanted it to be more appealing to other people who were new to the series and stuff look it up on wikipedia!! one more thing im writing this from my Wii XD §±∞·%×|/\÷=[]{}^~™©®ºª♭♪*←→↑↓#$¢€£¥àáâäåæãçèéêëìíîïñòóôöœøõßùúûüýÿÀÁÂÄÅÆÃÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÑÒÓÔÖŒØÕÙÚÛÜÝŸαβγδεζηθικλμνξοπρστυφχψωΑΒΓΔΕΖΗΘΙΚΛΜΝΞΟΠΡΣΤΥΦΧΨΩ;΄΅Ά·ΈΉΊΌΎΏΐΪΫάέήίΰςϊϋόύώ◎☆○◇□□△.,‘:;„“”’”?!()_¿¡«»&ö told ya! XD
i can zoom in yay!!!
Let me be honest… in 2d, I do not mind losing all rings when hit.
In 3d, I’d like the game to be longer, and have more challenges. I’d like it if certain enemies were more threatening than others.
If I see a flaming dragon, I’d like that enemy to be more damaging than a monkey throwing coconuts. This way, I could try extra hard to avoid certain things. I mean in 3d… I’d be annoyed to lose all 300 rings… just because I slipped on a banana.
I don’t know. When the game comes out, let’s just see what happens.
@ChaoticFox: wahwah maybe in the first levels
but later on the enemies used to kill me a lot
remembering sonic and knuckles the first act was normal but the rest,,, it was so well balanced you had bits where you were running like a crazy mofo through spins and all kinds of stuff,
and then you had to stop cuz there was an obstacle continued by various enemies that shoot all sorts of stuff,, and i am really not a bad gamer or anything but they killed me a lotta times when i played it for the first time.. now of course they just do damage obviously after repeating lotta times.
the ring factor did ad on the difficulty
and difficult games are fun
easy games SUCKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Xeternalstar: wagwawwhhwahwahwahwahawhwahwahwhahwhwa!!!!
@juaouad:
In the 2d games, you get hit often… in 3d Sonic games… it’s usually easy to run AROUND the enemies…
Anyway, let’s just wait and see when the game releases. If anything, the werewolf parts should be difficult… like how “Mad Space” made Sonic Adventure 2 difficult.
3d Sonic games tend to not have the same challenges… like getting squashed, hit, or water hazards. It may be difficult to implement those things in 3d… making it seem a bit easy in some ways… without the pits.
A complicated ring system may make up for that.
@juaouad: Agreed. I do dislike the lowered difficulty level of practically all the newer games (homing attacks, robots that just STAND AROUND, lack of traps, etc).
I just don’t think the ring thing plays as MUCH of a factor as it’s being made out to be. Granted, it DID occasionally present problems and thus added to the difficulty, but for the most part, rings were so plentiful, and losing them ALL happened so rarely that I wouldn’t consider it a factor that made the games incredibly difficult – again, except in those no-ring boss stages.
Considering that rings grant you speed and abilities in this game, I think it would lose a lot of play value if every minor hit caused you to lose all of that progress. A way to compensate for only losing a portion of your rings might be to create enemies that could hit multiple times, or cunning placement of enemies that required reflexes and timing to get past….
But judging from the trailer, it seems as though enemies will not be made out to be the primary threat for Sonic (that boost ability is hax, lol), which I think is a shame. Still, there are other, equally fun ways to add to difficulty, like jump timing and whatnot.
Let’s just hope they give us a nice challenging mixture
(What might also be cool is more difficulty settings, though that’s not very common in Sonic games)
jupp well see
there was a question about the difficulty in the gamespot demo above. he answered that it would start easy and eventually get harder and harder and it would challenge all ages
hope hes right
I think the real question on everybody’s mind is: Can it challenge the physically, mentally, or otherwise challenged?
lol (sorry, that’s awful) XD
I’m beginning to like Weresonic a lot more now. The one thing I would like to know if the Wii version will be able to connect to the DS with Chronicles.
And some Wii footage would also be nice.
@juaouad:
Oh come on, you’ve obviously played many Sonic games. if the Sonic levels themselves don’t challenge you, the alternatives will. Think about it… people had trouble “finding” levels in Sonic Adventure.
In Sonic Adventure 2, the mandatory treasure hunting levels… bothered people… atleast 30 minutes of random wandering. Sonic 06… the load time made a simple task like “finding the captain” long and difficult.
Obviously, the WEREHOG is there for difficulty. Instead of forcing you to treasure hunt or shoot, you are playing as a werehog. This is the basic formula for most 3d Sonic games. Remove the treasure hunting, and Sonic Adventure 2 is a very easy game.
Treasure hunting was easy too… just REALLY boring. Thank God that’s over XD
Lets hope there is not so long loading times.
Werehog’s gameplay remainds me Sonic Next Gen gameplay, but it’s more better.
lol @ people always nagging on something, it’s like people want this game to be bad.
Especially since it’s arguing over losing all rings.
*lol*
It looks awesome to me :3 Even the werehog parts look interesting and the controls seemed to be pretty good, too.
@ pirpuu agreed
that was the first stage of sonic unleashed
I see! So that’s how it works! Works good enough!
I would like a vitality system the most.
It is used already in this game,but I mean something else.
Here is what I thought up:
How more rings you have,the less damage you take,and you lose some rings.Rings heal you,and you heal automatically,but even faster with more rings.
However,it depends on what hit you.
Hitting a regular robot isn’t really an ,but a laser instantly kills you on lower rings counts.
You also lose more rings after a strong hit,and some rings just are destroyed,only a few shatter.
Just an example how the ring system could work in a more subtle way.
@KuroBit: You could go backwards in Sonic and the Secret rings, it was just really awkward. Also, you couldn’t see where you were going, so there was often the chance, that whilst going backward you’d run into something, like water, or an enemy you’d misssed, causing you to get hurt/die.
—————————————————————————
I do like how the game is coming along, but I just hope that some of the other characters don’t invade too much. Other than that, I like how the Were-hog gameplay works.
Sega said it’s 99% Sonic…I really doubt other characters will be anything more than optional characters or short segment minigames.
Since when have any of the 2D Sonic games been difficult? I mean, they were hard because I was a kid back then and not very good at games. But when I played again recently…I find Crazy Gadget and Final Rush harder than Scrap Brain Zone. But that’s me. Bottomless pits are….what kills me.
I’m fine with the games as they are, I was just brainstorming anyway. Maybe some enemies should bring back automatic death, like getting crushed used to do?
I generally agree with Chaotic Fox here, so I won’t reiterate. Back to the game…we got the locations. If it’s 9 worlds, so far we know:
-Greece
-New York
-China
-Africa
What about other locations? It seems likely we’ll get something based on other regions on the planet. Maybe an artic level set in either of the poles? And I also except a space level.
Do you’ll think they’ll try to include a level from the seven world continents? I’d much rather have them not include Austrailian or South American levels, and get second levels from North America and Asia (Las Vegas and …Tokyo?)
the actual game will probably be a lot harder than the demo like it was in sonic 06
@Izzy: Oh… well the game still has Sonic Adventure style movement
…
Also, anyone notice that sonic games somewhat started to go downhill right around when Mario stopped being Sonics rival? (And I mean Sega and Nintendo being rivals)
kurobit
i agree
my friend said he didn’t exactly like the way the werehog looked in the first pic. of him but when he gets back and sees this he’ll change his mind.
So that covers up a few misunderstandings. Sounds exciting. It might even become as great as Sonic Rush Adventure.
like in sonic adventure they were going to add a hub or as i call it a world map…
too bad they didnt show that
I can’t wait to play Sonic Unleashed!
I am so excited!
The gameplay does look a lot like sonic adventure…
I just really hope Chaos will come back, as well as Crush40 doing the music = ( i really liked them in the sonic adventure series (live and learn was sonic’s theme in brawl, so theres a good chance)
But as people stated before, I want to see that hub world! Nintendo Power interview said that there was a free hub world that you can run around and talk to people… I want to see this!
Also, any word on multiplayer?
what are you ,10 ,if you would have played the old games youll see he always loses all his rings when hit@juaouad:
@william: too much 3d, sega again has failed
@william:
So 50% 2D and 50% 3D isn’t good enough for you? The attempt to make BOTH of those aspects of Sonic work together too weird for ya?
Despite all that we’ve been shown up to this point, you’re chalking it up as another failure before you and everybody else gets the change to play it?
You should be fail for jumping to conclusions. >:U
So far, CampSonic is the friendliest Sonic community…. probably the only decent one. However the angry people are starting to arrive.
@dog@bird.net: I don’t usually tolerate ****. If someone get’s too out of line, there won’t be warning, just a ban.
@David Leggett: that’s why i like this site the person in charge doesnt let people run their mouths like crazy it’s just too the point and if u dont have anything good to say and ur personality is rotted with swears and disrespect… well u wont be here very long..
whoa this looks really amazing and fun to play i cant wait till i get my hands on this!
@iNAUDiBLE: you tell em iNAUDiBLE!
-Greece
-New York
-China
-Africa
And High europe
SonicTeam talks about a snowboard stage i think @_@
@David Leggett:
Did you ban people yet?
Anyway,I like the casual feeling here,and that you can say whatever you want unless you become offending to people.
@william:
and william..
The 3d is used when it offers the best gameplay.
The loops will just be 2d again.
And the ring system is a bit outdated sometimes,sonic has become more complex last years,so just losing all rings is to simple.
You are pehaps worried about the wherehog,and to be honest,I am worried as well.But it is still in delevopment.Don’t go jumping to conclusions early. @william:
STOP MOVING YOUR HANDS SEGA GUY WEEEE GET IT!!!!!!!!! The game looks freakin awsome like a KH game with the heartess!!!! COOL!!!! the guy sucks i could beat that level easy!!!! I LOVE IT, now amy and werehog has to shown….. I WANT TO SEE IT!!!!!! NOWWWW!!!
Another reason I am buying this game is the story/cutscenes. I have a strange addiction with cutscenes. In fact, I’m going to watch some from SR:ZG right now…
I WAS WRONG. I GUESS HE STILL LOVES RINGS AS THE WOLF
@ Chaos Blast..
I love cutscenes and that plus the gameplay is making me get this game, i mean i know sega by cool cutscenes of the game, and i can’t live with a game that doesn’t have voice cutscenes not subtitles, thats why i want this game to see how jason gonna make himself look stupid this time!!!!
@ unleash the beast…
I understand what your saying about the ring….. why did he do that i think he was really pissed!!!! I hope he trys to attack his friends without knowing what he was doing, cause that be sooooooooo freakin awsome!!!!! IT’S THE HULK, RUNN FOR YOUR LIFE AND THEN a boss battle with TAILS,SHADOW,KNUCKLES,AND AMY!!!!! SWEET!!!! BUT THEY DON’T KNOW ITS SONIC!!!!! I LOVE YOU SEGA!!!
When Weresonic walks slow, he looks like those strongest-man-in-the-world type of things XD
Weresonic is BADASS.
@KuroBit: u can move backwords
I watch this video 3 times an hour.
okay. personally i think sega could improvie this game alot by takeing out some things and puting in some things
mostly for sonic gameplay
1.return the old ring syestem
2.add a co-op mode but improved unlike sonic06 splitscreen and xboxlive and actually add a story
3.make other playable characters. (such as tails knuckles shadow amy rouge and maybe team chaotix (i thought they were kickass )and im a fan of sliver so sliver but this is only my opinion
4.make sonics levels longer (because of speed) and have more enemys (it looks like you can just hold forward)
for werehog gameplay
1.add a few more combos
(thats it i dont have many i thought he was badass)
This is the coolest gameplay of Sonic the Werehog ever!:D
They need to ask if the game is going to be jacked up like sonic and the secret rings for wii. That game was so dumb, he ran by himself on a set path for him and all you do is tilt the wii remote left and right to make him move left and right, and to make him do a homing attack you had to shake the wii remote,and to make him walk backwards you had to tilt the wii remote backwards, he never turned around. All of that sucked.
@whapaaaaaaa: I heard SatBK is gunna be EXACT SAME THING
but dats just a rumor.
a dirty, dirty rumor lol
I know there’s no ” hedgehog energine” on Wii, but do you still got some feeling like ” WOW i’m goin fast!” ??
WOW! the wii version is gonna suck! i have a wii and not a ps3 or xbox…. wow im pissed, the wii version is being made by a different team!!!!! what the hell sega? you better be communicating alot cause what if the levels turn out to be WAY!! different.
is there mutiplay on psp & ps2
is shadow,tails,and knuckels in here

cill dude tell mom to get ps2 so you dont have to get pissd *******
This is the ultimate game!!!!!!!
Da Best
Wait a minute, the night-time music doesn’t sound completely fitting. Normally, when people play night-time stages, they hear intense music like the music you would hear in Resident Evil, killer7 and Trauma Center.
I know! I think another music composer from another company should be hired! Someone like Masafumi Takada (killer7 & No More Heroes), Tetsuya Shibata (Devil May Cry 3 & 4) or even better, the great Harry Gregson-Williams (Shrek, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater). That would be swell! Fancy hearing Shawn McPerson singing one of Sonic the Werehog’s theme???
i really really want this game but its taking so long 2 come out 24 days left!!! I cant w8 that long i want the game now!
