Apparently, this was a bigger deal than I thought it was - cause my inbox is bulging from the seems right now. Can’t a man ever get any rest around here?
I’m joking of course, I couldn’t handle this job without so many alert viewers here. Works been pretty insane lately, and I’m also busy looking at houses right now (my box in the alley just isn’t as roomy as it once seemed), so this update’s coming a bit late.
STORM! over at the Sega Nerds Forum posted some new Sonic Unleashed Wii Screenshots and Manga (revealing what many are already speculating to be a new character) which have got folks all worked up. If you want my opinion, it’s not much - and all this attention is unwarranted - but hey, that’s just my take. I’ll be much more thrilled when I see some actual comparitive shots between the Wii platform, Xbox 360, and Playstation 3.

I think that the Wii and PS2 version is the same as Xbox360 and PS3 version only Hedgehog Engine is missing, worth grafic and shadows. Sonic and Weresonic looks same as on Xbox 360 and PS3.
The new character’s name is Chip (chippu). The guy in the apron is called Ice (aisu).
And Sonic yells: “I GOT IT!” Then something along the lines of: “There’s too much to do!” or “There’s a whole world to explore!”, although I think the first one’s closer to his expression in the frame.
Wow! Lots of posts! Anyway, I can’t get alot from scans, they come out kinda fuzzy, I like to read from scans, but screenshots always come out bad. I think the Manga is a hoax, I don’t know why they would wright a Manga about a game that might not even be sucessfull. I mean I’ll buy it, but it’s the non-diehard Sonic fans I’m worried about. Someone awhile ago said something about Sonic just having a circle for a shadow in the Wii version. They’ll change it in the final version becouse Sonic had a realistic shadow in Sonic and the Secret Rings. I’m not to worried about the graphics, they’ll come out great! You’ll be surprised!
I knew about this already ..
i am worried much n
the shade of the characters
it seems they didnt developed much the shade it is tjust a circle
Could there be some translations? Is that’s too much to ask.
People should stop obsessing over the first comment/reply/whatever. It’s not that important.
Hmph
That dog thing looks a little weird and if the werehog isnt going to be a worry point (though to me it looks excellent, I’m talking about the ever frustrating critics) then this fairy-mutt will be.
Just having a panic attack…
time will tell
no-one answered, is this new red dog thing a confirmed character I cant seem to find solid evidence
Uh, first comment here, what should I say…
The game really does look and sound good. Of course, as the “cycle” message near the top implied, we won’t ever REALLY know how this game handles and appeals until we actually get our hands on it. But it’s a good thing that the developers are saying that they’re aware of the mistakes in the past. It gives us ground for some hope.
But yeah, I’d agree that some comparative shots would be nice. I’ll end up getting the PS2 version.

@Dylan: WDF OKAY! lol
I hope the wii version is as good as the 360 version looks!
ITS KOOL MAN.
Yeah, that magazine was released in July, it just took me awhile to get my copy of it. I live in America and it’s a UK magazine. =) Anyways, those aren’t PS2 screens (mostly Xbox 360/PS3), I am just a bit late on posting scans of that magazine. I there weren’t many scans of it online, so better late then never.
@Sonication: ok………………………

But look at it anyway.
Alright everyone! Get ready to hype!

@sonic3master: I know a complete douchebag named Shadiwulf who bashes them and says they don’t look good because the pictures with them are blurry?
He is an elite Wii hater. He is also Shadi the Catboy on SegaNerds.
He’s an idiot. Don’t take him seriously.
