Sonic Unleashed, Will this be the game to bring Sonic back? Options

[HarvestMoonGuard...]

Like I said, this argument is over. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/jack_mad.gif)

[Tolby]

Like I said, you're wrong and you just can't seem to admit it.

[HarvestMoonGuard...]

Oy, that's all you wanted me to say this whole time? Fine, I'm wrong okay? If I knew that's all you wanted to hear I would have said it in the first place.

[Tolby]

DIdnt want to hear that actually. I wanted you to realize how wrong you are.

[HarvestMoonGuard...]

Well, I realize it. But tell me, honestly, what makes you so sensitive about shadow? Is he like, you're favorite or something? Not that I'm trying to start something else, I'm just a little curious is all.

[Tolby]

Nope, not one bit. Its not the attack on Shadow, its the retardocity of people using sterotypes combined with the retardocity of people using sterotypes wrongly.

[HarvestMoonGuard...]

Oh. Well, all the same, I still apologize for the argument over the matter. So, forgive and forget then eh? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/jack_wink.gif)

I'm happy that they only have sonic, tails and knuckles in it. I wish they could make characters like they did in Sonic DX (I only think 2 of the characters were new though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) ). I enjoyed playing as the robot guy and how there were 6 different storylines that all tied in together. By the way, did they bring that robot guy back? I hope they didn't, because I think that he also had a pretty honorable death.

Nah, ol' gammas gone for good.

[Dr. J]

They did something right :D... or may he just didn't have enough fans (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) .

Umm...I think there's another trailer for the European level. I'll look for it.
Anyway, I think this game could very well return Sonic to his former glory. They're using their very own engine called the "Sonic Engine" to develop the game. Oh, and the Sonic Engine...its been in development for 3 years!!! It distorts graphics to make it look like you're going faster than you actually are so you get the speed feel without the suicide feel.
Besides, if you look at the gameplay, you'll notice that it's basically the 80's gameplay wrapped up in the 00's graphics. It's the same 2-D gameplay that we've all come to know and love. It's a sidescroller and we all know that Sonic was meant to be played as a sidescroller.

On a sidenote: I personally, loved Sonic Adventure Two Battle. It's my favorite Sonic game to date. Although, I probably loved it because of the kawaii Chao. J'adore, j'adore, j'adore les Chao!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

[Tolby]

Does it annoy anyone else when people talk about Sonic Adventure 2 and always add battle? Even if thats the one you played I think the original deserves the credit, not to newer version with a worse Chao garden and minor multiplayer.

[Darth-Paper-Boy]

80's

Sonic the Hedgehog first appeared in 1991. As for the rest of your post, it's awesome that they (apparently) put some actual work into the engine. Unless that 3 years is mostly coffee runs. I wonder if it can make me feel like I was moving as fast as I did in Sonic 2 when I ran through most of a stage without the camera capable of keeping up. God I love Sonic 2.

And yes, Tolby. It annoys me too. What annoys me more is when I do it myself without a thought. I played the demo so many times when I got it with Phantasy Star Online.

[Celia]

Cool. I'm guessing they won't have chao land, though.

edit: Why am I always slow recently? Gah. I blame Shuckle.

Only cowareds use Pokemon as an excuse. (Gah, I misspelled 'coward'. Pidgeot stepped on my keyboard.)
I shouldn't have viewed that picture at night, too. :P

[HarvestMoonGuard...]

To Dr.J - Good one! Ha ha.

To KawaiiSUSHI - I hope it does my friend, I hope it does. And if you do find another trailer, can you PM it's adress to me so I could post it in with the other trailers? Thanks!

To Tolby - I actually think both versions of sonic adventure 2 were good. What one lacked, the other version made up for.

To Darth - I think this NEW engine might be the one to finally make a next-gen sonic game truly interesting. We shall see. They used a small part/demo of the machine in sonic on the 360 and ps3, just to test it out. And it worked!

To Celia - I really couldn't tell you for sure. It's a strong possibility that the chao garden will show up in sonic unleashed, but I'm not completely sure. The chao garden WILL return, however, in Sonic Chronicles for the NDS comming out this winter. So yeah, the chao will return, just not in the wii sonic game....Probably anyways....Not sure....

[Antoncat]

So then tails is in this for sure? Cos I heard somewhere in the new games they were just sticking to sonic, and then maybe having multiplayer minigames with the other characters or something.

I've tried to follow the sonic series, but its kinda just been dissapointing. I still play them when I can for the experience though. I disagree that sonic adventures were the last great games, like Tolby said, rush were good games, and also am I the only one who liked Sonic battle? It was different, but it had a good story and reminded me a lot of sonic adventures.

I never got a chance to play that new one, with that new hedgehog, but it looked cool.

[Darth-Paper-Boy]

In the hubub of the Nintendo conference, this may have been looked over.

[Tolby]

I didn't say they both weren't good. I'm saying give credit to the original, not the remake/port. Not unless it was way better than the original

[Saffy]

That commercial is odd. I didn't even know it was a Sonic commercial until the very end.

[Tolby]

Yea, kind of sucked. If it wasn't posted in this topic I would have thought it was a new Sci-Fi series like Ghost Hunters or something.
