oh boy oh boy! This is really starting to look promising!...

Spoiler

but haven't they all recently

Here's to sega finally seeming to get their act together *clink*

Oh My god....Is Sega doing it...Is Sega bringing Sonic back to the forefront of Gaming!

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Sure, the Sonic gameplay looks great, but I love how everyone looks over the fact that he turns into a frickin werewolf in this! That right there gentlemen will kill this game. The werewolf levels and storyline will be the death of what could have been a potential return to gaming glory for Sonic.

 

[JackBauer]

I don't get the excitement. Sure, it's nice to see some side scrolling. It'd be nicer if it didn't look like you go all the way through the level by inercia.

I mean, apart from that series of quicktime events (great, those again...), it doesn't look like he's controlling a damn thing. Sure, it's fun to watch, but like all other recent Sonic games, it looks like a drag to play.

I remember a time when Sonic games wasn't just you watching him haul ass all the way through the stage, and there was actually had some platforming in them.

And is it just me, or does that stage look like you're in Italy?! I mean, WHAT THE HELL is Sonic doing in friggin Italy?!

'kay, fanboy rant done!

Exactly what I thought watching that video. It's looks like a very pretty video, but Sega seems to be forgetting the game part of the equation.

 

[GL1]

I kinda like it.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Where did you hear that?

Sonic turning into a werewolf in this has been known since shortly after the game was announced. Something Robotnik does to him makes him turn into a werewolf.

 

[venom892]

I need screens or an interview from a reliable source before believing that

 

[JackBauer]

From gonintendo:

The gang over at Sonic Stadium say that the earlier leaked images of Sonic Unleashed are indeed real. They don’t really offer up any information as to how they confirmed these to be real, but that’s their story. So, from here on out, we will say that images are real, and so is the information below.

- Sonic becomes afflicted with a curse…that turns him into a werewolf. Sonic will have to battle himself, essentially.

- gameplay includes Sonic and the Secret Rings style running with switches to 2.5D platforming thrown in

- Sonic will transform at certain points in the game, and his new form will include some sort of new mechanic

- another new character will be introduced

- Sonic Unleashed is not the final name, and no platform(s) were mentioned. File names of the original leaked images indicate a multiplatform release of 360/PS3/Wii

Ugh... yeah, the excitement didn't last.

 

[Joker]

Yeah, casue all the gameplay we've seen of the Werewolf mechanic looks like crap!...I mean uh...oh yeah, we havent seen anything about it other than the screen shot. But who cares about logic and not judging things till we've even seen them in motion, we all need to hate new ideas! Like Mario in space, that was gay!

 

[venom892]

Uh Damn...Well it still might be good...I hope...****ing Sega.

 

[JackBauer]

Have we seen ANY gameplay at all? Cause that video up there they're trying to pass off as gameplay sure didn't look like it to me...

 

[Joker]

It looks like Sonic and the Secret Rings to me, but with a camera that changes.

 

[shadowdog]

Wow, that looks pretty cool. The pace of the game seems pretty intense.

 

[November Rain]

i could watch that all day...some really beautiful level layouts...

 

[DAMU RYDER]

game looks nice

Allow me to repeat myself:

got it?

 

[Milu]

In a franchise where a bunch of multicolored, humanoid animals must protect a bunch of powerful gems from a mad scientist, one of those animals turning into a werewolf, or werehog rather, isn't really that much of a stretch.

 

[RED_Rider]

Well, I'm a huge fan of Sonic but Sega has disappointed me more than once... or twice... so, I'll reserve my judgement for when I play this one. All of Sonic games after Genesis / Mega drive have been horrible with few somewhat decent exceptions like Sonic Adventure which was good only for its time though.
Nothing beats the original Sonic The Hedgehog on Genesis.

 

[Gyroguy]

Yo, I am new here.

Just thought I share another new Video from E3.

Check this out!

The two links have the same video. But feel free to choose and click one.

Also, here is an E3 coverage video of the game.

I posted my thoughts on this game in another Sonic thread...

Sonic Unleashed is ****ing tragic.

When that very first gameplay video came out, the one where it was almost nothing but side scrolling, I thought to myself; Has Sega done it? Have they finally taken their heads out of their collective ass? Are they going to give Sonic fans what they've wanted for nearly a decade?

*sigh*

I think Sega should just retire Sonic and quit ****ing him out until they can get their **** together.

I'll happily admit the "running" levels look fantastic, but the werewolf levels look slow and terribly boring.

The werewolf stuff starts at around 1:30 in this video.

Also, please excuse the ridiculous music in this trailer. You'll probably want to mute it.

Anyway, I think the real question is; How long do you get to play as Sonic and how long are you forced to play as Weresonic?
