Sonic Unleashed!

[Astrø]

​

The game follows Sonic the Hedgehog as he attempts to restore the world to normal after his nemesis, Doctor Eggman, splits the world's continents into pieces with a powerful new ray weapon and the power of the Chaos Emeralds, as well as his struggles with his new beast form generated by the corrupted Emeralds, Sonic the Werehog. Whilst incorporating Sonic's traditional platforming and trademark speed, the gameplay style for this game is notably different, focusing on 2D side-scrolling platform gameplay rendered with 3D visuals, as well as behind-the-back, third-person stages; gameplay seamlessly transitions between these two styles. Gameplay with Sonic the Werehog mainly consists on fully 3D hack and slash style of gameplay.

I have a feeling that this game is going to blow completely.

The whole Werehog thing is just ******ed.

Its plays like old Sonic so it sounds good to me.

The name sucks royally, and the "werehog" part sounds really stupid. But hopefully, going back to the oldschool gameplay formula will save this game, if not the franchise. As Bionic Commando Rearmed showed us, 2D gameplay isn't down and out just yet.

 

[Astrø]

I like the wearhog idea I'm hoping for the best. The Sonic franchise needs to come back.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Sonic should just die. Let's remember him as a good thing and not some coke head has-been.

Sonic is Brawl, Sonic Secret of the Rings, Sonic Advance, and Sonic Rush Adventure meant nothing to you?

No. Lost interest after Sonic Adventure.

Sonic Adventure 2 was the last Sonic game I played. Everything after that has been crap (except the Gameboy games which were supposedly quite good, though I have yet to play one).

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Sonic Adventure 2 was crap itself. It introduced Shadow who destroyed the franchise. Sonic Adventure was the last good Sonic game,

 

[Timstuff]

If Shadow had disappeared after Sonic Adventure 2, then I would have tolerated him. However, Sega kept shoving him in our faces over and feaking over again, to the point where I just wanted to kill him. He represents the epitome of everything that is wrong with the Sonic franchise. He is a completely worthless character, and I wish he had never existed. Maybe the Sonic franchise would still have some dignity left if Sega had said "You know, maybe a 'bad ass' Sonic doppleganger is a bad idea!"

For a while, I was afraid we'd never be able to escape that stupid character. Looks like in Sonic Unleashed they're finally moving away from him, but my worry is that he's going to be seen as a permanent part of Sonic's supporting cast from here on out. Sure, he's not in Sonic Unleashed, but that's because no-one is in Sonic Unleashed except for Sonic. When people start asking "When are Tails and Knuckles going to be back?" Sega might just say "Oh, people want us to bring back the furry brigade!" and then they throw in Shadow, too. EVERYONE HATES SHADOW EXCEPT FOR ******ED 12 YEAR OLD BOYS AND FURRY PORN AFICIONADOS! I never want to see him in a Sonic game again, EVER.

Poor Venom Jr. has to be the only Shadow fan on the Hype.

 

[WolfCypher]

I like Shadow, so bash away.

I HATE everyone else, though. Silver, Cream, maybe Blaze (I dunno, I'll flip a coin)

Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Robotnik (NOT EGGMAN), and Shadow. I'll take them, plz & tanx.

On-Topic: Sonic Unleashed? I'll pass, like I passed on every other recent Sonic game sans Sonic Advance.

 

[Timstuff]

Another gripe that I've had with recent sonic games:

On top of the fact that I preferred it when Dr. Eggman was the only human in the games, I just plain couldn't stand how in the last game they tried to make the humans look realistic, while Sonic and friends look cartoony. I mean WTF? There was no visual consistancy at al! If you absolutely have to have humans in a Sonic game (and you do not), then at least make them look cartoony enough that they SOMEWHAT match the way the furries look. It's always best when the worlds Sonic explores are uninhabited though, except for robots and the occasional animal. >,<

Also, why I've always liked Amy as a character, I think she kind of sucked as a playable. She should remain an NPC next time she shows up, because that's what she was when she was first introduced. The only playables I need are Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles-- the original "triple threat." All the other dumb furries can go into a paper shredder!

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Sonic
Tails.
Dr. Robotnik
Knuckles
Amy

That's the only ones that should stick around. They should reboot the series and just include these guys. No one else.

 

[Timstuff]

For reals. Sonic Unleashed seems like a pretty good start since Sonic and Robotnik are the only characters, but in the future they should avoid anyone outside of the 5 you just mentioned. Look at Sonic Riders for God's sake!

Thank You VENOM X! I hate Blaze but I'm 50/50 with Silver. I would have to see him in a better game.

Espio came at the same time as Amy and Mighty came before her and so did Fang the Sniper. Shadow is great but everyone hates Shadow because of that stupid game he was in. He was my favorite person to play in Sonic Advance 2 and Mario & Sonic Olympics.

The first Riders was fun and great, and Gltich FREE!!! The second one I can't say much for. Even I hate it.

no

 

[Astrø]

no

I'm just going to move on. I think the game has a weird theme song. I hate it realy. Hurts my ears to hear it.

 

[Timstuff]

I just found out that Shadow appears in this game as an NPC. While I may be able to forgive this if the game is good enough, it irks me and doesn't bode well. I find it blasphemous how Sega treats him as if he's as integral to the Sonic mythos as Tails, Amy, or Knluckles, even though he's only been around since Sonic Adventure 2 and every game he's appeared in since then has been a POS.

 

[Brainiac 8]

Unfortunately to Sega, he is the franchises Wario, and must be shoehorned into every game Sonic is in. He will always be used, and we have to deal with it. At least he is only a supporting character this time.

I do hope they make Tails more involved in Unleashed, because I do feel he complements Sonic's personality well.

 

[StrainedEyes]

The night levels of this game look really boring. Sonic should not be a beat-em-up.
