Dimps making Sonic Unleased for Wii

It seams that Team Sonic isn't making Sonic Unleashed for the Wii, instead DIMPS (creators of Sonic Rush) will make the Wii release. Dimps will not use the "Hedgehog Engine" and the Wii version will have more 2d gameplay!

I think this will be a great game! Anythoughts?

link because this is terrible newsCyber-

I second that, but I'll go insane if someone links the articles again. It's legit. However it was not stated there would be more 2D gameplay. I'll give you the highlight:

-Dimps in designing the levels for the Wii version, this will not affect the overall story or modes so don't panic

-Confirmed, No Silver in this game

-Adventure fields are returning

-Not on rails like SSR was

-Tails, Knuckles, Amy and Shadow will be in the game at minimum of Cameo Appearances. Their roles have not been told or whether or not they'll be playable but they're there so far.

thnx

but this still seems like bad news. It was first said that the wii version was the main version If there is anything missing its gonna be so lame because there is no excuse.

do you at least know the website of which this was reported?

Considering Sonic Team have made a mockery of the Sonic games for a while now, I don't have any problems with the Sonic Rush team making this game, it will end up the better version guaranteed.com2006

No its not...

For once we need a multiplat game that does not try and do everything they can differently from the 360 and pS3 version. they were first touting that this game was speciffically developed for Wii.

If all they are gonna do is give up and make a 2d game then theres no point in making more sonic games. There are awsome 2d games out there that have out done sonic.

I read this in Nintendo Power --- For what it's worth it's in wikipedia and it says that it's more 2.

they can do that...OOORRRRRR we can get a GOOD sonic game for once.

Let's not forget that while Xbox 360 got Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), Dimps gave us Sonic Rush Adventure. Platinum_Pikmin

I enjoyed S'06 more than Rush Adventure. Although S'06 was a glitchy mess it was more fun then Rush Adventure.

i was under the imprssion that SEGA said that there would be no sonic titles on 360 and ps3 after STH and that it sold poorly.but the y said the wii version sold okay and that it would focus there.when they say more 2d game play is that specific to the wii version

also when did this article come out? was it on a different channel? also can someone post a link to the article so i can read it myself

now i'm pissed.

I was really looking forward to getting this game on the wii seeing as the wii version is supposedly the main the version. now come to find out the wii version is being made by Dimps and not using the new hedgehog engine and that its gonna be more 2.5d than 3d. forget that. i was skeptical about juggling both 2.5d/3d but to have more 2.5d is just ridiculous. that mess belongs on wiiware.

guess imma end up getting this for another console then.

There are awsome 2d games out there that have out done sonic.

So, by that logic, because there are awesome 3D Mario games out there that have out done Mario, does that mean that they should stop making 3D Mario games?

No Im not talking about that type of game not all of 2d. Its like the Laura Croft games, they were cool until Prince of Persia came out.

Sonic games are cool as a 2d side scroller esp on the DS or on VC/Wiiware but as a console game they should be striving for 3d. I cant stand it when I hear people say they should just make all the Sonic games in 2d "because it cant be done in 3d." Thats wrong, the Sonic Team cant do it in 3d and its part of the gaming decline in Japan. Sonic can be in 3d it just needs a suitable developer to do it and if Wii just has side scrolling elements or mostly side scrolling while the other versions strive 3d that will be lame.

I had more fun playing 2D sonic games than I did the 3D games. I'm not saying that Sonic can't be made in 3d because he can, but it seem like Sonic Team isn't trying hard enough to make a good game. There is a new sonic game every year, if Sonic Team took thier time a made a decent 3D that would be great.

However I think that the Sonic franchise needs to move into a 2D-3D based game, similar to how Super Paper Mario was. I maybe wrong on this, but what does SEGA have to lose in trying this?

You had more fun with Sonic in 2d because they did it wrong in 3d

Why are people defending the Sonic Team again? Dimps is clearly the better publisher for the game.-Wheels-

They are. Sonic Team has proven time and time again that they can't do Sonic in 3D. I don't understand why people keep defending them. They suck.

That's right Team Sonic doesn't make a good 3D game, but if they took the time they might. DIMPS can make a great handheld game (Sonic Rush), so I want to see what they can do for the console Sonic game.

My point is if this is a just a 2d game than its gonna be dissappointing

esp if the other versions have more 3d sequences

I don't even see why SEGA keeps Sonic Team around anymore, considering their track record... :?

Dimps making Sonic Unleashed is the best thing that could have happened to the game, I feel sorry for anyone getting the 360/PS3 versions.

This is not logical what you guys are saying

Just because the Sega Team CANT do it does not mean it cant be done.

Merely settling for less or the safe route is not my idea of sonic making a "comeback"

How do you know we are settling for less?Who knows which version will be better?Just because its on the Ps3/360 or because its 3D doesnt mean its automatically better...From the past records- Sonic the Hedgehog 360/Ps3(4.6) Sonic SoR Wii (7.6)...All i'm saying is Sonic team has not made a good sonic 3D game and their last effort on 360/PS3 was abyssmal...As a result this news of them not making the Wii version doesnt bother me..

How? If Sonic works best with a 2d gameplay then shouldnt he stick that way? For instance, look at Megaman. When they were in 2d, his games were great. But when they made a Megaman in 3D (Megaman64) it wasnt as great as the other Megaman games. So they decided to keep Megaman in 2D gameplay because it worked. Castlevania also had a horrible 3D game, that is why they keep Castlevania in 2D now.

Bad development is what Sonic Team does. A good game is a good game, whether its 3D or 2D (or both in the case of Sonic Unleashed). It doesn't matter if Sonic is in 3D is the game is a piece of crap, as long as the game is a great Sonic game (Which Dimps can make) then people are happy.

Ok, alot of you guys are just being idiots, the game hasnt came out yet!! Do you even see any videos or images for the Wii version? NO! All you've seen is possibly a paragraph or so, what can 1 paragraph prove? Not much really. And i agree with

"It's not about settling for less. It's about having a development team that doesn't screw up every game they work on", Sonic Team has not made a good game since SA, and SatSR was probally their best effort, but it still wasnt great. Now look at Dimps, DBZ Budokai 3, briliant game, much better then their first attempts, Dimps learns from their mistakes, it dosnt just improve graphics and keep mistakes in there, and then look at Sonic Rush, far superior to any Recent Sonic Team title, when i heard of Sonic Riders 2, i was not excited, not even anticipating anything, but when i heard of Sonic Rush Adventure, i was actually looking forward to a Sonic game. This is not saying that this version will automatically be best, but if i had to make a bet, Dimps would probally try harder. (plus Dimps has actually created games that have decent characters and not many lame new ones, yes you can point on cream but she was originally gonna be introduced in SH) . Just wait for some Wii screens before concluding anything

sorry but 2.5d isnt going to catch my interest. if i want to play 2d sonic i'll go back and pull out my sega genesis. i want sonic in a 3d enviroment. since the ps3/360 version will be more focused on the 3d and some 2.5d thats what i want. its my preference and i dont want to feel robbed by paying for a 2.5d game. i'm being a realist and a consumer who knows what he wants.

No offense, but if you feel that way you'd probably be better off with a 360 or PS3 if you just want the run of the mill suckage that is Sonic in pure 3D, excluding Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 of course.

OK, time to clear some things up. . .

They DID NOT say this version was just going to be 2D, they said it was going to have more focus on the 2D aspects of the game. (from what I have heard the PS3/360 one is half and half where as this one has "more focus" on the 2.5D)

And I say that this is a GOOD thing! THIS is what I want. . . for people to not try to shoe horn a port of a PS3/360 game and masively fail because of it. The Wii version is supposely soo different that fans will have reason to get one for the 360 and one for the Wii according to sega so that, to me, sounds pretty good seeing how crappy Sonic team is (I think they changed the members from the last 3D one but Im not sure).

The Sonic Rush titles are highly regarded as the few really good Sonic games lately so I have no reason to be against DIMPs doing the Wii game. I mean at the end of the day which would you want. . .to keep giving Sonic Team the chance to stump on the Sonic name or for the out-sourced devs they hired before who did 2 really good Sonic games to make a Wii Sonic?

Dimps has actually gaven me hope for this title. . .

but dont you think its been proven time and again that sonic just doesnt work in 3d? that sort of speed/platforming combination won't work well in 3d. its cool you know what you want, and i respect that, but i think it will be more realistic to realize that Sonic Team cant make good sonic games (ironic, aint it?) so its better to let someone who actually has given Sonic some dignity. You cant make sonic what he's not. and lets face it, he's not a 3d type of guy.
