It looks good, sonic got his speed back. The game reminds me of sonic rush adventure, even though thats on the ds, and is 2d, and this is 3d. The speed, and the platforming seems very similar. Fast paced, and exciting.

It looks great and really fast! I just hope that it turns out good. Isn't this game suppose to have Sonic as a werewolf too, if so does anyone know how the werewolf Sonic gameplay would be like?

lots of hate for sunshine, although I loved it, and not to mention the countless horrid mario sports games... it had been like 10 years since a real mario game..

That was pretty damn impressive... looks like Little Big Planet on crack.

As long as you can slow down and find alternate/secret rooms and whatnot like the originals.. I think I'll pick this one up.

Because the motion controls are supposed to be very good. Sonic Team Japan and Dimps are collaborating on the Wii version, and they said that the game will be a showcase of the games control and graphical capabilities.

Sonic Adventure 2 was better, and besides, the developer of the Sonic Advance and Sonic Rush series are making the Wii version of Sonic Unleashed, so if something goes horribly wrong with the HD versions, the Wii version is in the clear.

The old Sonic games are still fun on the 360 on XBL. I tried that 3D variant as a demo a few years ago & it gave me nausea. Not sure I care enough about Sonic to pay $60 for it though.

says who? the simplistic pick up and play nature of the wii and it's software says otherwise. little kids/family games like Viva Pinata sold around 1.5m million, so there is a market for it on the 360 as well.

In case you didnt watch the video, theres a pretty large X in the middle of the screen when it tells you to press it during the video. So atleast some of this footage is from the PS3 version.

Dimps is doing the day stages ONLY for the Wii version. Sonic Team Japan is doing the rest of the game.

I'm not sure I'm liking this. It's nice that they got the sense of speed back, but the game seems to play for you. There's no platforming, the game practically moves for you with all the bumpers, boosts, and grind rails, and you don't even have to attack enemies; you just run into them and the die. (on the rare occasion when there is an enemy, the stages look barren)

^yea, its nice and all but it does seem to play itself, but maybe the night time gamplay will offer a different playing style, like sonic adventure. speaking of sonic adventure, i hope they release that on psn and xbl cause that was a really good game.

yer has a good chance on Wii but to be honest you have no control over sonic if you look at the game, it's just press x so you dont fall of the rail ur on and move left or right, even when sonic was in the 2d side scroller era if I remember right you still felt like you had control of sonic when you were playing the game, this one just looks like you have no control about how fast sonic is going or anything, I know everyone really wants a good sonic game and all but cmon, the gameplay looks rubbish, ur on a rail just pressing jump and left and right and the correct moments.

[QUOTE="bigLLL"]most likely, but im not sure running and jumping really fast appeals to gamers much these days??? and why should it those games worked great back in the 16-bit era but cmon now games have gotten way more advanced than 2d side scrollers sadly there is just no need for sonic anymore he just doesnt work[QUOTE="dotWithShoes"]the 360/PS3 version will fail.

It looks pretty damn good. My problem with the other 3d sonic games is that they were an absolute train wreck with controls, it was too sensitive and not accurate enough. Going back to the side scroller roots as in this one looks to be a good revitalization for this game. a re-imaginated version of the old games but brought to 3d the way a sonc game was meant to.

As long as when the camera is behind sonic, the controls don't suck, i'll try it out. Looking at the video, you press the bumper buttons to shift left and right, instead of having full control over his movements, and i think that will keep the flow speedy.

shifting camera looks good too, sicne now you control only horizontal movements and jumps instead of front back left and right and jump movements.

It delivers a killer sense of speed,but echoing some of the statements from before,there doesn't seem to be much concerning actual gameplay and player input,except for a few brief instances.:?

No. Watch the video. You will need to jump and dodge many times, plus there are many secondary paths in the video.

I don't know what to think of it. Obviously, the graphics are very clean and smooth, so it's a great looking game, and Sonic actually seems to be going fast, which is a first for a 3D Sonic game. The gameplay seemed to too closely follow the "Hold Right to Win" design of the Sonic Rush titles. Sure, there were the occasional jumping sequences and those "Hit Shoulder Button to Dodge" things, but I'm hoping that as more information comes out, we'll start to see more challenging level designs like from the original 2D Sonics.

I'm digging the camera, though.

Looks sensational. Could use a little motion blur on the edges or something when you go really fast like down a rail. Picking this up though.

Lair, Haze, and Killzone looked good, too...

And this game doesn't really look good at all. It seems like it'll take the course of every 3D Sonic game and have you just push the analog stick forward and occasionally jump and do some other things. The video looks better than most Sonic games because he's going faster than he ever has, there's 2D segments, all the areas look more interesting, and the music fits the game quite nicely.

Yeah, I don't think this game will be much fun to play, honestly... In my opinion, of course.

I was really excited for this game at first, but now it's looking like it could go either way. As others have said, there seems to be very little player input involved, except for the occasional quicktime command (worst gaming trend of the last two gens). Hopefully there will be some actual interactivtiy, but just based on these early trailers it could very well end up being a glorified Dragon's Lair.
