Sonic Unleashed - Page 4

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-19-2008, 01:42 PM

I'm going to ride on the assumption that the only good parts of the game are in the trailer. The "real world" stuff is just getting old at this point. Too many times have I fallen into Sega's trap where a game looks good in trailer form, only to find out months later than the entire budget went into producing said trailer and the game itself is an unfinished, buggy piece of sh*t that was shotgunned out for Christmas.

*Brodie* · 06-19-2008, 01:43 PM

So says the guy who owns Sonic The Hedgehog360, and only ever plays that or Gears online....both are oh-so-good.

Peanut · 06-19-2008, 04:56 PM

I thought he was dead, to be honest.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-20-2008, 02:50 AM

No, not dead. Just work, life, and getting ready to go to E3 and play the game and truly discover whether or not it is a steaming pile of sh*t, or the revival everyone's been waiting for. Same goes for Banjo-Kazooie.

The reason Gears is the only game I play on XBL is because (1) I have a large group of friends I work with that love the game to death and we spend more time drinking and laughing at each other via XBL with Gears than with any other game ever, and (2) I buy all multiplatform games on PS3.

*Brodie* · 06-20-2008, 12:32 PM

Because youre dumb, and have a weird love for installations?

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-20-2008, 12:40 PM

Nope. Just would rather my hardware not die again in the middle of a game.

*Cure* · 07-15-2008, 06:29 PM

More goodness, but with crappy music this time.

poiuytre · 07-15-2008, 06:31 PM

Looks really good and nice sense of speed too. I agree with you on the crappy music part tho. Yuck.

*Ninjinister* · 07-15-2008, 06:56 PM

Please tell me that's not the game's theme song. Is it even Crush 40?

**Shredder** · 07-16-2008, 01:11 AM

I hope I'm not setting myself up for disappointment, but I think this looks seriously fun. It reminds me more of the Sonic Adventure games than the newer Sonic games. I can't wait to see/hear more about the actual gameplay.

And yeah, that song sucked.

A look at Sonic Unleased at E3:

*Voltron* · 08-03-2008, 04:18 PM

The were-hog? Lame.

I hate these stupid gimmick twists in video games. Can't I just get a straight Sonic story for once?

Also, this guy being interviewed is Commander of the Douche Brigade. Listen to him:

"It gives the character back to fans like me, who grew up to ruin the games because we got our game design degrees at Devry night classes."

Asshole.

. . . The game play does look nifty, though.

poiuytre · 11-02-2008, 12:45 PM

Bumping for the absolutely stunning intro.

Here's also an early stage in the game:

Gosh this looks so amazing. If it weren't for the few frankenhog parts, this game is the return to form Sonic fans have been waiting for the last couple of decades. It combines the best elements of the last games while still staying true to the series and puts it in a beautiful coat. I can't wait for this game.

I wish they would have kept the title Sonic World Adventure instead of Unleashed. It seems more fitting to me.

*Mecha Cow* · 11-02-2008, 12:50 PM

I honestly don't see how this is vastly different from other recent Sonic games, aside from the amazing production values. Sorry Sonic, I can't trust you anymore.

poiuytre · 11-02-2008, 01:07 PM

There will most likely be a demo released soon to win your heart over on the X360 and PS3.

**Shredder** · 11-24-2008, 01:40 AM

So...now that it's out, has anyone played it? What's the verdict?

**Barkworm** · 11-24-2008, 01:48 AM

Poiuytre thinks it's better than Mario Galaxy but I suggest you wait for a less fanboyish take on the game.

Peanut · 11-24-2008, 01:51 AM

lawl!

General consensus is that the "day time" Sonic levels are really fun, and the Hedgehog Engine is terrific, but, as predicted, the Werehog stuff drags the game down, and apparently, content wise, the Werehog stuff also takes up more of the game.

**Barkworm** · 11-24-2008, 02:06 AM

And seriously, better than Mario f*cking Galaxy? Seriously??? I can't get over this...

poiuytre · 11-24-2008, 09:02 AM

Hurray for opinions. I think it's the best game I've played in a long time. I just wish it had a little less Werehog and far less Chip. He's not cute or funny and needs to go. The more screentime he gets the more he starts to annoy.

The 360 version is a great game tho.
