Sonic: Unleashed

what game came after adventure 2: battle? that was the only sonic game i picked up and generally liked it. like to a 7.5 on 10 scale, but sadly, that's become the golden standard for sonic these days...
 
I hated Sonic Heroes. I agree that SA2B was the last enjoyable (I wont say good) 3D Sonic game I have played.
 
I absolutely abhor Sonic Heroes...it was a waste of $40. At least the opening theme song was pretty nice.

Agreeing with Firestorm. That had to be the worst song this side of "We Can". I think you're thinking of "What I'm Made Of". The only good vocal tracks in that game were that and "This Machine", and out of those two, only What I'm Made Of sounds even remotely similar.

The Team Chaotix theme was kinda cool too. :x
 
Actually I wouldn't mind a Sonic Adventure 3. Sonic Adventure 1 was pretty darn good and two was decent. All they need too do is throw out the lame ass characters (Big the Cat, Silver), focus on the tight ones (Shadow, Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, Amy actually wasn't terri-bad, but I don't think she should come back unless they improve her a lot).

Bring Knuckles back to being badass and improve on all the problems people had with 1 and 2 (Like the shitty camera angles and variety). Add pimpin story, remove werewolf sonic (who the hell thought of that?), and put a darker tone in and problem solved.


Though a 2D/3D sonic sounds alright, I lost faith in the series in 2001? If anyone is going to bring Sonic back, its going to be Bioware with the Sonic RPG. Bioware can't do it wrong, Sonic will be as badass as ever, just in rpg format!

Sonic Adventure 3 already came out: it was called Sonic '06, and everyone bar a few people (like myself) hated it. But Adventure fields, multiple characters with different playstyles, upgrade items, emphasis on plot...everything that made the Adventure games sans Chao were there. For all intents and purposes, '06 was pretty much SA3 with a different name.

Agreed about Sonic Chronicles, but sadly this topic isn't about that game...

More news'll be on the way when ONM releases their first Sonic Unleashed Wii playtest in this month's issue (April 11th, for those of you in the UK who are interested in picking it up), so I guess until then we just have to stick it out till then with what we've got.
 
having been a victim of sonic heroes, shadow the hedgehog and sonic the hedgehog for the gba, I am really not placing any hope in this game.

I mean, there was a time when i was really laid-back about sonic games, I even PAYED for shadow the hedgehog for fuck's sake


and i still haven't finished it.

because it has like 50 endings and im missing around 70.

and the controls suck.
 
Shadow the Hedgehog had 326 different possible route combinations (and 10 endings). I enjoyed it at first, but soon found my attention span drifting off to other games.
 
No EpiC, I'd say they have to REMOVE any and all story elements and NOT try to make him a badass. Shadow should also have stayed dead. He was cooler dead.

But But But guysssss the trailer looks good ;_;
Then again, so did Sonic 06's trailer. Then they released the second trailer with Silver, Shadow on a jeep, Shadow with guns, some friggin human princess, convoluted plot, grey skies.
 
sonic team trolling everyone again I see :(


hopefully this will be good, Secret Rings was amusing for a couple hours and Adventure 2 I enjoyed but other than that... werewolf sonic >_> seriously

You mean people actually tried to get all 326 route combinations? Hell, the 10 endings + final gimp ending and A ranks should've been enough for even the most obsessive gamer ._.

When I said make cooler, I was only talking about Knuckles, because he was the original badass and should be returned to badass status.

While I do agree that a good old barely important story reminiscent of the Genesis genre is in order, I would still like to see them make a 3D sonic game that doesn't blow and it is possible.


The problem with the stories are that they just don't fit the Sonic Universe. You said it yourself, convoluted plot, jeeps, guns, a HUMAN princess, and Silver. And the writing was sub-par.


They overdid it and under did the writing. Watch how good Bioware's Sonic RPG is going to be. They won't mess it up, we'll see how the story should really look.
 
I'm glad to see Sega trying resurrect whatever is left of Sonic at this point, but I'm very skeptical about this game. The game does look pretty amazing and could have a lot of potential, but something inside me is telling me this game will suck. I'm tired of Sega crushing my hopes and dreams with their shitty Sonic games (Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic 06'). The last real sonic console game I played was Sonic Adventure 2 for the GC and I really enjoyed that one. My hopes are very low for this game for one reason: Werewolf Sonic, wth is that? He looks like the hunchback of Notre Dame with spikes.
 
Am I the only person who thinks that SA2's Sonic and Shadow levels are the closest Sega have ever gotten to a proper 3D Sonic? I remember them actually being fun to play even if it had the "push forward to win" problem.
Also yes, Shadow belonged dead.

Okami, Twilight Princess and now this. Popular times for lycanthropy, it seems.
I've heard that the engine that they've produced for this handles swift 3D to 2D but I can see this as being more of a compromise than a feature.

Also, the Wii version is going to be another PS2 game upgraded. I'm quite sick of this trend.

Not cool guys...not cool.

Despite the awesome whistling of the Angel Island Zone bridge, I feel like my soul has been raped.
