Courtesy of Sega and its Gamer's Day, we have a set of new screenshots for you. Say what you will about the Weresonic idea and Sonic Team's track record, there's no denying that this title looks bloody beautiful, at the very least. Of course, most Sega games have the looks, but it's the gameplay that matters and here is where Sonic Team consistently trips up. I am not yet prepared to totally write it off, but Sonic Unleashed follows a long string of console disappointments, so it remains to be seen whether Sonic Team can cut the mustard on modern home platforms. We shall see.

IGN got to preview an early build of the game, and while they didn't get to play, they gave really good impressions of it. However, they didn't see any of the werewolf bullshit, so we'll see how THAT goes...
I am definitely diggin the screens of this game. Im very interested to see what they do with the werewolf. I just hope it fixes or avoids the control problems with the Secret Rings.
I looks really pretty, I just hope it plays as well
SEVEN RINGS IN HAAAAAAAAAAND
I still fear for this game. A lot.
I'm actually a little excited for this game......strange... toot toot Sonic warrior!
Dang those screens look amazing. Do want, surprisingly!
Take out the werewolf crap, and Im there
yeah, boo werewolf...but YAY SONIC!!!
These are fucking beautiful. Let us have a little faith. I'm giving them one last shot before I go to Japan and smack Yuji Naka myself. When he introduced the music at Video Games Live, I wanted to throw a drink at the screen. Fucking guy fails so hard these days.
I'm really excited for this game. These screens only have me awaiting good things.
I can't express how hard I'm praying for this game. If you look at Sonic Adventure (the first one, on the DC), we haven't had a Sonic game worth writing home about (at least favorable news) for almost ten years. If it sucks, I'm cutting Sega off. It'll hurt, but I can't do this anymore - it has to be a return to form in many, many ways. And if it turns out to be just that, then color me the happiest kid in the world.
No Sonic Unleashed.
You will not excite me. It's happened in the past and only led to disappointment and tears.
This is absolutly the wrong direction for the series: Nostalgia is going to KILL Sonic the Hedgehog.
I actually wrote a blog post where I try to articulate what's wrong with the franchise. Check it out
DROLL: Give them one more chance. Honestly, if the game captures the same feeling that the originals did, then it's fine by me. I just want working and functional game mechanics. Intuitive gameplay that's fun.
That's just the problem. I don't want to see Sonic try and "recapture" the magic of the old games. I want to see them use nearly 20 years of 3-D game design/development, and put Sonic in a game where he can legitimatly compete with the biggest and baddest games being released.
This easily looks like it could be released over XBLA, or the Playstation Store. I don't want to see Sonic trapped by nostalgic fans!
It may look lovely, however that's exactly one of the big reasons sega's tripping up, why the fuck is it so realistic?
We're dealing with a bright blue hedgehog that runs at the speed of line, not max payne, chill the fuck out Sega jesus christ.
I dream of the day when Sonic is silly again.
Ewww.... those textures are icky.
DIEINWIND, I hope you DIE IN A FIRE :p
on topic:
I'm pretty fired up about this game, I've loved sonic in the beginning, was dissapointed by its first steps into 3D, and kept being dissapointed, yet I look forward to any Sonic game, as you can never know... one day they might find the way to do it right :-D
Come on Sonic Team, don't f**k this shit up....
Certainly looks pretty...
Well I looks like it'll be awsome but so did Sonic 2006.
Never the less I'll still be patient and wait for the actual game to come out before I judge.
The screenshots fit my laptop's resolution perfectly.
It's a sign. 'The one' is coming.
Deiga is totally right. There is something a tad flat about those textures.
why is sonic invading cs_italy?
Time to give Sonic a rest, Sega. He's not going to reach the kind of status he once had, and there are more deserving IP in your catalogue than this.
Where's a new Panzer Dragoon, Shinobi, Otogi, ESWAT or even freaking Burning Rangers? Burning Rangers is for more deserving, than more Sonic.
Better yet, where's the new IP (beyond the Platinum Games collaborations and Golden Axe)? Pushing remakes on Wii is cool, but something more is needed.
@COWBOY TTOP: But Sonic still SELLS like fuckin' hotcakes to the Sonic fans/furries that buy the games no matter how shitty they are. No offense, but Sonic still probably sells better than Panzer Dragoon, Shinobi, Otogi, or Burning Ragers would, just on namesake alone. Why would Sega give one of their biggest IPs a rest if it's a source of income?
Anyway, this game looks pretty, but is it just me or do the environments look a bit too "3D Studio Max-ish"? They've got this weird white ambient light thing going on that bugs me.
I'm still cautiously optimistic for this, even with the Wurrwilf stuff. As long as it's FUN, unlike Sonic 2006, I'll be happy. But we'll see.
@COWBOY TTOP: valkyria chronicles is a new ip coming soon. im actually excited about it kuz not only does it look cool... but it was developed by SEGA, not some western developer.
@ETERNALDEATHSLAYER: yuji naka left sonic team, so he has nothing to do with this game.
*insert optimism here*
