Sega Gamer's Day '08: Brand new Sonic Unleashed screens

SEVEN RINGS IN HAAAAAAAAAAND

I'm actually a little excited for this game......strange... toot toot Sonic warrior!

Take out the werewolf crap, and Im there

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 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.

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

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!

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

Certainly looks pretty...

The screenshots fit my laptop's resolution perfectly.

It's a sign. 'The one' is coming.

why is sonic invading cs_italy?

@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.

*insert optimism here*
