Sonic Unleashed leaked gameplay video except not because that's illegal!!!

If we assume that the enemies just haven't been put into the mix yet, then I'm totally onboard. I don't feel as though Sonic has truly evolved for the better since his original inception. And in that case I totally agree with your previous article. Maybe it's time the old Sega Mascot goes back in time to his roots updated only with 3D on the 2.5D scale. What I'm missing from this video is enemies and multiple levels of terrain to jump between and effect the ride along the way. But it's a good start, should they also add the rest in (and, as you said, Robotnic at the end of each level).

I'm with sToOz, seems you just need to hold right and go as fast as shit.

Might be more fun to play then watch though, so i'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

also.

even the music shows potential.

as in, i actually like it. compared to the crap they've been putting in the games since Sonic Adventure

Why do Sonic game developers keep trying to make sonic games set in more realistic settings? It just doesnt work with sonic... They need to take a hint from Insomniac as far as how to do art direction right. Otherwise, it certainly looks like a step in the right direction.

I actually liked Sonic Rush on DS.

Either that, or it's just hopes and dreams not yet realized.

whoops!

anyway

this looks good. I've been pretty forgiving on the Sonic series, but I am happy about one thing. no god damn retarded rock music. platformers should not have rock soundtracks, the fast pace drum beat is a perfect fit for the game

This has soooooooo much potential. They better not fuck this up.

this has WIN written all over it

it's just too bad we are all being taken for a ride

and poor Jim is handcuffed to the rear bumped

Wait...that’s not 2.5D, is it? I mean, the camera is behind and in front of Sonic at points, just like in Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast. Either way, that does look promising...but I’ll wait to truly pass judgment until Sega confirms that they put this trailer together (or at least that the footage is gameplay).

Also, Maxsunset is right. If Sonic Unleashed looked like Ratchet & Clank Future, that would be another step in the right direction. But we’ll see. While I can’t say that I have faith in the Sonic Team, I’m still holding out hope.

I hope this is good, I keep coming to Sonic Team for some game lave, but then she just slaps me and tells me to start making dinner again. :(

My guess and I hope I'm right, is that the sonic team has gone back to basics. Gone is trying to make sonic a 3D free roaming adventure game with tons of characters and dialogue and all that crap. This game is setup like the original Sonic games. You have stages, like stage 1a, 1b stage 21, 2b etc. Each level has it's own look and soundtrack. It's own theme. Super sonic speed, kill enemies, collect coins. bonus stage and fight a final boss. All with a 3D style. I would really love that!!!

1) I liked Rush

2) These look promising

3) Please don't ruin this with levels of Tails in a robot suit.

So apparantly in the game Sonic turns into a werewolf. Any interest I had in this game is gone.

its rivals on the home consoles with the energy bar from rush, but builds becos of rings not tricks. looks good but i want moreee

I don't know why, but for the past 4 times I've logged on I've seen a front page story about this dumb hedgehog and the probability that we may see a mouth watering glimpse of one of his newest games. Maybe the fact that I used to be a raving sonic fan when I was younger is the reason why I'm even commenting. Anyways...I suppose as with everyone else that we all just want this game to be playable. @ Jim -- thanks, hopefully we can all see a ray of hope for this blue rodent

looks good hopefullythey go back to basics andkeep it to what made sonice fun t play

CAMERA.

I'm still iffy on this. the camera makes this look unplayable at some points. and whats with the UI on screen when showing off the levels? and wtf is with sonic just running in to an enemy and them just floating away?!

bwahahahahaha werewolf sonic....i wonder if darth vader or yoda will be in it as well???

Oh, but regarding the floating, yeah the ragdolls aren't working yet. Or the animations, if they're supposed to break appart.

well sonic is finally going fast again...that alone has me interested.

I don't understand what you people are excited about, this is Sonic and the Secret Rings in an outdoor environment. Its not 2D or 2.5D its 3D on rails. Why can't he stop or move to the left? Because sonic team sucks ass.

Oh it's on rails? That explains it. It looked like the game could play itself barring a platform jumping moment and the third-person "avoid robots" part.
