Sonic Unleashed trailer has music that doesn't suck, also Sonic is Jesus

The latest Sonic Unleashed trailer has water walking. This cements my long-standing theory that Sonic the Hedgehog is actually the Son of God, our Lord The Baby Jesus Christ. Also, I am still yet to be dissuaded from my other theory that Sonic Unleashed is a good game.

The music is good, the gameplay is fun and the graphics are gorgeous. I hereby declare that if I do not enjoy Sonic Unleashed when I play it for our Destructoid review, I will spike my hair, paint both it and my face blue, and spend a day's work publicly displaying my sick hedgehog visage online for all to see. 

Also, I'll toss one off over Sonic and Knuckles Yaoi. It's sad how certain I am that such stuff exists.

I really want this game, but deep inside there is the fear of it being bad. Though I'm really hopeful this time.

The Game looks Ok but...it's been around a decade since last great sonic game (Sonic Adventures for the Dreamcast) I wonder if the blue hedgehog can shake off that much suckage.

Since when did Bowling For Soup suck? I liked the E3 trailer.

As for this trailer. I'd like to disagree about the gameplay. Considering what a load of crap Sonic The Hedgehog (2006 video game, not the original) was. I hope that they finally sorted out the problems.

The problems being crappy camera, frequent glitches, severely long loading times, and gameplay that feels too fast to control in general.

He's walked on water in quite a few games now that I think about it, both Sonic Rush games included.

What's up with the sound when he gets Rings? It sounds like he's losing them, not getting them. I hope they fix that. Other than that, it looks absolutely amazing.

Also, for the record, I will admit here and now that I like the songs in the recent Sonic games. Cheesy they are, yes, but I like Crush 40. Yes, I'm less of a person now. :P

Seriously Mr. Sterling... If the game ends up sucking, I'm gonna sing the "can you feel the sunshine" song in reverse above your bed until the satanic Tails doll comes and steal your soul. You have been warned.

In the trailer every time Sonic picks up coins, they instead play the sound it makes when Sonic looses all his coins. This sound sends shivers down my spine, reminding me of how vulnerable he is immediately after shedding his coins. It is a close second to the fear that is induced when the "about to drown" music plays.

Also, when long arms are long, I recall one name. Ristar.

Even if the game is awesome you should spike your hair blue anyway, Jim.

the fact someone said sonic picks up coins instead of rings makes me want to vomit in rage. all over his face.

Is it just me, or did the "pick up ring" noise in this trailer sound like the "get hit and lose all your rings" noise?
This worries me immensely.

Yes Cleaning Guy, thank you! I was just about to say the new trailers are disorienting me because of how they use the wrong sound effect.

Jimbo,
Make sure you get lots of lube so it doesn't hurt so much. K/Y, Astroglide, private label generic brand, whatever floats your boat, man. I've gotten so sick of SEGA. They half-ass everything they have released in the last 15 years except for Virtua Fighter 4 & 5. When was the last good Sonic game!?

There are millions of SEGA fans around the world that have begged SEGA (including myself) to re-release past home and arcade classics. We've been "lucky" to get so called "next gen" versions of SEGA Rally, Shinobi, NiGHTS, Golden Axe and Sonic, etc. What do get for all our begging: heartache, heartburn, being pissed off that you just wasted $60+ on a SEGA title with shit graphics and controls for the consoles it designed for.

Yeah, Jimbo, I can't wait to see you in blue. Just do use a favor and keep the videos of your "Sonic and Knuckles Yaoi" for personal use.

And no "Furries" fetish play, either!

I'll likely enjoy this as long as it doesn't have the run-through-the-level-again-for-this-dumbass-achievement problem that Secret Rings had. I still don't understand why my 12-year old insists on playing Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and acting like it's the greatest game ever. It blows.

It doesn't really look as though you really get to play much of the faster portions. Big surprise there.

Shut up Jim, Crush 40 was amazing in Sonic Adevnture 1 & 2.

But fuck Bowling for Soup or whatever.

The music strikes me less as 'Sonic' and more of 'Rez' or something.

Also, I blacked out after the Werehog came on-screen.

Eh the music is not too bad. It's no Hideki Naganuma but we can all thank Sega for burning down that bridge some time between Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventures.

@Syn:

Haha, Rings, my bad. It's an age old thing with me. For the life of me I screw up rings and coins so much. Recently I started screwing up saying Rock Band for Guitar Hero, it's so bad.

They talked about the messed up sound on the Podtoid, but Jim said that when he played it everything was fine with the sound effects. This game looks downright playable.
