Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



 

Believe it or not, it seems as if SEGA may actually be capable of making a Sonic game that doesn't suck. I know, it's odd to think of, but the more footage that slips out for Sonic and the Secret Rings for the Wii, the more it appears as if these peeps finally got their act together.

 

Check out this sweet single and multiplayer footage from the game. Just keep your fingers crossed you don't have to suffer any Final Fantasy Sonic crap before you actually get into the gameplay.

Kick all the crappy humans (that sonic kisses to become super sonic now (WTF??)), and kick shadow, silver, all them bastards and bitches out Leave just sonic on his own (maybe Knuckles and Tails left in, but 4get Amy and even eggman because that's getting repetitive and this new bad guy still looks like crap) and you should have one decent sonic game!

That was a friggin long sentence


Even this bitch!

And when in the fucking hell are Sega and Nintendo going to have a cross-platform battle royale? We need a fucking Mario vs. Sonic game goddammit.

That last boss lacks the plumber look. =D

This is the next thing on my wii I'm looking forward to and this just made me all the more impatient.
Also looks like some mario party-esque multiplayer minigames?
With a Feb 20 date confirmed for the US does anyone have any word on the UK? OR have we still gotta wait til March?

As long as it's a 3D Sonic game, I will be convinced it sucks ass until proven otherwise.

I thought it looked a little gay. It just looks like Sonic 360. I hope it plays well, but Sonic doesn't need realistic dinosaurs or heavy guitar crap. I'm sure there will be some people who praise this game because it's on the Wii and "the controls are innovative" though.

the only sonic I liked was the one on gamecube, where you had the little animals that you could customize and send to school and it depended on who took care off them, shadow, which made them turn evil, or sonic, which made them good. that wasn't actually a bad game, but the only sonic game i liked.

won't buy this.

Keep dreaming. This game will continue Sonic's decade-long (at least) legacy of suckitude.

I'll give this one a try. It can't really suck worse than any other Sonic offerings, can it?

I liked Rush and this seems to remind me of it. I'm kinda looking forward to it. It'll be interesting.

I'm sorry, but the fact that this footage supposedly doesn't suck just goes to show how little people really expect from Sonic games now. It's just your typical crappy 3D Sonic game for one more go-around, albeit on rails. The storyline just fucking sucks, and the gameplay looks like ass.

I too can predict the future with unerring accuracy, so I also know it's so obvious that this game will suck, that anyone who disagrees has dookie in their head instead of brains.

Bitter sarcasm aside, that 360 sonic intro was so very, very shit

If I said I haven't liked Sonic since the first game does that make me a bad person?

Cause I haven't. Liked it. Since the first Genesis game.

But I hear Sonic is in SSBM....*snickers*

Sonic was meant for 2 dimensions. Making a 3d sonic game is like dividing by zero.

Why do the words "Sonic" and "3D" give my spine chills when put together in the same sentence? Okay, so I actually kinda tolerated Sonic Heroes, but haven't touched any of the other 3D Sonic games. Until I see the initial reaction to Secret Rings, I'm not going near that one, either.

so summa i thought you were lying to us....but indeed this sonic game does not look like crap.
im holding you responsible though when i buy this game and its like playing sonic adventure 2...you owe me something fantabulous...and it better be fantabulous.

Huh? The gameplay looks exactly the same as for the other systems, except with the obligatory spattering of Wii minipartygames.

Nope, gameplay looks more like a driving+jumping game, so probably the camera wont suck.
