Sonic Unleashed, First Screencaps

[Torte]

This Sonic looks rather bland...

Sega at least got half of it right - 2D gameplay = yes! 3D graphics = no!

 

[JKR Firefox]

Oh god...please let this game be as fun as Sonic and the Secret Rings was...please oh please...

I can't stand to have another 3D Sonic game be a letdown like Sonic the Hedgehog was on the 360

 

[Rock Raiyu]

I read somewhere that its supposed to be for 360 and Wii but they did not have confirmation for it on PS3.

From the video it looks like they're bringing the sidescrolling back, wich is just the right thing for a Sonic game.

I think they assume that, because this game is supposedly confirmed to be the cover of the next two issues of the new X360- and Wii-magazine...

But as far as I know this has yet to be officially confirmed...

That's what I was thinking. Forced camera angles could be just what the doctor ordered for Sonic. Instead of the loose camera that went wherever the heck it felt like.

"Oh, your running right? Okay. I'll pan left then."

Holy crap

That video has just gotten me REALLY excited for this. Please don't be an April Fools joke

This is kind of how I envisioned the type of game I wanted Sonic Team to make. This looks really nice to me. Side scrolling but with fancy 3D graphics. Looks like they've thrown in 3D battle/puzzle type parts to keep the game fresh and more appealing to the new demographic.

Happy looking non-emo Sonic - CHECK
No stupid bestiality princesses or human NPCS - CHECK (so far)
Bright blue skies - CHECK
Bright and cheerful levels - CHECK
Lots of loop de loops - CHECK

I hope they don't screw this up. Looks like the shameful next-gen Sonic has made them rethink their strategy a bit.

Shaun speaks the truth. This is how I envisioned a real next-gen sonic game should be/look like as well (from what I can tell from the video). Although I am a little worried that they may have more or less removed any platforming aspects (there's one shot in the vid but it's just jumping a couple of gaps) and just made it a run to the finish type game with a few basic jumps and enemies along the way. The fact that the levels in the video look completely linear don't give me much hope. We'll wait and see though.

That`s just what I thought when I saw the trailer...

It looks just like Rivals and that is in my opinion a really bad thing. SEGA really should concentrate in what made Sonic such a classic in his genesis-time. And that was not only insane speed...

I think they should do a WiiWare-Sonic3&Knuckles remake. Would look 100-times better than this. But it is the first footage and they may add something interesting

Can we add:-

No new sonic recoloured with superpowers character - CHECK (so far)

In fact I believe they really need to cut out so many Sonic characters, at least stop making them all playable. Sonic is who I want to play in a Sonic game, not flipping Rouge the bat!!!. It's like every Sonic game that has come out since Dreamcast has been competing for the most new unplayable flashy characters award.

The video looks very promising to me, but so did some of new 'Sonic the Hedgehog' footage before the game was released...
Last chance SEGA! (how many times have I said that!?) After playing Sonic in Brawl I'm convinced Nintendo would do a much better job of making a Sonic game.
Prove me wrong.... please!

Sonic Unleashed to be multiplatform?

According to a translation from a German magazine Sonic Unleashed will be a mulitplatform release. Here is the full translation of the statement: "Sonic unleashed will be on the cover of the next PLAY magazine, it will also feature in Nintendo's magazine (NOM) and will be in the August issue. The screens I have uploaded are from the Xbox 360 version of the game, however, the game is going to be a multiformat release."

Nice work need4speed

I read on gonintendo something about the 'leaked' images coming from a directory labelled with something containing the word Nintendo.

And there's the game's catch that they all have to have now - Were-Sonic or something.

And suddenly I feel like I lost faith in Sega.. AGAIN! Are they trying to pull off a Zelda or what?

 

[wiifriik]

were-sonic? omg!

That's stuff i dont really like!

well but you can't really say anything about that game cause there's nothing official! we'll see!

 

[TheStump]

I never really got into sonic, but from what i've seen they should have kept it 2D.
Maybe Sega should get nintendo to make a 2D to 3D cross-over for them, they always seem to get it right

 

[NiGHtS]

Looks cool. I'm always ready for a sonic game that looks anything like Sonic adventure 2 battle.

 

[Eternal Myst]

AGHHHHHHHHHH When is this game gonna come out already Im craving for reviews and good news.

Last chance Sega bring our HedgeHog back to life ..................

- Sonic becomes afflicted with a curse…that turns him into a werewolf. Sonic will have to battle himself, essentially.
- gameplay includes Sonic and the Secret Rings style running with switches to 2.5D platforming thrown in

- Sonic will transform at certain points in the game, and his new form will include some sort of new mechanic

- another new character will be introduced

- Sonic Unleashed is not the final name, and no platform(s) were mentioned. File names of the original leaked images indicate a multiplatform release of 360/PS3/Wii

..............I lost hope in the HedgeHog

- another new character will be introduced
