[Multiplatform] SONIC UNLEASHED - FURFAG FANSERVICE

I liked what I saw from the video, it looked like they were trying to go back to the side scrolling action from the older games but now that i see Sonic Wulf.. I'm just disappointed.

I don't know what possessed me to do this, but:

Spoiler:

Final Smash:

LANDMASTERRR!

Should we go ahead and make the assumption that SonicWulf will cause a drop in speed?

That picture is my wallpaper, because it's in hidef and it's FUNNY.

Also this pic pretty much describes my feelings in regards to the reaction to this game.



NOSTALGIAFAGS, THE LOT OF YOU. WAIT FOR SOME GAMEPLAY IMPRESSIONS KTHNX.

Props for the edit but you say "wait for gameplay impressions you old skool elitist faggots!" every time there's a new sonic game thread. Since we're going for the usual opinions here I'll take my usual stance of wait and see while pointing and laughing at this wtf of a game plot.

Oh, Sin Ansem... so cute. Except for when you have a lot of games from a given team. And all of those games suck, largely because of gimmicky game play, and then you get another game that's going to be chock-full of gimmicky game play, it's not nostalgia, it's experience.

Okay? Grow up now. Or go back to your Final Fantasy rehashes. Whichever.

I think he's just excited to see how much it'll suck. I mean, it defies logic.

"But the last 6 or 7 games they've made have been fucking terrible."
"SO!?"
"Ok, so going by their track record, it's quite reasonable to be weary of another entry in the series."
"NUH UH. YOU HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN IT."
"Did I not just explain that everything they've touched for several years has been terrible now?"
"Doesn't matter! It's totally going to be sweet and you're a dick for not thinking it's going to be the best thing ever."

Nostalgia doesn't have shit to do with the games being ass. I know, I've seen them.

It's battered wife syndrome. I kept coming back to the Megaman series long after the games went into the quality toilet, trying hard to convince myself that maybe THIS would be the time Capcom mends its ways. Megaman X7 was total shit, but the X8 demo looks promising, THIS time it's not going to suck!

And hey look, this new Sonic game is going to be a little different! It's 2D based gameplay! Never mind that the stake through the heart of all the previous games wasn't the transition to 3D so much as it was stupid gimmicky gameplay, and here we're being presented with another Sonic game featuring the same team and the same stupid gimmicky gameplay. Maybe THIS time they'll get it right!

Okay am I the only one who is still seeing this game as Secret Rings? This isn't a side-scroller. Its looking JUST THE SAME as Secret Rings.

Yeah, Lukage, because those 2.5D sidescrolling segments were CLEARLY just figments of our collective imagination.

Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventure were fine as games. It's the 3D Sonic games that garner the negative stigma, and since they're in bulk and this just happens to be another 3D looking Sonic game, it's hard not to see it in any other light than negative.

From what I've seen gameplay wise, things look at least promising. I'll suspend judgment until I see exactly what this werehog bullshit is all about, but I think most of us are just doing what comes natural when we see some stupid shit Sega gimmick emerge from a game that should really be about moving fast in well designed levels. Speculating in that regard really doesn't do anything more than blindly trying to be optimistic about this shit.

Perhaps I should have stated this as a very precise question:

Who has played Sonic and the Secret Rings?

If your answer to the above question was "I have," then please tell me what this game does to look promising. The concern is that say, in the first game, you could take a few different paths to the end, one perhaps going underground, the other through water. The last game they released gave you an option: Forwards or backwards. There's a "go" or "don't go" option. All you're doing is jumping along the track. I feel that this is going the same way in just giving the player a track to run on. I'll play an Olympics simulator for that.

And no, the wolf crap doesn't bother me because people aren't crying over some magical genie book. What I will credit this short video is a time and score meter. At least some original aspects are being retained in the promise of a "back to basics" game.

The music (okay, that's not gameplay, but it is something not the aesthetic equivalent of "awful") and the 2.5D segments all show elements of influence from the Sonic Rush games. The boost meter is present, as is the grind rails and such. Those being actually quite good, in comparison to Secret Rings... which was actually quite experimental and ended up more disappointment like everything else that is "experimental" in Sonic games.

Secret Rings would have been better if it had the option to use analog controls or better yet the DK bongos.

Clearly Sega's selected music is there to trick us into celebrating prematurely.

I'm not even irritated about the apparent "It's going to suck". I'm more irritated about the complaining of "ZOMG TEH WULF SAWNIK" There's SO many legit red flags (like Sonic Team USA's involvment) and you're bitching about a PLOT?! This is why we should ignore games like this and not hype it as "the next suck". I'm just fine and dandy kicking people's asses in Brawl with Sonic, I don't need another 3-D game reminding me why everyone ignores Sonic Advance 3.

Yeah, except that the first real red flag that Sonic USAs involvement was going to lead to horrible things was "Hey, he's a werewolf now."

Good hustle, though. You might be fine and dandy with playing a character in a gimmick fighting game, but some of us would like them to actually give us a decent game. You know. A Sonic game.
