Sonic Unleashed

[l05tfr33k7]

well it's coming out soon. at first i thought the game would be great and i loved the 2D/3D concept. but then they showed the werehog...and it all went downhill from there. luckily from the previews of the game so far, they are pretty postivie (at least for the wii). i expect an average rating of around 7.5 for the game. which isn't bad IMO. the stages look absolutely stunning and beautiful. i have only seen video of the first stage cause i figure it would be a much better experience to uncover the stages yourself.

but if you're interested, here's a video of the gameplay from the first stage. check it out.

SWEET JESUS I THINK IM IN LOVE

when i first saw stuff bout this game i thought it was a shitty DS game like Rivals (psp)

[satman83]

that's cause it is greece!
not sure about the exact city though.

OMG YES....i hope this is good on the Wii

from the previews so far, the wii version is the one faring the best even with graphical downgrades. in fact its the only version of the 3 consoles with a steady frame rate of 30 fps
the 360 reportedly cannot push out consistent 60 fps for a sonic game...

[destructionmama]

I think the graphics are going too fast for me to play this game

sigh I'm getting old

[poehalcho]

its not out in europe yet...is it?

[Disconn3cted]

looks too much like that awful first sonic the hedgehog game for next gen systems I think I'll never be able to play another sonic game again after that

i must remind you that we do not speak of it's name!
that game was a shame.

the only thing that can possible bring this game down however is the werehog concept. the "NormaL" sonic concept seems perfectly fine and as fast as a sonic game should be.

its not out in europe yet...is it?

You have no clue what you are talking about. No console games run at 60 fps, not to mention that a TV does not display more than 24 frames per second.

[Avalanche]

WOAH! Cool! LOVED sonic, this seems like a cool addition. Orginal SEGA one was the best, but do you guys remember the sonic game that came out out dreamcast? I 'ED THAT ONE!

meh i dont own a 360 or ps3 but im sure ive read about a lot of games (especially on ps3) that run on 60 fps. for 360 i think they just cant run at 60 fps with 1080p resolution. otherwise there are games that run at 60 fps.

but if you could prove me wrong go ahead. the point i was trying to make was that Sonic Unleashed suffered much more in terms of framerate on the "nex-gen" consoles when compared to the low but constant 30 fps on the Wii.

MGS4 on the PS3 is capped at 30 fps. The average frame rate on it is ~27. There's one example, anyway. The Wii version is inferior to the other versions. Frame rate is hardly a big issue when you have two game worlds cut out, and more werehog bullshit than in the other two versions.

[XemnasXD]

Looks too easy, like you just press go and the game basically plays itself, you just keeping going forward as fats as you can, he got hit only once, whats the challenge in that...

and im sure theres more...

I understand what you're trying to say that framerate may not be as much of as an issue as other things (like the addition of 2 game worlds, not sure about that btw, and less game time on the werehog). I never said the wii version isnt inferior, atleast graphically/technically, but its not bad enough to not get the game at all.

Looks too easy, like you just press go and the game basically plays itself, you just keeping going forward as fats as you can, he got hit only once, whats the challenge in that...

ya but look at other videos on youtube of this level and you'll see a lot of people screwing up. this was one of the few players who posted a video in which they didn't screw up in the level. sure it could be an easy game but the point is that it looks much better than sonic A2B and you can't even compare sonic 06 with it.

in any case, im getting the game just for the daytime "true" Sonic levels. werehog is unfortunately something we must go with in order to unlock all the rest of the beautiful "true" Sonic levels.

You know not many, except those with well trained eyes, can see above 30FPS right, some can see 60 but not many. Movies are all 24-255FPS cause thats all the eye can see in video...

ooo. didn't know that (except for the movie part).

[Avalanche]

didn't sonic go super with the emeralds at the end in Sonic Adventure? I believe he did.

[poehalcho]

yeah but that wasn't eggman's business, eggman tried to kill chaos too. chaos shot eggman down. then sonic went super to defeat chaos

IGN video review of Sonic Unleashed:

http://wii.ign.com/dor/objects/14242720 ... 12108.html

I think it's a pretty fair review. In fact I would agree with most of the points mentioned. Check it out if you're still considering buying the game.

[poehalcho]

I don't see what's so bad about the werehog parts. if they didn't put those in there the game would be way too monotonic. also the werehog has some pretty interresting moves...
