SEGA is launching SONIC UNLEASHED with a HUGE production budget and it seems not only SONIC TEAM is involved but a very huge part of SEGA’s developer teams including those from Japan, the US and, apparently for the first time, even Europe. There seems to be one clear mission: Rebuild the Sonic brand and prove it could work in 3D environments.

Anyone else hopeful that it will be good?

No new gimmick sonic character

Sonic turn into a werewolf
Multiplatform

I've been reading about this, but didn't want to post about it because right now its being marked as fake, especially after the Wario's Woods Wii fiasco.

Sega of Europe confirmed that it's real. From what I've seen large portions of it are in 2D (gameplay, 3D graphics), and I have to admire Sega for having the guts to release a 2D platformer on next-gen consoles. I'm hopeful that this can be good, but given recent history I'm not expecting much.

Sadly, the thing I am looking forward to the most is a side by side graphics comparison between platforms at GameTrailers.

I just read about it. Good to know its been confirmed right away rather than to let the fans run away with it.

And Shy Guy, I looked at the screens and video and it looks basic enough that the Wii could handle it without any issue. The locales are well modeled, but don't exactly screen "OMG NEXT GEN GRAPHICZ!!!!". Same deal with Sonic.

No.When I first got my Dreamcast I couldn't stop playing SA 1. It was buggy and the camera had issues, but damn it was a fun game!

SA 2 was good, although not as great as SA 1.

Well, I for one like every Sonic game I have ever played, even Heroes. I really wanted to get the one for Wii but I haven't been able to afford many games lately. This I will make budget for though,

If this doesn't come to the Wii (although the sources say it will) then there will be hell to pay.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #10 on:** March 23, 2008, 05:08:19 PM »

I loved Sonic Adventure, it is my favorite Sonic game by far. SA2 on the other hand wasn't so great.

Oh I love SA2, the multiplayer racing was awesome, doing a race with your friends on the two "Final" levels was amazing.

This is wonderful. You know that place that posted the "official confirmation?" Yeah, they took it down, apologized for posting some incorrect info, then stated more stuff about the game. What in the world is going on?

So was Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, and to the dismay of some, its VERY real...

Proof that Mario & Sonic was being used to fund a multiplatform Sonic release.

Luigi Dude · « **Reply #17 on:** March 23, 2008, 07:52:53 PM »

If this is all true and the game is being release multiplatform, then SEGA can officially go **** themselves. The fact that this game is multiplatform shows their complete and utter disrespect toward Nintendo, the Wii, and anyone that owns the Wii.

Sonic 2006 on the 360/PS3 was a complete FAILURE, that cost Sega millions. While Sonic and the Secret Rings for the Wii which cost much less to make, went on to sell over 1 million copies. And then there's also the fact that Sonic and Mario has sold over 3 million copies in less then 6 months and is still selling. Yet the Wii's reward for embracing Sonic is to only receive a downgraded port of a game that's clearly going to be based on the 360/PS3.

This is complete bull****. If a Sonic game bombed on the Wii as badly as Sonic 2006 did on the PS3/360, I can promise you all that Sega would never ever release another one on the Wii. Just like how Sega gave Gamecube owners crap like Billy Hatcher and then when it bombed, used it as an excuse to cut support. Similar to how Capcom keeps giving us PS2 ports because they're want the games to do bad so they can use that as an excuse to cut support. But if the games that bomb are on any system that isn't Nintendo, they'll just keep giving them good support.

And some people wonder why Nintendo fans have strong feeling towards third parties. If Sega isn't going to give the Gamecube anymore new titles because Billy Hatcher bombed, then the 360/PS3 shouldn't get any more Sonic titles because Sonic 2006 bombed.

You'd think so... except that the chances of Sega ever not making more Sonic games for any hardware is about as likely as Nintendo deciding to stop whoring Mario. Face it, Sonic Unleashed being multiplatform is the result of Sega just plain whoring Sonic out like they've been since forever ago.

And I still fail to understand the argument that 3rd parties are somehow sabotaging their own releases on Nintendo hardware as an excuse not to offer Nintendo more support. Why would you waste money to prove a point when you already know what you're going to do? If 3rd parties didn't want to support Wii, then they wouldn't. They don't need excuses. Companies spend money to make money. 3rd parties like Capcom release PS2 ports on Wii because it makes them money. And the less they spend and the more they make, the better. That's the most elementary principle of economics. Otherwise, there would be no ports at all. Why spend money in the hopes that you lose more money?

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #19 on:** March 23, 2008, 08:56:16 PM »

So, according to Luigi's logic, third parties keeping the Wii in mind when developing a multiplatform game is disrespecting towards the Wii, Nintendo and its fanbase...Huh?

Dude, you should be glad that they are also planning on supporting the Wii with this release. One of the biggest issues during the N64 and GC days was that developers would completely bypass a Nintendo system when releasing a multiplatform game, even when the hardware and the fanbase existed for it (think Soul Calibur 3 being PS2 exclusive when both the GC and XBOX versions of SC 2 did well).

And finally, this is exactly the reason why I've been getting more and more annoyed at the Nintendo fanbase lately. It seems they are spending more time bitching about everything and less enjoying what they have.

Third parties are NOT out to screw Nintendo, Nintendo is not out to destroy gaming, they did not betray they fanbase and XBOX 360 and PS3 owners do not have it better than us...

I dunno, after "the scene" I'm not too sure Sonic can be saved. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, rest assured that you don't know.

IceCold · « **Reply #23 on:** March 23, 2008, 11:28:36 PM »

I agree with Luigi Dude, and would be more annoyed with this if I hadn't given up on the Sonic Team (Dimps made Sonic Rush, the only good Sonic game in years).. Sega is just beyond hope. The Wii is perfect for them - not only is the fanbase eager to buy their games, but their arcadey games fit the Wii so well. At least they've attempted Samba de Amigo, NiGHTS, Ghost Squad etc.. but there's still lots of arcade racers, lightgun games, and franchises that they can put on the Wii (hopefully with some effort put into them).

Where's my Panzer Dragoon?

I mean the game looks the same at the start of the trailer, then goes down hill when it shows the "classic" sonic stages
