Dash Text: [ESRB: E10+ (Everyone 10+) ANIMATED BLOOD,FANTASY VIOLENCE] Sonic’s on a worldwide adventure as speed is re-imagined! Powered by the Hedgehog Engine, Sonic Unleashed merges classic Sonic gameplay with next-gen innovation. Explore the first location of this all-new adventure in the Sonic Unleashed Demo, reaching speeds that you’ve never seen before!
It's no doubt in anyone's mind that Sonic games haven't been as good as the original ones, here is an interesting look at why.
Ever Since Sonic Adventure 2 on the Sega Dreamcast the hedgehog has suffered some pretty piss poor releases. Sonic fans have been hurting for a long time now with titles like "Sonic Riders" and more recently "Sonic The Hedgehog". What little good will gamers had left for the blue blur is quickly evaporating thanks to Sonic Unleashed, an otherwise decent Sonic game ruined by brawling levels that turn Sonic into a werehog combatant. So why exactly do the development team keep screwing things up exactly? Turns out it's an entirely conscious decision.
In the latest IGN Three Red Lights podcast at the 19:40 mark David Clayman recalls a time when he talked to a member of the Sonic Unleashed team about this very issue...
Sonic Unleashed, set to come out later this year.
"I asked one of the developers at TGS, you know I was like, come on everybody just wants Sonic running, like whats up with the werehog? And he was like, well, heres the deal... he runs at this miles per hour, kilometers per hour, and he laid out all of the statistics on how fast this hedgehog goes, and he was like In order to make a game where Sonic is running and everybody enjoys the whole thing we'd have to design this many miles of level, and it was some ungodly number. And he's like and that would be like maybe a three hour game and I was like wow, well that kinda stinks and he's like yeah, so we gotta do this other stuff."
So there you go! Sonic's speed means the level designers would have to craft and design miles and miles of scenery in order to make a game of decent length. Would you rather have a short, great Sonic game or the current lengthy and flawed Sonic games of recent years? I know which school of thought I subscribe to.
Feel free to discuss this in our forums and let us know what you think!
So there you have it, the Sonic Devs, are just trying to make it appeal to mass markets. I think they should listen to their fans and remember this simple trick, Quality > Quantity.
SEGA has released a new gameplay trailer for the upcoming "Sonic Unleashed" video game for Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii.
Sonic is charged with saving the world after Dr. Eggman breaks it up in this fast-paced game featuring the custom-tailored "Hedgehog Engine."
The trailer looks too good to be true but after checking it out SEGA look to have out done themselves again. The gameplay looks like a combination of Sonic Rush and Secret Rings which is really sweet, and will be a great title to look out for. I wonder if Sonic Unleashed involves Chaos Emeralds?!?!? lol
