Daytime and nighttime screens of the same location. Okay, so when they scrap the time of day cycle they might have to scrap WereSonic too 😛

Though I disagree/have qualms with/laughed at points in that Seganerds post, I have been schooled in the multiple paths/platforms stuff, which I had not noticed myself in watching the video. Well, that's something good. But in order to avoid jinxing anything I'm not going to get my hopes up.

Look like there also a PS2 version.

God bless shovelware.

Ugh, if they do it like that tennis game the Wii version will have PS2 graphics.

Also, looking at that screen apparently the platforms are not directly above the lower path, so they may not have learned thier lesson about pits.

Finally returned after a protracted absence only to see this... well now!

Were-Sonic has me sort of "Meh, I'll see how it works. Wolf Link worked okay."

Eggman PWNing Super Sonic has me jumping up and down whooping for joy. A respectable villain again! HECK YES! Even if he HAS always acted like a child, it's been quite a while (SA2, in fact) since he's had the moxy to out- and- out try to KILL Sonic. Even Sega's admitted this, referring to him as "more of a rival" these days- but those screens give me hope for a new console game with ol' Eggman as the sole major villain again!

As for the relative lack of bottomless pits... HELL YES! THANK YOU, SEGA! You make an acrophobe's life a LOT easier! Seriously, some of those level designs have been just TOO realistic... the bottomless pits have triggered a panic response.

And as for the gameplay... well, I appear to be one of the rare people who ENJOYED Rings's gameplay- it was incredible, ESPECIALLY compared to Next, and anything that plays like a lovechild between it and the equally-excellent Rush subseries has some potential.

Overall, I'm cautiously hopeful about this one. Fingers crossed!

Don't get your hopes up too much 332. Have you seen the large glowing beast in that pic, yet?

FYI, just because it is the game is listed for all the living home consoles on Gamestop site now, doesn't 100% mean it will come to fruition. Gamestop has a history of jumping the gun, and listing titles that have been rumored to come to a certain console(see the Suikoden III to Xbox debacle) or just plain assuming it will hit console X. I mean how the heck would Gamestop know that it is coming to the PS2 if this project was supposed to be hush-hush ,and wasn't supposed to be intended to be revealed to the public this soon except for two publications in the future?

Though judging by Sega Superstars and the fact that Sega needs money I guess, I wouldn't put it past Sega to part this to the PS2 also.

It's Mr. Hyde. /foldarms

Yeah... perhaps I didn't word that correctly. I'm aware he isn't the main villain in THIS title (having seen the weird beast that looks somewhat like a Peter Jackson balrog with neon pink... stuff in place of flames that you were reffering to. Maybe it's the horns?), but with the way he's shaping up to perform in Unleashed AND the promised performance in Dark Brotherhood (remember? Bioware promised he'd be a "respectable villain again"?), it looks like that, in the forseeable future, Eggman's starting to build his reputation back up to the point where, one day, he may be able to carry a title as the main villain, no questions asked.

Hence what I meant by "new"- as in, a new title AFTER Unleashed. Yep, I'm the master of poor wording, I know.

Ah, got ya S332.

*sigh* Will they EVER fix that?

Fix what?

Clipping? That's in EVERY game in some way. Just get used to it.

Does clipping refer to Sonic's arm "phasing" through his quills?

New Footage!

And it's incredible~

I know, but that specific problem has been in every 3D Sonic game. I just seems lazy that they haven't found a way to solve it by now. HAVOC engine, maybe?

EDIT: oops o.o

The Official Website is up as well!
http://www.sega.com/gamesite/sonicunleashed/us/index.php

Also, a press release.
http://www.tssznews.com/2008/04/03/sega-officially-reveals-sonic-unleashed/#more-257

Worth taking a look at their statement here, as it reveals Eggman as the main villain and also says how there is "The opportunity to engage in Sonic in different ways during the day and night time levels". I think we now what that means...

http://gonintendo.com/?p=39435

Wii version confirmed 😯

EDIT: WHERE DID MY LINK GO... AND DAMN YOU TOBY FOR POSTING IT A MINUTE BEFORE ME

It kinda looks alright.

Not the biggest fan of Sonic Rush, though.

I did laugh at "Hedgehog Engine" though. Take that, Super Mario Galaxy!

Also, YAY at completely unnecessary PS2 Version.

Having been broken apart by the evil Dr Eggman, it's down to Sonic to put the pieces of the world back together again by retrieving the power of the chaos emeralds. In doing so, Sonic will find himself in a race against time and faced with an unusual situation that will challenge him in ways never before seen. By completing a wide variety of action-packed stages, spanning the seven broken continents of the world, gamers will need to unleash Sonic's amazing abilities to save the world, and himself!

Sonic Advance 3?

Anyway the game looks cool.And yay for a PS2 version since my 360 gave me the Red Ring of Dead 3 days ago.

You know you have plenty of time to get that RRoD sorted out before the game comes out, right?

In addition to what Shadow Hog said, remember that your warranty should cover your RRoD.

Actually DoN, that depends on WHEN they bought their 360.

Quote from Wikipedia. Relevant parts in bold.

Warranty limits

It should be noted that the warranty that Microsoft currently extended to three years only covers the "Red Ring of Death" problem. No other problems are covered under the three-year warranty extension. For $99, the company will fix any problem outside of this, with work warrantied for three months. After that, customers will continue to have to pay $99 each time they have a problem, or purchase an entirely new system. ^{[63] [64] [65]}

Coverage is offered for those who bought and live in countries where the Xbox 360 was officially released; depending on the country, the customers will either have their consoles repaired or replaced. This policy will be transferred to a new console if one is exchanged through the Microsoft Service Center. All repairs come with a 90-day warranty starting at the date the repair is finished, or the original warranty, whichever is longer. Once past this date, the customers can pay around $140 (£80) to receive a repair or replacement. This charge covers shipping and handling, as well as a one year warranty on the repaired or refurbished console. There is also a service contract available through Microsoft (in select countries) to extend this warranty by up to 2 years at a time. The cost is $29.95 US per year and can be extended up to two additional years.

The estimated time to fix the Xbox 360 is 21 days. According to a GameStop memo, GameStop will no longer be selling product replacement plans for new, used, and refurbished 360s.^[66]

holy craps dude, all you had to do was say the warranty is at 3 yrs now for RRoD's and that the 360 had launched in Nov 05, therefore the warranties will start expiring in Nov 08...

'Also, YAY at completely unnecessary PS2 Version.'

Methinks if the Wii was as powerful as the 360/PS3, Sega(along with plenty of other developers) wouldn't have bothered with the PS2 by now.

I wonder if the Were-Sonic thing is inflicted by Dr. Eggman? The police of Station Square and G.U.N. went after Sonic when they thought that he was cuasing destruction and disturbances. If Sonic has a curse where he turns into a WolfHog that could aleinate him from the rest of his environment pretty quickly. "New flash! Sonic the Hedgehog is transforming into a monster and has gone completely bezerk! If you see Sonic, or think you have information on where Sonic might be, please alert the authorities as soon as possible. Do not -- repeat -- do not approach Sonic on your own."

That's probably giving the story way too much credit but I could see the potential for it to be something interesting.

In addition to what Shadow Hog said, remember that your warranty should cover your RRoD.

Actually according xbox.com my console warranty already expire (7/26/2007 7:59:59 PM ). So I now have to buy a new one . I'll probably buy an Elite now.

I'm pretty sure the red ring has its own seperate warrenty, I think it's 3 years or so.

Shadow with guns I can stand (somehow, when I can ignore the pointless driving), darkspines I can stand. But the plot sems off-putting; Sonic goes on his monthly cycle turns into a werewolf? No. Somehow I can't see Sonics speed mixing well with that look. And what is Eggman doing turning him into that? Roboticizer run out of batteries? Not to mention; "Play as good Shadow Sonic or as a black-arms suck-up were-hog!"

And the worlds' falling to pieces, literally. in a universe where everyone can breathe in space. Okay, there's probably other problems with that, but I'm expecting that somehow the laws of physics are going to be defied in a similair manner, and despite how the planets stuffed, everyone's going to survive on a cute little piece of space debris.

It happened to Bomberman's planet a couple of times. There were no casulties, despite the amount of explosions involved.

I'll take a Were-Hog over an Emo, Gun-Toting Sonic wannabe any day of the week.

It worked in Super Mario Galaxy.

And this isn't going to result in major emo-ness all around?

I don't see Sonic whining in the game... I see him SMILING. Emo's don't smile.

Don't forget screaming eye-bulging @ Toby

I want to love it...don't fail me Sega!

Funny. I see him snarling. I don't know what's more emo than that.

Cutting is.

Also, snarling is more "lol-feroshus" than emo.

Snarling really isn't very emo at all o.o

Don't forget screaming eye-bulging @ Toby

It'd look even more stupid if he was smiling while getting the holy crap zapped out of him. o-o;

New Trailer. What is he whistling at the beginning? I think it sounds like a bit from Green Hill Zone.

Sound to me like he whistling the song from Angel Island Zone. Also I notice that this the first time we see Sonic without his gloves.

No Gloves but its all Werewolf'd Monster's Inc'd out >>

Not gonna get excited until I see true Demo's. As a staunch fan of SaSTR, I really hope this is a good kick in the right direction. We need another year of Sonic done right -.-...

Yeah as soon as you see his werewolf arm I was thinking about Sully XD

The GameCube is more powerful than the PS2 and the Wii is in a whole other league than GameCube. They develop for PS2 because the PS2 is STILL outselling both PS3 and X360.

I play my PS2 more often than my 360. I've beaten Okami twice...I love that game.

And I keepy playing Um Jammer Lammy until I get tired of the music.

isn't he whistling the music from the trailer?

it's not looking so bad so far, but i'm hoping like heck the camera isn't going to be like that the entire time. oo;

http://kotaku.com/377699/sonic-unleased-no...hit-sonic-games

And the game's director is....

Yoshihiso Hashimoto. (SEGA Superstars eyetoy game, lead Chao programmer for SA2.)

Also:

During the daytime, the game is regular speed-based Sonic ramps and loops and rails. But! At night, Sonic's hairy alter ego (oh dear) comes out, and the game play changes to monkey-like swinging and obstacle manipulation.

So I guess that's how werewolf Sonic plays.

Discuss.

*Squeals* Man, this sound great; I've enjoyed every Sonic game I've played, but I'm gettin' sick and tired that my fellow fans hated them so maybe, just maybe, this will finally be a turn around. *folds hands* And I am so happy to hear that this won't be on-rails, that what made Secret Rings my least favorite Sonic game; I had rather played with a control stick on a "sucky" game like Sonic 06 then on-rails on a "decent" game like SatSR.
