SEGA has finally announced the new Sonic game, Sonic Unleashed, set to release at the end of the year for ALL consoles. Built upon the powerful "Hedgehog Engine" that can handle Sonic's speed! Even more advanced than "Blast Processing"!!!
They claim they are reinventing Sonic again, but also trying to go back to his roots:
| Quote: | | Having been broken apart by the evil Dr. Eggman, it's up 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. Both day and night play different, yet important, roles in Sonic's newest quest... as the sun sets, a new adventure awakens. 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! |
| Quote: | | Players will have an opportunity to engage in ways never before done with the Sonic franchise, so in addition to running at high speeds, which will be highlighted in four new speed mechanics, combat fighting now becomes possible. New combat, movement, functional abilities and platforming will be introduced to offer increased depth and variety. |
| Quote: | | Sonic Unleashed will offer a re-defined experience for fans and newcomers of the franchise alike by combing picturesque & detailed scenery, an expansive world with multiple paths to choose from and dynamic viewpoints for an immersive and renewed gaming atmosphere. Along with seamless 3D to classic 2D camera transitions, the game is built on a powerful, new proprietary "Hedgehog Engine," which introduces impressive lighting abilities and new technology tailor made for Sonic's new speed capabilities. Under development for approximately three years, the Hedgehog Engine will help to produce a visually rich next generation look and feel with elements of classic Sonic gameplay components. |
Press Release. See the Official Site for screenshots and a video.
So what do you think? Can SEGA save Sonic from his disasterous 3D career by going to 2.5D? Drop off the rediculous story and characters? Actually make a fun Sonic console game again? |

I'm getting it, but it'll probably suck. |

I'm hoping it'll be good. Really, I loved the intense levels of Sonic Adventure 2, but hated the following:
*All 2D Sonic the Hedgehog games (just didn't like them)
*All Sonic Spin-off titles that don't include four colors of plumbers
*All Sonic games after SA2
*NOT the Puyo-Puyo Sonic version, that was a good game.
So that leaves...Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, and Dr. Robotonik's Mean Bean Machine.
I'll keep my hopes up, I love the cast of zany characters in Sonic, and the thrill of speed. It's just the general gameplay and level design and other such choices that leaves me sad. |

Looks claymation-y. Looks good. Sonic Rush plus Sonic Heroes= Sonic Unleashed? |

I wonder if Sega can make a last continent level in a non-biased manner. I'll bet it's aisia. |

The best part is the game has a side scrolling design to it to make it feel like the classic Sonic games, and I'm definatly getting this for the Wii or probaly DS or both.
Still, Nice game to be played near the end of 2008. |

Looks promising, but I prefer not attend anything from SEGA, to prevent being deceived. |
