Exclusive...KABOOM!

I hope this game recaptures the Soul of Sonic. We certainly don't need another Sonic The Hedgehog 2006.

Now that Sonic enters the next gen, we can put the abominations in that last one behind us.

yugovega3993d ago (Edited 3993d ago )

be careful. you'll be accused of trolling for excitement for something besides ps4

im excited to see how this sonic turns out. if done properly this may sell as many wiiu system as was sold s far. sega has been uping their games lately.

darthv723993d ago

it give off a mario galaxy vibe. Fine with me as mario galaxy is a great game.

Sega takes the best of sonic colors and mixes in mario galaxy and presto...we get the lost world.

will there be dinosaurs in it?

aPerson3993d ago

Not every Sonic game this gen has been crap. Sonic Colors was great and Generations was good too.

But yeah - Unleashed was mediocre and Sonic '06 was terrible.

from the beach3993d ago

I really enjoyed 4-1 and 2 as well, plus Sonic Racing is a fantastic series.

lilbroRx3993d ago

I didn't say they were all crap, but their were enough that were to make me want to forget.

Also, Sonic and the Secret Rings for the Wii was alright.

PopRocks3593993d ago

I wouldn't call the last gen Colors or Generations games abominations (if not slightly overrated), but I think this game could be something. There's potential here; a lot damn more potential than Unleashed or '06. Now THOSE games are abominations!

StraightPath3993d ago (Edited 3993d ago )

after Sonic 1 2 3 and Sonic Knuckles sonic games didn't exist.

They killed him off by adding dozen of horrible sidekicks, plus awful story lines that promote bestiality, and giving him a annoying 10 year old voice.

Sonic games went from 2D platforming greatness to awful on rail 3D games with horrible camera, and controls with Sonic feeling like a unresponsive tank to control.

Sonic died ages ago and is one of the biggest downfalls in gaming. Sega killed him.

Sonic Colour and Generations were decent but taking Generations for example it still had annoying 3D on rail levels that never worked while Sega keeps insisting it will. Generations was average at best with he 77% metacritic approving it too.

Colours was okie but still had many mistakes. Sonic needs to die for 10 years and come back with a full reboot.

Not hoping on this one either, Sonic fanboys always get burnt thinking it will be different this time lol

insanity is doing the same thing over and over again thinking something will change. So no hoping this one will be good either.

Art reminds me of Mario Galaxy. Mario went onto greatnesss with Mario 64, Sunshine, Galaxy and numerous handheld titles. Sonic went to become the worst failure ever and needing Mario to make him relevant again by letting him appear in Mario games.

But a exclusive for the Wii U which is a good thing though. Hopefully no were hog crap either.

Sonic generations, colors, #4 episodes 1&2 were all great IMO. I've enjoyed almost all 3d sonic games except for sonic 06 and I never tried unleashed, but adventure 1*2, heroes, and even shadow the hedgehog were fun games for me.

animegamingnerd3993d ago

finally i found someone else who like heroes and shadow

sonic9893993d ago

Noooooo why exclusive SEGA????
3 Sony systems and you choose none meh
Thanks sega no buy from me I hope there is a game for the ps4 or I would be very pissed

lilbroRx3993d ago (Edited 3993d ago )

SEGA had far more success on Nintendo hardware last gen than Microsoft and definitely more than on Sony.

LOL, Sony...

They know where their "true" fanbase went. SEGA was always the company that graphics were the least important aspect for. They always pushed innovations and that it where they went.

sonic9893993d ago

its my choice to choose which system I like and sega as a 3rd party dev should provide the games for me thats all
even though I used to like sega before ( genesis, saturn and dreamcast ).
now as a 3rd party dev like EA UBISOFT ETC they should act like one

PopRocks3593993d ago

This game might have 2D gameplay. You never know.

Sonic Game Writers Had ‘Very Little Say’ On Story Scripts

The writing duo behind Sonic games like Sonic Colors and Sonic Lost World reveal they have little creative control over their game scripts.

-Foxtrot97d ago

They need to start letting people take inspiration from the comics, there's a ton of great stuff to take inspiration from.

phoenixwing95d ago

My beef is why even hire writers if you're just going to control the whole process. I'd be very upset as a writer if someone did that. A job is a job though.

DarXyde95d ago

Performative for optics, I would think.

It's like the US Congress holding a vote to "denounce the evils of socialism." It literally did absolutely nothing about anything and was a complete waste of everyone's time (and tax dollars—which is its own irony, by the way)

Dumbest thing in the world, but if you hire writers, it looks like you made a serious effort to make something great.

Do you remember when the original Suicide Squad movie was coming out? How much did we hear about Killer Croc's actor watching cannibal videos to get into character? Or even the "incredible lengths" Jared Leto went through to personify Joker on and off set?

It looks better when people think you're taking it seriously.

XiNatsuDragnel96d ago

Pretty much confirmed that SEGA controls everything about sonic no derivations fr

Profchaos95d ago

Nothing new sonic forces was meant to be far darker then sega got cold feet and they did the same old power of friendship ending

How Sonic Lost World Paved the Way for Sonic Frontiers

While a number of the games before it help influence Sonic Frontiers, Sonic Lost World acts as the blueprint for the game's open-zone design.

Top 10 Worst Sonic Games

Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "I’m a huge fan of the series and love to talk about its best games… but its hard to argue that it’s all been great for the blue blur. From games that were loaded with glitches, slow-paced gameplay, and visuals that look more like a blue blur of… pixels and polygons. So, take this as a warning to avoid these 10 worst Sonic games of all time."

Never played any of these on this list, surprised Sonic R isn't there, but then i played that on my first PC and didn't think it was that bad, got some mild enjoyment out of it at least.

-Hermit-959d ago

Lost World, Black Knight, Forces and Chronicles should not be on that list, I can easily think of worse.

Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal, Sonic Drift, Sonic Drift 2, Sonic Labyrinth, Sonic Eraser, Sonic R, these are all way worse than the games on this list. Knuckles Chaotix was terrible as well, I hated the way you had to control the players, it was a pain in the ass. Even games like Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic Spinball and Rivals 1 and 2 which I thought were decent were worse than some of the games on this list.

To be brutally honest, most of the Game Gear and Master System Sonic games are pretty awful too. Sonic Chaos on the Game Gear for example, you can't even see what you are doing because the field of view is so bad.

I would rather play Sonic 06 than any of the games I listed above, and that game is classed as the worst Sonic game of the lot.

People have nostalgia glasses on when they think about old 2D Sonic games. Outside of the mainline games on the Mega Drive, most of them were worse than the modern day 3D games.

Rebel_Scum959d ago

Sonic 1 & 2 on the MS2 and GG were great games. Perfect blend of speed, secrets and challenge.

Sonic Chaos was shite. Too easy and gross looking sprites and backgrounds.

imo 1-10 for worst Sonic games would just be all the 3D one's and Sonic Fighters.

lellkay959d ago (Edited 959d ago )

There is definitely some worse games than Lost World,

The guy who wrote this definitely didn't dig enough into the franchise history haha

Pyrofire95958d ago

General question.
Is your favorite Sonic game the first one you played?
If not, is you favorite the same style as your first? (3D, 2D, some other distinction?)

lellkay958d ago

My favorite game is not the first one I played. (First one I played was Sonic The Hedgehog on Megadrive/Genesis)

My favorite one is probably 3&K or Mania, so yes it is in the same style as the first game I played.

-Hermit-958d ago

My favourite Sonic game is not the first one I played or same style.

The first Sonic game I played was Sonic 1 on the Mega Drive, my favourite is Sonic Adventure 2.

DFresh958d ago

I disagree with Sonic Forces on that list but the others are correct.
Sonic Forces is hella under rated.
