this kind of reminds me of the cancelled sonic game for sega Saturn. http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Abash3985d ago

This looks so Mario. Sonic even hops on enemies and kicks them like Mario's gameplay. This is just so strange

Shnazzyone3985d ago

I got that impression too... then i realized. It's because it appears to be like rebooting the franchise in an good way. Like mario 64 or mario galaxy

diepdiep3985d ago

Hopefully this time there won't be any nasty conflicts among Sega's members or near-death experiences while making this game (Sonic X-treme had these which caused it to be canceled).

sephiroth4203985d ago

that sonic xtreme wouldve been cool as shit if it got released back then, yeah its alot like it well from those demos

sonic9893985d ago

Not that much it has some mario type of art style
but overall as a huge sonic fan i hope it turns out to be a good game then after that i hope sega would consider putting the PS4 back for the next big game

It's Super Sonic Galaxy!

Edit: I missed the ending. Looks like a 3DS version is happening. Must have missed that during the initial announcement.

Moncole3985d ago

It also reminds me of it and thats a good thing.

3-4-53985d ago

First thing I thought too. I think that is a good thing for sonic.

Sonic 1&2 were more slow paced and platform based and they were the best ones arguably.

Yi-Long3985d ago

... first of all no Robotnik it seems, but also I'm just not a fan of the whole 3D gameplay.

I would have preferred to have seen it stick to 2D, or IF you're gonna do it 3D, then do it in a away that it's playable, and not just some kind of inter-active rollercoaster.

MoveTheGlow3985d ago (Edited 3985d ago )

Oh, I'm sure we'll see Robotnik. They're trying to sell it to a new audience, it seems, and I'm sure that'll be the finale. This seems rather early so far.

I really like how this looks - it's exactly what a followup to Generations should play like, with an emphasis on what made the 2D gameplay good, but 3D-ified in a way that's informed much more on Mario Galaxy, or even Mario 3D Land, than Sega's original "Gotta go fast" Adventure 3D roots. Hopefully the game's fleshed out. This looks like it could be the next Sonic Advance as far as the 3DS is concerned.

princejb1343985d ago

It seems no matter what the sonic creators to people like you will complain...shrugs
Maybe they wouldn't be trying new things if sonic sold millions

-Mika-3985d ago

This looks ok. I guess My 3ds won't be getting completely ignored this holiday season.

SonyPS43985d ago

When was the last time 3DS has been ignored? If anything it is the Wii U that needs support. Perhaps you made a typo.

Gaming4Ever3985d ago

They must have, the 3DS support is actually insane at the moment.

WiiUsauce3985d ago

I like that Sony gamers and Nintendo gamers are on the same page. Who would've thought that Microsoft's colossal failure of a press conference would've brought us together? I can't wait to get my PS4 with Killzone Shadow Fall (I really hope there'll be vehicles in the multiplayer, because if there is, then I don't need Halo anymore).

Genuine-User3985d ago (Edited 3985d ago )

Parts of the trailer were from the Wii U version. The 3DS won't even come close to the trailer in terms of graphic fidelity.
I'll get this on the Wii U.

Venoxn4g3985d ago

maybe 3ds version will be a separate game, like sonic generations 3ds and sonic colors ds was

Phil323985d ago

Mika says a Wii U game looks "ok." Truly we have discovered a sign of the apocalypse.

truechainz3985d ago

the funniest thing about mika's comment is the attempt to actually make someone believe that he owns a 3DS

MoveTheGlow3985d ago

Whew! I don't even know what's in the 3DS holiday lineup yet (as they typically announce that stuff at E3, but hey, they're not exactly going to *be* there... but there will be Directs...); you must have some amazing inside sources there, Mika! I guess it's looking grim...?

This July, I'm just staring at Shin Megami Tensei 4. That'll take up a good portion of my time once I finally complete Fire Emblem.

RogueStatus283985d ago

Why are you ignoring your 3DS?

Soul Hackers, Fire Emblem Awakening, Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon, Monster Hunter 3U, Castlevania Mirror of Fate, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, Etrian Odyssey IV, Starship Damrey, Minis on the Move etc. just came out.

But I bet your Vita isn't getting ignored which got one game in the past months.

chrispseuphoria3985d ago

There was no mention of the Vita in previous comments...

Fanboy...

truechainz3985d ago

@chris

clearly you have never seen a Mika comment before

Theyellowflash303985d ago

LOL! Mika stop with the Bullshit! You anit got a 3DS. And you butthurt you can't play this on Sony's machine.

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.

-Foxtrot100d ago

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

phoenixwing98d 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.

DarXyde98d 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.

XiNatsuDragnel99d ago

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

Profchaos98d 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."

Fntastic962d ago

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-962d 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_Scum961d 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.

lellkay961d ago (Edited 961d 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

Pyrofire95961d 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?)

lellkay961d 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-961d 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.

DFresh961d ago

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