E3 Preview: Sonic Unleashed - E3 Exclusive Trailer & In-Game Screens

Ripten's Chad Lakkis writes:

"E3 08 … the moment of truth. Would Sonic Unleashed suck? Well, if you are willing to have an open mind, and can toss aside your hardcore "sonic must run fast all the time" mentality, then the answer will be no, Sonic Unleashed will not suck.

First off, Sonic unleashed is scheduled for release in November of 2008 for the Wii, PS2, PS3, and 360 consoles, and as expected, the next gen versions will be different in terms of both content and game play mechanics.

The version we were granted access to at E3 was the 360 version. So the information below is in large part specific to the next gen version of the game. The code we viewed was an early version, and SEGA made it clear that lighting, camera, and AI was still being worked on.

That said, lets dig into some Sonic Unleashed details."

A Sonic game with Sonic as the only playable character. About time :)

Although I am pretty mad they decided to add that monster. Oh well.

I don't know about Super Sonic though. I remember Sonic the Hedgehog (on PS3 & 360) had CG trailers that had him in it yet we could never play as him.

Nostradavis6182d ago

I agree about Super Sonic. The way the person answered the question was a bit dodgy, so who knows.

The day time missions look incredible, finally they bring the original feel back. Then night time, they ruined the series yet again. A wearhog, come the f**k on!. They had the game then added BS angry sonic mode. Another fail, hopefully they just build upon the better half of this game and succeed next time.

Nostradavis6182d ago

Why is it you aren't willing to give the night time gameplay a chance?

Rob0g0rilla6182d ago (Edited 6182d ago )

These guys always figure out a way to ruin these Sonic games. They never really listen to the fans until now. Just remove the monster Sonic out of this game and you have an instant classic.

BUT like every Sonic game I have played, I will give this game a chance.

A new development team too and I'm actually glad they didn't decide to add any other characters.

poopsack6182d ago (Edited 6182d ago )

have you actually looked deaper into the nightime parts? The have added more than just some beat em up parts, theres platforming to, I mean its bad that they have really cool speed parts that are classic to the series and added a twist by making vertical platforming parts? You're like 60% of the gaming community that call themselves gamers, but just repeat what everyone else is saying.

They dont look all out awesome, but just because it isnt super cool for you its suddenly fail? Gamer? yeah right, arent gamers suppose to play games, or has the definition changed to person who complains about every aspect of one.

Arsenic136182d ago

It just looks taked on to make sonic "cool" or something. The day play looks soooo good. But then to make Sonic look like a bad ass they had to make him transform and have stretch arms. I gave up on Sonic after the gamecube ports of those dreamcast sonic games.

Dedicated Sonic Fans Have Managed to Unofficially Port Sonic Unleashed to PC

Sonic Unleashed on PC? The Sonic community managed to do just that with with the fan project "Sonic Unleashed Recompiled."

PRIMORDUS111d ago

Actually the torrent is up and you do not need to own the 360 version of the game. Also it will never be taken down.

Chocoburger110d ago

Nice, I found it on 1337x! I actually liked many parts of this game, but some parts are also shitty. Its uneven, but overall a decent game.

PRIMORDUS110d ago

1337x is one of my favorite ever since the real RARBG went down. I usually only get from FitGirl or DODI.

gold_drake110d ago

u gotta give the hardcore fans credit, they are committed to fix segas 3d sonic games ha.

I think it's best we leave these games we're they belong...in the past

Secret Rings, Unleashed, Black Knight etc, they weren't the best at least enough for a remaster

Generations is getting one because they had something easy to shove Shadow into before the Sonic 3 film and it's probably the better ones they've did over the past decade or so.

rayford15374d ago

Unleashed was one of my favorite P3 games would love a remastered version

NSANiTY373d ago

Minus the Werehog levels and I'm in.

Redgrave374d ago

Would be called.... Sonic Re-Leashed

Father__Merrin373d ago

Wouldn't mind a sonic 06 re release

gold_drake110d ago

gimme sonic heroes already!!!

If I have to read another one of these lists that contains the sentence "The game that started it all" I'm gonna go nuts.

And when it comes to fan favourite zones in Sonic 3 (he mentioned Hydro City, Marble Garden and Launch Base), I'd replace Launch base and Marble Garden with Ice Cap zone. Never heard anyone refer to the others as favourites.

NJShadow1083d ago (Edited 1083d ago )

I sorta' stopped caring about this list when I saw Sonic Spinball (a genuinely great game) ranked lower than some of the noted atrocities.

Pyrofire951082d ago

Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed is still my favorite kart racer.
I've never really been able to play online tho. D:
Can't even play Team Sonic Racing online cause the servers are broken and don't queue people together.
P.S. This is such a random list. I really don't agree with it. Maybe this really is how they rank it but them just seems odd personally.
