EXTREME "SONIC EXTREME" VIBE and loving it

 

[Beermeister]

I'm not impressed by the graphics but it looks fun though, and I hope you can use the Pro controller or the Gamepad. No Wiimote/nunchuck motion controls, please.

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

3D Mario won't be out in 2013.
There is NO WAY this and Sonic Lost World are releasing this close to each other.

Sonic's not big enough to carry things alone. Besides, Nov 2011 saw Mario and Sonic games releasing side by side on 3DS, so it's not like this would be unusual or anything.

 

[Silent_Ocarina]

didn't a rumor said that? Sonic LW now and Mario 3D 2014?

A rumor put a Sonic racing game in 2013 and Mario Kart in 2014.

 

[CronoShot]

Gameplay looks great, but it's definitely missing some lighting effects that Unleashed and Generations had.

If it's a deliberately simple look to give it a locked 60fps, I'm down with that.

 

[CDX]

Sega include a fish eye camera option!

Anyways hyped by the Sonic Xtreme vibes I'm getting.

 

[Mpl90]

Oh fuck me; I just had a thought.

Nintendo and Sega have said that the reason we've never seen a Mario & Sonic platformer is because they wouldn't fit together.

What if... the name Sonic: Lost World is a red herring? A codename? And the upcoming 3D Mario due to be revealed at E3... is this?

It would certainly explain the Wii U exclusivity.

It's a fucking long shot indeed, but one can hope...

You're not Xbox, but still: Go Home, You're Drunk XD

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Darn that really looks like fun...I just like seeing that checkered land again, always great to see that in Sonic game, it just feels right.

 

[D_prOdigy]

Looks fun and I hope you can use the Pro controller or the Gamepad.

...what else would you be using?

 

[Ezalc]

Wow that looked pretty cool actually.

I would be incredibly disappointed if the 3D mario somehow ended up being this, the fact that smash bros. is coming might not even stop me selling my WiiU out of anger.

 

[ElFly]

Hope it's 60fps.

Sonic Generations being 30fps on consoles was dumb.

 

[Daingurse]

Wow, it's fucking Sonic Xtreme. . .

 

[Dark-Cloudz]

Well that was awesome. On Radar now.

 

[The Hermit]

Why Sonic trailers still get me hyped? Colors was good, almost great but generations was disapointing.

This looks very good, hope Robotnik shows up.

 

[L.O.R.D]

why soinc is running away in this trailer ? is it suppose to save the little creatures ? or run away ?

 

[Plinko]

I'm in.

 

[Kyzon]

I'm actually not mad at the Enemy Design.

I wonder if Robotnik will steal the enemy spotlight at the end. (Pull a Ganondorf)

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Damn...I'm actually considering a WiiU now.

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

Has the boost been completely removed? Looks like it. If so....this pleases me.

 

[ElFly]

Daaang the dithering here is Genesistastic. The gif maker pulled a homer.

 

[Neiteio]

I loved Generations, but even so, I'm not one to anticipate Sonic games.

But Lost World(s?) looks so FUN. I really want to play it!

I actually like the look of the villains, too.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

Wow, looks great! Good job Sega!

 

[Meccanical]

why soinc is running away in this trailer ? is it suppose to save the little creatures ? or run away ?

Shh...

Just be quiet and look at Sonic run and jump around.

 

[Shotgun Kiss]

What the hell are you talking about? I do not understand how you get the idea that this is a red herring now that we've actually seen footage.

I mean, but, yeah, I'd be pumped for a Mario x Sonic platforming crossover.

I know, you don't have to tell me; I just enjoy imagining, just like the glory days of Mario & Sonic in the 16-bit era.

 

[Arc Christelle]

If you're referring to Generations, I'm sure Sega hasn't abandoned it. That's gonna have to be multi-platform though.

I actually feel that Unleashed had superior gameplay than Generations. But generations so happened to hit it out the park when it came to Level Design.

Looks really intriguing and I like the in-engine art style a lot.

Sonic Colors was better than Generations IMO because it balanced 2D and 3D sections well. Generations suffered from separate stages that were mostly 3D and Sonic Team still hasn't figured out a way to make Sonic control in a fluid manner in 3D. Colors minimized the damage by only using 3D for a few places where it worked well.

The gameplay here almost looks as if they've further re-thought how Sonic moves during 3D segments. If they can finally solve that problem they may have struck gold.

You know Sonic wasn't always that much about speed.

I mean it was, blast processing and all that, but not that much.

Particularly the Genesis ones.

As someone who has hated the reliance on speed since SA2, going back to a slower, more methodical pacing is a godsend. These games did used to be actual platformers, after all.

..........Why the fu-.... You know. Why do we even call him Sonic anymore? Why do they even avertise his speed or any of that bullshit if we're just gonna avoid it for now on. Let's paint him brown and call him Sonny Hedgehog like that stupid ass Sonic Bible story. lol

Spoiler

In 3D Sonic especially Speed is a part of his gameplay identity. Break neck speed and adrenaline rush is what separates him from any platformer that isn't Mario.

I'm gonna need more gameplay footage, a demo, and a speedrun video before I let myself get excited. Right now, I just feel disappointed.

But I may be wrong.

 

[ChamplooJones]

Gameplay looks cool but I gotta say, I'm a bit disappointed with the graphics. Sonic was always about pushing tech in different ways so it is a bit of a shame.

Unleashed and Generations are some of the best looking platformers out right now. Framerate aside.

 

[BloodMoney]

I dig the retro funk... this trailer takes me back and bends my mind.

 

[SuperSah]

Admit the villians look pathetic.

 

[Chiaroscuro]

Totally Sonic Xtreme. But it is not a Sonic game without Eggman.

And the main concern is the camera angles.

Edited: also the enemies looks like /rip off Kung Fu Panda.

 

[SirBukkake]

I'm such a Sonic mark; I gotta have this game. Here's hoping it's 60fps.

I also hope that this is just a taste of what's to come games-wise for WiiU and Nintendo in general.

 

[geebee]

Looks great. I'm especially liking the art style for this.

 

[dacuk]

Diznang, that looks swell visually

but...i can't get hyped for a Sonic game. I won't allow myself to. Hope it turns out well though

C'mon Ami, do not refrain of having hope on another good Sonic game.

Spoiler

Eventually they will make a good one, won't they?

 

[Neiteio]

Admit the villians look pathetic.

The villains remind me of the aliens in Space Jam.

WHICH IS AWESOME.

 

[Smellycat]

Omg it is Sonic Galaxy! Looks good

 

[NotLiquid]

Since Eggman's bots are there I'm just going to assume that the new chaps are fulfilling some sort of Knuckles-like role as protector of something and they assume Sonic is a bad guy.

 

[Aostia]

I like the intentionally old school art style, w/o realistic contaminations

[Heyt]

Not every game needs that development budget. And to think every game needs to be a technical showcase is just beyond me.

Also those technical showcases will be at E3. Namely Mario 3D and (hopefully) Retros game. Also Smash. We're a mere 2 weeks away...

Sorry but I really struggle to find an explanation to a first party funded game developed from the ground up for WiiU that is the first on a iconic and historic partership to be less impressive visually than a B multiplatform game for 6 year old hardware.

Gameplay it's awesome and I can't wait to have this bad boy on my 3DS but WiiU version should look no less that this

 

[spindashing]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[Skyzard]

@Heyt, Maybe they are going for 60fps.

 

[Kyzon]

"Use Sonic's new moves!"
(trailer shows 0 new moves).

Wall run, grabbing ledges, and walking on enemies (kinda)

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

"Use Sonic's new moves!"
(trailer shows 0 new moves).

I thought it was referring to the wall running ability. I assume that's a player controlled thing now to be used when you choose instead of it being an automatic thing in certain set pieces.

While that does look great, I honestly think this looks visually better.

Seriously, the graphics engine + art style for Lost Worlds looks incredible. So good.

 

[DaBoss]

That first thing sure does look familiar...

It's rough LOD, yes. Likely being left at really safe levels until the game is more settled then it will be optimized. Sonic Team is really good at handling that stuff, so don't worry.

OK. I typically don't really care about that stuff unless it really hampers gameplay.

 

[Dice]

"Use Sonic's new moves!"
(trailer shows 0 new moves).

He's running on walls that weren't wall-running walls. Not sure if new moves or removal of arbitrary limitation on previous moves...

That first thing sure does look familiar...

Have you played other 3D Sonic games? If anything, Galaxy made Mario more Sonic-like.

 

[J@hranimo]

"Use Sonic's new moves!"
(trailer shows 0 new moves).

As funny as that sounds, these "new moves" seem to really add to the platforming and level design. Wall-running makes more sense now besides looking cool lol.

 

[R_thanatos]

"Use Sonic's new moves!"
(trailer shows 0 new moves).

Trailer showed 2

Wall dash & Wall grab.

 

[ElFly]

"Use Sonic's new moves!"

Ok I missed the last couple of games but did sonic have wallruns and climbing?
