Sonic Lost Worlds Debut Trailer [Up: Wii U + 3DS screenshots]

Looks pretty good. If they are going to copy a game then at least they picked one of the best in Galaxy.
 
I don't know about you guys but this game looks like Galaxy almost. You might even call it SUPER SONIC GALAXY


..

anyway it does look fun :D
 
Aside from the snazzy trailer, Lost Worlds looks like more of the same. They're even using the same Sonic models and animations from Generations. I still an abundance of springs and an emphasis on speed. The stages appear to be linear once again as well. There's nothing that sets this game apart from Sonic Generations except for the level shown. Disappointing.

Well, while we're making Generations comparisons here, I do want to point out that the first level in Generations was a terrible representation of the quality of the levels that followed it. (Green hill was comically straightforward, but then you got levels like Sky Sanctuary and Seaside Hill that had quite a few alternate paths) I'd wait a bit before complaining about linearity.
 
I am so excited right now for this game, that it's making me buy a Wii U and the only thing I can do now, is put a gif out that describes my excitement.

Maybe. We'll see I guess. Regardless, I personally find the repeated use of the Unleashed/Generations style to be dull. I suppose I'll like it more if Sonic doesn't control like a tank (see Colors, and Generations). We'll see.
 
The style of the backgrounds give me a big galaxy vibe. Just the way they look is similar to the way backgrounds in some levels looked in the Galaxy games. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if this was using an updated version of the galaxy engine.

I think he's going to be more agile this time around, going by some of the footage here. At least I hope he'll be more agile. We'll see. Need more gameplay footage to judge adequately.

Yeah, something about the actual visual style really does resemble Galaxy.

It might also be one of the reasons behind the total change in graphics style compared to other recent Sonic games. Different engine = totally revamped graphics playing to the strengths of that engine.

That's my guess. Nintendo has done such things in the past. It would explain the limited partnership and exclusivity.
 
I am legitimately full on excited for this game. Never thought Id see the day where Id feel confident enough in a Sonic debut trailer

Puppeteer, Rayman Legends, 3D Mario WiiU, Tearaway, and Sonic Lost World all release this holiday season.

Think about that for a second.

Mother of god....
I dont know if I have the time to fill in all that hop n bop goodness
 
Cool it with the fanart, people. Is that really the direction you want this thread to go in?

Fair enough. I'm curious to see how he'll control this time as well.
