- Thread starter Seda
- Start date
Since Colors, yes.
Beat me. Hell the cycle has been broken since Unleashed day stages for me, but half that game was still trash.

Damn,.. if this is true then THIS is going to be a bomb game!
Even the simple way the grass looks, is kind of reminiscent of old school sonic.

From the actual Genesis version
yep to me it looks like the Sega Saturn Sonic Xtreme concept with some Galaxy inspired refinements
yep I remember that.
there will always be a vocal minority conditioned to believe that anything less than looks-like-reality is bad and cheap
If those are Wisps... I'm conflicted. They were a rather fun gimmick in Colors but pretty bad in Generations. Going back to the former I realized how much the latter tainted my opinion of them. I hope they're purely optional if anything because I'm more excited about Sonic's new abilities.
On the other hand, a substantial deal of the abilities the Wisps possess could actually work well in a Super Mario Galaxy-like environment. Galaxy 2 had a Drill power up that worked really well, and as such the Yellow Wisp already sells itself. Laser as well is largely inoffensive and could be great in a tube-like environment. Spike might be redundant but it suits the world. Cube... could really work well for puzzles honestly. It would be a great fit if it can actually be utilized as a bounce ability instead of stopping flow and smashing the ground slowly. Frenzy and Rocket are completely throwaway though.

Wisps were optional in Colours, so I don't think that will be an issue. Plus, the fact that the trailer made no reference to them at all gives me the impression that they will be less vital to the overall experience.
Mind = blown
Wow, can't believe I didn't make the connection about the patchy grass being similar to the classic games.
Why doesn't this game look like this with even more finesse from the WiiU additional power? ugh, so underwhelming. I hope this also isn't the graphical standard we can expect from 3D Mario :/ Even though they will surely have a superior artstyle to what is shown here, but I really just finally want some 1st party games that feel like that they don't belong on the goddamn original Wii. And I'm already sick of waiting. X is probably like 2 years away too(
I think it may be an artistic choice to go for a look more similar to the original games.
I mean screens of Sonic and the Black knight on Wii look more visually impressive thanks to thousands of blades of grass and the lighting.

Nintendo does not have much experience with HD. so maybe thats why the technical aspect of graphics does look decent... so this is might be Nintendo team behind this.. hmm..
True enough. Generations did force them upon you though because it had to abide by the level gimmicks and such, so I hope they took some pointers since then.
From the screenshots of the Cyan Wisp and the laser crystals, they don't seem that forced at all. I imagine they'll serve as another avenue for accessing other paths, alongside Sonic's new abilities, which will likely take precedence.
Using an HD remake screenshot to illustrate the point
actually I just grabbed one of the first things I saw on google image.I really hope Sega can knock this game out of the park. They seem to be moving in the right direction with Unleashed daytime levels, Colors, and Generations but it hasn't been enough to dispel qualms about the quality of Sonic. Hopefully this game will bring Sonic back to a respectable level known more for its games than for fanart.

I never played any of those, but if it turns out to be a normal sidescroller on the 3DS, I doubt I'll buy it.
I feel the qualms about the quality of Sonic comes from the fact that people haven't played Sonic's recent games.
Why do people insist this every time? HD is a resolution. Nothing more. Nintendo may not be used to the bigger development budgets that have become the norm, but HD itself is only a resolution.

And surprise 15 minute Nintendoland 2 demo at the end in which Reggie surprises everyone with a Nintendoland theme float in the studio
will never forgive him for that E3 2012 fakeout....
Yeah, Nintendo assets look pretty damn good blown up to HD with some AA, as Dolphin proves.
Just my speculation, but I believe it's to cut corners. With regards to anime and manga, everything is about cutting corners.
In anime, such a pose is much easier to animate. You really only have to animate the legs. A standard running pose is a lot tougher to animate in that there are more moving parts. Most anime is done on the cheap. Plus it looks cool.
In manga, the same reasons apply. It's harder to do a good running pose. Arms out is easier to draw. Plus it looks cool.
In short: time/money constraints and it looks cool.
Game looks really good btw.

So do we have names for all the villains yet?
If this comes out the same time as 3D Mario and both are good games I will buy both and ascend into platforming nirvana.
If this comes out the same time as 3D Mario you can put them both in the Wii U and it becomes Sonic & Mario. But make sure you finish it before you have to return the game to Blockbuster.

This was best moment of my life.
What I'm not getting in this thread are the people who are complaining that this game has the graphics it does and asking why it doesn't have more detail, and so on.
To me, Sonic games were about bright, vibrant colours, and backgrounds and levels that weren't visually complex but were striking and bold.
This game seems to convey the classic atmosphere absolutely perfectly.

I love how Jaden is cropped out of this.
