A Tour of Sonic Lost World - IGN

well looks like I'll have to pick up a Wii U sooner than expected, I quite like the footage and hope the rest of the game turns out well.

As for the 3DS version...I was surprised, it looked very decent that. I'll be picking up Dimps.

The soundtrack is pretty great too, though LOL at the Sonic Heroes theme being the speed up music.

I wonder if Aaron would ever acknowledge the Sonic X-treme comparisons.
 
People act like Sonic has always moved at uncontrollable speeds. Sonic was originally all about being faster than Mario but still with a sense of control which looks to be the best 3d representation here.
 
While I have some qualms, namely the Wisps, I have to say if there's anything that I think looks great about the footage is that it finally looks like a modern Sonic game that focuses on the game feel rather than visual flair. Sonic Generations and Unleashed looked fantastic with the initial reveals but it was clear that the game's speed was pretty automated. This on the other hand looks like it's generally just pleasant to control and walk around in, and since it's adding stage gimmicks/themes much like Galaxy it seems like there's a lot of potential variety in all the acts that won't just make it retreads like in Colors.

It might not have the flair but I for one can't wait to actually play the game.

day 1
 
The 3DS version looks very adequate and fun compared to the Wii U version. I'm pleasantly surprised. Good news for those that only have a 3DS like myself.

It never was about uncontrollable speeds. In Rush, Unleashed, Colors, and Generations you always had full control of Sonic even when going at full speed.
 
Looking at the Wii U footage again I just noticed they have one of those "500 second" countdown timers like in Mario games....like what? lol

Agreed.

In this game he seems to move slow enough to allow for actual platforming, which the old sonic games had in droves. It's not a racing game. It is a platformer.

Unleashed nor generations are far from uncontrollable. Just requires a different skillset thats all.
 
I don't like how they aren't focusing on one style of gameplay. The second and third level being completely different from the first, which looks incredible. I wish every level focused on 3D platforming.

Yup.

Weird how people think Sonic 1, 2, 3 and Knuckles were about pure speed. There was lots of platforming involved at times and segments requiring speed were nowhere near as frequent as in the newer games.
 
I'm really surprised by the quality of the 3DS version. I was expecting a major downgrade in graphics but you barely notice any difference.

Gameplay looks awesome!
 
Still nothing that excites me.

I'm sure that I'll play it eventually, but I definitely won't be buying on Day 1. Especially not the even-more-boring-looking 3DS version.

Now that they seemed to perfect the 3D gameplay, enough of the 2D shit!!

Sonic's 3D platforming isn't quite perfected yet, but the 2D segments are easily the worst parts of Colors and Generations. So yeah, I'm with you.
 
Looking good!

I was a bit worried about the Wii U version after seeing the first level, but it looks like there's lots of variety in the level design between each act. The 3DS version looks like what I'd expect from a DIMPS Sonic game.
 
It's disturbing to see people say Nintendo is responsible for how cool this game looks when Sega has gotten their act together with Sonic Generations and Sonic Racing long before this partnership. This is just a continuation of great Sonic games, not a new beginning.

Most likely people who didn't play Sonic Colors or Generations.

Right now the 3DS version is looking like the better platformer.

lolno
 
I must not get it. I mean the music is boring. I have to try a demo. The screens looked great but in motion it looked rough.
 
Those new mechanics are...worrying. Sonic Generations' 3D levels were the best thing in the series since Sonic and Knuckles. The levels look less cohesive to fit the Galaxy theme. It looks near impossible to keep momentum, which is what the whole series is about.

Hopefully they just showed the crazier levels for the reveal.
 
No complaints here. In fact, I was getting ready to sell my Wii U if 3D Mario didn't impress me. Now I don't care; this looks good enough!
 
Wow this is the first sonic title to interest me in a while. Why are people thinking it doesn't look good graphically? The candy level looks great to me.

Sonic 1-3k (the best Sonic games) weren't just about momentum. They had lots of platforming and a bit of exploration as well. A lot of that had been stripped away until now.
 
Looks fantastic.

Wii U is slowly but surely winning me over. I know I'm going to buy one for Smash, but these other games are great incentive as well.
 
Just looked at the 3DS version. Looks amazing for a portable. Must be great in 3D.
