Sonic Lost World (Wii U, 3DS, PC) Megathread

Well.. here's some demo gameplay!

Nothing that new.. just a run through of Windy Hill Zone 1

(And the cutscenes are in English)




EDIT: 3DS Footage (but in Japanese)

 

Has anyone mentioned the end of level flags? They're back apparently. That makes me smile

 

I thought you was making a Mario joke for a second, but I suspect you mean the extra points you get when jumping onto the capsule like the original? I think we noticed those awhile ago.

Hey look its finally someone who actually can play this game! 3DS version looks like you can abuse the shit out of the parkour and spindash. Good.

Amy's voice is insufferable as always. Jesus christ. I guess we can just assume the wisps are there because Eggman simply had a few leftover from the whole Colors thing.

 

The wisps just seem like they are...there. no reason as to why you suddleny run into the alien creatures you saved a long time ago. eh, maybe itll be explained later...

 

I think that the wisps appearance can be bundled under the same category as item monitors and rings at this point. They're just there now. Don't know why they're there, they have no reason to be there, they just are. I mean I like the things. I can see how others might not but I think of them as an evolution to Sonic 3 elemental shields.

 

I would accept that as a reason if they weren't soo built into Color's story and what happened to them after. now they pretty much need an explanation as to why they are there this time. :\

 

You can do that on the Wii U version too, you just have to hold the button.

 

Well if we're trying to think of reasons about why the Wisps are there, the Lost Hex is a sorta planet thing that Sonic never knew about (or it was some sort of legend). The Wisps could have very well just happen to inhabit that land as well, as some are new wisps that we didn't see in Colors.

Alternately, yes, the Wisps just left the tropical resort and some of em ran off to Sonic's planet to run about all willy nilly.

 

I realize, but the 3DS version has level design that can accommodate it. Wii U version so far has more speedboosters and pushes you forward more than the 3DS version does.

I still maintain Eggman just has a stash of Wisps left from Colors. But really they're just there to be there.

 

Huh, Sonic's a lot faster than expected in the 3DS demo. That's quite the speedrun.

Hopefully the later Wii U stages won't involve nearly as much 'run to the spring' stuff as the first level while in 3D.

 

Alright. Yesterday out demo in Japanese e-shop, I'm got rom.

^^^These^^^ are the evolution of the elemental shields.

 

If you have Gateway.

 

Well, to be fair, the Sonic series has never been wonderful about justifying their gameplay mechanics. Most egregiously, Sonic has been able to grind rails for the past 12 years, in spite of only wearing SOAP shoes that one time.
