Project Needlemouse: old threads

Wait, what? Ryo is in Sonic and Sega Racing?

 

That was actually me, and I take it back after seeing that the negative space created by both the silhouette image and the Sonic 1 title screen are (here's the word again) IDENTICAL.

This is pretty solid, I think.

 

I re-read what he said, and now I'm actually kind of creeped out. I mean, you never know when it comes to people posting obvious things on 4chan, but that is damned creepy.

 

I will praise this game till I see it and can make judgement.

Forget what the world says...

I WANT 2D HD SONIC!

 

Oh god please let it be true, PLEASE!

 

He is debunked by information not related to the announcement of new games. He claimed that Unleashed was the "real" Sonic 06, but it's clear that the games aren't related in the slightest. The Engine they made for Sonic 06 was originally going to have real time day/night cycles before it was removed, and thus, fully real time lighting. The big hook for the Hedgehog Engine, created expressly for Sonic Unleashed, is its real time GI effect, which can't be affected by dynamic light sources as far as I know.

 

I believed in Wentos all along!

Also, he mentioned that "they'll likely do the same thing for the next game" when referring to the Unleashed HD/Wii versions. I'm hoping against hope that the Wii doesn't get a gimpy version, not that I wouldn't buy the 360 version if it was.

 

My biggest fear at this moment is that this game will be made, and it will be everything we want it to be, more or less. However, it won't sell well. Therefore, instead of just saying, "Well, that was a good idea, let's try to polish it a little, advertise, maybe not do the whole DLC-only thing", they'll abandon the whole premise as just another bad idea and try another marketing niche.

 

I'm CALLING IT.

 

If it is, indeed, true, then there will extra characters in the game, albeit optional. Not a bad idea in my opinion. If it is so, I'm hazarding a guess at Tails and Knuckles.

 

In before "official" fan characters are revealed.

 

So download only or retail disk? I feel it might be a little to risky for a disk to sell, it would have to be download only.

 

That's what I'm thinking it will be. I can't see this turning into a retail disk, probably a 10-20 dollar game on Wiiware(maybe)/XBLA/PSN.

OH GOD. DON'T DO THAT SHIT, IT'S TOO FUCKING SOON. PLEASE.

 

Just hearing those sounds effects again was enough to get me excited.

I always had a gut feeling this was going to happen. Oh man.

 

That is amazing, and yet I have a major feeling of 'DO NOT WANT'.

 

I'll go that it'll be everything oldfags asked for, and yet still be shit.

Because progress is clawing your way out of 2D, and developing a wider cast and gameworld.
Development is not deciding that this extra dimension is too scary for you, and crawling back under your z-axis-less comfort blanket, reeking of blind rose-tinted nostalgia. It is not jettisoning the wider world you've started to create, and throwing interesting secondary characters into the dumpster.

 

Part of me says I should be happy. But for the most part, it's just an "eh." I don't see what to get excited about yet. It's just a silhouette of a logo.

 

Not all franchises have to be in 3D in order to be taken seriously. See: Kirby.

 

So when this thread reaches 400+ pages is it still going to be called "Sega's pulling a Capcom"?

I'm excited. We'll see how this goes as more media is released/leaked.

 

I believe I fixed that for you.

It's IDENTICAL to the Sonic 1 title screen, it promises to be HD. So far, it looks likely to be Sonic the Hedgehog in HD. This is pretty awesome.
