Interesting concept so far. Now I have 2 games to look forward to at the end of 2010. :D

Bam.



Sonic looks shorter.

The next generation of Chao?

This game looks to be quite interesting. I'm waiting to see more, so we'll see what happens.

You know what this game reminds me of for some reason?



No reason other than the birds and the aliens, but still...

Also I wonder is this is part of the storybook series...

So if you guys noticed in the press release, it mentions a boost gauge.

Banking on Sonic Rush/Unleashed gameplay at this point.

Sorry I was too busy staring at your freaky sig

If it plays like Unleashed did in the Daytime Stages, I wouldn't be surprised. We've been asking for that for a long time; could this be SEGAs creative answer?

From what I hear too, the Aliens seem to give the player unique abilities. Possibly a homage to the Element Shields?

That was my first thought as well. Hopefully, it's not part of the storybook series, especially after Black Knight.

I'll bet they function like star bits in Mario Galaxy except with power ups. While Sonic is moving, the player uses the Wiimote/Stylus to grab them and mix combinations of them giving him different moves and shit.

Already looking better than Sonic 4 at least!

Oh good, nobody needs to make a petition. But those eyes, man.

If this did play anything like Unleashed daytime, with the trippy, colourful, cheery art style seen in the trailer, I am going to be all over this. Hopefully, the boost bar may be limited to one of them Wisp types, seeing as they apparently give different powers. Who knows.

Wisp sounds familiar, somehow.

Sonic Colours confirmed for UK. =P

I'm trying hard to not get excited over 20 seconds of trailer CGI but...damned if I don't think this has potential.

I've actually recently thought up a gameplay mechanic similar to this a few months back...this could get interesting. Keeping my eye on this one.

(Plus the music sounds like what you'd expect from a Sonic game, so it's awwwright.)

[JakeyBoy]

You guys have a different idea than I for what the Wisps will do. I thought that finding them would be the missions in the game (sort of like Spyro games), and when you have enough of a certain element you can unlock different paths on the overworld. Though a drill? That's totally not been used in any recent Mario game to find alternate paths.

So it'll be like Kirby 64.

Help me edit this wiki article!!

Also I'm all for Sonic Unleashed Daytime gameplay again!

You haven't played Galaxy 2, have you? =P

Two opinions here.

First, for the love of God, Sega, what is it with you and gameplay-free trailers of late? I can surmise absolutely nothing from this trailer about how well the game actually plays. Sure, it looks nice, but since that's hardly Wii-calibur graphics, it's obviously pre-rendered, and I stopped banking entirely on pre-rendered trailers ever since Square-Enix pumped out the umptillionth such trailer. Please include actual gameplay. Thanks!

I mean, really guys? Looking better than Sonic 4? There's literally nothing in here to look better than Sonic 4!

Second, if this really is just Unleashed-type gameplay, I doubt I'll bite. I got tired of the FASTFASTFAST trial-and-error non-platformers quite a while ago. If Sega wasn't pumping out Sonic 4 at the same time, I'd probably be crying foul... I mean, bully for all the people who like Unleashed, but it's not really my cup of tea.

That being said, these "alien buddies" (assuming I got the right details when I skimmed the press release) could be interesting gameplay twists, allowing for tons of exploration, just like the best Sonic titles... but knowing how Unleashed-style gameplay goes, I sincerely doubt that potential will be fully used so much as "USE THIS FRIEND HERE TO UNLOCK A SECRET PATH THAT'S VERY SHORT AND WINDS YOU BACK ON THE MAIN PATH IN LESS THAN FIFTEEN SECONDS". That'd be a huge waste. Sorry, but until Sega acts upon my first gripe above, I'm going to assume the worst here.
