And it's not an arcade game where your money literally does translate into how many lives you can get either. I don't get the point of this, you can restart the level as many times as you want on a home console, sans the continue points. Either way, it doesn't affect the experience for anybody else, so if somebody wants to not lose their check points that badly, it's their money to throw at the screen.
Offtopic but speaking of which is he ok? I heard SoA is going all Headless Horseman around the office building and firing anyone in sight for a "Restructuring". Unless thats just another first @ fluffy kittens thing. :specialed:
To be fair, it doesn't really matter if it's just a pre-order DLC. If they wanted to charge for it post-release? That's another story. :v: It's just an added incentive at this point, as really lame as it is though. (Better than locking content like the NiGHTS stuff behind pre-orders)
As much as some may want him fired (why?), he's still around. I'd imagine most of the positions getting canned are ones considered redundant. Means more work for less people and not much different pay! MURRIKA! :specialed:
Is it just me, or do I think we're gonna get the demo for Sonic Lost World tomorrow on the 3DS/Wii U eShop? With all the Sonic-related announcements we've been getting this week (The Omochao DLC on Monday, Sonic in Smash Bros. 4 on Tuesday, and Sonic Boom CG series announced on Wednesday), you'd think Sega would release the demo as the next big surprise for tomorrow.
Omochao DLC announcement wasn't really an announcement, just something stores started putting on their site. Smash Bros announcement came from Nintendo, and was yesterday because that was when they had the Nintendo Direct. The Sonic Boom announcement is the only announcement that came from Sega this week.
Unlike Ken Balough, I've never seen anyone shit talk Aaron Webber. So to me, a better question isn't "why?", it's "who?" I doubt SEGA will ever fire him. That would be a stupid as hell move.
Looking at more of the videos, I keep hoping to be impressed by the level design, but it all just seems to be attempts to wrap very linear paths round different surreal shapes so that it gives the illusion of looking complex and interesting.
So has there been any word on the length of this game? We have seen a few levels, but I hope there will be more levels then Sonic Generations... I'm expecting for a game called 'lost world' there will be plenty of zones AKA colours, not like Generations where there was only two acts per zone...
If what I read somewhere was right it sounds like 6 worlds with 8 levels each, with 4 of em being real levels and 4 of them being mini acts/missions.
Well thats a sigh of relief, reguardless of anyones personal opinions on anybody in PR losing a job now a days really sucks. Hopefully SoA didn't fire anybody we know. Wonder how Ken is doing?...
I think this game has about as many levels as Colors so place your yard stick somewhere around there for an idea of game length, then add more considering there might be some extra things we don't know about yet.
Sonic certainly hasn't picked up any of Mario's plumbing secrets. Spoiler We've seen some of this before, but there's a new cutscene and some map footage. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrXzsLdfkDg[/youtube] Spanish dub confirmed. Will probably have the same number of language options as Generations.
Actually, Sega of Spain is weird and sent out review copies really early. Nobody outside of people who can get a review copy in Spain has the game. Also either nobody in Spain knows what embargo means or Sega of Spain didn't set one. Another early Spanish video: Spoiler http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naz_mfXZCEM So if you want to avoid spoilers, now is the time to stop visiting this thread.
Darn it, just when I was wondering where this thread went from all the Sonic Boom talk, spoilers are abound. O : < Time to bail faster than when Gene pulled that cannon out of nowhere.
If fact, it was not Sega of Spain ( that sadly was dismantiled with the big layoff of last year) but Nintendo who gave review copys to a few small sites and youtube users, something that puzzles me as they have not sent any for bigger established sites ( I write in 2 of them and none had got it, and also the biggest spanish sonic site who didn't have one too). Nintendo Spain is weird. I've always heard of my bosses that it's very hard they give review copies to any sites, even if professional and established, but they now give it to half-pint blogs and youtubers?
