    Ok, we finally have some more info about next-gen sonic in the form of this trailer (thanks saz), and these are my personal opinions of it.

    Nice opening

    [​IMG]
    Wow, very nice opening ;)

    [​IMG]
    OK, now I can tell they've spent a lot of money on this :D

    [​IMG]
    WOOO GO GO SONIC SAVE THE PRINCESS \o/

    [​IMG]
    Oh yes :)

    [​IMG]
    Oooh, now we're onto some gameplay footage! Hmm Sonic running down a straight road, nice blur effects.

    [​IMG]
    Being chased by some lava monster? Heh, bit reminisant of the Killer Whale bit in Sonic Adventure. Still, looks nice.

    [​IMG]
    New zone now, hmm looks pretty enough, but what's with those badniks =/ Doesn't look very sonicy, looks more like a scene out of Unreal Tournament. Hey maybe it'll pick up.

    [​IMG]
    That looks cool, underwater gameplay making a comeback :)

    [​IMG]
    Damn you black Sonic clone :P THIS IS MEANT TO BE A CLASSIC STYLE GAME. Well, maybe he'll have classic style roles?

    Oh wait, we're back to GTA themed stuff with shadow again -_- wonderful. A car with a rocket launcher. I mean, wtf :)

    Then again this scene did make me think of something. Imagine if, say 12-14 years ago, someone had said "Hey wouldn't it be cool if in one level, Sonic had a car in a zone?", I would've probably said yes. Yet when I see it in this game I think "ARGH they're ruining sonic again!". Maybe that says something about my mindset? Hmm...

    [​IMG]
    Aaah, our friend Crackahog ;) Nice level design again, I wonder if he'll be doing more old skool stuff.

    [​IMG]
    >_> Wow... missle deflecting.... that sure is classic @_@

    [​IMG]
    Oh look, it's chaos zero made out of lava.

    [​IMG]
    GG.

    And that concludes my review for today.

    That "lava monster" is probably Iblis, ie. the devil. :P

    But Sonic is the Iblis Trigger... The Iblis must be more of a power to control, compared to a monster.

    Any idea as to whether or not this is coming out for the PC?

    All I know is that I am finding myself loving these new designs, and I want this game. Nowish. It looks to be the best 3D Sonic since Adventure.

    At first I didn't care much for the design of the newer Sonic games, but this one may be good.

    Too bad I got to get another system to do it.
     
  10. "PRESENTED BY RON..." is all I could get. First part is definitely "presented by," though.

    This looks pretty cool - I see they've subtly redesigned Eggman again, though. Oh well. The princess chick is pretty graphics and all, but really doesn't look like she belongs in a Sonic game. Nonetheless, this is shaping up well, in my opinion. Looks like we've got a pretty cool game coming up.

    EDIT: I figured out exactly what it is that looks so different about Dr. Eggman - is it just me, or does he look way more like Prof. Gerald now?

    You're right. Doh, I wouldn't be surprised if it actually were "PRESENTED BY SONIC TEAM".

    Nothing that concerns this place in the least.
    *Looks at the picture of Robotnik*

    Umm, all I have to say is...

    WHAT THE HELL?

    Drum Maestro? No, it wasn't possible.
    SlimFast Dr. Robotnik, and Shadow's 'game' brought into the mix.

    Sega didn't let my expectations down. Sadly.

    Okay, it's official. I'm done with this game. Period. I already had little hope for this piece of crap, in the first place, and then they just went and screwed everything up. When this game comes out, I'm not even going to bother wasting my money on it (despite already having an X-Box 360). Instead, I'm just going to sit there, and play Sonic 1, in memory of how good Sonic USED to be.

    So it's really just Sonic Adventure 3, gotcha.

    Well, the trailer is certainly ... foreboding, but we just have to look on the bright side and hope the gameplay makes up for it. The music was pretty good too.

    I'm going to bitchslap everyone who moans about this not being like the old games. No crap, it's not like the old games. We left that behind 12 years ago, get over it.

    I'm also going to cut out the tongues of anyone fond of Robotnik's redesign. I'm sorry, but that is NOT Robotnik. *huff* *puff* *huff* *puff*

    I need to lie down for a minute here *still reeling from seeing "Robotnik"*


    EDITNOTE: Sorry about that, I'm just pissy about old Eggy getting a makeover. Anyway, I'm still buying the game. I'll just cry while playing it.

    Oh, and to all those whining about the "old games", at least notice that Robotnik is the bad guy again.

    Suprisingly, I actually like Eggman's new design.

    Oh wow O_O I am rarely ever taken in by graphics, but this just threw my morals out and made me drool. Eggers is looking a little thin, but I have no opinion on that so far. The classic Sonic style stages look great. I'm not too sure if I like the idea of Shadow having to rely on other things yet again, however. But this definitly loks like something I'll at least rent.

    The graphics look good, but I'll have to wait till its downloaded to see. As for eggman, hes just gone aneorexic

    EDIT: Ok, I just finished downloading the video and converted it to NSV. Basicly I just took a 25.5MB download and crunched it down to 2.3MB. The video quality is still pretty damn good, but the size of the video was crunched down to 320x240. You can download it here and it works in WinAMP
