Sonic The Hedghog Xbox 360 Playable DEMO!!

But then Batman Begins came out, and that was wonderful, IMO. I believe this is Sonic's 'Batman Begins' to the series.

 

A new next-gen 2D game would be Sonic's Batman Begins. This is Sonic Adventure 3.

 

I like how every game SINCE Sonic Adventure 2 has been "Sonic Adventure 3" :|

 

The Sonic Adventure games were decent anyway, so I fail to see why "Sonic Adventure 3" would be a bad thing. The 3D ones only really went downhill with Sonic Heroes and Shadow. Fair enough, the cameras on the Adventure games were a bit buggy, but after watching the video of this game, they seem to have fixed the camera up pretty well.

 

Heroes wasn't as good as the Adventure games, yeah. Was a bit disappointing, but the game was still pretty good for what it was (and Metal Sonic mkII = the secks). Shadow I actually liked a LOT. Felt a lot like SA2, tbh. It seems like every time someone says "Sonic Adventure 3" it's supposed to be some kind of terrible insult, but I honestly find them just as fun as the original games.

 

Yeah, I loved Shadow the Hedgehog, as a standalone game, the gameplay was the only saving factor, though. It was great fun.

 

Well, I think the camera seems "fixed" BECAUSE they slowed things down on purpose -- otherwise, it's possible the demo may have been too buggy to release in its current state otherwise.

 

Orchestra is the reason why a lot of shitty music exists out there today. So if you diss orchestra, you "diss" all forms of music out there today.

Rock/Alternative = Mozart (complex bass melodies)
Emo = Beethoven (moonlight is a great example)
Pop/Music-that-is-"in" = Bach (Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 features a melody people can remember, thus everyone remembers how Hanson's songs went. :P )

Personally, it truly fits with the game since the Sonic games have always revolved around rock beats/jazz. The techno music in Sonic Riders was a challenge for some gamers due to the new style of music used, although a dance beat was used in Sonic 3's Ice Cap Zone.

Rather than play the same game and over and over again, I strongly agree with WiteoutKing's opinions to look at this new game as "a new game," rather than part of a series. Take a look at how improved Sonic Team has made their games over time. Compare "Sonic the Hedgehog" (Genesis) with "Sonic the Hedgehog" (360/PS3).

Yeah, going into music, what of it? :P

 

I agree. I love all of the 3D Sonics, including Shadow. They were extremely fun to play. However, SA and Heroes stand out for me, because they really captured the look, sound, and feel of the series in their level designs and gameplay (and of course, soundtrack). Shadow's radical different direction I could handle because it was a spin-off. However, it's a bit too much for me to see them jacking the storyline and atmosphere this much for a main series game. It just doesn't feel right. I am not disputing the gameplay won't be awesome; I'm certain it will be. But I was really looking forward to finally seeing a return to some serious Sonic feel, and naturally I am a bit let down in that regard.

 

There must be _some_ way of downloading it directly to a PC without having to download it to the X360 first. Perhaps finding out how the X360 downloads it, and sending a request from a PC in such a way that it thinks it's coming from a real X360

If I had a X360, I'd connect it up to my LAN and use a packet sniffer on a PC as I started the download process. Hopefully I'd be able to capture the request the X360 sends to the server, and then maybe write a little C++ program to replicate that request on PC...

Back on topic here, perhaps video game stores will have a demo of Sonic 360 running on their demo units in the near future.

 

u woodnt b abl 2 c*shot dead*

I'm getting this in some shape or form as soon as I can. I don't care about not feeling Sonic-y. What ever happened to Final Fantasy? Whatever happened to the crystals? That was a change. =P

Personally, I think this story line is going to rock me severely. I don't like the same stroy they've used for the last 7 games. "Destroy Eggman or you'll die with the rest of the world." No, plz. no. That's why my fan-game's story will deviate from the classic storyline. I want something new, not stale confetti being thrown about.

If you can't tell, I have very high hopes for this game. Especially since I saw Tails in that Emerald Coast redo. =D

 

I aggree 100% with Guess_Who. He said everything I wanted to on the matter and then some.

Those are Sol Emeralds. Sol Emeralds = Solaris. Mephiles, Silver, and obviously Blaze therefore are from an alternate dimesnion, that dimension being Solaris. MACH POINT.[/quote]

That image is from a recent CulT post that disected the demo and its contents. That post was mine. Yes, Ryoga, I, your "new best friend," am FlightPrevails on CulT, the guy you argued with over Tails's gender.

 

Heh cool, I now have an idea about what the Sol Emeralds look like. Should help in my fangame. =P

 

^Check the Sol Emeralds article on Wikipedia. They have the sprites from Sonic Rush.

 

Why are there 8 emeralds? Aren't there only 7?

 

One seems to be a multicolor emerald. Neat.

 

^OH! Yeah, I hadn't considered that yet.
