Hey, I'm surprised Red Penguin didn't beat me to this... img143.imageshack.us/img143/9804/unleashedlb7.jpg[/img] Sega has announced a new Sonic Title -- Sonic Unleashed (working Title).www.sonicstadium.org/sonicnews/438/Little is known about this game, other then a few screen shots, and a promise that it'll be like Sonic and the Secret of the Rings, with some 2.5D gaming goodness thrown in. Oh, that and the plot. You better sit down for this: Sonic becomes a Wearwolf.Bet you didn't see that coming. Honestly, a lot of fans are crapping about how stupid the story sounds. Personally, I'm cool with it. You can only have Eggman kidnap the master emerald SO many times. It's nice to have something different going on, even if it's a bit silly. Frankly, I don't see how it's even all that silly to begin with. I mean, Sonic has now fought aliens, hung out in a big storybook full of genies, fought genies that turned out to be aliens, and even traveled through time so he could have commit bestiality. The series can't get any sillier. Personally, as long as the game is fun, and the nonsensical story is presented in an entertaining fashion, I'll in.

Bah, let the "fans" whine.
"BAWWWWWW, STORYLINE SO TOTALLY HAS IMPLICATIONS ON THE ACTUAL GAMEPLAY ELEMENTS OF THE GAME AND WE'LL WHINE ABOUT IT UNTIL IT'S SO LOUD WHATEVER IS REMAINING OF OUR TESTICLES WILL FALL OUT, SHRIVEL, AND DIE!"
>.>...Yeah, seriously. It makes me sick. People get so uppity about the storyline that they won't LET themselves even so much as to TRY to have fun with these games nowadays.
No, instead I'm going to whine about something gameplay related...the Secret Rings style sucked and was the most unresponsive control system I've ever used in my life there I said it.
>.>...Though I may just play it just for Sonic's "BWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" pose.
Seriously, I hope they don't phase out the normal 3d style just due to an army of indecisive whiners that don't know what they even want...
Though then again, if they're indecisive whiners, they'll whine about this, Sega'll realize they have a buncha ****s for fans, and go into the nuclear arms business, starting World War III and eventually the apocalypse.
...
BWAHHHHHHHHH!
(Edit: Jesus Christ, Redpenguin, you're turning me into you!)

The plot made me go WTF for a moment, but hey, its not surronding the chaos emeralds in plot so I'm cool for it. xD And with the rumors spreading like wildfire that ADV films has the sonic rights, we might get an interesting game with non 4kids voices. (The only 3kids voice I liked was Eggman. Shadow wasn't ear spilting. The others were annoying, but not to the point where my ear drums exploded, with the exception of Knux. Knux always made my ears bleed. Dan Green's a good VA and all, but he is not Knux.) I might be putting the bar a bit high though. *shotded*
From the youtube video RedPenguin put up, it looks like Sonic really books in this one too. I see a super Sonic screenie though, so the chaos emeralds will probably pop up in this one too.

Sonic turning into a werewolf, huh? Sounds interesting.
Oh great, Penguin, you posted an image of Super Sonic. Way to freaking go. You spoiled it for me.
*FALCON... FACEPALM!*

Shaddup, you...
>.>...
Right, I think so many games have had werewolves now that no one even cares who's copying who with em anymore. Like that one PS2 game that the annoying British guy who lost all credibility after reviewing Phantom Hourglass worships. You know the one.

Thanks for the glut of info Penguin. I knew you'd come through.
I LOVE the Werewolf photo. The Sonic Model is really nice. It has Sonic Adventure proportions, with shorter spines. The Wolf is ridiculous, but we'll see what it REALLY look in further media. Right now it looks like Mickey Mouse in "Runaway Brain."
Multiplatform, eh? Wise move, I guess. There is a built in PS3/Xbox audience, no matter how crappy Sonic 2006 was, and it's a waste to sink big money into a Wii Sonic game that can't be ported eventually. I just don't know what system to get it for. I'd prefer Nintendo, but if the PS3 LOOKS considerably better...

If I get a 360 by then, I'll get that version. Since how terribly Sega used the Wiimote in Secret Rings.
But then again, they may use/have the nunchuck option. That'd be great.

Hey, if you get a 360 with the Forza/Marvel package, I could so kick your ass at Laguna Seca!
Right, right, back on topic.
Really, if they didn't have Secret Rings on "AUTOGOGOGOGOGO!" where you had to hold a button just to keep him to sit still and if they had a bit less of a rail feeling to the level, I probably would have liked it. When I rented it, I honestly found myself playing the party mode more then the actual game.
Yeah, them rails seem to really have irked me. It made the game feel cheap.

Well, $hit. That's damn cool. I am seriously getting stoked about this.
You know, some of the other designers were talking about how excited they are about this game in the office today. When actual designers are excited about a new Sonic Game, you know Hell has frozen over.
EDIT: Now that I have read the piece, I must say that they are well-composed and intriguing, if not a bit optimist when it comes to Sonic's shade of blue and what not.
My two cents:
*The music was fine, but I thought it WAS bland. I actually really enjoy the eclectic Rock-alternative take the series has taken, and I found the trailer music bland at best.
*I love Super Sonic defeated by Eggman. It's not that I hate Super Sonic, but I think it makes the rest of the series more exciting if he isn't ALL powerful. SS should be a desperate last measure when the chips are down- that may or may not work - not Sonic's untouchable "Jesus Mode."
Also, didn't Knuckles defeat Supersonic at one point with a well-aimed fist?

Yeah, in the start of Sonic 3. Knuckles stole the chaos emeralds and therefore SOnic turned back.
And yeah, I agree about that SS shouldn't be the equivlent to Jesus mode.
