Crowbar Man Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) Not sure if this needs its own thread but here is the trailer for Sonic: Lost Worlds for those who haven't seen it yet: Sonic: Lost Worlds (Wii U) Personally I'm mixed but as with anything Sega shows off with Sonic you need to be cautious anyways. It screams high speed Mario Galaxy in presentation (and maybe some Sonic Xtreme if anybody remembers that canceled game). Which could be either a good or bad thing The new enemies look terrible though. Also terrible music in the trailer Edited June 3, 2013 by Crowbar Man Quote

Also terrible music in the trailer Sonic Colours had a terrible main theme / trailer theme (IMO) but the rest of the soundtrack was fantastic. The enemies do look pretty dang silly, but the gameplay intrigues me. I'ma keep my eye on it. Quote

Assassin's Creed 3 did the same thing in their trailer. As for the enemies, I don'd mind them at ALL! They look like enemies you'd see in a Genesis Sonic game. What would you prefer? A humanoid like on Sonic '06? Yet another fucking hedgehog? As for gameplay, it does seem like a blatant copy of Mario Galaxy; floating islands above a planet, each with their own gravitational force. Looks good though! As opposed to Mario games (yeah, THANKS Nintendo...), this series actually needs to be "brought back to the basics." Quote

The one thing I'm a bit surprised about is the graphics seem to be a downgrade from previous games. I honestly don't care all that much about graphics, though. Also, the music isn't even Sonic. That's the instrumental of "Cinema" by Benny Benassi. Quote
Crowbar Man Posted June 3, 2013 Author Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) They look like enemies you'd see in a Genesis Sonic game. What would you prefer? A humanoid like on Sonic '06? In every single Genesis game it was Robotnik/Eggman (who is technically humanoid), so not sure which Genesis game you played where the villain was something other than Robotnik/Eggman. And even though he was really creepy and too real looking, Robotnik/Eggman was still in 06, but that game had so many other issues that it doesn't really matter. Eggman being a villain in 06 wasn't its problem. I don't see any problems with him continuing to be the villain, just as Bowser/Koopa continues to be the villain for Mario.

Garpocalypse Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 After seeing how some of this game looks like Sonic Xtreme I guess I have to get it now! Just have to figure out how to justify getting a Wii u... Quote

I meant artistically speaking. Actually they remind me of Mega Man bosses mostly. I just meant I could picture them being in a Sonic game. Quote
Ethan Rex Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Yeah, I thought the trailer was a little cheesy, but it had an old school Sonic feel to it that makes me excited for the game. Now for the eventual hype and fear of disappointment Quote
Abadoss Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 My first thought is vomit inducing game play. It's hard enough to keep the chunks down with Mario Galaxy. This looks like it is just going to blow it out everywhere. Better play with a bucket nearby. Quote
Mirby Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 I, for one, am quite excited for this. Can't wait to hear more details. Quote
Abadoss Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 you never played Descent, did you Actually, I did. Not very much of it, because I got bored of slamming into random walls in the tunnels and there wasn't a great deal to do on the outside... wait, that was Terminal Velocity... nevermind. Quote
Garrett Williamson Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 For those of you who haven't seen this yet: http://www.sonicretro.org/2013/06/plenty-of-new-sonic-lost-world-gameplay-footage/ I'm actually really beginning to look forward to this game. It's looking really nice. Quote
Brandon Strader Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 This looks like the single best 3D Sonic game of all time. ALL time. Better than EVERY 3D iteration of Sonic that has ever been made. Quote
Crowbar Man Posted June 8, 2013 Author Posted June 8, 2013 I have a Sonic: Lost World thread :/ I'll go post those there I guess Quote
Crowbar Man Posted June 8, 2013 Author Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) Gmixer posted this in the Wii U thread: http://www.sonicretro.org/2013/06/plenty-of-new-sonic-lost-world-gameplay-footage/ Now, being cautiously optimistic, but this is looking pretty good! The 1st level kind makes me nauseous a little but maybe because i'm watching and not playing, but the later level that is more 2.5 D looks pretty cool. I also like that they've actually made his default run into more of a slower jog so there is more focus on platforming, UNLESS you want to just run then you can hold R. Kinda like best of both words catering to both types of Sonic fans Edited June 8, 2013 by Crowbar Man Quote

Garrett Williamson Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 Yeah lots of people are thinking a Super Mario Galaxy vibe. But after everyone saw the Desert level they knew it was different. Additionally, does this not remind everyone a lot of Sonic X-treme? Pretty freaking sexy. Quote
PROTO·DOME Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 you never played Descent, did youI don't get motion sick and I had to take breaks playing this. Quote
Abadoss Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) Wait... did Sonic just ? It's this a follow-up to Sonic Colors?I must say that I am really digging the music, though. That Desert Ruins track is sexy. Some of the gimmicks were pretty clever too. Using those rolling enemies to hold down switches was a nice touch. Edited June 8, 2013 by Abadoss Quote
Melbu Frahma Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 you never played Descent, did you Descent made people sick? O_o Huh, I guess I could see where it might... To the game: This is actually the first Sonic game in many, many years I've even vaguely wanted to play. It looks like they're keeping touchpad usage toned pretty far down, which also makes me happy. Quote
Garrett Williamson Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 I think Sonic began to truly catch my attention again when Sonic Generations released. Sonic Unleashed actually got me hyped too, honestly. It wasn't as good as I was hoping, but Unleashed, in my opinion, really didn't suck. Sonic Colors bored me to tears, unfortunately. With what has been said, this honestly does seem to be a follow up to Sonic Colors though , but so far it's looking way better and way more interesting and fun. Quote
OceansAndrew Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 wow this looks pretty fun! I think the boss guys are charming, and I bet I could play this game with my son. Quote
