Naoshi Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 ESRB rated it E10+ "Animated Blood" ...Ehhh? EDIT: This was in the trailer for those who missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminence Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 For some reason, Sonic's transformation into a werewolf causes his shoes to grow cleats... and to have the weird sock-things that come out of them look like something Dracula would wear. The question is... why would a werewolf need cleats? Conspiracy. EDIT: Has it ever been confirmed as to why he turns into a werewolf? xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ila Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Dark emerald energy or some stupid reason. Geez, have you guys become so accecpting of crap that you didn't even notice the shitty framerate for the day sections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonXVI Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 I'll admit, the Werewolf sections don't actually look as awful as they thought I would be, but I did have a pretty damn low expectation of them (Why are they ever there?) But at the end of the day, I'm a sucker for repetitive combat button masherry (Ala Dynasty Warriors), so *if* by some miraculous reason they accidentally make it fun, it's another thing about this game I could potentially tolerate. As for the running sections? They're all starting to look identical. Aside from the colour, there isn't really much to set the Chinese level against the (Greek?) one we saw in the previous trailer. Same straight linear paths, same chased-by-a-big-robot section, same unimaginative enemies (WHAR are the gloriously imagined badniks of olde?), same jump-across-something-and-hit-a-spring, same tracks of grind-pipes allowing you to hop between them. etc. Whar are the unique gimmicks for each level? And why are those ruddy rockets back? (Ok, I get it, It's China... Fireworks... etc.) As for the slowdown, I'd argue it's probably more their video capturing than the actual game itself. Even so, I wouldn't imagine the game actually runs like that come release time - Although I'd laugh for about 12 weeks solid if it did. And as always, Trailers, shmailers. If they release a demo as they did Sonic the Hedgehog, that'll do the talking more than their fancy pants, badly captured footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 What, it really plays at that framerate? I just assumed it was a shitty video... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ila Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Notice how in the video the werewolf sections play at a neat 30 fps. Anyway to balance out my negativity: I think the werewolf sections could be fun to play, given the button mashy nature of it, but the concept still sucks Palin's dick. I think the smartest thing that was done for the day sections is the side step manuever. That (along with a total engine revamp, not sucking, and more not sucking) would have made the mach speed sections in 2k6 that much more fun. And who knows, maybe the framerate in the day sections is just moving so incredibly fast that the video capture just can't capture the remaining 15-45 frames per second. Or maybe something fucked up along development since http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14242719/sonic-unleashed/videos/sonic_unleased_trailer_061608.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 I hate to break this to you guys, but the Wii warewelf might be even stretchier. Notice how his arms stay that length just because he is hanging from a wall. I have a feeling wereristar's (name courtousy of Sef) arms just might be made of those gooey hand things that you can buy out of the bubblegum type vending machines but my parents would always get mad at me when I would since wherever they stuck they left a permanently darkened spot that only came out through hours of scrubbing. Also eeeeeeew, aliasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Look on the bright side. Since SEGA has fully accepted the ridiculousness of the Werehog's anatomy, they've opened the door for all sorts of merchandise. Seriously though, it's like they're trying to make it dumber now. Those arms are, like, four Sonics in length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Frenzy Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 6 minutes, 40 seconds. Why do I feel this is going to be laaaarge. Although moon and sky is pretty. But if it is a wii image, it is for sure a prerendered image as background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Rat Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 I'm glad Sega has finally decided to make a new Altered Beast game starring Plastic Man... Oh.. wait... Well, at least there's that new Wonder Boy game for the Wii... Oh... wait... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonXVI Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 I'd laugh if they snap off, or become Sentient by the end of the game.and just leave him. It almost looks like a rigging accident, the kind of thing that happens when you don't meld your vertices properly to the bones. Doesn't actually look like (From that screenshot) that the whole stretchy arm thing is intentional But... it is. On one side, "Stretchy Arm Sonic"'ll make a brilliant excuse to thousands of deviant art artists to come up with increasingly more disturbing images.

SefirothDB Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Like they've needed excuses in all these past years ;P Also I love how the lighting system they've been pimping all the time is completely absent from the Wii version. Then again that version was being outsourced iirc so it's a different engine altogether probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ila Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Hedgehog Engine is nothing but a fancy way to say burst processing. Basically its just taking normal regular processes and attempting to render them as necessary with SPECTACULAR FAILURE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssbfalcon Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Besides that, something else seems odd about that picture, but I can't really put my finger on it...
