DimensionWarped Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Well, I'm afraid I can't say that the rest is wash and repeat this time. The biggest thing they got right in this game was level variance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ espeed Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Interesting. I suppose I shall ponder about procuring the funds to acquire the full version over the next few days. Speaking of purchasing, I wonder what's keeping the US PS3 version from showing up... Not that I'm choosing to purchase now, as the above text I inputted would prove otherwise.

Slingerland Posted October 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I love how you stop dead when you let go of the D-pad, regardless of what you're doing. Truly Sonic 4 how I imagined it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felik Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Lol Sonic can't have speed shoes and invincibility at the same time. At least it looks like it in playthrough video... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverbounD Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I played the demo. My thoughts: The physics in Sonic Worlds are better. The graphics are abysmal. Everything looks pasted together and are less detailed than genesis graphics (by detail I don't mean use 100s of colors). There is no doubt in my mind if this were a fan game it would be getting similar criticisms from us at SFGHQ. The homing attack is not too bad. You've got to be really close to stuff for it to work and still miss targets at times. I like the minimal graphic style they used. WTF backwards spindash sounds! WTF backwards spindash sounds!

Daniel Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I have played the demo too, but my reaction is truly the opposite. I actually pretty much like it. Alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yvarthecreatorgames Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Played it. The game is a lot of fun. better than 3 & knuckles? no. the next episodes maybe ^^. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XeroNazoBlaze Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 better than 3 & knuckles? no. the next episodes maybe ^^. The next episodes will not be enough to beat S3&K. Heck, even the whole game will not be able to beat it. I got it via WiiWare. I loved the physics of this game . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what truly bothers me the most. If they fix this and the issue with gaining momentum while rolling I think episode II will be pretty bad ass.

flame6753 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 It'd be cool if they did all three episodes in different styles. Notice how it says episode, not part. They could completely revamp the physics and get away with it. Hopefully for the better and not for the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowgoten Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 game is getting rave reviews and I have no clue why. I played the 3rd zone, acts 1-3 last night, and it was ok. The minecart segments are a copout, there's little jumping and gameplay involved, it's just an automatic make sonic go fast segment. Then there's the fucking torch game play of the 3rd act. They completely stop you to do a puzzle where you have to light up these torches in a certain way and timing, it's NOT SONIC WTF SEGA STOP.

Rawr Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I happened to be up really late yesterday because of an intense 16 hour day at school (not all classes, but a lot of HW) and so by the time I finished eating and just chilling out I decided to wait for this game. I'm really enjoying it so far, I had a lot of fun playing it and that was when I was dead tired and easily prone to being frustrated. However, the one thing that does bug me that I hope is rectified in episode 2 is that Sonic feels very...heavy. Also the spindash at times is useful and at other times it doesn't make me go fast at all, its almost like it randomly decides when it wants to make me go fast or not haha. Uncurling bothers me sometimes only because it feels unnatural for this type of game, but I also haven't actually had it cause me to get hurt yet. I like the homing attack much more than I thought I would, I end up using it more than I would have seen myself using it. The best part is that you don't really have to use it if you don't want to, though they definitely set you up to use it and its almost as if it becomes instinctual to want to use it in these sections haha. So I do. I also like if you kind of hit the enemies with a homing attack while slightly being lower than them and the chain is going upwards, you just zoom the fuck through all the enemies. Overall I am having fun, it is a pretty damn easy game though to get lives in haha. Special stages are okay too. I also like the graphics. The animation however can use some work majorly still, SEGA should let me go animate for them or something lolOLolol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowgoten Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Another stage i played had water in it, and you get put into these rooms that completely stop you, spinning sonic in the water, and you have to rotate the screen until sonic gets sucked into a little hole, it's completely dissorienting and I don't even think it's possible to avoid the spikes in the last room of this type before the end of the stage. I want to know who fucking codes these games now. Whoever it is has no regard for the genesis games in any way shape or form. Not even getting the engine to have SIMILAR physics to the genesis games is bullshit. As much as you kids want to sit here and be excited over this, the sad truth is this game is a complete mess, with a less than stellar engine powering it all. It's like sega keeps giving dimps the keys to the game and dimps just doesn't give a shit about it, they just want money. With the amount of time sega spent hyping this heap of shit up, they could've put extra care and effort into this game. I think the only nice thing I have to say about the game is the metropolis zone ripoff had quite a bit of nostalgia packed into it. The artwork is nice, but a tad bland unfortunately. AND 3D MODELS DOES NOT A GOOD SONIC GAME MAKE If you're still on the fence about purchasing this game, don't. If you still are after that statement, download the demo and see for yourself, or just pirate it. EDIT: And I know I'm going to get a lot of crap for these last 2 posts, but I'm tired of it, all the reboots, all the terrible rehashes, all the new characters. Sega can take all these things and shove it up their asses, I'll take that mushroom hill 3d remake ANY DAY. I guess some of the anger comes from them tacking on the number 4 at the end of the title and parading this game as the true sequel everyone has been waiting for. You guys can't seriously tell me, man this is really the spiritual successor to 1-3. It's a half assed attempt at getting my money and unfortunately sega doesn't win this round.

For instance, you can just do &t=20s to link to 20 seconds in the video. Yay, cliffhangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
