Interesting playstyle, I just can't grasp the fact that All of the characters look very remodeled, Knux just doesn't look right bulky.

So all the "speedy" gameplay takes place exclusively in a Sonic Dash minigame? For fuck's sake guys, how hard is it just to make a game where I can control my own damned pacing? They shouldn't have to designate a fucking time and place for it.

The rest of it looks as though it would be alright if it were literally anything other than a Sonic game, so other than the above it's pretty much falling within my expectations so far.

EDIT: Oh and they're doing that Bloodrayne 2 thing where you basically can't hurt most bosses unless you throw something at them? Yeah, that can get fucked too.

They're already talking about the next Sonic game after this. It's not like Lost World or the Generations formula... that's all we know.

In fact, it surprisingly isn’t. Now that you mentioned this, I must say that they already have working prototypes. I’ve seen it: it is not [Lost World] 2 and neither it follows the Generations formula. MSFT devs are quite often in contact with them in order to aid them in the process of porting/implementing subsystems with Xbox One-exclusive implementations—subsystems which are platform dependant [sic]—and this is mainly because the Durango’s Japanese documentation sucks.

But I’m afraid this is as much as I’m allowed to mention at this given time.

I doubt there's anything out there that can run 180mph, so "fastest thing alive" still seems more than apt.

You never saw me on Battle Network/Star Force release days.

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???

In all seriousness, though, wouldn't making Sonic that bloody fast make the game unplayable? I love Generations and shit, but controlling Modern Sonic at top speed is like takibg a rocket car across ice. XP

Godfuckingdamn I can't stand Sonic's voice.

You know, this is the first time I've watched a Sonic game gameplay video that hasn't left me thinking "I will play the fuck out of this."

It just looks really bland.

Sonic seriously.... SHUT UP. At least Amy doesn't sound like Minnie Mouse any more. Yeah I'm not liking the 2D platforming part. Everything looks so boring except maybe the adventure style... which looks pretty plain.

I think this is the first time ever that merely watching gameplay footage has made me legitmately angry. It's not just that this looks awful, not just that it looks virtually nothing like a Sonic game, it actually looks and feels like the same kind of tie-in shovelware you usually see from movie licenses - only Sega was somehow stupid enough to drop twenty million dollars on it.

So much for ex-Naughty Dog staff. Only hope left now is that the TV show isn't this bad.

I'm trying very hard to figure out what it is you guys found so offensive about the game. It's basically a combination of both of Unleashed's playstyles; you got your running, jumping and ring collecting, then you come to open areas where you pound on enemies.

On the subject of Dash, has anyone here put real money into it? I was wondering if some of the purchases like infinite revives for whenever you due and double rings were permanent, because they sound like decent investments. Also, should I blow off any fire souls red rings on characters or wait till I'm lucky enough to get them on the daily challenge?

Comparing to Unleashed is being pretty generous, considering it's so auto-pathed that it's actually about as deep as Sonic Dash. And for the life of me I can't fathom why bringing back any semblance of the Werehog is a good thing, especially considering even in the best case scenario it represents the genre roulette we were trying to put behind us as late as '06.

Then wherever it's not offensive it's just plain bland. Seriously this is the first time to memory music in a Sonic game has ever been so damned generic, and that was something even '06 could tout as a selling point. That's saying something.
