Wii/U Sonic Lost World

[The Speaker]

SANIC is back, this time only on Nintendo (imagine saying that twenty years ago).

It's due for release late this year.

Sonic games have been steadily improving of late, although you could argue that's not all that much of an achievement.

 

[Oneiros]

I suppose it's too much to hope for that the "Lost World" is a reference to Isla Sorna and dinosaurs will eat Sonic?

Sanic?

 

[The Speaker]

Sanic?

SANIC HEGEHOG

GOTTA GO FAST

 

[Upgrayedd]

The most amazing part is that it's obviously making money that franchise

How?!

Looks very kiddy, but the gameplay looked pretty good. The platforming sorta reminded me of the cancelled "Sonic Xtreme" game for the Saturn.

For you people who haven't seen Sonic Xtreme before...

Those changing up camera perspectives are just awful. Is it so hard to just get one consistent angle in these games?!

Can you specify whether you're talking about the gameplay footage or the footage that has clearly been done with different camera angles for the sake of the trailer.

The gameplay stuff.

Even the moment where it's side on and follows you around the half pipe seems like it will induce motion sickness.

Some of the other angles just look rank.

I don't get the need to have different angles in a Sonic game.

I'm not going to be judging the game on a few seconds of gameplay footage.

Neither was I.

 

[JR#8]

Too bad this game isn't a Sony exclusive. HBK will have nothing nice to say now.

Oh well. Game looks great and majority of people are excited for it.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

I've bought almost every Sonic console game on PS3/Wii. I don't have a WiiU but I'm not sold on this game anyhow. I think Sega have gone too far back to their roots with the whole Green Hill Zone theme. Not for me, I like the traditional platformer.

 

[Premiers04]

Looks good i reckon, will buy.

You like that post, yet you say that...

Didn't realise I even said the game was bad.

I've never even purchased a Sonic game before, but no, it's because it's not on PS3 that I think the camera angle perspectives are bad.

 

[The Speaker]

Didn't realise I even said the game was bad.

But you still decided that your one post on the game would focus on the negative. Mmmm.

It was the biggest thing that stood out to me.

If I knew that it was going to be like I had stabbed your baby then I could've said that the game looks like it has a nice sense of speed.

But it wasn't an elaborate post, so I stated what stood out the most from the trailer.

I don't get how that could possibly have been the thing that stood out most from that trailer unless you were deliberately looking for something to criticise.

I'm not even normally interested in Sonic games. But that trailer has made me interested in this game.

There were about 97 camera angle changes in the 1:20 clip, come on...

I stated that consistency would be nice, that was not consistency.

Okay, look, I could explain any number of reason why that is really not valid, but I'm not sure I feel like having a discussion at length about camera angles from a game trailer that is obviously not focused on gameplay.

I can understand cinematic camera angles for a trailer, but to say that wasn't anything that stood out is crazy since it was constant change up after constant change up.

And those that were on the gameplay side of things, looked average. I like a Sonic that has a consistent camera angle, not one's that go from 2D, to 3D, to behind the back, to somewhat side on, etc. etc. etc. Which, from that trailer, all looked there.

Maybe some of it was exaggerated for the sake of cinematic quality, but that's what's being shown and that's what I'm commenting on. Not what hasn't been seen.

 

[The Big Sauce]

It looked okay, but if it scores any higher than 7-8 out of 10 I'll be pleasantly surprised.

 

[Premiers04]

Clearly the camera angles have been exaggerated, being a trailer and all. The 2d to 3d camera swapping has been in the last few games and works really well.

The Sonic fan boy in me has this down for day 1 buy.
