- Sonic Unleashed Gameplay Footage
- Posted 9 months, 3 weeks ago by Coop
With few exceptions, which coincidentally found themselves on Nintendo consoles, the last few Sonic titles have been flat out horrid. Like, crazy bad. Seriously, complete crap. Like, don't even go there bad. Anime chicks crying on Sonic bad. Reinventing the word bad, bad. Do I need to go on?
People have spent years discussing how Sega could save the falling franchise, and it appears that all of our criticism hasn’t fallen on deaf ears. A video has popped up of the newest Sonic title in development, Sonic Unleashed.
Just like everyone else I was reluctant to get my hopes high, but after watching the video my expectations are through the roof. Here it is:
Holy shit.
Part of me wants to think this is a joke just so I don't get too excited, but holy shit does that game look good. The graphics are so smooth and the gameplay looks unbelievable and fast, just as it should. Sega is finally taking the franchise back to its roots and making the Sonic game we have begged them to make.
It looks like most of the gameplay will be in 2D with 3D flourishes and the occasional “behind the back view” that became popularized in later Sonic titles. Hopefully it will stay far away from serious plotlines and characters that aren’t Sonic, but I wouldn't be too upset if Tails and Knuckles make appearances.
Still no word on what systems it will be available for or when it will come out, but odds are we will see it on the shelves this holiday season for the Xbox 360 and PS3. It looks like the Sonic series isn't dead after all.

Yeah, but those parts were good and there wasn't enough of them.
Apparently I'm int he minority of people that isn't impressed. It looks just like the platforming parts of Sonic Heroes, Sonic Rivals, or Sonic Adventure.
YAY! The platforming wonder is back! (God I hope this isn't fake!)
Screw that, it's back up for good.
deleted video. FUSega.
