Sonic Lost World - Debut Trailer

[jords]

The deadly six invades green hill, sonic runs them off, i guess they can fly? (look at the end of trailer)
Sonic and tails go chase them and find the lost world.

That's how i see it.

[Badnik Mechanic]

Maybe SEGA thought the whole world was in Australia or Japan today?

 

I for one welcome Australian Japan day.

Hogfather originally made the image, so you'd have to consult him.

So he's the one I buy hype tickets from...? OK, will do. :-p

I do so hope we get at least one other playable character.

[Milo]

Can you guys not see?

 

*long post*

 

....nah. I think this would be a better fit though.

 

[SuperLink]

I'd like to remind everyone that the parkour and wall running elements means that the amount of different paths you can take is probably dramatically increased. Since there's no boost I imagine the exploration aspect will be a lot better too.

 

This looks linear, but I don't think it'll be nearly as linear as Sonic Unleashed-Generations.

It'll prolly have more alt paths than Adventure games too.

B-but we don't even know if Knuckles is in the game! D=

[Babymario26]

Is sonic running in his figure 8? really liked that running style i hope they brought it back.(still kinda looks like classic sonic's generation running style) the game play is really cool, it looks like speed is a reward again (tails almost confirmed?).

Anyone else digging the Super Peel Out Running animation?

[Nepenthe]

Kinda late on this (the joys of being on a tablet): While we can disagree on the enjoyment gained from multiple characters, I don't understand the lack of empathy over the issue. The characters have fans who naturally like them, so clearly they want to see them and play as them. They also have potential to contribute both to narrative and gameplay by way of their unique qualities. Sure, we don't need them, but fuck, we don't need 3D either if Colors' success is anything to go by. It's not about necessity; it's about enjoyment.

[Diogenes]

Anyone else digging the Super Peel Out Running animation?

SO MUCH.

Just like a week or two ago I was lamenting how they don't stylize his running animation anymore.

This is definitely not my ideal Sonic game but there's a lot that seems almost as if it were made for me.

my picture's worth 1,000 words, babes

On another note (and this hasn't been brought up too much yet, but I think I need to say it)...is it really so wrong for a Sonic game to have one playable character? Multiple playables don't inherently make the game better. If they're well-integrated and fit in well with Sonic's gameplay, that's one thing, but I don't see how them not being there makes the game any more shallow or less fun. Looking at Sonic in this game, his move-set seems to be built for him to take on any challenge these levels throw at him, and the levels, in turn, seem solidly built around his moves. Do we really need anyone else? I guess it would be nice to have Tails or Knuckles playable with their own moves and I could see why someone would want them in, but...why should this be a sticking point?

 

I guess I'm more complacent than some of us here with this series, but...I don't get why people have been complaining about this sort of thing so much. Sonic 4 is one thing, but when the gameplay of most recent games, including this one, seem designed with Sonic in mind more so than anyone else, I don't see what makes it such a problem.

 

But then again, we don't even know if there won't be more playables yet for sure, so...

Yes, actually. I do think it's wrong for Sonic games to only have one playable character. That's because the whole reason multiple playable characters were removed in the first place was due to knee jerk reactions to unfinished and generally mediocre games. No one has ever said or even vaguely implied that multiple playable characters inherently make a game better. That's bullshit. It's something people want to see because people want to see it.

 

The Sonic series isn't something that I care about just because of Sonic himself. I like a lot of the other characters. I want them to be playable. If time and effort is actually put into them then they can do nothing but enhance the experience. Why is this suddenly a bad thing?

Not too concerned about linearity yet. As pointed out by a forumer on Retro, if you look slightly to the right of the main path you can see springs that obviously rocket you elsewhere. Hopefully that will remain the case later in the game, and will lead to even more paths in later levels.

TRUE SAWNIK FANS SAY YOU ARE WRONG!

 

 

You do get my joke, right?

[BakingBluePotatoe]

... I... I need a job... so... I can get a Wii U... O_O

 

3Ds version better NOT be Dimped! >.>

3ds trailer, plz Sega?

 

Seriously though, this looks AWESOME! O_O

 

and yep, I DEFIANTLY see the throwback to the X-Treme concepts...

[Sean]

I just want to play as a not-shitty version of Tails again. I always found him fun to use whereas I honestly don't feel that much toward Sonic himself. It's like how everyone wants to play as Luigi over Mario in the 3D games.

[Mark1]

Was that trailer all Wii U or did it include 3DS footage?

[turbojet]

I just want to play as a character that isn't a blatant Sonic clone with two tails(gameplay wise). Honestly, if they just gave Sonic the wallrunning ability and gave Tails, Knuckles, or whoever something different and unique, I'd be cool. 

[Cola]

All Wii U.

 

3DS would probably have some sort of border around it. And, y'know, not be HD.

[Gabz Girl]

It's obviously all Wii U footage, though hopefully we'll get a 3DS trailer soon. And HOPEFULLY the 3DS version will be a good standalone game which is not made by Dimps.

[WarioBone]

Wo-how, Sega!  That looks pretty fucking cool.  I'm getting tons of Galaxy vibes from this, which is even better.

 

Look like Sonic Team's thinking outside the box with this one.  Good on ya, mates.  Looking at the way Sonic plays, I could very easily see Tails or Knuckles, or, hell, even Amy in his place, which is something I couldn't say about Generations or, really, even Colors.

 

If Sonic Team doesn't screw the pooch somehow, I could see this being that game that really pulls Sonic out of the murky puddle '06 and the others put him in.

[Space☆Tomoki]

If we get Solo Sonic again, I don't mind, since Sonic's my favorite character, but it sucks for fans of the other characters, though.

Was that trailer all Wii U or did it include 3DS footage?

Just the Wii U version.

 

EDIT: Ninja'd.

I'm surprised that no one compared the game to Sonic Heroes yet. All the levels will be on top of a bottomless pit (not that it'll be easy to fall into that cough).

I agree mostly.

 

Removing characters from the game to stay on the safe side was a decent move from SEGA back then when they clearly had no idea how to design a game and needed to start from basics again, but now they're just still playing it safe because they think people hate the characters themselves and not the shitty mechanics that came with them. I pray that someday SEGA realise why people liked playing as Tails and Knuckles in the first place, and hopefully the feedback they got from S4Ep2 (people wanted to play as Tails alone or leading) and Sonic 1 Taxman edition have given SEGA a better idea of what people like out of playable characters.

 

I wouldn't count Tails and Knuckles out of this. I don't think it's too likely, but I think it's more likely than Generations because they seem perfect for this environment.
