Well, since Sammy's been out of the picture, things have doing alright with Sega, so there's hope yet. |

I see. Well personaly, I like it when they try to go more realisitic with it! It's HOT that way XD LOL But in all seriousness (because Sonic IS serious business), I don't mind that they want to go toward a more cartoony look. However...stretchy arms doesn't equal cartoony. It equals disturbing. LOL I am egar to play this game though, regardless of any...unusual developments. Aww...that video doesn't want to play for me I even installed the upgrade flash thingy it recomended.

Yeah, I myself found the realistic design in Next-Gen really cool myself. Thing is, a lot of Sonic fans who like Sonic's classic games on the Genesis more don't really like Sonic looking realistic. One friend of mine told me that he thought Eggman's Next-Gen design was kickass, as well as the realistic look for his robots and mechs, but other then that, he didn't really like the overall game's visual design. He preferred the more surreal sort of look that the Sonic series has always had.
Cartoon characters' ability to stretch their limbs to ridiculous limits has been around for such a long, long, looooooong time. So I wouldn't say it's disturbing. It DOES equal cartoony. But as surreal as Sonic's world is, at least the laws of physics are still applied. Giving any of the Sonic characters (at least in the video game universe) the ability to ridiculously stretch their arms like they ate the Gum Gum Fruit is a no-no. Especially Sonic. Hell, I even irked when Shadow was able to stretch himself somewhat in Shadow the Hedgehog, like he was made of f###ing elastic!!
Yeah, that happens to me sometimes too. EDIT: Attention, people in the UK! Here's a good deal for the PS2 copy of Sonic Unleashed! You lucky gits. =P |

Huh... all I could think when I saw Robotnik's Next-Gen design is that he looked incredibly lame. I mean, really. I honestly thought that was his worst design ever. I'm partial to the classic iteration and/or the Adventure era design. I hate it when they try to go realistic, because really, that's not what Sonic is about. Sonic is commiting an absolute no-no for the franchise right now with it's overly realistic BS. Sonic can't exist in the real world. His realm being confined to the real world does not benefit the fantastic nature of the whole thing. In fact, it hinders it. It's like trying to set Mario in the real world. It doesn't work. There's a golden rule with things like this; you don't fix what isn't broken. There's realistic and then there's going too far; and Next-Gen crossed the line early. Sega and Sonic Team needs to stop that ****, because they're slowly draining Sonic's world of it's unique identity. One game at a time. |

Thank goodness for Unleashed's visual designs then. The level designs are "realistic", yet there are so many loops and zig zags, rails suspended in air, Eggman's back to his post-Adventure look, the humans look like Pixar characters... In recent news, the official website for the Tokyo Game Show of 2008 has revealed a list of exhibitors for the show. Sega's in there, so it's a safe bet that they'll be showcasing Unleashed and/or Chronicles.
This year, Tokyo Game Show will be running between the 9th to 12th of October. |

Unleashed is a given for being there, but Chronicles, I'm not so sure about. If release dates hold, it will have released by then. Which leaves no real reason to preview it at a game show, considering it would have been released a week and a half earlier.
Sounds good to me. I still wish they would quit trying to shove "Sonic in real world locations" down my throat though. |

Well don't forget, there still isn't an announced release date for the people in Japan. Likely it could also be released there in September, but you never know. |

Gamesradar are reviewing the games that were shown at the Leipzig Games Convention. They gave Sonic Unleashed a 6/10, and had this to say about it.

Not surprised Sonic and the Black Knight isn't going to be there. Aside from hype focus, they only announced the game two months ago. They better have a damn good version to show for it too though, otherwise they're going to have way too many people dismiss it as another failure in next gen Sonic. People have a low tolerance for the series crap these days. |

Pretty much. That's the sad part, really. Most everyone agree's that Heroes had some good ideas, but was just executed very, very poorly. |

Reviews for Heroes were generally mixed. There were some people who liked it, and some people who didn't. Me? Well, I think it's decent. I was expecting it to be better. I think it's fun to play, but GODDAMN if it isn't unfair a lot of the time. Sonic Team really should've taken the time to fix the controls. That's pretty much the only thing I can find wrong with this game, unless there's something I'm missing.
