The game's existence was first brought to light when Sega trademarked the Unleashed name in March 2008, and shortly after, images and a gameplay video were leaked.

The Werehog gameplay was conceived to help introduce newer gamers unfamiliar with the Sonic franchise to the series and is what influenced the use of Unleashed as a subtitle for western markets. It was initially conceived as a sequel to Sonic Adventure 2 (2001), but developer Sonic Team began to introduce enough new innovations that separated it from previous games, and it was renamed The World Adventure in domestic markets. The game's development began in 2006 and lasted 18 months, after the creation of its game engine, the Hedgehog Engine. Night-time levels see Sonic transform into the Werehog gameplay slows down to accommodate greater platform play, and involves combat against waves of enemies using the Werehog's brute strength. Daytime stages incorporate Sonic's traditional platforming and trademark speed, with a combination of behind-the-back third-person viewpoints and 2D side-scroller platforming gameplay seamlessly transitions between these two views. Gameplay features two distinct styles, with each being played either during daytime or nighttime. The story follows Sonic as he attempts to restore the world after his nemesis Doctor Eggman shatters it with a powerful laser to unleash Dark Gaia, an ancient evil, while dealing with having become a "Werehog", a werewolf-like transformation, which he gains after coming into contact with the energy of Dark Gaia. Sonic Unleashed is a 2008 platform video game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Whereas others go "oh wow Sonic is running so fast", we (that is, the Sonic fanboys of GAF) pay attention to the smaller details in these trailers and catch things most other people might miss, and that gives us reason to be cynical.Platformer, action-adventure, beat 'em up I don't think it's that we're picky (well, some of us are), I think it's because we've been burned by the worst entries this franchise has to offer, and a lot of those "worst entries" are also some of the most recent ones (excluding Sonic Rush Adventure). If Sonic ever does slow down in Sonic Unleashed, it will be when he transforms in to a Werewolf, I think.Īs for those with Sonic avatars being the most skeptical, one could say that we know what's up with this franchise more than most people do.
Sonic unleashed trailer movie#
However, regardless of the path you take, you're still just watching a movie play, and it still ends with you rescuing the Princess Daphne. It's like playing Dragon's Lair and when you're at a moment where you press a button to make something happen, instead of every incorrect option leading to death, it just takes a different path leading to saving the Princess. I think I brought up - or intended to bring up - how just because Choose Your Own Adventure books give you the option to "Turn to to do XYZ" doesn't really mean you're in control. it certainly did not feel more polished.Īnd I say that just because there are multiple paths doesn't mean you slow down to get through some of them. that game should have been the pinnacle, the latest evolution of the Sonic Adventure formula, but it was its opposite in many aspects. It is not like the Adventure stages + Action stages formula Sonic Adventure 1 introduced does not work anymore, with Sonic 2006 SEGA f#&ed the Adventure part up and did not exactly ace the Action part. Sonic Adventure 1 minus some camera problem and with even more Sonic level would have not only been a REALLY GOOD Sonic game but it would have become AN AWESOME Sonic game.Ībandoning the Sonic Adventure formula because of Sonic 2006 shows that SEGA has nto understood the real problems that title had that pissed people off: incredible slowdown even when there is almost nothing on screen (easily to reproduce in the main town) or when the physics engine is called up to do work (smashing several boxes together and kicking up dust -> slowdown), graphical glitches ahoy (shadows being drawn as you walk towards objects part by part or only appearing when you get really close to NPC's), lack of sense of speed when the camera gets pulled far away, controls put on auto-pilot in hard to control situations, INCREDIBLY LONG loading times (which completely RUINED the Adventure elements).
