Romier S Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 This news surfaced during the forum downtime, but I thought it would be a good idea to bring some information on the new game along with the some very high resolution shots to LCVG members. You can read more here: Currently using the codename, "Sonic the Hedgehog," the new polygon-pushing platformer was announced as a re-imagining of the franchise with its inspiration being drawn from the original series. As always, Sonic guru Yuji Naka will be heading up the brand new project with special assistance by original series character designer Naoto Ohshima. "Sonic The Hedgehog represents the most recognizable example of classic SEGA properties that we will recreate for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360," said Naoya Tsurumi, CEO of SEGA of America, Inc. and SEGA Europe Ltd. "When Sonic The Hedgehog debuted on the SEGA Genesis in 1991, he reinvented the action-platform genre with speed and attitude. By harnessing the power of these new platforms, we are confident that Sonic will once again raise the bar for action gaming in 2006 and beyond." http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/649/649645p1.html [ATTACH]106[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]107[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]108[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelley Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Here are some new screenshots of the next-gen Sonic the Hedgehog. Hopefully they will go back to making good Sonic games. I don't want to play as some stupid fat cat or any other stupid character that isn't a blue hedgehod named Sonic. Also I think that this game could use some really sweet blur effects.

kelley Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 here are two videos, one of gameplay the other showing off some lighting. http://www.lcvg.com/videos/xbox360/sonic.wmv http://www.lcvg.com/videos/xbox360/sonic2.wmv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Daddy Bling Bling Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 The gameplay vid seems odd. By Sonic standards it looks pretty slow, yet you'd think it was the fastest game in the universe based on the gratuitous motion blur. Other than the physics that can be seen when the brick walls are smashed, seems like Sonic As Usual. I've enjoyed the direction the series started in with SA1 on the DC, but the approach also has its fair share of critics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted January 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Please tell me this is a joke... Sonic load times on the 360! I saw this posted over at NeoGAF and my jaw about hit the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whooter Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Brutal. Fortunately I'd written this one off after 5 minutes with the demo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Oh god, that demo, don't remind me. It burns, it burns... Perhaps they added in the load times to keep you from being miserably disappointed so quicky . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
