Topic: Sonic Colors

There's probably already a thread for this, but at the moment the Wii section is far too cluttered for me to bother searching for it beyond a few pages. Forum search plz!

So IGN just posted their hands on, and they actually said they're impressed. This is IGN we're talkin' bout. Yep. :3

_{course they could always turn around and give it another 3/10 (after all this is IGN we're talkin' bout) - but still.}

I'm actually getting excited for this. I saw some preview footage on YouTube and it looks great. I'll link you guys tomorrow, if you're lazy (like me).

_{edit: fix'd my link fail. hahaha, that was punintended.}

zelda article? confused

lol, whoops. Fix'd.

Alright, here's a good gameplay video. I must say it looks like fun. :3

I admit, that looks great! Looks like the HD versions of Sonic Unleashed. I hope the wisps don't get overused (or at least the yellow one)

@pix: looks like they're staring to get things right.

Indeed. As long as they don't have a "secondary" game and just focus on these Sonic levels, it should turn out great.

One thing I'm worrying about is how much of the game seems to be 2D. Sonic 4 will be satisfying our 2D cravings, and I'd really like to see some awesome 3D level design in Colors.

Looks promising. But I think Sonic 4 looks more impressive

Looks good just hope the game doesn't have you abusing the power up every secound like in that gameplay video.

Is drifting in this game?

@turtlelink: I believe so. After all, it is using the Unleashed engine and that was a key element of the gameplay. :3

I'm actually very impressed with this. It looks pretty fun.

Looking forward to seeing more. Does that mean I'm impressed?

This is the first Sonic game Im excited about. If the reviews are good them I am definetly buying this. Wish I could say the same for Sonic 4 though...

EDIT:
Heres some DS footage if anyone is interested.

I'm really impressed by this. By the footage it looked like a good-looking 360 title, but when I found out it was only on Wii I was really impressed by the technical prowess of the game. It looks more impressive then pretty much everything made by Nintendo from a graphical standpoint. It looks really fun too. I'm glad the new powers in the game don't detract from what makes Sonic fun in the first place. I'm stoked for it.

Visually pretty, but it's just a big empty level with a few very easy enemies that you run quickly through with no challenge, half the time on autopilot with an occasional button prompt. I think Sonic needs to decide if it's a platformer or a racing game. This looks like it might be fun if a bit more linear and with a timer added or an opponent to race against.

Yeah, the DS version looks like what I've already paid $30 bucks for... twice.

@Adam: I agree, I'm hoping it won't be too easy.

It looks like the first level to me, so SEGA would probably want to get new players into the feel of things before sending utter chaos to the player.

EDIT: Why does it say weirdadam when I quote you?

The forum is set to reflect your inner thoughts when you reply to me. I'm so upset with you right now, you just wouldn't believe.

Seems pretty long for a tutorial on how to hold the right button.

Might as well give it it's own entity. Plus, it's about getting some players used to its sense of speed.
