First images of Sonic Unleashed
2008-03-22 23:24:29 by Snoopers
A vile leaker revealed the first (numerous) images of Sonic Unleashed to the face of the world, with two bunch of images. The first one showcases what looks like sixty-three (!) in-engine screenshots, and the second one CGI cutscene captures. Oh, and there's an artwork too. If we are to judge from the graphics - which looks surprisingly like Blue Dragon - the platforms of release should be Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. We won't know until Sega brings us their press release, which shouldn't be long to come.
Update: Full update of the galleries.
Update2: Announcement teaser added.

I'm still not impressed. The gameplay in Sonic 360 wasn't actually all that bad, it was only brought down by the terrible bugs, characters, story and sections of the levels were you took control of the painfull awkward Tails, Knuckles and so on. The actual parts where you were playing as Sonic without any gimmicky mechanics, weren't too bad.
This looks more like Sonic Rush, which involves nothing beyond holding right and hoping you don't fall down a pit of death.

But still, I'm quite the fan of Rush/Rush Adventure so there's nothing inherently wrong about a game being like that to me, but for some reason I wouldn't want that "pure" a Sonic experience on the stationary consoles. Secret Rings, STH and all the 3D Sonics in the past all involve - like you allude to - a whole lot more than jumping around, and I really hope they cram this full of nuances aswell.
To be fair, there's a great deal more to Rush Adventure than there was to the Advance games and Rush. It has a really good combo system and way more useful air maneuvers, but I really hope there are still 3D bits here in addition to that, complete with the trademark homing attack gameplay of 3D Sonics.

Looks pretty, but very empty. A big, simplistic city, but just Sonic running around. And I do not like much of that sliding on rails stuff.
The first Sonic Adventure for Dreamcast is one of my all time favorites, so I still have high hopes for this one.
