this is one game that should never have gone 3d. It's unplayable.
I got the demo and deleted it after 5 minutes of wasting my time. It's just way too easy to jump off a cliff by missing a jump onto a rail, or missing a turn cause you are going to fast.
I still can't understand why Sonic's model looks so damn crisp while the enemies and background suffer with a much lower resolution and some jaggies. It almost looks doctored.
Besides how dissapointed I am in the graphics; I'll still buy this game cuz'... im still a sonic fan (that hopes someday Sega will stop making these #^*$&$@ games. There downfall happened after Sonic Adventure)
Are you lot unbelievably crap at Sonic games???? Those of you saying "it's too easy to jump off the cliff"
and this?

If only it had the same gameplay and quality of level design...
The game isn't out yet, and I will not question you once you have actually played the damn game.
I played the demo and thought it was horrible.... at first.
But then I began seeing how easy it was to get to grips with it. Not only that, recently looking at the later builds of the game, it moves more like Sonic Adventure 2, which for me was where Sonic had the best animation and movement.
We were given an E3 demo, one of the earliest builds, one which people like you probably begged for, but companies don't like doing that, especially when it WILL NOT REPRESENT HOW THE FINAL GAME PLAYS!
I also have a friend who went to a recent event in Manchester to have a hands-on with the retail version of Sonic, ie. the one that WILL be shipping and not the E3 demo.
His words were:
"Guys forget you even played the demo, because this version plays more like the previous Sonic's before Heroes."
This game definitely has my vote.
Also, people really need to GET OVER the fact that he is now situated in the human world, his arch-nemesis is a bloody human! So it makes no sense to bitch about there being more humans about.
You guys want 2-D Sonic? Then stop posting your disdain for the 3-D ones and break out an emulator, or your old genesis/megadrive and be in your essence there.

The demo looked very smooth at 60fps, so I don't think these stills are anything to really worry about.
Another thing, people should really stop judging games by their screenshots.
I loved the demo and it looked great in HD and all you guys sayin 3d sonics suck well your wrong wut about sonic adventure for DC great game and they mise as welll call this Sonic Adventure 2.

I don't get why the same people saying 3-D Sonic sucks are the same people that ask why it's not the same as Sonic Adventure 1 or 2???
Am I missing something here??? I could swear the last time I checked they were both 3-D games..

Uh what? Their downfall happened because of the poor 1st/3rd party support and a PS2 that had no good games at launch
This is the first next gen Sonic game, cut them some slack, it's not always easy to adapt to a new system right away
It looks pretty good, but i still think it's weird that there are realistic looking humans with Sonic. The picture where he is holding the princess in he's arms is kinda weird :P
I'm glad Tails makes a return ( not that it is suprising though) he is still my favourite character.
The demo showed some potential, after you get used to the controls. Ill think about it. But its probably one of those games ill get when the price drops.
Somehow they've found a way to anti-alias the main character alone and not anything else. Like the shots with sonic and tails, they're super smooth and the background poly edges arent. Weird.

Tights maybe??? Stockings???
Do some research, before you try to make an educated opinion and sound smart..
Commented on 2006-11-07 19:03:02Man can't really say this takes advantage of the 360 or PS3 can we. ?
I will get it anyways, hopefully it will be better than the last few sonic attempts.
Commented on 2006-11-07 19:36:15Someone finish it for me..
