Sonic Unleashed Blog on IGN
The Sonic Unleashed hype machine is being brought up to full super-sonic speed this week. A good showing at the TGS, “World Tour” promotion and now a blog on IGN!
Patrick Riley is writing for the website and will be posting updates in the future giving a greater insight a verity of different things.
The first entry doesn’t really tell us a lot that we didn’t already know. The basic plot, goals and ambitions for Sonic Unleashed are all laid out on the table.
The team is made up of people who love Sonic, who have worked on many Sonic titles, and who felt passionate about the experience they believed Sonic could offer on any system. Creating that perfect game was something we spent a lot of time discussing- all the pros and cons of what could and couldn’t work – what fans loved and what fans hated – what we loved and hated. In the end, it came down to us. We had to ask ourselves what we felt Sonic was missing up until now and what we would want in a Sonic game. Fortunately, as Sonic fans we are extremely excited about the game you guys will be seeing soon and as the PD team, extremely proud of the game we made.
The Blog also contains two new images of the GC intro. Sonic has a very devil may care grin on his face in one as Eggman has him in the grasp of his robotic hands. The second is Super Sonic standing in front of Eggman who seems to be begging the yellow wonder off… obviously seconds before springing the trap that turns Sonic into the Werehog.
Patrick Riley also gives us a hint of what to expect in future Blog entries.
In the next few weeks, we’ll be drafting up some dev diaries for you check out to get a better ides of the Werehog and all his skills and what inspired us on that front. We’ll talk more about the background of the team itself and their role in the creation of the game. We’ll introduce you to some of the places you will visit over the course of the game. Lastly, we’ll give you a taste of some of the new moves Sonic has been given in this game and some of the control specifics we implemented for the Wii version to ensure that Wii fans were really taking advantage of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk.
It all sounds like this blog will be worth keeping an eye on. Of course all this hype could ultimately be very damaging should the game be another Sonic 06 style dude.
Awesome!
Say, SLJCOAAATR; is this moar failure to you now?
LOL i think it’s sad that I crave recognition.
That’s selfish of me.
I’ll stop.
yes i cant wait till the new info pours in say is this gonna be every week or just occasionally?
Whenever Patrick Riley can be bothered I assume.
Sonication: …Yes? Afterall, I did give the heads-up (Unless someone else did too…) So, anything discovered by me, is MOAR FAILUR! Seriously, I’m still barely interested in Unleashed. I mean, I’ll buy it, and likely have some fun with it, but, I just have a feeling that it won’t be anything that great…
Hey sweet. I’ll keep my eye on this, thanks for the tip off Paul!
Oops. If people sent in a news tip I’ll ask Tristan to add names. I don’t get them sent to me, you see, but I like to know that people have got the proper recognition for things.
Kool then, Paul 😀
Also, Nex-Gen (06) fan here, y’know! 🙁
Haha, the Sonic 06 comment wasn’t personal and I know the game has it’s fans but I didn’t like it and the wider reviewing world in general agree with me. I’ll point to Metacritic as proof
SLJCOAAATR / Soul: I gave a heads up for this as well.
I know…Personally, I think people just FAR over-reacted about it’s few minor faults…
“Silver made Blaze & Nega keep changing from future-alternate dimension.” Remind me how that’s Silver’s fault?
“Mephiles killed Sonic.” So the villian we’ve all been wanting for years is automatically bad because he looked like Shadow, and accompliced what we wanted Eggman to do?
“It’s full of glitches.” Yeah, 99% of which are easily avoidable. Stop relying on YT for opinions. We all know they exagerate everything!
“VA’s suck” Opinionated. I like the 4KIDS VA’s.
“Graphics suck” Since when do graphcs matter? Besides, didn’t RIDERS win an award for good graphics? Game.
Wish for me to continue?
General: lol
@SLJCOAAATR: Owned.
Hey Soul, I understand your argument. I feel if they tweeked it they could’ve made it a whole lot better.
For me, I felt the controls were slippery. If they fixed that, I may have liked it!
@SLJCOAAATR / Soul: you and “moar failure” have a long history together, even before we met. You feel very proud for that, do you?
The argue that the game will be good or bad is determined by little information we got. They explain to us what we already and not on anything else.
About 06’s glitches…I don’t own the game. But watching youtube, this kid was showing off glitches he found in just a small amount of time. Most of them…I’m sorry, but when you do things the game was not desigfned to handle than you should expect glitches. Like when he used Tails to backtrack through Wave Ocean and called it a glitch because he couldn’t do something. Well, yeah. You’re not supposed to be there. I guess technically…it’s a glitch. But not really.
I was expecting to see stuff like “game freezez, characters fall through floors, get stuck in walls, etc. Maybe that’s there too, but they were too normal to point out? I don’t know.It’s fun looking for glitches, but when you go looking for them…they’re not even a problem.
lol Sorry, rant. I just don’t see those glitches as being worth the complaint. Instant death ones? Yeah.
WII trailer with werehog this time:

Thanks for the credit, Mark Chao!
No Problem.
@Sonication: SWEET……………
Sonication: …Actually, I only said “moar failur” on SOA. I just acted like a total douche there.
General: I enjoyed playing as Silver, Blaze, Omega, Shadow, and Rouge. Amy, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles could’ve used some tweaking, but hey, not everything’s perfect. Though, I found Omega to be very fun. lol
Aqua: I’M GONNA OWN YOUR MOM FOR THAT ONE
