Dear Reader:
ONM Sonic Unleashed details
Summery coming from Cubed3:
- Originally penned to be Sonic Adventure 3
- Has no/little relation to previous 3D sonics, including 2006 and Secret Rings
- The power of the 7 Chaos Emeralds are misused by Eggman and something changes inside Sonic’s body.
- Sonic heads around the world, with various different realistic locations.
- No direct mechanics from Wii’s Sonic Rings, but uses a move known as “quick step” to allow for fast movement left or right.
- Sonic Boost allows for a quick boost in speed (much like in Secret Rings) by collecting rings throughout the course, as well as a Sonic Dash move.
- Sonic’s classic moves like spin and homing attacks make a return.
- The game turns from day to night at times, day seeing Sonic in his usual form and at night players will slow down and manipulate objects…
- In Unleashed players will also use the Nunchuck in some form (presumably for analogue movement)
- New robot creatures developed by eggman, some darker elements and some colossal beasts (one would be about 7m tall)
- Developed from scratch to be a completely new take on Sonic.
- Interview with lead game designer Yoshihisa Hashimoto.
