[Sonic Lost World] discussion topic

Anyone up for some multiplayer online next weekend on the next upcoming Gaming Community NiGHT?

So far i feel mistakes have been mostly my fault which feels really great. apart from a few trial and error bits, the game has been pretty fairly challenging. I gotta say that I am really digging the thought behind this game. There's just so much to do and explore in most of the levels. Fuck i've been mislead(also by myself). It just feels so good to be fully in control for a change. It feels especially good once mastering.

My brother got the 3ds version and i think one thing i prefe about it is how jumping and landing doesn kill momentum like it does on wiiu. I think this is a pretty big flaw cuz the game would have felt alot better without it

Yeah man, it's good fun once you'e gotten used to controls.  The hunt for red rings is pretty satisfying as well.  Here's hoping that SLW2 is the third exclusive game.  If they've learnt their lesson from this title (unlikely but meh) the next game could be something special.

Does the game have online multi? I thought only the 3DS version did.

Why do the cutscenes on the 3DS version look so pixelated?

I imagine that they were heavily compressed.

I imagine that they were heavily compressed.

Why would they do that?

[Barry the Nomad]

The 3ds cutscenes are in 3D, so I'm guessing the length of the cutscenes, doubled for left eye and right eye, lead to having to compress the video. While I'd prefer sharp 2d cutscenes, seeing them in 3d was pretty cool.

Haha! Wait. Waaaaaait a minute. Did Will just give the game a score and his final thoughts based on the demo alone? lol

I don't think it's fair to say you can assign a score to the game, as well as say something like "Sonic Lost World isn't a bad game, but it's not a great game either. There is lots of issues that need fixing." when you've only played one stage.

Also, 3DS version does parkour better, as well as jumping and landing as you mentioned.

I find this to be a pretty major flaw tbh. It affects the flow considerably. Kind of a strange thing to have missed... but aw well

I find it quite surprising to know that this game runs in 720p when it looks so much less pixelated than generations on ps3. Maybe some anti aliasing involved this time? Pretty cool when all this even runs at 60fps. The trade off of simple artstyle has definitely been worth it imo. Just less galaxy and more sonic next time please

Awesome barry. Gonna read it tonight.

Also is it just me or is frozen factory's music really catchy?

[Barry the Nomad]

It's the jingle bells, everything is catchy with jingles.

[Ben]

Yeahhh Will I have to agree that you probably should play the full game before reviewing it, lol.

I just finished it, I'll be reviewing it on my blog in the coming days, hopefully.

[Happy Cat]

True, I guess I should wait till i play the full game so i can give it a lower score. I'm probably being too generous. From what I've seen I have no interest in beating Mario bosses or dealing with the frustration ive seen lots of people dealing with.

I've heard from quite a few people the game really falls apart quite fast in the second half. So I'm probably being too generous

I honestly gave up on sonic after sonic unleashed, i honestly couldn't stand the werehog levels.. As fun as generations and lost world looked, i can't bring myself to buy another sonic game and be disappointed. I will say lost world does look pretty fun.
