Sonic Colours Discussion

[Autosaver]

Remember when Spagonia was just brown/white pasted over 100 times? How about a colorful, much more eye friendly here.




Wow, this looks more eye candy then SU 360. Yup, that's how far I will go!

SU WiiS2/PS360 < Sonic Colors

Better look out, 360!

The Wii's got flat low-res texturing and jagged low poly models!

[Autosaver]

That isn't the point. >_>

Sonic Colors is opting for a happy and colorful graphic style.

This..? or..

Any tips on how to get a Wii for cheap? I don't care if it's new (used in good shape is good enough) nor do I care if it is a bundle.

I got my second brand-new wii (after my previous broke) for €140 on ebay.

A black one to be specific. Don't know if that's the kind of cheapness your looking for, but I had searched pretty long before I found anything of that price.

[Autosaver]

Well, a new black wii with 2 games and remotes/nunchuks/Motion plus is only 200 dollars.

The White Wiis are lower in price, going as low as a PS2

Ow yea, I forgot to mention, all those things you've listed were included in the €140 wii I got.

This stage looks like a cross between Chun-nan at night and parts of Eggmanland. The substantial difference is that its graphics aren't quite as high tech as the HD versions of SU.

Obviously, this game is quite colorful and awesome, even considering its hardware. ^__^ But graphical "eye candy" compared to SU on 360...? Maybe that'd be true to people who are near-sighted and sitting far away from their tv sets.

Just imagine how much better this game could look on an HD console...

I do not think this looks better than the art of Sonic Unleashed on the HD game consoles. It is just mostly deep colors going against one another, which sometimes kind of bugs my eyes a bit, not a big issue though. Some of the sections like Shamar in Unleashed were too bland, but at least it all connected together fine.

What bugs me the most is that the best-looking areas are the parts of the levels in the BACKGROUND, not where you actually play. Look how flat and basic the platforms you run on are. At least they actually sometimes encouraging going backwards this time, though.

I love how Robotnik actually seems funny again. The past few games attempts at comedy were horrendous to say the least.

[Barry the Nomad]

Unleashed had some funny Eggman (okay, okay, Robotnik) bits. However Colors seems to have tapped into the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog characterization, which I really enjoy.

update: some Eggman quotes from the game via SEGA's twitter:

“Ouch! I think I gloated so hard I pulled a muscle!” – Dr. Eggman, Sonic Colours

“Hasta la bye-bye, suckers!” – Dr. Eggman, Sonic Colours

Liking those quotes... Hope they are delivered well.

Unleashed was not very funny. I think almost all of the attempts at being funny kind of fell on their face. My favorite scene with him was how he ate a sub really fast, but it might have not been an attempt at being funny at all, just that he eats food fast. This has a LOOOONG way to go before he is as funny as the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog Robotnik, that was the best one ever.

I think they will be. He's no Long John, but he is pretty good, especially from what I have actually heard in this game. I really liked the voice actor for the Adventure games, too bad he is not around anymore.
