Some Sonic Next Gen Tid-bits

The "world exclusive" on the next gen Sonic game that appeared in Gamepro this month is out. While we cannot post scans, we can certainly give you the bullet points of the article. The typical Sonic character model apparently had about 1500 polygons, this time around it is as high as 1 million according to the devs. The game will also be faster than any previous Sonic game says game creator Shun Nakamura. The game will feature motion blur, you can even see it in some of the images. We like motion blur. The game will feature huge gameplay environments that have dynamic night and day cycles. As players progress, the game will cycle through morning, noon, and night, appropriately changing the lighting and the way that shadows react to in-world objects. The game will also utilize the Havoc physics engine, Gamepro mentions a sequence where Sonic faced an army of killer robots and they all went flying everywhere with "startling realism." This all sounds great, let's hope the finished product ties it all together.

I would love a next gan Sonic game. Ever since Sega announced that they would be software only, My respect for them more than doubled. I've always loved Sega, since the Genesis days, I always supported them. Bought a Dreamcast as soon as I could, still play it to this day.

Sounds cool But I would really need to see some game play to be sure. If its back to the old rediculous platform jumping and hauling ass up and down various slopes then Im definently interested. I always liked coin collecting with sonic.

I think I'm like the biggest Sega fanboy here.But a lot of skeptism comes with that, especially after the disappointment with Shadow The Hedgehog.

I'm looking forward to this game but I'm going to play it safe for the time being.
My expectations are very low, but I'll remain optimistic....


ill be more then happy to challenge you for that title  biggrin.gif

i have a really really good feeling about this game.  even though my expectations are on a realistic level, knowing that a lot of the original sonic team is working on this gives me comfort.
