Sonic Heroes

I was critical of this game until I downloaded the gameplay footage, which won me over in a big way.

Don't think "Sonic Adventure" at all, because the game doesn't seem to move like that at all. The speed seems a bit toned down (thankfully IMO) from the SA games, and there seems to be more gameplay/interaction in each litle area & scene. I LOL'd at the go-cart, with Knuckles driving, Tails on top with his Rotors going, and Sonic at the back as the 'wheel' -- HAW HAW HAW I love it!

I think it looks radically cool how the 3 characters run, leap, pounce, and fall together, and then how Knuckles seems to throw Sonic as a linked ball at enemies. It's definitely NOT Knuckles Chaotix with its rubber-band inertia.

I also think Sonic Team has captured the look of the first stage from Sonic 1 perfectly in 3D.

I just watched the video, and it looks pretty damn cool. The whole 3 Person team is a pretty cool idea and could make for some interesting gameplay aspects. Its too bad that they thought Amy should have a place in the game, god I hate that bitch.

So Sonic Heroes, PSO ep3, and Billy Hatcher. It's about time Sonic Team did some new things to remind me why I love them.

I think the step back from speed was a big mistake, the reason I loved Sonic Adventure 1+2 was because they were fast. I just want the next to be faster, I would be happy with another Sonic Adventure with just Sonic levels like they had told everyone from the start. And I cant stand any of the Karts in any of the Sonic series.

I was kind of hoping that Heroes would use a completely different engine than the Adventure games, for the sake of freshness. This looks like SA3 whether the name says it or not. But since I loved the Sonic levels in the DC games, I'm definitely still looking forward to it.

I would much rather have a game that was slower, but you could actually control, than a game that has you hitting a super-speedy-things all the time only to have you running around loops n' such for ten seconds with very little control.

I think the speed will be there. The clip I saw used Knuckles as the main character most of the time, & I'm sure Sonic will be much faster. I don't think they would make a new Sonic game that wasn't faster than the last. That would be silly.

No. I've been waiting to see classic characters for a long fucking time and you, Lhadatt, are not taking them from me!
Now, where's the afformenioned Ray, Mighty the Armadillo, and Nack/Fang the Weasel?

Chaotix had great characters. Better than Amy, Big, Cream, Rouge, etc.

Basking in their obscurity with Bark, and Bean the Dynamite, I assume.

Is that supposed to be Espio, or if not, what is the name of the Chaotix characters shown?
