Sonic: Colors (Wii/DS) | Ultimate Edition (PC/PS4/XB1/NSW) - September 7, 2021

[6souls]

Sega has just announced the next Sonic game, this time around Sonic will be hitting the Wii and DS in a 2D/3D extravaganza. It is being pitched as the fastest Sonic game today, so expect to see motion sick by the time it is all said and done. Unfortunately the teaser trailer above doesn't tell us a whole lot about the game. According to the press release you will be on a foreign planet helping free the alien race of wisps from the clutches of the evil Dr. Eggman. Chances are if you know Sonic, you'll know Sonic Colors. There isn't much here that takes our breath away and makes us expect anything extremely new from the series. Hit the jump for the press release translated by Google, it is a little hard to read, but you'll get the point.

LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (May 26th, 2010) SEGA ® Europe Ltd. & SEGA ® America, Inc. today announced Sonic ™ Colours, the new high-speed adventure of our famous hero Sonic the Hedgehog. Struggling with saving a colorful alien race fall into the clutches of Dr. Eggman, Sonic will face many obstacles along an inspired sci-fi themed amusement park. Sonic Colours will be available on Wii ™ and Nintendo DS ™ at the end of 2010.

A unique playground has been seen orbiting the planet of Sonic the Hedgehog. Some rumors speak of an alien race called wisps, with a rare colored energy, which is now imprisoned here, by the evil Dr. Eggman. Sonic, once arrived on the planet's entertainment, you can use immediately made aware of this rare power to help colored wisps in the escape! The Wii version of Sonic Colours combines both 2D and 3D gaming perspective, while the Nintendo DS version takes advantage of the characteristics of the double-screen console.

"The lively alien universe of Sonic Colours allows players to race at breakneck speed along amazing planets, each with its peculiarities and unique visual style." Comment on Gary Knight, Senior Vice President of Marketing SEGA. "In addition to classic Sonic gameplay, new power-wisps, they offer an innovative way to explore these new worlds and help Sonic to run faster than ever!"

The new Sonic hedgehog Colours see our dear speeding, jumping off himself among enemies like never before in a Sonic game. The aliens WISPs are able to free their "Colour Power" that can be absorbed by Sonic drilling to create new roads, for example, the ground (via the Yellow Drill), or go through the whole internship at supersonic speed (thanks to Cyan Laser). Combining the different available energies can further increase the speed of Sonic and his abilities beyond imagination. Lots of power ups and exclusive versions will be available for Wii and Nintendo DS for a brand new super-fast gameplay of Sonic for fans around the world.

Sonic Colours will be available on Wii ™ and Nintendo DS ™ at the end of 2010.

Dammit I hope this isnt made by the Storybook team, it already kinda looking like it is judging by that terribad story. Let's hope the gameplay can back it up or else it will become like sonic+black knight (hold the up button while you jiggle the remote for about 3 hours worth of levels).

inb4 people complain about sonic games that theyve never played.

[vrumpt]

innocent until proven guilty. We'll see at E3.

[Devolver]

I really find it hard to get behind any Sonic game anymore. I try every time, and just get completely disappointed.

[Corrderio]

Doesn't look that interesting to me.

I hope Sonic 4 isn't a pile of BS.

[Elcura]

Let's see if I get cycle'd again.

Dont worry BG, i'll play it for you guys and report back when it comes out. You can trust my word about sonic games even though you never have xD

[Kaisha]

Can't be any worse than Sonic Unleashed (which I'm playing atm >.> ), and at least they spelt colour right, as gay as the title sounds already.

My current Sonic Unleashed rant-list (PS3 release):

-Hub is a waste of space.
-loltastic story.
-Absofuckinghorrendous frame-rate. (more-so on Werehog acts, perhaps that fur shader SEGA used was unoptimized ;/ )
-Horrible pacing. (the gameplay styles of Hedgehog/Werehog stages clash badly)
-Hub is confusing in terms of level progression (requiring multiple trips to the bloody professor).
-Camera reminiscent of N64/PSX era in terms of how unhelpful it is 90% of the time.
-Platforming sections of Werehog acts are rage inducing since he slips and slides all about the fucking place.
-No option to turn Chip off
-Load times can get annoying during hub sections that require you bounce back/forth between night and day.

-Hub is a waste of space.
-loltastic story. ***agree
-Absofuckinghorrendous frame-rate. ***agree(playing on ps3 like me? i heard xbox had better frames)***
-Horrible pacing. (the gameplay styles of Hedgehog/Werehog stages clash badly) ***isnt that the idea? o.O. People complained about Sonic Adventure 2 characters being too similar lol***
-Hub is confusing in terms of level progression (requiring multiple trips to the bloody professor). ***agree
-Camera reminiscent of N64/PSX era in terms of how unhelpful it is 90% of the time. ***theres a camera in this game? o.O If i ever need to spin the camera outside of a werehog stage i'm usually already dead***
-Platforming sections of Werehog acts are rage inducing since he slips and slides all about the fucking place. ***Gotta hold the Circle button to autograb ledges***
-No option to turn Chip off ***Play in Japanese so you cant understand him***
-Load times can get annoying during hub sections that require you bounce back/forth between night and day.***Load times for this game in GENERAL were terrible***

replies are in the "*** ***" I dont know how to make color on the internet

Rage inducing platform sections were ones not involving grab ledges, and the other times were when the bloody ledge wouldn't target for grabbing even while holding circle as I jumped near.

Camera fuckery was mostly in hub, other times is in werehog where it's mostly useless because of how slow the game runs, combined with how fast the camera shifts about when you barely press on the stick.

Are the hotdog challenges the entire level btw? I only did one so far and it was the case. Am hoping the rest are not like that as it's just an annoyance for platinum'ing the game.

Also going to be a pain in the arse collecting all the medals in the Sonic acts.

[EDIT] Holy fuck this one particular Sonic stage is fun, the one on the great wall of china. Why couldn't the whole game just be like this?.....with 60 frames a second.

Yes. Platinuming is pretty much "beat every level without dying 9 times" (xaggerating but still xD)

Thats one of my favorites too, especially acts 2 and 3 of it (lap acts)

[Akiyama]

Someone post the chain of Sonic game announcements picture. It's probably needed here too. Countdown til more retarded friends and stupid powers are announced.

Definitely see that cycle happening again (as usual). Sonic was just a great series, I just can't believe how much they've messed it up over the years. You would think they would maybe read reviews of their games and see what they are doing wrong, and learn from it, but they don't. I admit, series do need change to grow, but ugh, they are just taking it in such awful directions.

[Elcura]

I honestly don't know what they could do anymore to "fix" Sonic. It has been damaged beyond repair (actually a long time ago), now all they're doing is keeping Sonic on life support. We need to be strong and let him go, but none of us are.

[Fhloston]

Jesus SEGA, milking Sonic for all he's worth......still have high hopes for Sonic 4.
