Good video is good. By which I mean, the player has played video games before.

Spotted over at Retro, there's new footage from the Wii version on the French site Gamekult. They are beautiful.~

http://www.gamekult.com/video/10382705/ -- Single-player play in what was thought to be exclusive to multiplayer mode. You don't have to miss out on this zone just because your friends don't care for platformers. You can hear 8-bit versions of the tunes from Tropical Resort and Sweet Mountain and Eggman's leitmotif.

http://www.gamekult.com/video/10382706/ -- Footage of Sweet Mountain 1.

http://www.gamekult.com/video/10382707/ -- Footage of a new act of Tropical Resort (not act 1 or 2). The music has different instrumentation than what can be heard in footage of the first two acts.

I don't mean to start or spread any kind of rumors or anything ... but it just now occurred to me that the multiplayer-type stuff looks very much like it could have been done in a custom level designer...

Aitamen · « **Reply #70 on:** September 15, 2010, 04:38:43 pm »

^if there's not an official one, I have little doubt that those of us with homebrew ideologies will find a way to make one.

EngiNerd · « **Reply #71 on:** September 16, 2010, 09:41:46 am »

A Sonic game with a level editor ... why has Sega not done this yet??? Hell, I only know one fangame that does...

Thorn · « **Reply #72 on:** September 16, 2010, 01:24:15 pm »

Even more Tropical Resort footage, with bits not shown in any of the acts seen to date. This is confirming at least four or so acts per zone, even if each act is shorter than the Act 1 areas in Unleashed 360/PS3 (they're more on par with the secondary acts). Notice that the music has the instrumentation we heard in the first videos of Tropical Resort while the video from two days ago doesn't; I think it's safe to assume that they didn't change it over time, but rather made more than one version for use in-game. I'm willing to bet that this practice will carry over to other zones, and then we have the chiptune-esque versions of each tune for Game Land.

http://www.tssznews.com/2010/09/16/new-video-first-look-at-sonic-colors-ds/

The same guy who published the last video also published clean DS version footage. Did I mention that it too has a unique mix on the Tropical Resort theme? Why must that music be so catchy, I can't stop listening to the four different versions we've heard. :(

Er... I'm not too happy with Sonic Team and Sega right now. Yes, yes, I know it looks good, but, it's not going to be released on the PS3 or Xbox 360 platforms, which means its going to suck. Almost every Sonic game that appeared on the Wii and PS3 and Xbox 360, the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions WAY over-ruled the Wii version. Now that it is exclusively for Nintendo platforms, I'm having second thoughts about this game.

And seriously!?! Did you see that video? Sonic is extremely slow! Ugh, i knew this would happen, this is bull.

Loads of new screenshots for the game for today. They also show a new stage.

Edit: The second I finished posting this, more new news on a wisp had been revealed.

Edit 2: I missed this one, but it's some more screens of the DS version. http://blogs.sega.com/sonic/2010/09/20/sonic-colours-manic-monday-update-ii-10-new-ds-screens/

Wait, there were Sonic games that appeared on all three of the cur-gen systems? When did this happen? Why wasn't I informed?

Also, fuck you.

Yeah, definitely ... I remember this kind of thing happened in 2006 ... the game for the 360/PS3 was FAR better than the Wii game that year...

S06 actually beat a game?
o_O

Aitamen · « **Reply #79 on:** September 21, 2010, 01:17:05 pm »

@werey: There was no game for wii in '06.

I'd still say the Wii wins that one, though.

EngiNerd · « **Reply #80 on:** September 22, 2010, 04:43:19 pm »

...wow, guess I failed that one ... I was referring to Secret Rings...

Luxray · « **Reply #81 on:** September 23, 2010, 09:07:34 am »

Everyone but Aita fails fot not realising that Aita ment a single game for all 3 7th generation home consoles.
The closest was Sonic Unleashed, but because of different game engines, they can be considered different games entirely.

Aitamen · « **Reply #82 on:** September 23, 2010, 05:13:53 pm »

^Ty luxxy. I was mostly bashing on the troll's logic there.

closer to the topic, Colors looks amazing, and has support for an actual controller (as opposed to just being motion-sensor like the BS titles in the storybook series). The gameplay and level design remain to be seen, but I remain ever hopeful. It's like a bad relationship you don't wanna leave because the memories are awesome... but maybe... just maybe...

Werey · « **Reply #83 on:** September 24, 2010, 11:21:23 am »

Haven't you seen gameplay yet Aita?

Well here's a second Gameplay trailer

Aitamen · « **Reply #84 on:** September 25, 2010, 03:41:30 am »

I have indeed. I haven't gotten my hands on it, and videos can be really impressive without the game being much in the way of awesome.

Alluusio · « **Reply #85 on:** September 27, 2010, 11:58:23 am »

To me the level design seems too linear. The same problem I had in Sonic Unleashed. There seems to be a few alternative routes though, but it doesn't remove the fact that the levels seem quite straight forward. The game doesn't seem that fast either. The power ups seem to add a bit of exploring to the stages, so I don't think they went wrong with that. I can't say for sure though.

The new voice actor seems decent to me. I have only heard random shouts, but at least the voice sounds quite Sonicish.

Just going to drop this here:

A lot of info, and two videos of Tropical Resort 1 and 2. That "new" version of the tune we heard is now in Act 2. Eggman's pretty audible too.

New Sonic Colours cutscene released!

(IT was on another site aswell but i'll probably get raged at for mentioning it D:)

Groudon · « **Reply #88 on:** October 29, 2010, 12:44:22 pm »

Also, a demo of the DS version is available on the European Nintendo Channel.

Luxray · « **Reply #89 on:** October 31, 2010, 02:51:51 pm »

All i can say, is that i'm completely crazy about the DS version. I'm sold.
