Rumor: The PS2 and Wii versions of Sonic Unleashed to have less levels - Page 2 - NintendoPals.net Nintendo Friend Codes Forum

Well that sucks.. good thing I have a 360, too.

Dr. Feelgood · 07-04-2008, 07:28 PM

According to NP, which interviewed the executive producer(or someone like that), there is no multiplayer, and no other playable characters, Sonic only.

Knuckles · 07-05-2008, 05:16 AM

I'll get the 360 version then. Although it better not have any new characters and Knuckles must be an integral part of the story of course. Knuckles, Tails and Amy are more than enough.

I'd say you've got the bit I bolded very wrong.
Yes, in terms of graphics, the games are not going to be quite on par with 360/PS3, but games like Super Mario Galaxy, and even Sonic and the Secret Rings actually, since we're on the topic of Sonic, have already showed us that the Wii is capable of a lot more than the PS2.
So then why do the "devs" always just give us the PS2 version with tacked on controls?
It's just pure laziness on their part if you ask me. The Wii can do so much more.

Well, the ps2 is a lesser console, and the wii is treated like one even though it isnt, so this could be true, but it would suck.

I'm very wrong. The wii hardware is not up to par. No hard drive. Still use standard discs. So devs have to dumb it down. Why do you think most games hit the PS3 and 360 and not the wii. No not lazy just can't. They have to take away features like levels. Cause it probably won't fit on a standard disc. If the game has DLC for other consoles wii won't get it. No hard drive. So it doesn't shock me when Sonic gets dumb down. And no I'm not talking graphics.

According to the same NP that interviewed the director behind Sonic Unleashed said that the Wii version had unique level designs to take advantage of the Wii's interface...said nothing about the PS2 version though. He also didn't say anything about there being less levels, but then again...it is a Nintendo magazine but they often mention the Wii's shortcomings.

EDIT: Games that are coming out for the Wii and PS3/Xbox nowadays are usually done by two seperate teams, we aren't getting dumbed down versions, we're getting Wii specifics to take advantage of motion sensing.

Misterpwnage · 07-05-2008, 10:08 AM

Well I agree with you Xander, that most games have 2 different Devs, one for the Wii and the other for the 360/PS3. But still, those Wii developers are getting pretty lazy.... most of the time the controllers suck anyway.

About Sonic, I gave up on him after Sonic Adventure 2. It just hasn't been the same since he went 3D anyway

What Xander said.

But you are missing the point of what I said. I agreed that the Wii version would be "dumbed down," as you so open-mindedly put it, when compared to the PS3 and 360 versions, my point is that the Wii can still do a lot more than the PS2, which is why it angers me so much to see the Wii getting so many PS2 games with tacked on controls.

Um...exactly how many PS2 ports to the Wii are there? I know Okami...RE4 maybe, but it had some pretty tight controls...um....some crappy anime fighters, but those were crappy to begin with....I mean, there are other games being made that the Wii and PS2 share...but they seem to Wii-focused (making the PS2 version a wii port) like Force Unleashed and...well, Sonic Unleashed. (Hey...is "Unleashed" the new "Extreme" or something?)

DaMarth · 07-05-2008, 04:37 PM

This is why when games are released for multi platforms, I'll either get it on PS3 or 360...

Tennindo · 07-05-2008, 07:17 PM

The Games not even out yet n everyone is kicking the Wii Version to the Side. How sad.
Think about it. Maybe the Wii version mite be better. Just like how Sonic n the Secret Rings (not one of my favs though) was better the Sonic 2006.
Yet Sonic 06 had better graphics n so on.
Dont judge a book by its cover.
(in this case a Game)
