SEGA has previously confirmed they are working on a Sonic title for the Wii U, but have said it isn’t simply a port of Generations. Could it be a whole new title altogether?..
TSSZ News has claimed to have the first details on the new Sonic game, whose sources have been proven correct in the past. We probably won’t find out for sure until E3 2012…
- Sonic Dimensions is a working title
Takes place right after Generations
Spiritual successor to Sonic Colors
Unclear if it’s a Wii U exclusive
Visual quality in line with Generations
Takes advantage of Wii U’s capabilities
Uses Wii U controller for up to 4-person multiplayer
Touchscreen used to destroy enemies/activate powers
Story involves another time-space continuum shift created by Eggman
This alters Sonic as well as the world
Sonic is split into multiple personalities denoted by colors
Each personality has its own abilities
The main sonic remains blue
This Sonic acts as a core uniting “ghost”
Five other colors: Red, Orange, Purple, Green, Yellow
Red Sonic: causes explosions to open new areas; has slow speed and short jump
Purple Sonic: Move platforms and float, dark attitude
Orange personality compared to Big the Cat; hedgehog is slower than the red Sonic
Yellow Sonic: the fastest Sonic; takes damage easily
Can use only two personalities in-stage
All Sonics may combine and act as an equivalent Super Guide
White Sonic: appears as an option after dying in a stage a certain amount of times
Using this Sonic guarantees the lowest rank at the end of the stage
SEGA working with some Nintendo developers on the project
Sonic Colors staff working on the game as well
Nintendo devs. supposedly helping out to design levels
More surreal levels
Music Plant from Sonic Adventure 2 could be in the game
Eggman’s scheme causes Sonic’s friends and the doctor himself to split apart
Rival battles: Sonic and personalities fight an evil version of Amy Rose (tired of Sonic refusing her advances)
One of Eggman’s personalities is kind-hearted and acts as a guide for Sonic
Some 2D gameplay
2D gameplay mechanics will be “directly ripped” from the classic Sonic physics
