TGS 08: Sonic Unleashed Wii gameplay footage
Posted by Graham. Filed under G, Japan, Microsoft Xbox 360, News, Nintendo Wii, Sonic, Video. Tagged with Gameplay, Sonic Unleashed, TGS 08, Trailer.
Gametrailers has posted up some gameplay footage from Sonic Unleashed on the Wii. This is pretty exciting as it is some of the first actual moving footage we have seen from the Wii version.Â
The Wii version is looking (visually) very good. The colours seem a little drabber than some of the 360 footage we have seen, and there is some obvious areas of lower quality visuals. But the game in motion looks fantastic for a Wii game.
Colour me impressed, the game speed is very fast and does appear to be pretty darn smooth. Though I did notice a few bits of frame drop/jerk, but I’m not sure if that is the video or the actual game.Â
Also, Gametrailers has posted up some Xbox 360 gameplay footage from TGS, which is also looking good - after the break.

Last year Microsoft gave out Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Forza 2 with their Xbox 360 Premium and Elite during the holidays. Now this year, if you buy the arcade (grumbles) you will get Sega Superstars Tennis for free.
While the Pro and Elite bundles have a better deal with both Kung Fu Panda and Lego Indiana Jones. The bundles ship out October 8th.
Golden Axe: Beast Rider - Krommath trailer
Posted by Graham. Filed under G, Microsoft Xbox 360, News, Sony PlayStation 3, Video. Tagged with Beast Rider, Gameplay, Golden Axe, Secret Level, Trailer.
Sega Europe has just released a new gameplay video focusing on one of the beasts featured in Golden Axe: Beast Rider, the “Krommath.”
According to Secret Level, the Krommath are very elephantine; slow to maneuver, but have a powerful attack that needs to be planned to use effectively. Each beast has three sets of special moves, to take down anything foolish enough to get in their way.
Krommath moves:
- Quick strike:Â A slow, area-of-effect stomp.Â
- Powerful strike:Forward charge. Â
- Special attack: Shockwave
I know many of you are torn on this, but I still think the game looks as though it can be fun. Let’s just hope the beast riding idea works out well.

If you haven’t seen Sega’s full TGS line up, then here it is. It appears that Sega decided not to put Prope’s game, apparently the system it will appear on is still a secret (cough Wii cough).
Hit the jump for the full list.

Being a big fan of free stuff, I could not help post the (so far) confirmed list of free Sega swag that will be given away at TGS.
Hit the jump and drool with envy.
Bayonetta gameplay teaser
Posted by Graham. Filed under G, Japan, Microsoft Xbox 360, News, Sony PlayStation 3, Video. Tagged with Bayonetta, Gameplay, Platinum Games, Teaser.
Just to give everyone a lovely appetiser of things to come at this years TGS, Sega has sent out a DVD, in the latest Famitsu magazine, with a few teasers for their upcoming games.
Bayonetta is up first, and this is the first in-game footage I think we have seen so far, so it is pretty exciting. Ok, not a lot happens in this teaser, but the games visuals are looking pretty decent, and I’m definitely interested to see more.
I’d also like to know if Bayonetta was a model before she decided to go off killing angels, because surely no normal action girl walks with a wiggle like that!

Famitsu shows off new Sonic & The Black Knight and Bayonetta screens
Posted by George. Filed under George, Japan, Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, Sonic, Sony PlayStation 3. Tagged with Bayonetta, Famitsu, Scans, Sonic and the Black Knight.
Finally some real screens from PlatinumGame’s Bayonetta. The game is looking very good and still has many months in development, though I can already see the bloom. Why do so many next gen games have bloom?
The other game in the issue is Sonic and The Black Knight, pretty much confirming its release for Japan. I wonder if Sega will release Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood in Japan? The game has alot of detail for a wii game and personally I think its looking solid graphic wise.

Sega’s TGS time schedule

The problem with going to TGS is that it feels like you are playing Dead Rising in real life, everything is timed! But thanks to Sega releasing their time schedule, we can be at their booths at the right times with extra drool.
The events will be broadcast live at Sega’s TGS site (all besides 428 and Project Diva). There will be a booth with games not on the list, that didn’t get a showing. This list is also missing surprises like Prope’s new game and a secret unannounced game (this game should be shown on the net in the next couple of days via Famitsu).

Rumor: Xbox 360 and PS3 to get Sonic Genesis Collection
Posted by George. Filed under George, Microsoft Xbox 360, North America, Sonic, Sony PlayStation 3. Tagged with rumor.
According to a listing on Amazon and Gamefly, Sega is planning to release a new Sonic Genesis Collection for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
According to the sites, the game will hit the streets Feburary 2009. I’m sure most of you are dying to own more copies of old Sonic games. Maybe Sega will answer fan demand and make them HD versions, that would be nice.

Golden Axe: Beast Rider mini documentary
Posted by Graham. Filed under G, Microsoft Xbox 360, News, Sony PlayStation 3, Video. Tagged with Beast Rider, Gametrailers, Golden Axe, Secret Level.
A new mini documentary for Golden Axe: Beast Rider has been released on Gametrailers.
The video talks about the origin of the Golden Axe games, featuring the creator Golden Axe and President of Sega China, Makoto Uchida, plus the team working on Beast Rider.
It’s quite an interesting watch, especially as a few of the comments reflect some of what I said in my recent article on Golden Axe.
It was also interesing to hear that Makoto Uchida only worked on Golden Axe 1 and The Revenge of Death Adder - which many consider to be the best (yes I know some of you love Golden Axe 2 more, for some reason). Also that the movie Conan, helped to inspire the idea behind Golden Axe.
