Neon Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Two brand new City Escape videos. You can hear quite a bit of Modern City Escape. Modern: Continued... Classic: 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintendoga Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) You know I'm starting to think the reason most people hate sonic games, is because they suck at them. "Press A button to jump over platforms? Well I guess I'd better spam the X button until something happens." I mean really, he actually had trouble grabbing an extra life! He just spammed the boost button and then ran around drunk like jumping over the life until he grabbed it. I could understand if it was in mid air or something, but it was on the ground in plain sight! On a side note, Will I ever get to hear the modern version of City Escape in it's full glory?

Ivo the Egghog Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Haha I love how he turned to the camera and was like "Wow there's a skateboard in this game!" but when he turned around the GUN truck smashed down and broke the item box. He also seemed to genuinely like the game even though he wasn't the greatest player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNTER297 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) It's annoying that we've had so many videos of City Escape and have still not been able to hear the full Modern City Escape. Yet we can hear Classic City Escape in just about every damn video. We have HQ MP3 of Classic ver. from Jun performance at SOS. The only way we can hear Modern ver. before relase now is TGS press day (It will be calmer at convention but I doubt it since they will probably show Rooftop Run there) or if we find it in next demo (again doubt it since demo files point at Rooftop Run) Edited September 1, 2011 by HUNTER297 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octarine Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 The player's not that great, sure, but it's really nice to see an enemy actually hit Sonic for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Blood Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Modern City Escape kind of... sucks. It's really short and limiting. You spend the first portion of the stage boarding and get a quite nice 3D area afterward. But then, you get a dull 2D section and 3D section which is nothing more than a staircase. The stage then finishes with an overly long chase sequence. The main 3D area is actually really quite good. The rest of the stage brings it all down. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can forgive GHZ being bland as it's the first stage, but that's not the problem with CE. It's just too short and automatic. There's one really cool section, that unlike Unleashed and Colours, is open and gets you moving in all directions. And that's it sadly. Chemical Plant seems to be very similar to Green Hill, which isn't a good thing. Unleashed managed to keep things interesting with distinct 3D areas and long stages. Generations stages might end up being too short. Even the classic versions of CE and GHZ seems a bit short to be honest.

Its about the same length as the original City Escape, which is probably why it feels really short. The original stage was an opening level, whereas in Generations, its obviously, going to be level 5. This presents a problem but......we'll see.

The original stage has far more content in the way of less boarding and a much shorter chase. Why the Generations stage doesn't have much going on is really beyond me.

Blue Blood Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) The original had more content? Uh.. Not really. There is far more to the main part of the stage in the original. The new one has too much boarding and chasing, along with a very short 'regular' section. Not that there's really any reason to compare it to the original though. They're different kinds of stages. Like comparing the Good Egg Galaxly to Bob-Bomb Battlefield. Edited September 1, 2011 by Blue Blood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had less boarding and a shorter chase sequence. The part in the middle, the "main sequence" is longer, but all it really contains is some rails to grind on and more streets to run down. Yeah they are very different stages, based on the same mould, but I can't really agree that the original had more contentm when that content was basically just holding forward and jumping some ramps. A lot of it is running down hallways. Something which isn't really considered gameplay in the Unleashed mold.

Detective Shadzter Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I've got to agree with Blue Blood and SpookyMulder. The original had more in the ways of normal Sonic gameplay, while the Generations stage has much less normal gameplay and too much boarding and chasing. It's very underwhelming. I know it's supposed to be different, but it's one of my favourite stages and I'd have really liked more of that part where he's in a park like area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scar Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) It is short. I'll give you guys that. It needs to be much, much longer than that, if its supposed to be level 5 out of 9. In many ways, Chemical Plant looks like its going to be a larger/longer stage, and by all accounts, that's stage 2. I bloody well hope that they cut out a portion of the stage, because it feels like something sizeable is missing. Either that, or I hope they had another decent 3D section into the stage. That simply cannot be level 5.... EDIT: Hacing rewatched SA2's City Escape and Generations City Escape, I can agree, that the regular running/jumping gameplay is Shorter in Generations, or is, at least replaced with a 2D section. However, the bulk of the regular gameplay in the original is mainly running down a narrow corridor and occasionally pressing the jump button at the right time to jump over ramps....There is actually more platforming and open space in the Generations version...

Detective Shadzter Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 It's funny because I remember how we all (including me) reacted when we first saw gameplay of City Escape. It looked pretty damn awesome. But I think that's the problem with the level design for Modern Sonic in this game and Unleashed. The levels have a lot of sections designed for the wow factor, rather than something fun you would want to play again and again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raging Raven Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 If you play the stage normal it's about 3:45 long. Actually pretty normal for an Act. Empire City at Unleashed for example was the 4th Stage I guess. It has the same length if not shorter. You guys do like that Sonic is ruined for ever just because of that.

The 5th stage in Unleashed was Dragon Road Day, but the difficulty was more sporadic due to the random insertion of the Werehog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
