Sonic Unleashed: Holoska Day (Cool Edge Act 1) [1080 HD]

[@supersmashmaster43]

This game holds up very well almost 10 years later. I think it looks better than forces honestly.

[@Treyshellz]

SuperSmashMaster43 Forces has better graphics Unleashed just has a better art style that's why it can compete with Forces

[@supersmashmaster43]

Treyshellz ik but I think it still looks better than forces

[@Treyshellz]

Marshy how? It's on a next gen console

[@mastercreepy5893]

Forces has better HD graphics. *Hedgehog Engine 2* for a reason.

[@mastercreepy5893]

There's a difference between art style and HD graphics. Unleashed's art style is much better compared to Forces, while Forces is more HD looking than Unleashed. I like Unleashed better than Forces, and yes, even I'm saying that.

[@lowkomotivemcswagger7645]

Back in 2008 i was so hyped the graphics just look gorgeous even today 9 years later

[@yourfriendlyneighbohoodpiz7683]

Dude for some reason, 2008 felt like the peak of graphics for some my favorite franchises like sonic unleashed, Naruto ultimate ninja storm and DBZ burst limit. After that everything got worse it feels like

[@pressstart610]

Yknow, if you think about it, the bobsled has sharp blades on the bottom of it, and then sonic proceeds to run the sled over a whale. Ouch...

[@Massy-pi4uf]

Ouch!!

[@worksmagic89]

That's the first thing that came to mind when I first played the game

[@selassieaspen9940]

That Whale is still pretty huge... Though Sonic going over 400mph with those Blades on the bottom.

[@Nic_2751]

Well to be frank, it’s not actually that sharp, it has some width to it.....

[@Nic_2751]

That thing is huge and hard, probably just tickled it at most.

[@boblon8150]

Even if you didn't like the werehog stages sega worked very hard to make it as appealing as possible. They implemented many combo's and quicktime events to make it more enjoyable and not a mash fest. So i can i kindly say the werehog stages were very fun in my opinion.

[@DASH596]

I am not satisfied with Forces. I just wanted more fleshed out Modern Sonic with more elaborate level designs. I didn't want more Classic Sonic because we are already getting that with Mania. And I sure as hell didn't want custom characters.

[@TokyoDrift456]

you Do know that Forces started development when SLW finished its right?

I didn't even know people hated unleashed, the gameplay is so damn good along with every ost in it, how can people hate it I'll never understand.

[@nicholaschavez5006]

Acid Corp Anims Biased people, toxic fanbase and the supposedly "professional game journalists" all of this are the cause of Unleashed's undeserved hate, because as a whole and as a fact Sonic Unleashed (360/PS3) is a masterpiece of a 3D Modern Sonic game (same goes for Black Knight). Also the quality of the 3D Modern Sonic games have dropped since Colors because before Colors SEGA's best of the best developers and writers left the company and now we're stuck with 2 writers that know next to nothing of Sonic's universe and lore and lazy developers.

[@thaiangquoc9505]

I still don't understand why they hate this It looks almost perfect

[@damienthonk1506]

If it had the speed level in Colors or the controls of Generations, the game would be incredibly easy. Also Werehog, lol

It has great art direction but the actual visual quality is a downgrade from Sonic 06

[@mrm64]

This stage was the first trailer I saw for the game. Still brings me back to 9th grade...man...I think it's the greatest Sonic game of all time. I feel like this is the TRUE reboot to the series that Sonic 06' failed to do. You could tell Sonic Team was so ashamed of how that game turned out that they were utterly determined to redeem Sonic's name for his fans with Unleashed. Damn good job!

How I feel running faster than my friend after drinking cold water:

[@morgboat744]

i remember first getting to this stage and thinking “ugh, an ice level already.” i find a lot of them use the same kinds of gimmicks and are never very interesting but damn, did this one surprise me. sure it’s not as complex as some other stages but the beautiful natural vibes, music, and running across miles of open ocean are really something special imo. it reminds me a lot of Metal Harbor in the sense that it’s fairly simple, but is just pure high-speed thrill

[@thebeatoftheangels]

i wanted this stage on generations is so awesome!

[@slimballs9650]

They put Rooftop Run instead, which is fine by me. Also according to Tomoya Ohtani himself, both the Classic and Modern versions of Rooftop Run were his favorite compositions.

[@kittyqueen9000]

Although the werehog killed this game for me, I still love the daytime stages. This is probably the fastest Sonic has ever gone in his games before. Not to mention how beautiful everything looks. And the music gives of such an energetic feeling. Also it's more enjoyable to hear Sonic sound like he's having an awesome time running through the levels.

[@elijahtoombs814]

but at least you can agree that the werehog wasn't broken. it work as it was programmed to.

[@shydude7173]

+Elijah Toombs to be honest I hate the day stages especially holoaska

[@spindash64]

Elijah Toombs To be fair, it's nearly impossible to make a game this fast even CLOSE to glitch free, not when Sonic can so easily hit speeds that already make it difficult for him to not fall through the floor

[@xcalibur64]

The Werehog levels were pretty fun.

[@semvision]

The day stages have their own share of problems, they are the only good part of the game but, the trial and error, the excessive linearity, the constant access to barely controllable high speeds, the need to still stop and collect medals, the need for excessive amounts of dash panels despite the readily accessible boost, and the moments were it turns into temple run hd... the day stages are not perfect, but they are still the only good part of the game.

[@MS46532]

Lets be real. The day stages are better than sonic forces levels itself

I don't think this happens in the future games though. But in this one the boosters makes you go up until a certain speed limit. If you're going over this limit, they force you to slow down to that limit, and then you have to build up speed again

So i am playing this game now and everyone in the comments seem to be complimenting it, but from my experience the controls are far too loose. It feels like i am sliding everywhere, and i am not just talking about this ice level. Whenever i play as Day Sonic the game just feels like it is in a permanent state of ice physics. Am i missing something??? Is there a way to make this game properly playable??? Because from what i have played the game gets controller chuckingly frustrating, and it largely does not feel like it is my fault.

[@cruzsivl9686]

Your right but I also think they should remaster this great game with all the DLC for free that gives them a shit ton of money and we get sonic unleashed in HD or 1080p,60fps,and better controls hopefully so basically If they do this then they win and we win right.(p.s the sonic Community can also make great mods as well if this gets ported to pc)
