[Preview] Sonic Adventure 2
sonicblur
And it's awsome.
And free. It comes with PSO in Japan, and if you've got a fast net
connection, you can get it off the net ripped. It's about 100MB.
Anyway, if you dont wanna hear about it, (Spoliers possibly contained)
dont read ahead.
Well, first of all, the Load times aren't as bad. They seem alot less then
SA currently.
And levels arent separated into parts this time. Instead, City Escape (The
level in the demo) is one big level.
The music is good, and for some reason, it reminds me of Tony hawk.
Sonic has a few new moves. Somersault, which allows him to break the "gun"
boxes, and other boxes in the demo. It's actually similar to his spin/roll
move in the other sonic games.
The game is more realistic in ways too. When sonic jumps, instead of being
a ball, he flips over twice. He still has his homing attack, and spin
dash.
There's one loop in the demo, and I'm not 100 sure if it's fake or not.
It's not like the loops in Sonic Adventure, as sonic runs through it at
his normal running speed.
There's times in this game where you have an option to more than one path,
but it's usually not much different. Maybe other levels will be more open.
The truck scene is NOT recorded, and you can control sonic, and if you
stop, you WILL get hit by the truck...
It's kinda freaky on turns when the huge truck looks like it's gonna fall
on you, even though it's behind you. There are rails for grinding, and
bars to swing on, and you do get graded on how good you do.
Anyway, that pretty much sums it up. I may post a bunch of pictures after XMAS.

Okay, according to some reports (online and off), a SA2 demo is available
with PSO. Is that what you're talking about? Even Crazy Taxi is more than
100 megs.

'It comes with PSO in Japan"
That would mean the demo as it isn't even out here.
So he pirated the demo.

The demo is on a sepearate disk!
There's no way it would fit on the same disk as PSO, unless something was
removed. SA2 is 73 minutes on a CD, and PSO is probably bigger, so there's
no way to fit them on the same disk. SA2 alone is about 732MB unstuffed.

Actually, it came out in Japan on the 21st... Yesterday.
And yes, it did get the demo from the net, but it is a demo, so they
aren't losing any money from it. They will probably get more money by
letting it fit on one disk, because people will play it, and want the full
thing. I do! I cant wait. I've played the 1st level many times, and my
current score is a B.
BTW, If anyone wants the demo, AJ let me upload it to segasonic.net, but
he's not linking to it...
He posted the URL on a Sonic messageboard. But I'm not telling where.
Oh, and I also ripped the music from the game, and it plays on WSTM. So if
you wanna hear it, Listen to WSTM for awhile.
