Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity

I decided to make an official topic on this, and there's a couple questions I have about this to kick off the discussion:
-Will the Wii controls use motion-sensing, or just use buttons like PS2 does?
-What new characters might we see?

If indeed, new characters are added, I think Blaze and Silver will be among them.

If this game does use motion sensing, it should be responsive, and accurate. More so than SSR.

After all, what good is a Wii game without motion? Why develop for the console if you don't plan to use that?sonicphc

Anyway, I'm more concerned about the graphics, since the Wii is a lot more powerful than the PS2. I fear the PS2 version will suffer from the usual problems (low drawing distance, pop-ups, low frame-rate) and the Wii version will not use the hardware to a huge extent.

Why Chew Gravity?

This is hillarious! Not the actual lyrics, but it sure sounds like it. I guess that's why it's so funny.

well i dont know much about the game, but as long as the PS2 graphics are as good, or better than the first Sonic Riders, ill be pleased.

i will also be pleased if they add shadow as unlockable character, as well as other sonic characters for unlockables, instead of making unlockable characters from games that are not Sonic related.

like for example, i was expecting Charmy, Vector and Espio to be there, but instead they added AiAi, Ulala and Nights., they still have pretty cool moves though

I wonder if the music in this will be like the 1st Sonic Riders. I hope so.

yeah the sonic riders theme song was cool, it kinda got you pumped up to play the game. however the SR:ZG video song wasnt that cool. i mean the rythm was nice but i coulnd understand the lyrics.

however since this is a promo video maybe the games actual theme song is different.

Some possible lyrics I found for the theme song, not mine:

In no way any other way will do
Fly right any weather nothing else in you
Speeding in a stream in a sense that no one else can define
Floating as
a dream in a bliss that you no longer feel tight
Fight your gravity, just fight your other plans
Fight your gravity, fight true now let them loose
Oh, fight your gravity, for all that's knocked falls down
Fight your anomalies

I hope it is something like a beta version of the theme song, but the chances of that are so minimal, it is more likely to find Giselle lying on a beach half-dead waiting for me specifically to give her the life kiss.

I've read that somewhere, it didn't come from the top of my head :P

Well the graphics look pretty much identical ingame to SR1, from what I've already seen, which aren't impressive to be frank. The Cutscenes look pretty cool, as did the originals, but graphics-wise I think it will end there. What do you exprect from Sonic team? When it comes to 'Sonic + New ideas' = 'Special gravity' enhancement which is just a part of the game and nothing totally out of this world. They overdo it with the 'uniqueness' of the game. It's (the gravity) something not done before but seen similary and nothing groundbreaking. Still SR1 was alright, was pretty hard in spots. The Graphics were ok, and I enjoyed unlocking things and seeing Eggman actually be a villain this time. I hope this game improves quality-wise. I want to see where I'm going without some lame Joystick sign appearing and throwing me over the edge of a cliff this time. I'd also like there to be difficulty selections. If these two things were implemented in the first game it'd have made it a much better game. Also make the characters speak up. Could anyone hear Shadow in the first Riders? I think he said 'Now witness my TRUE Power', but it was whispered so low even my big Speakers had to be turned right up.

actually thats exactly what shadow says. it took me a while before i could understand it.

his beginning statement is: now witness my true power.

and his battle saying ( when he hits somebody): outta my way!

Mephiles (MEF-ILL-US)

Simply put, he's a demon who resembles Shadow, since Shadow is the one who sealed him in the Sceptor of Darkness. Although Wikipedia isn't 100% reliable, most info on Mephiles can probably be found there. He's a great badguy, IMO. I love his voice.

Don't buy a wii just for that game. Buy a wii because it's awesome in every regard.sonicphc

It's probably me, but I'd say to wait 3-6 more months for the PC. Playing games at the highest settings (provided your PC can handle it) is something money can't buy...

This sounded weird.

:lol:

Why is Internet Explorer 7 giving me this problem? When I submit a post there are no spaces between some words, even though there were when I was creating the post!
