Sonic Unleashed Cinematic Intro Has More Special Effects Than a Michael Bay Movie

Sega is pulling out all the stops in their upcoming Sonic The Hedgehog next gen title. The Sonic Unleashed cinematic intro looks like it was directed by Michael Bay, packing more high speed chases, explosions, and special effects than Bad Boys, Transformers, and Armageddon combined. Alright, I might be exaggerating a little, but it looks really really good.
Don’t take my word for it — watch the video after the jump.
A day mode featuring classic speed centric Sonic gameplay, a change of pace night mode that transforms Sonic into a Werehog platforming explorer, and now a big budget game intro! Throw it a certificate for a bucket of popcorn and a free car wash and I’m sold!
Afterthought: What do you guys think of the new intro and Sega’s overall attempt to revitalize the speedy blue bastard?

Yes its a very cool intro, but please dont compare this to Transformers or other work of Michael Bay, one thing its game animation other is a movie animation

“one thing its game animation other is a movie animation”
Just about broke my brain.
I think I understand what he was saying, but it was still stupid.
My guess is that he doesn’t believe that the CG in a game shouldn’t be viewed on the same level as CG in a movie.
That’s dumb. :[

Oh and by the way, that cinematic is beautiful and has some of the greatest action I have ever seen in a video game cutscene.

Yeah. It sure does look sweet. I wouldn’t mind watching an entire movie done by those guys … what’s that? They are making one? No shit…

This is great, but you would have thought that Eggman would have learned from when he tried to use Chaos that you can’t control a big scary monster.
