Sonic Unleashed

Shadow is the guy who dresses in oversized jeans and Tims to make himself look cool, but then you catch him answering the phone with his Avril Lavigne Sk8r B0i ringtone and you can't look at him without thinking "Man, this guy is pathetic."

 

Shadow did chaos control so he could walk around silver and kick him in the back of the head, for no reason in sonic next

Actually sonic next was the only game where shadow wasn't angsty or emo, I don't know how they pulled it off.

 

If you ever knew an emo person you'd know that they generally aren't angsty.. they just act like gay guys that are supposedly not gay.

They're also loud and annoying

So yah.. Shadow's got all that down I guess

 

There was voice acting in Sonic CD. :x

EDIT: Also what Saz said. I was surprised Shadow was actually kinda cool in S06.

 

After reading a bit of this, I can't help but throw my two cents in here...

Sega set up a basis for Shadow, and how he should grow as a character in SA2. They had it right, he would be a bit angsty and emo at first, but he did have a basis for badassery (I guess I'm making that a word now). Sadly, he didn't grow out of the angst and emo stage until Sonic '06; in fact, he was the only slightly cool character in it. Silver took over as an emo bastard, only he's fourteen so it's even worse, and Sonic became a bumbling comical moron.

Um... excuse me? Sega? W T Fuck guys? Oh well...

So at least Shadow's the way he's supposed to be now, and yes, he was meant to be cool. It wasn't until now that they did it. The trade-off (because for some dumb reason Sega felt we needed one) is that now Sonic is an idiot. There, there's my beef with '06. Sorry guys, but I am a Shadow fan. It is something Sega needed to do for the characters for the direction they were going with the story way back when. Shadow isn't a bad concept, and he could be a good character. Sega's just... well, changed. Hell, look at the development team now! A lot of our original team is gone. What the hell is Sonic team now?

Getting back on topic, this concept doesn't look so bad. Being rumored a PS3, 360 release, I should hope for a lot of content. But here's my idea... with all the disc space we have now, they could remake ALL of the original Sonic games on one disc, only use modern graphics and redo the music (a-la Jun Senoue's remake for Angel Island on SSBB or maybe Project Chaos' music from S3&K). Then put all of the good games together (Sonic 1, 2, 3&K) and let us use all of the classic characters. After that, why not let us unlock some of the modern guys by playing the game the way it was supposed to be. Sure, let us unlock Shadow, Amy, Blaze, M. laboratorium, a Dodge Caravan, I don't care, do what they want, but start with that original chemistry.

THEN, you make some new levels after that, call it Sonic 4 for all I care, and give it a plot. Hell, make it for all next gens, and add some downloadable content; new levels, chars, power-ups, whatever. Now we've got it, a complete mixture that makes all fans happy, and gives Sega some new, original motivation. Where could they go from there?

Well, what do you think?

 

I am all for a New Sonic the Hedgehog along the lines of New Super Mario Bros.

 

That was Sonic Rush. =P

Assets in full unedited quality

 

No cover for the Xbox magazine?

UH-OH

 

This I gotta to see o.o [haven't got Sonic '06]

Trailer for sonic unleashed.
Actually looks half decent =/

 

To be honest I'd be surprised to see a platformer get the cover on a Xbox magazine. It's not really the type of game that interests the regular 360 owner. I don't think this acts as an outright confirmation that the game's not coming out for the system, by any means.

You're a little late.

 

heh, nice Saz. Hopefully it comes out as good as the video.

 

There's no excuse for this it's been posted so many times by now. And before you give me the "Well this topic is X pages"... Saz posted it on THIS VERY PAGE.

Anyway, thanks Saz. The Sonic render looks good. He doesn't look like a 6 foot tall freak anymore.

EDIT:
after watching the HQ vid of the gameplay... this REALLY looks good. I just wish I had enough trust in Sega to assure myself that they aren't going to blow it.

 

The way he was yelling around that entire battle, I'd say he deserved it, if not deserved more.

 

One thing I noticed during the trailer, between 58 and 60 seconds didn't it take quite a while for the shadows to load in the background?

I know it's not a huge deal since gameplay is what's important, but I like to see that it's polished graphically too.

 

It's the right part of the level you're talking about, right? I think that the camera in that level is just for dynamic camera crap. Sega loves to do that in their trailers. I'm guessing that in the final, the camera view would be much different (More of a sideways view instead).

 

That shouldn't be a problem if the rest of the graphics are okay though, right?
Sonic Unleashed looks something of a SATSR and Sonic '06 mashup. The mechs and stuff from '06, mixed in with the desert scenes from SATSR. The graphics are looking reeaal good. And general gameplay is looking mighty fine. This is possibly a comeback for Sega.

 

I think Sega overall is fine. It's just Sonic that really sucks.

 

No I was talking about the trees on the left side. One second they have no shadows and the next they do. Sorry I should have been more clear about this.
I suppose if it is sideways then it might be a little harder to see, but still seems kind of bad for the first official trailer to have a noticable flaw like that.
