this is stupid, I like every Sonic character! Shadow, SIlver, Blaze, everyone could be in the new game and I would love that!!
They could be a part of the story! You meet Silver in a special point of the story, another time Rouge, why do you guys hate everyone?You must´n play them but I would like to see them in the game, multyplayer, story…etc.
I don’t know. I personally don’t care who’s in the game, as long as the gameplay and/or story is good and the characters are describe greatly well.
Oh, and @ admin on his response to me on the last update- I didn’t know that until you tell me. Ok?
Following should’ve be added on the list: Espio, Vector and Charmy as one choice. Also, Silver and Cream have the most votes… *chuckles*
*Waiting for the plotline to be something like a pattern*
I voted every character except for Tails and Knuckles. I will not have these new characters trying to take the spotlight of those who actually deserve it.
I would actually enjoy seeing shadow in there, lets just get rid of the guns shall we?
As for who I voted against: Cream, Silver, Blaze, Rogue
“I voted every character except for Tails and Knuckles. I will not have these new characters trying to take the spotlight of those who actually deserve it.”
But Amy’s not a new character, she been around just as long as Tails and Knuckles…. she deserves just as much spotlight, I wish Sonic Team would work on her character more then just being a hopeless fangirl.
Anyway, I voted for Shadow, Cream, Silver and Blaze. Those are the characters that will hog most of the attention.
silver desivers to not be in any more sonic games after sonic next gen
silver needs to be destroyed permanently
Also, what’s the point in adding in Amy, Knuckles and Tails in the poll if they’re already confirmed to show up in Unleashed (I also heard that Shadow will be in it, too)?
So it doesn’t matter how many votes they get and it doesn’t matter if we want those characters in the game or not.
In: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles & Dr Robotnik (Doctor Eggman? wtf?)
Out: Everybody else.
I actually expected people to want blaze over shadow, but i dont know what i was thinking. Why choose a unique, Original Character when you can have a copied dark sonic.
Anyways, IMO it should be: Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles – As Playable… Maybe Blaze. Eggman, Amy, Blaze – as story characters… maybe Shadow if they work on his character more instead of just insisting that he is an angry sonic.
For example: 1 The “ultimate” life form thing, should just be all ego instead of actually making him the ultimate life form because it just takes away the spotlight from other characters who shouldnt be left out to make room for cloned character.
2 Instead of insisting he can do anything that is unique to other charcters ,aka Knuckles strength/ sonic’s speed, They should make him unique and have be stronger than sonic, but not as strong as kncukles, Fast in general, but not as fast as Sonic. While at the same time they focus on his abilities to use a variety
chaos control aka teleport and whatnot.
One more thing, what is the difference between the personalities of Espio and shadow? they both are loners/ deep voiced/ quiet charcters and espio came first plus he is a ninja so therefor i declare that shadow get the charcter/personality change or improvement. Sorry for this being so long. I just had to get all thins out before i murdered someone.
I don’t like cream, she is an ok character but I don’t like her design and neather Rouge’s ( weird big heads)
@ D2B – I really was just trying to name the ones I considered to be popular additions to the Sonic titles.
@ sonicfan – I’m not trying to go against you here, as I don’t think Amy is really as bad as some of the other characters (personal opinion), but to be fair, Amy has not been around as long as Tails or Knuckles.
Also, this poll is just something that I decided to run to see what the communities thoughts were about the game. It won’t make a difference, but I’d like to hear what other people have to say. And to squelch a rumor, Shadow has not yet been confirmed.
I voted for everyone except tails, knuckles, and amy.
I don’t really care about other characters than Sonic, Tails and Knuckles. Although, I like most of the characters.
What I don’t like is the fact that new characters continue to come and we don’t really get any closer connection to the one that already exists…
Stay with the ones we’ve already got instead of creating new one which will be forgotten :)
I voted Amy, Cream and Rouge. I take back Amy, for although she is a horrible pink pest, I’d love to see her reaction to Weresonic.
Cream needs to die, and Rouge dosen’t really have a purpose.
Poor Silver. He his hated among society. D: I think he should be in, for he his one of the Three main Hedgehogs, even though it has been confirmed that he isn’t in.
@admin – Yes she did, she has been around since Sonic CD in 1993. Sometimes people mistakes her as a new character cause of her complete makeover in Sonic Adventure.
I think every character should be playable in multiplayer, but have only Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy in the main story.
That way everybody’s happy. That’s just my opinion.
I agree with Mike.
@ sonicfan – Thank you for correcting me. I never owned one of those =(
No problem. ;)
mm, maybe can appear all the characters,,but only like a short cameo… i focus the game more in eggman, sonic, tails and knuckles…
You Guys Are meam!!! So They Some Characters You Don’t like Big Deal!!! All They Have To Do Is Make Sonic Big Other Characters Can Have A part too. They Don’t get Rid of any but those Who Didn ‘t vote and agree with me I Give Props those who want Some characters gone or dead DOOM ON YOU!!!!
Mike had the best idea ever.
The only ones I don’t want to show up in this game are Cream, Blaze and Rouge. Cream is just a little girl. Blaze is from another dimension, she doesn’t need to show up. Rouge I just don’t like.
Everyone else I can see having a good role in the game, just as long as they stick to what made Sonic games good instead of giving them weapons like guns and vehicles.
I agree with mike only no amy in the main game.
I’m so exsieded for sonic Unleasued!! But I do want Silver
the hedgehog in the game, Because, His REALLY COOL!!!
Come On sega, Bring silver in the game!!!!
I think that only Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy deserve to be in this game. Sonic gets a freebee because he is the main character, Tails and Knuckles haven’t been playable as main characters since Sonic Heroes, and Amy needs a game where she can whack people’s heads with her hammer and be able to run decently fast.
and Dr. Robotnick (Not Eggman) should be his name to return to form.
This will bring all the old fans running back to play this.
To please the new fans, I think a multiplayer feature is in order, with most of the characters present. Maybe a racing mode like Sonic Rush/ Rivals?
The Chao Garden should also make a return here, and go online like Sonic Chronicles will be doing.
The other characters are unnecessary for this game, as they have been in their own games quite recently, and need to let the real characters have the spotlight for once.
I think mudkips should be playable
I don’t really care about characters as long as they stop here! Anyways characters such as Amy deserve much more respect than Shadow so I don’t see whats wrong with her she’s been around longer.
well for once I DO love all the characters but they are critizised so much, that its necessary that there arent many characters, and to focus in Sonic, I love Silver and Blazes design but they would bring more plotholes and it isnt like you recieve a visit from the future everyday right? Shadow…errr I dont like him very much, but he is Sonics rival so it would be interesting as a boss or something, who know maybe wolf sonic kicking his ass (finally xD) cream isnt necessary she is cute but maybe just in a CGI scene or something Rouge…is good but somehow I dont want her in the game and thats it, Sonic, Eggman, Tails Knux, Beast Sonic and maybe Shadow not to focus on him just in the story.
@ *SOS – but Amy is one of the original 4. She even came along before Knuckles. Sure she’s annoying, but what fangirl isn’t?
@ Mudkips – As much as I liek Mudkips. I see no reason for them. Torchics might be acceptable.
Amy and Sonic scenes, comedy level: high
Amy and Werewolf Sonic scenes, comedy level: VERY high!
I Think sonic, shadow, silver, Knuckles, tails, And eggman,
Should be in sonic unleashed! And amy also!!
And Blaze, Well….. Blaze Diad in sonic next-gen at the end of silver’s story.So why wood sega say Blaze? She diad.
And I REALLY like the werehog thing!! It sounds cool!!
I hope we play as sonic’s werehog form! Oh, and about cream, I don’t want cream in the game. Because, I mean,
She’s cool and all, But I don’t want her in sonic unleashed.
She mit mess up the story. And I hope jason griffith show’s EMOTION to SONIC THE HEDGEHOG in ths game!! And mostly his WEREHOG!!
I Mean in THIS game.
@ mike: Amy should be in the story, but not a playable character. Maybe playable in multiplayer like u said.
@ Ssonic22: Sonic games r less about plot and more about gameplay. & honestly if blaze gives the gameplay variety and an over all better experience, like knuckles did in s3&k, then throw her in.
I chose Cream, Shadow, Silver and Rouge.
I can’t believe so many people voted for Blaze. :(
Hmm… I don’t really dislike any of the characters. I’d prefer only Sonic being playable. But as for the rest, I don’t really mind them being in the game, because that doesn’t necessarily mean they have to take part in the story. They might appear in the multiplayer modes? (If there is any).
WTF? Amy SHOULD be a playable character in Unleashed as well as Sonic, Tails and Knuckles. =/ I can’t believe I’m hearing people who don’t want Amy as playable. Do YOU know that are female gamers like me who want to play this game? If you don’t want Rouge, Cream or Blaze to be playable or not even to appear, then let Amy be playable. Sheesh, I’m tired of just MALE characters just being playble in story modes. Again, I’ll be hugely disappointed if Shadow gets to be playable and Amy doesn’t. Silver shouldn’t even >appear< in this game. He is one of these characters that are blowing other character’s spotlights. Please Sega, I know Amy has been confirmed but PLEASE let her be playable…PLEASE!
Not trying to start an argument, but I honestly see the hatred of characters like “Shadow” and others very equivalent to the hatred people have against other consoles. Some people like their Playstation… and dislike Wii/others… even if it had the same games.
In my opinion, I do not have a problem with any alternate Sonic characters, as long as I’m not forced to play as them. From my point of view, Shadow seems to be the same as Espio from Sonic Heroes. That “gun” thing in Shadow to me is no different than Espio’s ninja star. Instead of a “throwing star” animation… its a gunfire animation… its the same exact thing. With that being said, Tails used guns in Sonic Adventure2 with a machine. Unless you get technical as in “he’s supposed to… or he’s not supposed to do this…” like Star Wars fans complain about… to me its no different… if Shadow is a faster version of E-102 from Sonic Adventure… let it be.
In “Sonic the Hedgehog” for 360 in 2006, I do not think Shadow uses guns… but he uses a KAMEHAMEHA wave… much stronger.
I agree with Samantha here. I think Amy should be playable…after all she IS one of the original 4…Sonic, Tails, Amy and Knuckles….Amy has a huge huge fanbase as well as “SonAmy” (I think?) But don’t get me wrong I don’t want Sonamy stuff in this game. I don’t mind Amy in this game as playable at all in story mode. Who knows? She can be quite fun to use. Also it will help the gamers who are female.
Blaze is female. Shed be a better choice for a playable female character in story mode. Amy would mess with the flow of the game. Example of this is Sonic Adventure. Big and Amy were least desired stories to play and they just didnt flow with the pace of sonic’s gameplay. However Blaze can keep up the pace if not make it better with her style. Also id like to add that in SA2 amy was funny to play as in multiplayer. I dont have anything against amy. I just think she should stay in the story cut scenes and out of the H.U.D. if u know what im saying. However Multiplayer is a good choice for her.
I voted on everyone but Tails, Knuckles and Amy.
I think that, because Tails and Knuckles were along Sonic since the Mega-Drive days. They should be his adventure partners once again in this game. And with all the new characters that have been created, Sonic seems to no longer pay much attention to them.
I didn’t vote for Amy because, since she was already confirmed, I might as well agree. If she wasn’t, I would be kinda in a dead end. I mean, she’s alright. But she humiliated* Sonic so many times I wouldn’t want to see her in this game too. Who knows how she’ll be like. Anyways, I hope to see her less childish, and giving Sonic more space. And at the same time, I want to see Sonic being more respectful to her, instead of just running away. That’s not funny.
I don’t want to see Rouge because she’s too sexy for a Sonic game. And with her new voice, I like her even less.
I guess the same goes to Shadow. I would like to see him because he never appeared in a side-scrolling game. But with his new voice, I rather have only the ones that are already confirmed. Besides, he was cooler when he didn’t appear much. I appeared in most of the 3D titles, but instead of that, he could have appeared in SADV3 or another one, and not appear in one of the 3D games he is in.
I don’t want to see Team Chaotix because they’re dumb. They ruin the story and make it too kiddy. And it doesn’t even get funny. It’s just my opinion, though. If only one of them appeared, I’d like it to be Espio. He’s cool. I’m putting him in my fangame, unless I change my mind during the development.
Cream is annoying. I liked her in Heroes and the SADV games, but that’s it.
I actually like Blaze and Silver. But I want SEGA to save them for another game. And their weird powers make Sonic’s look like… more regular.
*Sonic Rush and Sonic Riders’ endings, for example.
… I spelled the 7 wrong.
I hate cream. Many of the new charecter is unuseless like cream.
I hope Sonic is the only playable, but may one of the other character can appear as playable in the multiplayer mode like in secret rings.(If the put a multiplayer mod in the game)
P.S. Sorry for my bad english.
@SOS Excuse me? Amy would WHAT? =/ Mess up the game? She would not mess up the game, pal. Blaze is female, I agree but she is one of the “next-gen” characters. See what I mean that Blaze is ruining other character’s spotlights? I have nothing against Blaze, she’s an awesome character and in fact IMO the ONLY good next gen character…but if you prefer Blaze to be playable instead of Amy, see what I mean? These new characters are just ruining old character’s spotlights. She’s way MORE than a “multiplayer” character I tell you. Way more. But Amy’s confirmed in story anyway…but I just want her playable…if she’s playable, then I’ll be extremely happy as well as the other girls like me around.
And please explain >more< on what you mean…”Amy just didn’t go with Sonic’s pace of gameplay” Are you talking about his speed? What are you on about?
(P.S Sorry if I’m attacking you in anyway…but in a way..I’m sorta p***ed…Amy didn’t really have her own story since Sonic Heroes…and she is now making cameo appearances because of these “new” characters being introduced…she more than a cameo/multiplayer character…way more…)
This is suppose to be Sonic Adventure 3! Shadow…Blaze..all those shouldn\’t appear really! Cream should be in, however I JUST cannot see her getting in this game…it\’s too extreme for Cream…
I\’m a Shadow fan, because Sega disappointed me with making Shadow like a soldier with guns, and all that rubbish. So I want a break from that.
Amy should be in as playable because she is the first female character in the Sonic game series…Amy has a huge fans as well, way more than Blaze, Cream and whatever. If Amy\’s in, it would really attract more audience (girls I mean). But yeah, this game will fail if Shadow comes playable and has his guns.
This is suppose to be Sonic Adventure 3! Bring back the old! Give back the old characters their spotlights back! Push aside Shadow…Blaze…and Silver…and maybe Rouge..
And about Cream, she should be in HOWEVER…this game is again looking too unsuitable for the sweet little bunny, so she must stay out of this.
I’m a Shadow fan, but Sega has ruined him…Sonic games shouldn’t have guns and all that rubbish. I want him to stay out because of this.
Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy should be playable. Amy because of her fans (example the one above me :P), she wasn’t playable for a long while now AND she was the first female character introduced into the Sonic game series.
I do support too that Amy should be playable. Tails and Knuckles hasn’t been playable for a while too…so they should be playable too..
THANK YOU! I’m serious…Amy should deserve more than this cameo appearances and stuff…it’s annoying today’s Sonic games Amy never became playable in story since Heroes…(and not counting StH2006 because she’s not playable for not even one WHOLE level…)
People are just failing to see that Shadow with his guns is ruining the games…(I don’t hate Shadow as a character, but with these guns and bombs in a Sonic game…you get my point?)
@TrueBlueJ7: Who gives a **** about the credits? Her chasing after Sonic during the credits didn’t ruin the story at all! Never did! It wasn’t funny, but was it >meant< to be funny?
