He haven’t seen the scans to verify claims just yet, but there reportedly is a Dutch magazine called Power Unlimited that is revealing some brand new details about Sonic Unleashed.
TimmiT posts at TSS:
-By doing some button presses while jumping you’ll jump farther (stunts?)
-China level confirmed, in which Sonic runs over the big Chinese wall
-New York level confirmed, in which you run over the high buildings
-There’s a level in which you bobsled (snow level?)
-There are minigames in which you play as Tails
-They tried to hide Were-Sonic, but a employee made a little mistake in which they accidentally showed a cutscene in which Were-Sonic met Amy, then 5 employee’s jumped before the screen to hide the rest of the cutscene.
Still doing some verifying on this one. Power Unlimited is indeed a dutch magazine, and they did just release an issue according to discussions seen on their forums. So far, I haven’t found any mention of Sonic Unleashed though in online discussions.
So, here’s a call to arms. Any dutch readers we may have, we need your help with this one! If you can find the magazine (or you subscribe to it) we need some proof that these are legitimate statements made in the most recent issue. !
I am dutch,so I can verify this later.
Power unlimited is a … paticulair magazine.
You know,whew they reviewed wind waker,a pic had this information about the deku leaf.
pic 1 link holds leaf
´´If link is going to fly with that leaf,I am going to run around naked´´
pic 2 link flies with leaf ´´lucky that nobody reads those smalls texts..´´
Just typically power unlimited to see something they aren´t suposed to see…
And I will see this mag soon,my friends brother has it often.
And for the info..
AMY AND WHEREHOG IS WIN.
new york level seems cool
sonic running on the chinese wall.. that is actually quite clever..
cool.
maybe “las vegas” can be the tipic casino level….
Well i am looking foward to seeing the cutscene where Amy sees her Beloved Blue Boyfriend turned into a Big Beast. Also i am wondering if the arial movements are going to be similar to the SA2:B jumps with Speed Boosters in front of them.
Sonic running OVER the Great Wall of China? …Like, running on the path, or, like, running up it and then running down it. EITHER WAY, BADASS.
…New York, eh? They do seem to be trying to cement Sonic’s world as a alternate version of Earth, what with a China and New York style level and the Europe level being called “High Europe”. The peeps that still keep callin’ it Mobius won’t have any ground to stand on when this thing comes out. o___o;;
Bobsledding? Well, it IS a really fast sport, so I could see Sonic doing that…only WITHOUT the bobsled. XD Just laying down on his back or stomach and just going through with it.
Tails! Well, the game is 95% Sonic, so if we…count playing as “Weresonic” in that, we’ll have the remaining 5% for other characters. Admittedly, I’d think that having the other players doing short minigames instead of Sonic Adventure style gameplay would be good. Maybe you can play with them in the levels in a Free Play mode after you beat the minigames…and you can use that intuitive interface to play the minigames again whenever you want after you cleared them. I sure hope they’re better than Sonic and the Secret Ring’s minigames…
“They tried to hide Were-Sonic, but a employee made a little mistake in which they accidentally showed a cutscene in which Were-Sonic met Amy, then 5 employee’s jumped before the screen to hide the rest of the cutscene.”
Real smooth, SEGA. XD WAY TO PUT YOUR BACKS INTO IT. …heh, I do hope that it’s real, I’d love to see a scan of the magazine, even though I do not understand Dutch. D’:
believe me,sega is getting a verbal smackdown from them..
Tried looking at the forums,but failed finding the topic.
Did anyone see the cutscene? :’D Hehehe, just kidding.
Where DID they “accidently” show a bit of the cutscene?
Ooooh…China.
Ooooh… New York. XD
Still, it’ll be such an andrenaline rush bouncing of all the tall buildings, flying over traffic and people miles below.
Hopefully, SEGA will finally be able to relax if they show Weresonic at E3. (Only 3 weeks!! *squee* It starts a around 3 days before I break up for the summer.)
@iNAUDiBLE: We can always translate the text
Folks, take this with a grain of salt for now. The Sonic hype machine is the only thing driving these statements at this point, since I haven’t seen a single scan to actually justify these claims.
If Sonic runs through the Great Wall of China at 300 MPH, wouldn’t that scare citizens? The great wall of China is big, but is 300 MPH too fast for a citizen to notice?
At Mach Speed, I do not think much people would notice… but I don’t know about 300 MPH.
I am curious as to if the cutscene with Amy was FMV. I’d like to a see a CG or FMV cutscene to see if this game graphics looks as good as it.
@blah…okay:
see sonic X
much people are like,what just passed?
are women´s skirts are blown up all the time.
Were-Sonic may be too angry to tolerate Amy’s nonsense.
I am more intrested about amy´s reaction.
And it depends on if amy sees sonic change.
most likely she will flee.
I’m not looking forward to the pressing buttons idea. I hated how that worked in Rush/Rush Adventure… but most likely, since the NP article talked about doing “action-chains” to fill up your boost gauge, it will be like the trick system in those two games. Sigh. I think it would work much better having the boost gauge only filled up by rings.
@dragonite:
Dragonite, what will you do if Amy’s “reaction” to Sonic turning into a werewolf is… asking him out on a date.
@blah…okay:
BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH,FATAL ERROR.
“run over the high buildings”
Say hello to bottomless pits. Every Sonic game is not complete without em’.
*gasp* The cutscene! Noooooooo!!!! *dives in to block* You saw NOTHING here today! XD
wow, weresonic meeting amy. would like to have someone confirm that
LOL I was just thinking what would happen if Weresonic met Knuckles…
Maybe the cutscene has blood?(unlikely)
I think WereSonic meeting Shadow would be hilarious…
But really, I’m skeptical due to all this information being pretty obvious “wish fullfillment”. Who doesn’t want China and NY stages in this “real world” level design? And a Weresonic/Amy scene? Button pressing is kind of sort of confirmed elsewhere…It could be true, but it’s hard to say.
Shadow may not care much about WereSonic.
Amy on the other hand… will ask WereSonic out on a date. In Sonic Heroes, Amy actually throws you off a building, into a bottomless pit after saying “there’s no way out of marrying me.”
WereSonic is slower than Sonic? He may not be able to outrun Amy this time. Unless he finally attacks her.
I think we all need a werehog’s gameplay footage to see his moves ( don’t worry sonic i will buy the game and help you get back to normal
)
Hmm… WereSonic meets Amy huh? Will the Night Stages be revealed at E3? (Sorry if that’s a stupid question).
(Sorry for double posting admin)
WereSonic and Amy cutscene, eh? This sure will be interesting. I knew Sonic will meet his friends in his new werehog form but I’m glad it’s confirmed now.
Now I wanna see that cutscene…
I don’t think she’ll even know that’s Sonic and she’ll probably attck him with her hammer.
@sonicfan1984: True… After all, she mistaked Shadow and Sliver for Sonic so who knows?
Anyway, all I care about right now is how Tails and any other possible playable characters will fit in (and Amy reaction to Sonic the Werehog).
heh, The running gag of Amy mistaking other ‘hogs for Sonic is pretty funny.
i bet she wont notice until sonic starts running or something and an NY level would be awsome over buildings? i think it’ll be more of a platformer instead of straight on speed
I had a small giggle over the Amy and WereSonic cutscene thing- moreso over the mistake then the SonAmy-ness or whatever. I can definitely picture how that cutscene would pan out. Interestingly in the least. XD
Well, lets imagine what would happen!
I say… Amy sees WereSonic…. and says… “don’t think you can get away that easy!”
Sonic says! “Arrghh! I’m a monster!” Amy says, “thats not going to work.”
A boss battle between WereSonic and Amy will begin. If you are to lose this battle, Sonic will be married to Amy. The sadness in WereSonic’s eyes will make him less scary, and Robotnik will take over the world.
However, a new character appears. Wait a minute, its Shadow the Hedgehog! He stops Robotnik by using Chaos Control, and Sonic is turned back into normal. Sonic files for a divorce with Amy.
THE END…
Of course, this is just speculation.
I TOTALLY called the Wolf-Sonic/Amy scene! LOL, they REALLY want to keep that under wraps ’till E3, don’t they?
I find it funny how they’re attempting to keep the game under wraps as much as possible and parts keep getting leaked or accidentally released. A New York level, eh? It’s not going to be Station Square is it? Ha ha ha.
New York? China’s Great Wall?!
Also, Im still laughing at that WereSonic coverup.
Great Info. Keep em comin!
I can’t remember either the last time I picked up PU or whether I picked it up at all, so I can’t say how reliable PU is. NGamer is quite reliable though.
Hello there,
I’d post a scan, but i still need to get my scanner to work.
I’ve seen the forum of the site, there’s a topic about the latest issue, but it doesn’t say what’s all included.
You can see here what’s in the latest issue: http://www.powerweb.nl/editie.jsp?rubriek=423253
It doesn’t say anything about Sonic Unleashed at the previews, but at Extra there’s “Effe langs bij Sega in Tokio”, which had a part about Sonic Unleashed.

Great!Sonic is going to past the continente ASIA
Since i couldn’t scan it, i took a photo of the article:

There’s your proof. (though you might have trouble reading/translating it)
@TimmiT: Thanks so much TimmiT! We’ll get to work on it asap. We’re all very appreciative of your efforts!
Were-Sonic may offend Tails. Tails is a fox, right? Don’t foxes look kinda like wolves? Tails may not see it as “that bad.”
[...] you may have seen us mention the possibility of some new Sonic Unleashed information being mentioned in Dutch Magazine, “Power Unlimited”. We weren’t entirely sure that they article existed, making us a bit skeptical of [...]
