Poll Results: Who Shouldn’t be in Sonic Unleashed
Remember that poll we held back in May? The one where we let the viewers declare who they DIDN’T want to see in Sonic Unleashed?
Well, nearly 1,500 votes later, we’ve decided to post results from said poll. I honestly never imagined there to be such a high turn out… such a display of hatred for some characters… but alas, I digress.
Cream pulls out on top (or bottom depending on how you look at it) with a whopping 949 votes. That’s over 64% of you who thought Cream would be the worst thing that could happen to Sonic Unleashed.
Shortly following her, we see Silver, Rogue, and Blaze each receiving over 40% (remember, multiple votes were allowed). Shadow and Amy both pulled in over 20% of the vote, with Tails and Knuckles coming close at 7 and 5% respectively.
On a side note, don’t forget to cast your vote in our Sonic Unleashed Chao Poll.

you spelled “Rouge” wrong =P
Why do people try to convince other people that being stronger means a better character?
Well, it doesn’t.
Wow. Cream beat Silver?!
Crazy…
Poor Blaze D:
Meh Cream is pretty useless. But Rouge has no point anymore.
^ Hey! I like Silver! Well, I don’t really care who is in and who is not, I just want a good Sonic game dang it.
@iNAUDiBLE: thanks for silencing the whole hate of silver and shadow thing because it doesnt add to the conversation or it’s pretty boring to read when all u see is “silver should die” or “shadow uses a gun omg!!!”
first of all in the PLAY magazine Sonic Unleashed Feature Silver is and so far the only character confirmed not to be in the game while Amy,Tails and Knuckles are left and with it Blaze and Shadow remain to be the last two characters that may or may not be in the game but now who do u desire more than the other Shadow or Blaze?? Please say your thoughts in the comments
@UmbreonTheDark: I agree i want a good sonic game i wont HATE it depending on who makes an appearance
wow do people not like silver or just think that he doesn’t fit in this game?
For anyway who wants to know, there is a knew video just appeared in the Sega FTP server for Sonic Unleashed called Pre-E3. I’m downloading it right now.
On a side note, I liked Silver and Blaze for their differences from the other characters. I voted on Cream and Rouge because they seemed to not fit in quite as well.
Finished downloading the video. It doesn’t have any game play footage or anything of the sort, but it does leave the hope I had that Sonic might not be quite as innocent when he is changed. The only thing is that the game couldn’t be rated “E for everyone” if Sonic went rampant like I hope he does.
@DarkChaos: dude thanks for the heads up that was cool i thought it looked awsome especially the weresonic one….
I will post now that, I like all da Hedgehogs. I know that Shadow has great hand eye coordination, knows how to drive vehicles, can flip buses with one hand, can use chaos control and other abilities, and with out his rings, can blow out a whole army of mephs.
But this is the thing that many seem to not understand. Shadow is the strongest, but is not the best. Sonic could easily catch them by surprise with his speed(Yeah I know not much on Sonic).
@doc a doc: The thing is that Silver didn’t even know Sonic was good. He thought that Sonic was evil and was going to release iblis and destroy the world. All he wanted to do was save everyone, it’s just no-one really knew it.
why does everyone keep saying that sonic is not as cool as the other two hedgehogs.
He is the best i dont care if shadow is an exact copy i reckon he could still go faster but sega made a huge mistake in making sonic inferior to silver in 06. Lets just ignore that and say
SONIC ROCKS!
but thats off the point.
I think it would be pretty cool to have amy and rouge. But i hope cream isnt there. She is SO cute but i just dont like the idea of her in unleashed.
Sonic is probably the favorite of most Sonic fans.
My favorites are Silver/Tails tied for first, Sonic second, Shadow/Amy for third, and Big last.
I never voted in the poll, but I would have to say that Silver/Blaze would be the last to join Unleashed. I just wish that they would make Tails less ghey and more like he was in Adventure 2. In all the new games he seems to be acting younger and gheyer. I always use Tails when I use the chao garden in SA2B.
@TailstheHedgehog: Yeah, the way I described Sonic wasn’t good. In adventure2, Sonic could beat shadow because they were exactly the same. Now, sonic is just like he used to be, but shadow is now “The COOL GUY” with all these awesome powers and super strength, is INVINCIBLE, AND is pretty fast. which makes him virtually unstoppable.
But what I am confused about now is; is shadow even an anti-hero anymore or is he a just plain hero like everyone else?
Ok, just posting a new teaser because it is a good chance nobody saw it yet: http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/19901
Shadow is netural, Silver has ’special’ powers, and Sonic is guy that speeds to them and scorches them if he uses Choas Control then run at his fastest.
@Spittingup: Sega has left us a little confused in character positions. And i’m not sure if shadow i anti-hero. I think i would like him better though if he still has a dark streak in him. For example he may not be to concerned about harming a few civilians if they get in his way of completing a mission or something. That would be pretty cool to see one of the heroes argueing with him over that.
arguing
@ D2B:
the teaser shows nothing you mentioned.
But it looks awesome!!
I too have always wished that they kept Shadow as a villain instead of an “anti-hero”. I always liked his character design. He was such a great villain in SA2. Tricking the doctor to gather the emeralds for the eclipse cannon when he really knew that the colony was programed to plunge to earth once all the emeralds were collected to get revenge on the humans for maria. So evil! But then he had to remember what he really promised Maria, when Amy triggered that memory. And he just hasn’t been the same. Though he was pretty evil in his own game. Still don’t think he needed guns.
Anyway, I’m rambling…I voted for Cream. She’s just too childish for this game, in my opinion. My favorite character is Sonic and Metal Sonic is a very close second. Knuckles is third, Tails and Amy tie for fourth. Shadow is also one of my favorites. Those are the only characters I’d like to see in Unleashed. and ofcourse its not a Sonic game without Eggman.
I wonder who the big bad boss will be. I really liked metal sonic and mephilis. Or maybe the new baddie character will be the werehog. That would b cool
if they bring rouge into S.U. then there is no doubt that there will be interspecies romance if knuckles is in there to… knuckles is an echidna(close relative to hedgehogs) and rouge is a bat in other words, she might know batman (maybe a little more than some fans do if you catch my drift…) anyway i think they should keep cream and big out, i mean seriously… “froggy where are you, oh i didnt know you were on the chair froggy, and why are you red…” “lets go blaze, sick em cheese, oh no, your almost there blaze…” <_< those lines could pour out of my head for a year, jeez!!! i hate their stupid voices, cream’s gives me a headache and big’s makes me feel like barfing from the stupidity!!! thats all folks!
Characters I don’t want in the game-
Big the Cat
Cream
Rouge
Silver
Shadow
Just keep them for the spin-off games. :)
@D2B: That wuz LAME lol
@Xeternalstar: Dude, echidnas belong to the class tachyglossidae. A family of monotremes. Which their relative is the platypus.
Because if Knuckles clearly was a relative to Sonic, then Amy can produce eggs. Seriously, hedgehogs aren’t related to that animal, being echidnas and playpuses are the only egg laying mammal on this planet.
On the final note, hedgehogs have their own family. Want the cloest relative to that? It’s the shrew.
Heh. What about Big?
LOOK GUYS NEW WEREHOG TEASER!!
http://youtube.com/watch?v=EFMcu62I0og
a bit commercialish..
but cool,and it confirms sonic will have city levels at night,
also the poor logo get schratched again and again,and the old teaser’s ring is now part of holiday 2O00.lol
@Chaos Blast: it was awesome! I was searching for a better look at the werehog. But it was impossible. Guess thats y they call it teaser.
E3 needs to hurry up.
Seriously.
@KC Cross: I agree :D
Wow…
What happened in the part with the stray video camera because all I saw was the shadow of a hand.
Also, If Shadow is in this game and still part of gun, I doubt they’d let him hurt citizens. But if they do have Chao World, I hope they turn dark when he pets them.
Plus a VERY awesome screencap from the video:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v158/KnucklesChao/wereSonic.jpg
@Chaos Blast: Woah Now that’s cool! where in the video was that?
Can I just say that Cream is not a terrible character. Neither are Silver or Jet, for that matter. None of them are terrible as characters – it’s the programming (and, in Jet’s case, the genre) of their games that people dislike and that somehow spreads onto the characters in it. I mean, Jesus Christ, people. I’ve heard death threats against these guys. Death threats against FICTIONAL CHARACTERS.
Cream woud just not be FITTING for this game. That’s her only problem. Come to think of it, Rouge, Blaze and Shadow are actually perfect alternatives to Amy, Knuckles and Tails, considering the game’s mood is meant to be dark and crazy. And has nobody noticed that Shadow has actually quit whining about Maria? He got over it. Why don’t any of you?
This Alexa Woods lady also doesn’t sound like a Sonic character, but more like a fan-character or a self-insert. The fact that she hasn’t been shown or mentioned once and yet some strange person unrelated to SEGA has just announced her out of the blue is a bit fishy.
Huh, fish. On a related note to that, they managed to get Big into SatSR by making cameos on side-quests, in long-overdue response to the cameos missing from SA2:B. That happened to be a rather popular move. They just might do it again.
@Spittingup:
I dunno! I found it at TSS. XD
Holy crap, Look at the FANGS on him! :O This game, Is gonna go down in gaming history.
@Chaos Blast: Wow, that’s a much better picture than my sister screencaptured! I’m so giddy about this new trailer and E3! It’s going to be a great summer. ^_^
Oh, and about the poll, I actually think that, if done right, Cream could be an interesting adition to the Sonic Unleashed roster for the very reasons you guys think she shouldn’t be in the game. Kind, polite, gentle Cream… being protected or in someway connecting or contacting with Sonic in his Werewolf form. IF DONE RIGHT, I think Cream would be a nice wildcard character to throw in the mix.
I saw that picture before it was shown here. Pause the vid at 1:08 exactly and it will be there. I tried to print the pic and scan it, but I saw it here before I could do that.
Nice find, and I hope this game is as awesome as everyone says it will be!
…Weresonic scares me. D’:
…and were-things don’t usually scare me…
AWESOME! :D
TSSZ reports on the fan reaction…
…Alright, where is this uproar of negativity that I was expecting on here? I was expecting everybody to be foaming up in the mouth with rage! XD
@umiyuri: Yeah, yeah, I agree. Why the eff is everybody taking it so freakin’ seriously? I agree that they would be nice alternatives to have…but maybe more on the “nighttime” side of things?
“And has nobody noticed that Shadow has actually quit whining about Maria? He got over it. Why don’t any of you?”
THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT I SAID! …well, not really, I simply asked why people refuse to adknowledge Shadow’s character development.
I asked the dude who made the blog post that if he had any actual concrete proof, to go contact Camp Sonic. I personally doubt he has any though…
Yes, I loved Big’s cameos in those games, and I’d love to see them again. Because, well, while people may not like playing as him, they sure do like to see what sort of wacky hijinx he has gotten himself into. (Can Froggy come with him this time too?)
@Xeternalstar: Alright, buddy, now I wish they’d put Big in the game to spite you. :P
Honestly, he isn’t THAT stupid to sit on his best friend. D’: The only issue I have with Big is the voice acting. He isn’t exactly the brightest bulb in the socket, but he isn’t a freakin’ retard either; so why make him SOUND that way? You know that Shadow says more than just “MARIA”? Big says more than “FROGGY, WHERE ARE YOU?”…with a voice like that, it only adds more emphasis to the times that he does say it. D’: I can only hope that Bioware’s portayal of Big in Sonic Chronicles (slightly smarter, with a big heart) inspires Sonic Team to…ahem…portray Big that way in any other regular Sonic games.
Awwwww…. I like cream….
Why wouldn’t people want Tails and Knuckles? Cream and Amy I can understand. Shadow, I wouldn’t mind if he STAYED AWAY FROM THE VEHICLES AND GUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!
tails and knuckles got voted :S
YAY CREAM LEAST POPULAR WOO!!!
shadow would be good in the game but people have to drop the guns thing he hasn’t used em since ShTH. and i reckon vehicles are alright it separates his game play from sonics.
In an ideal Sonic world these are the only characters that would exist.
Sonic
Tails
Knuckles
Amy
Metal Sonic
Princess Sally
Dr. Robotnik
The Chao
But we don’t live in that world now do we?
OMEGA would be the best character added on. Rouge gave the Sonic games a cooler edge why does everybody hate her?
Poor Cream…:( I guess she can’t be in them all.
shadow and silver will not be in the game because
if sonic IS a warehog would that make shadow a vampire
and as for silver well…Its not that I dont like the other hegehogs
I mean:
1 silver,sonic, and shadow rock
2sould have and sonic pwn sil-at least once in 06
3it will probly be on pc and mac you
wii ownig winers
4the reson why is because: way back in 2006 06 was supost to
to be case and point oblivion
5that ”dragon” IS in the game its the creature eggman unleased
ps it was funy when shadow roundhoused silver
and I ended up loseing cause I could’nt stop laughing
