Top 10 Sonic Unleashed Questions For E3
Despite the leaks constantly dripping out new Sonic Unleashed details, there are many aspects of the next-gen title that remain shrouded in mystery. However, we’re in high hopes to see many of our questions answered during E3. Here are just a few of the things we’d like to learn before the end of the week:
- What characters will be in Sonic Unleashed? Who’s returning? Who’s out?
- Aside from Sonic, what characters will be playable, and in what manner will they be able to be played (Mini-games, unlockables, etc).
- We’ve heard multiplayer is out of the question (although new rumors seem to indicate otherwise), but will there be other Online features, such as Leaderboards or Downloadable Content?
- How does Weresonic actually play? Video Footage is something we’re all dying to see.
- Will there be Chao Gardens?
- We’ve seen several retailers put out a release date for Sonic Unleashed. Is SEGA set on a date, or is this all pure speculation?
- What levels are in Sonic Unleashed? We’ve seen or heard of several stages such as China, New York, Europe, but know there are still a few we haven’t had confirmed.
- How long is a typical level? Are the areas/levels split into several stages like the classic Sonic games?
- Photos of a dragon-like character appeared a while back. Is this the beast that was awakened at the center of the Earth?
- Will there be any sort of collectible items in Sonic Unleashed, such as collecting 50 Rings that help unlock bonus stages?
We’ll keep you updated here on Camp Sonic as we discover the answers to these questions, and hopefully many more during E3 2008!

CCOOOMMMEEEE OONNNNNNN EEEEE333333333 HURRY UP AND GET HEERREE!!!!!!!!
I paid off my 360 n Wii version already. anybody else doin that too? I got both caus I hear levels r different…i wonder how story n gameplay for the Wii version will b?
First?
Good questions.
@kkxprs: I feel your pain man. the first coference is only hours awayyyyy ^_^
@ultimatesonic: Haha, we’ve gotta cut out the “first comment” stuff. I’ll have to write-up some rules for commenting after E3 :P
Is it ok if I add one more question?
When is the date that Sega has their conference behind closed doors?
its open for all to answer okay?
@blu_7: Our showing will be on the 17th at around 2PM. Honestly, I’m a bit confused with the whole setup myself, but I’ll be sure to keep you updated if I discover anything new.
i like, if the game have a bonus stage…
and can appear superwerehog sonic?
or, supersonic, can be playable in action stages?..
Are you taking any questions?
I have some Wii specific ones!
1. Will the Wii version run in 60 frames per second by any chance? The PS360 versions were confirmed by IGN to run in 30 frames only, I’m curious if the Wii version will run in 60, just to surprise us! ;)
2. Will the Wii version have either all of the content from the PS360 versions, or not and will have exclusive content instead?
3. Is the Wii version ported from the PS2 version, or vise-versa?
4. How much different and unique is the Wii version from the PS2 version? Considering that Dimps is helping with both…
5. Will at least the Wii version have the vital Japanese voice option available? For obvious reasons *shudders*. Did Sonic ‘06 have the option in both versions? Secret Rings and Zero Gravity on the Wii had them!
6. It was mentioned in Nintendo Power that the Wii version is running on a brushed up version of an existing engine, which one is that? The Secret Rings engine?
Thanks, I really hope you can get these answered for me! :)
@Hero of legend: I’ll forward (and adjust if necessary) questions that seem suitable to our writer out at E3. Remember though: Not all of these are being answered for sure. Maybe none will be answered…
Good questions though ;)
Hi all ;) well.. uh you forgot the most important question bro :)
- Will SEGA mess up again or this will get sonic back on track? I hope this will turn out good because this game is rated 9.3 at gametrailers ;) ( Sonic deserves the 10 :/ )
@Sonic The Hedgehog: That might be a biased question to ask SEGA ;)
Hmm, plenty of questions and hopefully E3 has plenty of answers!
I have a question of my own, though: Many people have been wondering how Were-Sonic’s personality/mindset will be like. Will the Werehog be a savage monster or just our blue hero in wolves clothing?
Hey, I am known throughout my school as Sonic’s Number 1 fan, and I’ll prove that eventually! You’ll see me working for sega soon!
I already make games and I’m a huge cpu nerd and im not evev a teen!
@Hannah the Echidna:
That’s a good question cause I do too wonder if werehog Sonic will have a different persaonlity. I also wonder if werehog Sonic will recognized any of his friends or think they’re his enemies or something.
But one thing for sure, from what the trailers shows, the werehog Sonic does NOT seem friendly…
Woops, i said evev, not even! Sorry for the double comment! And dragonite, i haven’t seen a comment from u
thanks david legget:
will rouge appear in this game?
@Nano: We’re not sure, but as you can see, that’s one of our top questions ;)
When do we get info from e3? also, any1 notice that in the first leaked trailer it looks like all you need to do is push forward? it all looks automatic! and admin, your a great guy for making this site!
Oh, and i own every sonic game
I want to know about the PS2 version.
Here’s a few questions I have:
1. What’s the difference between the Wii Version and the PS2 version, besides Controls?
2.Will the WereWolf gameplay be similar in all versions of the game?
3. How different will normal sonic’s gameplay be in the Wii/PS2 from the PS3/360 version?
4. Will the Wii/PS2 versions have town stages?
I got a question, will mighty the armadillo or ray the flying squirrel re-appear? I’d like to see more Espio, and maybe some characters only in archie comics. also ask if it will have content that connects with chronicles: the dark brotherhood on the wii version. nice question, eh?
@Darkspines: I HIGHLY doubt that any of those characters will be in Unleashed. Then again, when I wrote my Werewolf Sonic Fanfic three years ago, I thought THAT would never happen. So… who knows?
You’ve covered…pretty much everything so far. Great list. :)
@Darkspines: I personally doubt that there will be any Archie characters…but good question, asking if they’ll reintroduce old characters and possibly have some connection with the DS game.
Well in a previous post on this site we learned that you can upgrade Sonic’s speed or strengh. Hmm..if it was possible to upgrade to a speed higher than 500mph, will Sonic do a sonic boom after running a bit without using the boost gauge? Just thinking of it because this game is like Sonic rush ;)
Ya, this isn’t the only game I am watching at the E3, but its definitely the one I am most excited about. I have been tracking it since the info came out at the beginning of April, and it has driven me absolutely mad. The only disappointment from what we have seen so far is the footage from the Wii version. I know that the gameplay is what matters, but that Wii version is a little hard to look at.
@JuicyMonster: You must remember, the Wii pictures are scans of a magazine, while the 360/PS3 screenshots are strait from the game. Even so, the little I’ve seen of the Wii version seems to be just about up to par with the other consoles.
Sonic the Hedgehog… are you the real, Sonic? Or is that your nickname? This game looks cool, but I’m curious.
Oh, and um, admin… you spelt “dying” wrong… *shrinks down*
Come on people stop worrying about the versions of the game because the only difference is the graphics, 2 systems are using the hedgehog engine and the wii is using the brushed up DIMPS. But the problem is the PS2 graphics… they are made to fit the PS2. ( yeah we don’t know what E3 might unviel ;) )
@WOW: i wish i am him bro ;) and for the game it’s rated 9.3 so don’t worry ;)
@Hannah the Echidna: Thanks, fixed.
Microsoft Press Conference is about to start. Don’t think we’ll hear anything about Unleashed, but I’m tuning in for other industry updates.
yesssssss! microsoft is coming now cant cant wait!and i love sonic unleashed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmm, you know, it’s funny that your conference with SEGA is on Thursday, because that’s the night of a full moon. A sign, perhaps?
@Hannah the echinda: maybe the werehog will make his appearance just then ;)
I thought I had read somewhere in an interview that they were keeping levels between 3-5 minutes long, more so, an interview that was published on THIS SITE! xDD
Of course, things do change, so a second confirmation would be nice
Something i’ve been thinking about though lately is bugging me. someone mentioned that each area you travel to has a “shrine” for you to cleanse the emeralds (which have been corrupted by Eggman’s machine, turning you into Were-hog Sonic). But there are only 7 emeralds….and 9 stages? I guess, maybe the last two would be after you cleansed the emeralds, and went after Eggman again, but if it’s just regular stages…the numbers just don’t seem to add up
@.@;
Good questions! Hopefully SEGA will answer these, and more, on Thursday.
This is probably the closest we’ll get to a full-body picture of Weresonic untill (hopefully) then. (It’s not the 1:08 thing from the newest trailer.)

A question I would ask is that is there a indicator to tell you when it is switching 2D to 3D.
Also can supersonic have Secret attacks (like in Sonic 3, Sonic could do the homing attack) and will it be played on solid ground cause I’m sick of Super Sonic just floating in space to beat the last boss (like Sonic 06, and SA2).
Note sorry for my grammar.
Here’s a question that I don’t think anyone’s addressed yet: Will there be bosses at the end of each stage?
^And if so, will you fight them as Sonic or WereSonic/alternate between them?
WILL THERE BE A DEMO AVAILABLE AFTER OR DURING E3 ON XBOX LIVE???
@James: after A month or so because they aren’t releasing a demo at E3 either
2 questions
1. do the ps2 and wii versions have diffrent levels?
2. will super sonic be playable in th levels like the old games?
oh god I misspelled “the”
No body ask about the backward movement in 3d seccions? how it will? crash bandicoot style? or secret rings style?
@_@
Nothing at Microsofts Conference (as expected). There were a few cool things announced though. If you’re a 360 fan, you ought to see the new interface coming in the Fall. It’s pretty slick ;)
@David Leggett: hey when u said we would see new footage was that today or another time and are we expecting any sonic unleashed news today or not? like do u know or is it anyones guess?
@Final Rush: yeah there’s gonna be boss battles at the end of the levels i dont know specifically when but… supposedly according to SEGA they’re gonna be epic and exciting
@David Leggett: Just coming out of nowhere here. When are you going to announce the winners for the contest?
Well thats a wrap for day one. Anyone know who’s going to be tomorrow, Sony or Nintendo? Hoping for Sonic Unleashed at Nintendo’s day. Although i dont think we’re gonna see anything.
@Kev: Epic and exciting, huh? Coming from SEGA, that kinda worries me.
