New Sonic/Weresonic Comparison

With all eyes diverted to coverage of E3, it’s pretty easy to miss the obvious.  A quick look at SEGA’s homepage, and you’ll notice quite a few updates, including a comparison of Weresonic and Sonic from Sonic Unleashed.

Sonic vs. Weresonic in Sonic Unleashed

My, what big teeth you have Weresonic…

They’re obviously prerendered (and possibly just artist renditions), but are cool to see none the less.  You might also notice a few other pieces you either haven’t seen before, or havent seen under proper lighting before (such as the first Weresonic render we ever saw).

Some of the shots below really highlight some of the less obvious distinctions between our Classic hero and his new beastly alter-ego.  Check out the studs on those boots!

    Think you could try making Wallpapers to use out of those?

  3. Link451 July 15, 2008

    Also, do you know if we’re getting anymore Sonic Unleashed footage from E3 or was that trailer the last of it? Personally, I think it’s hard to say from that footage whether if WereSonic will be good or not… I want a full level with a few parts skipped like Sonic’s High Europe gameplay.

    nice!!! xD

  6. DWalrus July 15, 2008

    heh. He reminds me a bit of bark the polar bear, anyone remember that guy?

  7. supersonic_64 July 15, 2008

    That picture of weresonic’s head looks awkward, but the rest are awesome!

  8. JAOUADDDD July 15, 2008

    i thought sonic looked finally cool

    but he looks kinde stupid here

  9. Aregulardude July 15, 2008

    Don’t forget Werewolf Sonic has a BIG NECK as well! :D
    But seriously, other than that, these look pretty good and I can’t wait!

  10. AnthonM2 July 15, 2008

    Why can’t we play as Sonic only? in Mario games we play as Mario only, i hate this weresonic idea.

  11. awesome yeah i noticed that and that should be the cover art of the case of the game

  12. Link451 July 15, 2008

    @AnthonM2: Thinking about it and seeing that video… yeah, the game would probably be better just playing as Sonic. But oh well, that’s the way life goes… maybe it’ll turn out okay in the end.

  13. Spittingup July 15, 2008

    In the first pictures weresonic looks like a bear
    in the posing ones he reminds me of shadow somehow.(the old shadow)

  14. Those are pretty awesome!

  15. This game looks too cool! Griffith better not be voicing Sonic this game.

    Don’t e-mail me, it’s not mine.

    I also work for the Sonic News Network wiki located at http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Recentchanges

  16. TailstheHedgehog July 15, 2008

    OMG i’m so happy. The trailer looked awesome (just watched it) and these pics r gorgeous!!!
    Those claws are scary, the gameplay I watched of weresonic was good but I didnt see how fast it could go. Hope sega chucks in some good speed for the wolf

    Wonder if you can swallow robots. That would be entertaining.

  17. PrincessTikal July 15, 2008

    wow its really awesome to see weresonic like this

  18. PrincessTikal July 15, 2008

    @AnthonM2:

    mario party?

  19. Darkpines35 July 15, 2008

    His gloves disappear, but his shoes just change. Nice trademarking SEGA.

  20. Darkspines July 15, 2008

    Whoooooooo0oo spin away from tacos! (a line from Open your heart reversed)

  21. Darkspines July 15, 2008

    Hey u stole my name and added a number! not cool!

  22. Hannah the Excited Echidna July 15, 2008

    OMG, Something in my brain just clicked. The Were-Sonic gameplay… is like Ristar! The stretchy arms, the puzzle solving… and though this is speculation, in that one screenie of Were-Sonic where he’s holding onto the pole… is there a possibility for the Ristar-esque pole looping? Even if it isn’t, yays, it’s classic gameplay, just not in the Sonic sense.

  23. KuroBit July 15, 2008

    Hey, I downloaded the HD E3 trailer (Wich took about 4 hours XD) and took some pictures from the trailer and put them in a slide show (Because otherwise I would have to direct link you to every image…)

    http://s66.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w66.photobucket.com/albums/h246/blackdragon521/Sonic%20Unleashed/8ce55af8.pbw
    (Sorry about the long address >_>)

    Unfortunately, it stopped downloading at 63%, so I wasn’t able to get any “Warehog” game play… But I did get a close up of him right after he transformed.

  24. @Hannah the Excited Echidna: Yeah I thought of that too. Mostly because I was playing ristar at the time

  25. KuroBit July 15, 2008

    I just figured out that if you click the images in my slide show, you can view the image by itself.

  26. Arg. Too many updates. Awesome.

  27. Epic Wolf Sonic pictures

  28. Chaos Blast July 16, 2008

    Make. Wallpapers. Now! XD

  29. jorenmartijn July 16, 2008

    I’m still not sure if I like WereSonic, even though it seems to work well enough. I would’ve preffered a Dark side story rather than WereSonic. Shadow is too cool to be left out (will buy the game anyway).

  30. Hey guys, I know a lot of you wanted a smaller version of the vid, so I’ve killed 2 birds with one stone and made an 18MB file and replaced the crappy song with a really coool song from The Wedding called Return. You can grab it here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=104FZFMG

    Let me know what you think! I thought it fit pretty well…

  31. were sonic is so awesome

  32. TrueBlueJ7 July 16, 2008

    Cool! I always love to see new artwork. Last night, I was wishing for more Sonic and WereSonic artworks other than the ones in the ONM cover. And here they are! And could they be any better? :)

    Despite the sneakers, he’s just how I pictured him.

  33. Cool! I’ll make my own wallpaper of these! FUN! FUN! FUN!

  34. Miss Dark Sonic July 16, 2008

    WOW!!! =O Awesome pictures!!

  35. Mystery the Hedgehog July 16, 2008

    Heh…For some reason, Were-Sonic’s new shoes remind me of Bowser’s paws.

  36. I really enjoy the way Were-Sonic looks. I think it’s absolutely the most perfect rendition of the idea they could have possibly created. However, I’m still not sure how I feel about his stretch-armstrong arms… They seem to be capable of some pretty interesting feats, to be sure, but somehow it just seems… awkward.

    I would have rathered him been created with naturally longer/larger arms (though that would probably make him seem more gorilla-like than wolfish) than giving them the ability to stretch… but alas. The rest of him still looks incredible.

  37. Cool, I actually quite like Weresonic’s design now, especially the shoes ^^

  38. Mastersonicz July 16, 2008

    It’s very cool! Amazing!! But Weresonic’s shoes…

  39. does anyone else think that for the wii version conic should look like one image in samba de amigo

    http://blogs.sega.com/sonic/category/sonic-unleashed/

    he looks good there

  40. Wow! Were-sonic would be good at football. Infact he’d be excellent at rugby but I can’t imagine him doing very well at basketball. Can you?

  41. Those picters are AWESOME!!!!!!!!
    Thay should be wallpapers!!!!! :D
    Go werehog sonic!!!!
    And sonic!!!! ^_^

  42. Jonathan July 17, 2008

    WereSonic looks awesome from what we’ve seen so far.

  43. I wonder what happens to sonic’s gloves when he turns from weresonic to sonic…

  44. sonicjess97 July 20, 2008
  45. ThE_AcAdEmY_Is... July 31, 2008

    sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!

  46. Are you all insane? How can you support this idea? Sonic has been completely bastardized and ruined, and that it comes down to something as cheap and goofy as “Weresonic” is soul crushing for anyone who grew up playing the original three sonic games.

    Since then they’ve done nothing but introduce more and more goofy trivial characters, plots that have no business in sonic the hedgehog. Whatever happened to Robotnik (Yes, Robotnik, I don’t care about Japan, I refuse to call him eggman) turning animals into robots and sonic having to save the animals? It wasn’t deep, it wasn’t complex, but it didn’t matter.

    If I could talk to the people at Sega, I would plead that they stop ruining Sonic.

  47. ESTOU JOGANDO SONIC UNLEASHED TEM UMA FASE DIFICIL TENDO QUE JOGAR COM O LOBIOURIÇO DEMOREI
    20 MINUTOS E TEVE OUTRA DIFICILJOGANDO COM O SONIC NORMAL LUTANDO CONTRA EGG MAN TODA HORA PERDIA ANEL ATÉ QUE CHEGOU UMA QUE EU ENTENDI E FUI ATACANDO
