Gamespot’s Live Demonstration of Sonic Unleashed
Just in case you missed the actual live footage of Sonic Unleashed being played by Assistant Product Marketing Manager at SoA, Ken Balough and Executive Producer at Gamespot, Ryan Mac Donald, the video has now been made available for you viewing pleasure – All 25 minutes of it.
If you’ve been looking for some real gameplay of Sonic Unleashed, this may be the best thing you’ll see all of E3. Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Werehog… it’s all there folks, and in much better quality that we saw streaming live earlier. You can set up the quality of the video from the Menu in Gamespots viewer!
Thanks to iNAUDiBLE and Timmit for bringing this to our attention. And thanks to everyone else who kept reminding me while I was out!

nice :)
first comment and nice werehog demo gameplay
oops im not first comment after alll
man the game looks so smooth and colorful i cant wait! @ David Leggett: dont forget to ask if the chao garden’s will appear again!
I guess this is what I missed right?
the homing attack looks kinda incomplicated, it just a blue cylinder from behind sonic, so I hope its just unfisished and not that they just got lazy.
@david leggett are you going to have your confress tomarrow?
@david legget
like bluehog45 said whens the conference???????
cool,,,,
I’m still waiting for word on Chao Garden though…
Though I am excited to see they brought back old idle animations for Sonic, like laying down and waiting for the player… :D
Hope it’s good!
Is it possible to get this Video as a Downloadable version, I would like to play it on my iPod and watch it when ever I want to?! ;)
please tell me if your going to have the confrense
tomarrow
Floating boxes in China.
thats wierd
the music when youre in werehog form sounds alot different from daytime stages
Wait a minute ……. listen closely when he jumps from rail to rail. It sounds like ……………… JASON! Respect has gone down. But only by a little bit.
is it me or does this game look too easy in sonics levels
the old games always used to have a nice difficulty
i would really like to see that coming back :(
AWSOMNESS!
Sonic looks strange when he jumps.
I’m glad to see that the game has Sonic Adventure Physics (Like up goes forward, down goes backwards etc…) instead of Secret Rings movement (You couldn’t move backwards in that game right?… I’ve never played it…)
It’s just that the levels are set up fairly linearly, so it was hard to notice…
sonic doesnt lose all his rings when damaged
what the fuck is that
psst. i saw it waaaaaaaaay before you posted it. sorry i didn’t tell u, i had to leave my house
@ juaouad
It looks rather challenging to me.
- Running into walls at 300mph if you miss a button.
- Falling into bottomless pits.
- Running over water only to lose ring energy and drown.
- Unable to regather rings when you hit spiked balls on the rails.
- Screwing up the qte and going down the bad route.
If you’re a little kid this game is gonna be torture.
ahhhhhhh cmon when is the confrenes! i think i spelled it wrong
@Hype92:
Big deal. It sounds the same to me, and I don’t care.
when i firtst saw sonic in the game i felt a little bit anoyed by the way he looked
i didnt know what it was but it was there
i made a comparison from his looks in secret rings and unleashed from the side
i think his spikes are to large ,, i mean why,, it just makes him look crap..
in super smash bros he looks good too,, his spikes there arent so large like in unleashed
it looks much better why do they exaggerate, his spikes used to be so short and now their making them so larg that i dont even know if he can carry that bid fuckin head of his
here just an example of what i mean: http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/7499/naamloosjh3.png
i just hoped that i could tell them that
he looks shit like ass
the werewolf kickass though
erm, thats kinds extreme, cool down.
im like a diehard fan since i was 4 years behind my 8 bit master system..
i cant do anything about it,, the details for me are so important and i wish that the makers would understand if they would look more at the previous games:(
Mike
he needs to lose all his rings thats just how it works man
2 times getting hit is DEAD
not 3 4 5 6 7 8 or million
come on weve seen it in adventure 1 and 2 it worked fine
shadow the hedgehog was the first sonic game to have the element and it sucked ass!! i want them to fix this:(:’(
@juaouad:
Juaoaud, Sonic DOESN’T lose all his rings in Sonic Rush (and I assume rush adventure) and that game is fine.
I have Sonic Adventure 1 and 2. No matter how many times you get hit, the ring falls right next to you… so you can easily get hit a million times. In the end, it was always the PITS that made people lose.
You’re just being negative.
@juaouad:
Have you played Sonic Rush?
i need some wii info on this game
come on,, i get your point but dont you think i do too
wasnt that the charm of a sonic game,
like doing a boss level and get hit losing all your rings and do everything to keep that one ring in your possesion..
*sonic rush adventure didnt have it*
maybe i am being negative,,, but maybe there are some people that would understand me
Actually, I don’t remember… I think you DO lose all your rings in Sonic Rush…
@okay
i got both rush series in my possesion
i liked them both :D i dont remember that sonic doesnt lose all his rings in rush 1 let me check it out havent played it for long
@juaouad:
juaoad, in Sonic Rush… when you get HIT often… the ring goes FURTHER away from you.
So it isn’t any easier. For example, lets say you get hit once…. the ring falls next to you. Get hit AGAIN… the ring goes further away. 3rd time… that ring is LONG…. gone. If you got hit alot during the levels… even having 2 rings would be dangerous… because… the instant another enemy touched you it would fly VERY FAR AWAY and be difficult to get.
@juaouad: If you wanted them to go back to 100% old-school conventions, he wouldn’t get the cool boost meter and the rings would do NOTHING for him aside from providing 1 hit invulnerability and extra-life gain. Because rings serve a completely different function in this game, it makes more sense not to lose them ALL in one hit.
No, in Sonic Rush you definitely lose all your rings… I’m confusing that with another.
@okay: but you do lose all the rings
Ok. That was awesome. I noticed some things on WereSonic. There were white flames going up his arms, and on the back of his spikes. I think. We’re about five months away from Sonic Unleashed. I wonder when the demo will be out . . .
@ChaoticFox: putting some new elements in a game that make the game better is never wrong
but giving up on elements that were allready woring fine in the game is just lame and stupid
the old school games were the best,, i never get bored finishing sonic 3 and knuckles
it was perfect!!!! so why change the concept of losing all the rings.. did you have a problem with that ?
@juaouad:
I’m sorry, I guess you are right…
I must be thinking of Shadow the Hedgehog… or Sonic 06… I guess you are correct.
@juaouad:
I wasn’t defending this game, I was only defending Sonic Rush. I remembered, that there was something “different” about rings in Sonic Rush… but I guess you are right….
However… I don’t like losing… so I’ll think of a reason to defend this game.
@okay: its no problem mate, its just that im anoyd by the fact they are putting this in the new game… i just hope they make the game harder so it balances with the rings system
It’s in Sonic heroes.
you look rings depending how strong was the enemies attack, the same for 06 and secret rings.
@juaouad: No, I didn’t. But like I said, with the new things they added, it made more sense to change the ring mechanic. If the new elements were not ring-related, I would agree that changing something that worked well for no reason at all would be stupid. But in this case, I feel it was justified.
@juaouad:
You are absolutely correct! You are indeed a hardcore Sonic Fan, no doubt. I should not question you.
@wiinterfang: they all sucked
heroes average
we should complain at sonic team :P:P
@juaouad:
juauouad, it’s good to speak to a worthy Sonic fan.
But I have to point something out that, even you may have missed. When Sonic got hit, he may not have lost all his rings… BUT… the time he spent “blinking” seemed very short… or even instant.
So while Sonic may not lose all of his rings, you probably cannot run around invincible for long. So it may balance out!
