Shadow Confirmed for Sonic Unleashed

In case you missed the live Sonic Unleashed footage we covered earlier, Shadow has now been a confirmed character for Sonic Unleashed.  During a live hands-on demonstration, Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow we’re all confirmed to be in the game, although no mention of how they would be implemented was discussed.

I’m a bit worried about this choice, but I’m sure Shadow fans everywhere are rejoicing.  So long as he doesn’t have guns in this installment… and doesn’t act all *gangsta* or any of that crap, I’d say there’s still a chance he’ll make a good addition to the game.

    he is emo. that’s all. you know it. again, the 2 of them meet like this-

    Shadow:GUN, i found the were-hog. what are the commands?
    GUN:Bring him back, Dead or Alive!
    Shadow:Gotcha!
    Were-Sonic:No shadow, its, its..(full moon) ME!!! SONIC! GR!AA!!
    Shadow:You will soon realize your fate, you retched beast!
    (Were-Sonic and Shadow run full speed at each other, the screen flashes black, and cue Shadow boss fight)

    sonic should go to the future, and kill silver! now we will never suffer from his ****yness! who cares about solaris? if shadow wasnt so lazt, he and sonic could kill it! i mean he has a girly name, cruddy voice actor, i think he once WAS a girl, and he should suffer a doom in which to NEVER be in another sonic game! just putting him in party mode in secret rings was WAY to much!

    @KC Cross & @Darkspines: Quit spamming, quit flaming, and further more, quit acting like morons. I know that the two of you are capable of all three, so why waste such potential?

    If you wanna get respect from other people, then respect those who have differing views from you in regards to the characters.

    @ChaoticFox: True, I believe this ties into the “building a detector to find more reasonable Sonic fans” topic I brought up.

    This’ll be the last time I comment on this, something tells me that it’ll degrade into this site’s equivialent of the old Fluff forums on The Sonic Stadium message board. Only with ADDED CHARACTER “DEBATE”.

    @iNAUDiBLE:
    seems you are right.
    I really think you should ask david for mod power in the comments to help him out sometime,he will need a second man sooner or later.You are one of the most mature guys here.

    So Shadow is in the game? Congratulations to who wanted him in. Me, I’d prefer if the only extra characters were Tails and Knuckles (and Amy, who has already been confirmed). I’m glad he’s in Sonic Chronicles, since it’s an RPG, and since the more characters we have the more fun it is. But I’ve marked this game (Unleashed) as special.

    Shadow has appeared in all 3D canon games. Why doesn’t SEGA give him a rest? I’ll just keep waiting. There’s always a next game.

    Unless…

    Maybe Shadow’s appearance is only in the minigames. I sure hope so. I wouldn’t want him in the story. Sincerely, with Weresonic’s presence, and with this story being about Sonic, I thought to myself: “I hope Shadow doesn’t appear. In this game, there’s only space for one strong and cool hedgehog (Weresonic or Sonic himself), and Shadow would be in the way.”

  7. why can’t silver appear his last game wasent that bad…NOOOOOO

  8. RockerDuDe July 20, 2008

    shadow is the baest after sonic and knuckles cuz he is evil >=] and he looks so cool and shadow the hedgehog wasnt always an android who used weapons so dont hate him is not his fault that SEGA made him look stupid

  9. Itachi+ShadowFan July 20, 2008

    Shadow’s segment in this stroyline is irrelavant to his reputation. On his first debut there were a lot of fans for him, even more then the ammount there were for sonic on his very first debut. So the fans will be extremely happy to have Shadow back on the storyline since SA2 and SA2 Battle. BUT… Has everyone forgotten about the voice actor? Drop the warfare of the hedgehogs.. {For now} And go and try to make sega change the voice actor back. Shadow AND Sonic both have the same voice actor that emphasizes a TON! I say we have some rants about Jason Anthony Griffith {Very bad voice actor for Sonic and Shadow} before having World Wide Wars on the fastest hedhehogs on the planet. Now, like I said, Shadow’s part to the storyline will be irrelavant to his reputation. The “adding guns to Shadow” part was a pretty bad idea. But sooner or later that will be a thing of the past. Then Shadow will be right back up on his feet and have even more fans on his side. I’m the biggest Shadow the Hedgehog fan you guys will prolly ever meet. Trust me.

    Do something about the voice actor first people! Ever since Shadow got Jason to be his voice actor it’s been.. Stranger. Less fans.. Same goes for Sonic but you know, I prefer to help Shadow more. To all you Jason fans out there, are you guys insane?!? Let me help you pick the better voice actor. RYAN DRUMMOND. Yes. I said it. Ryan Drummond. He might be sitting there and just doing nothing about this whole situation. BUT. He hated the fact that he got fired. Plus, He was the best voice actor for Sonic the Hedgehog. On a side note:
    Silver the Hedgehog… And most of these new characters to the Sonic roster. Were.. Unneccesary Two hedgehogs are ENOUGH. And if there are disagreements to this. Shadow the Hedgehog was the BEST addition to the Sega Family.
    True and Proven fact: Shadow IS the ultamite lifeform.

  10. i agree with you dude but shadow is not the ultimate lifeform in SA2B in the question sign stuff on the last level they show you that the ultimate life form was that stupid dragon and when shadow died i almost cried xD i thought he was dead and they will never make another sonic game with shadow on it so im a fan 2 ;)

  11. NOOOOOOOOOOO…

    What is shad gonna do anyway in this game?

  12. Itachi+ShadowFan July 21, 2008

    Hey, RockerDuDe. I have the game. I played the game. And I owned the game! Got all A rank and everything. I know how it goes. I have the greenhill stage, secondary costumes for characters, etc. I’ve even beat the final boss. That biohazard thing, without losing damage atleast 3 times. That thing doesn’t kill Shadow, Shadow and Sonic defeated it. So save your tears cus if Sonic can survive a fall from space {Sonic X} then OF COURSE Shadow can. So yeah. Shadow is in fact the ultimate lifeform.
    To the rest of you. I’m here to defend shadow from you losers wether you like it or not. The only downside to most of his characteristics is Jason. By that I mean voice. But hey, it’s only a minor problem. I’m sure it will be solved soon. Atleast I hope.

  13. i just hope he fits. it will not be good for him to placed in there badly. but that would be cool if they had a were-hog v.s. shadow fight. that could be a boss…

  14. 16sonic16 July 21, 2008

    The series is called Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic’s SEGA’s mascot. Sonic’s my favorite.

    Silly people.

    Adding Shadow for side missions (replayablility) is great though!

  15. Itachi+ShadowFan July 22, 2008

    I hate the fact that most people want Shadow to be torn up by that werehog if he does show up in the stroyline. If Shadow does take place in the storyline, it better be good. I don’t have suggestions for it, but I know Shadow will pull through, and if faught, hopefully Shadow will beat werehog Sonic. Shadow the Hedgehog is my favorite character the whole Sonic Series. I am his biggest fan no doubt. I couldn’t care less about Sonic, Silver, or any other hedgehogs. Shadow is the best there is!

  16. wereshadow July 22, 2008

    i think it would be cool if shadow turned into a werewolf (werechog)

  17. Sjibundo July 22, 2008

    but my question is will shadow be playeble

  18. Sjibundo July 22, 2008

    and if he’s playable then i still wonder if he can do chaos control chaos blast and shit like that

  19. Itachi+ShadowFan July 22, 2008

    Listen up Shadow the Hedgehog fans. It is confirmed that Shadow will be playable in the Xbox 360 version, mini-games only! He is not in the storyline this time arround. I consider Sonic lucky. Anyway. There you go. Happy gaming!
    Shadow IS the best there is!

  20. actually it is said OFFICIALLY in a video that Shadow WILL take part in the story =P

  21. I hate Shadow. He is a dead stone in the series.

  22. @RaveToTheGrave:
    What video? link please?

  23. Calavern July 22, 2008

    I think it would be pretty cool to have Shadow in Sonic Unleashed. I like both Sonic and Shadow, but i like Sonic more. I think they should have Shadow be able to redo the levels Sonic did, once you beat the game.

  24. tencoth July 30, 2008

    I wonder if the rings on his hands will have a small impact on the whole werehog thing

  25. ThE_AcAdEmY_Is... July 31, 2008

    sonic is a good addition to the game! we just have to pray with all our heart that he’s not “gangsta-ish.” if he is, segas dead meat……..

  26. ThE_AcAdEmY_Is... July 31, 2008

    i mean shadow… lol. my bad…

  27. Ummmm…..Shadow and Sonic are on a par with me to be honest!!!Now I played the “classic” games after heroes to be honest,You can’t buy them here!!!But Were-Sonic and Shaodw wont have a fight because Shadow will destroy him if they do!!!Remember The Werehog is far slower than Sonic and Shadow and Shadow is far stronger than Sonic!!!Also Shadow will have Chaos powers because he can use them without an Emerald!!!(That last one’s a maybe)!!!

  28. KC Cross August 14, 2008

    @davie: Yeah, but you forget 1 thing.

    Shadow: “Chaos….CONTRO……………”

    Were-Sonic: “IMA FIRIN’ MAH LAZAH!!!!!!!!!!!!”

    BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    lol

  29. KC Cross August 17, 2008

    @kyevon: Davie was saying how Shadow would P00N Were-Sonic but sometimes i add voices to the Sonic characters and bring them into CampSonic.com discussions.

    and sometimes……….

    The Sun Goes Down.

    Were-Sonic: “Heeeeeeerrrreeeeessss SONIC!!!!!!”

    KC: “O SNAPS RUNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!! haha

    its funny.

  30. sonic the werehog August 21, 2008

    it would be cool if there was a shadow the werehog knuckles the werechidna and tails the werefox i wonder if there is

  31. sonic the werehog August 21, 2008

    sonic is the coolist character ever

  32. sonic the werehog August 21, 2008

    cause i mean without sonic there wouldn’t be shadow,tails,knuckles,amy,rouge,omega,not even EGGMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!

  33. sonic the werehog August 24, 2008

    i cant believe no one will talk about if there would be a were shadow or tails or even knuckles

  34. i think sonic shadow tails and knuckles are gonna be playable character

  35. i hope shadow tails and knuckles are playable character

  36. Sonication September 5, 2008

    @ben: And why would you want all four of those to be playable?

  37. Danny Butler September 10, 2008

    Yay,Shadows back(why did Shadow the Hedgehog get bad reviews I thought it was awsome).Nobody else is playable acording to Nintendo Power,but still this game is gonna rock!!

  38. WOW, Shadow rocks, I’m happy he made in…

    Time to unleash… THE ULTIMATE POWER!! (Shadow’s line in Sonic the Hedghehog, 2006)

  39. Shadow is the worst Sonic character ever! At least Big the Cat hasn’t been showing up IN EVERY FREAKING GAME! I hope that they kill him off in Unleashed so that we never have to see his stupid face again. He’s nothing but a lame Sonic wannabe with an attitude problem.

  40. @Timstuff:
    Whats your problem? You didn’t even say why he’s the worst. He’s a cool character if he don’t act like a gangsta as he did in Sonic X. But I hope he don’t act like that in Unleashed.

  41. Danny Butler October 15, 2008

    Anybody who thinks that Shadow is a ripoff or recolor of Sonic is a complete and total moron.

  42. Timstuff you RETARD!! Sonic is the one with the attitude problem – he also sounds like he’s on helium. Sonic is a SHADOW WANNABE – while Shadow is the ULTIMATE POWER – rock on Shadow Fans!! I am so happy he made it in and maybe in this game sonic’s werehog side will make him kill himself … but we can only hope …

    peace out =D

  43. @ANON: umm…… i guess you are a Shadow fan? lol :-) heh…. Btw why did u post ALL the way back here? :-o

  44. if u think about it u would know that sonic and shadow need each other to survive cause without shadow sonic would have been died and without sonic shadow wouldnt exist cause the person who made him(forgot his name) wouldnt be able to copy sonics blueprints in his own way to make shadow

  45. jose cuervo October 23, 2008

    I’m Fine as long as they don’t take out tails or knuckles and announce Chao are going to be in, I Fine BTW does it seem like this site only updates in groups and is too reliant on other sites?

  46. No Food Or Movies? I'm Outta Here! November 9, 2008

    Ooh, that’s interesting… I wonder how he’ll fit into the story, along with everyone else…

    BTW, it has also been confirmed that Amy glomps Were-Sonic…

    =O

  47. Of curse! i am not so stupid i am in the game! campsonic goes straight to hell!
