Another busy day at E3 comes and goes, and leaves our cravings for Sonic Unleashed details mostly satisfied. We’re not quite through with E3 yet, but we’re really glad to see SEGA coming forward with all this new information. For me at least, it’s a sign that things are moving along nicely, and that we have a chance of seeing a finely tuned game come November 2008.
Anyways, here’s a quick roundup from Wednesday just in case you missed anything.
- Sonic the Werehog: Our First Impressions - Chances are, Sonic the Werehog will make (or break) Sonic Unleashed. Check out our initial impressions of the hedgehogs counterpart in the upcoming title.
- Live Coverage and Gameplay of Sonic Unleashed at E3 - We dissect how the Sonic Unleashed plays LIVE during an interview demonstration with Gamespot and SoA’s Ken Balough.
- 25+ Minutes of Game Demonstration - Catch our coverage of the live game demonstration, but miss the actual video? Gamespot has now made it available to the public in a high quality format.
- Shadow Confirmed to appear in Sonic Unleashed - Many will be ecstatic, while many others will riot in angst. Sure to cause some fighting in the Sonic community, but regardless, Shadow will be appearing in Sonic Unleashed.
- Online Mode in Sonic Unleashed - No details on what it is, but the official word is that Sonic Unleashed will feature an online component.
- Sonic Unleashed E3 Trailer Alternate Downloads - Not able to grab the HD E3 Sonic Unleashed Trailer revealed a few days ago? We’ve put together a short list of links that work, and will have you downloading in no time - with the help of the greater Sonic Community.
Today, we’ll be wrapping things up with E3, but coverage, insight, and additional news will likely continue throughout the rest of the week.

@ All the Sonic ‘06 haters: Actually I really loved Sonic ‘06. xP Oh well…
I’m really impressed how much info they provided in that interview. ^_^ I can’t wait any longer xD This game could even bring back old fans xD
OOPS i meant @DarkSpines
gee, im really bad at this lol
I’m gunna go out on a limb and say i LIKED Shadow the Hedgehog
It had good cinema & story and somewhat gameplay
It wuz just the GUN THAT GOT ME LOL
But yea @Hannah the Echidna: Sonic 06 = Video Game Holocaust lol (Also Sonic Heroes)
Story wasn’t all that but i liked how Mephiles just killed Sonic for no reason lol TRUE VILLAIN but whatever & Silver is OK. i guess he cant hit ppl lol
@Darkspines: Yeah, but at least Shadow didn’t have any guns, that was my point! Besides, I’ve never played it, so I can’t critique it.
Sonic 06 was the only disgraceful sonic game on earth!
Ay, people, you don’t spell Werehog with an h like you’re spelling where! Anyway, I think they’ll do a good job puting Shadow into this game. Remember, SEGA of America created Shadow the Hedgehog, this game is being done by SEGA of Japan. In my opinion, Shadow was redeemed in Sonic 06.
@KC Cross:
Thanks for the info.
Anyway,I just gave a small call back there that sega has picked the most popular fandom name,wherehog.
So I suposse we should call him that way now.
OOH sorry i meant G@y lol sry
Oh hey the Sonic Unleashed Producer confirmed that there
WILL BE A DEMO
available for PS3 & XBOX 360 before the game comes out
here’s A link
http://www.joystiq.com/2008/07/15/joystiq-interview-sonic-unleashed-producer-on-nighttime-stages/
and I KNOW IT’S ALREADY BEEN CONFIRMED
I DONT CARE IM JUST SAYIN SO NOBODY BE *** lol
@dragonite:ummmmmmmmmm thx?
the official name is sonic the wherehog,as shown in that live demonstation picture of the controls,by the way.
I meant to say “Were-Sonic” in my 1st comment sry
Also, I was downloading the Hi-Res E3 Trailer WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING IT! HAHA I TURN ON MY COMP AND ITS THERE AND I WATCH IT AGAIN
NOW THATS A GOOOOOOD MORNIN’! LAOTP
@Xeternalstar: 99% XBOX 360 if there even is a demo
and I think they gave Sonic LONG arms because that’s the funnest kind of combat (Fighting like God of War 1 & 2)
The kind that throws a whole bunch of little enemies that you can just TEAR UP & every hit counts. You get 100 HIT COMBOS WHEREVER YOU ARE! I don’t know about you guys, but that makes ME feel good about myself. lol
I wuz tired of that whole “Eggman-makes-a-million-machines-that-die-when-you-jump-on-their-heads” Deal.
Now the fighting will at least make sense.
Can someone PLZ convince me to reserve SU for XBOX cuz i CAN’T DO IT for some reason lol
i still want to know when the demo is coming and what consoles the demo is gonna be on!!!>.<
great,if I checked an hour later….
lol.
Great coverage.
I think Were-Sonic will make not break. Hes cool.
I like his loooong elastic arms.
2ND COMMENT lol
Yea Were-Sonic is awesome and everything.
Hey, when is there gonna be another giveaway?
I think something happened to my 1st pin

so i need another one
So maybe trivia like how many………idk. lol
i liked the coverage of sonic unleashed
