E3 is over.
Done.
Gone for.
Am I selfish to say that I for one am quite relieved? All that new information at once, while definitely appreciated, simply wore me out last week… but man, the campers sure did an incredible job staying on top of everything!
Just in case you got distracted from the important things in life – like E3, with miniscule things such as Work, or Family, or whatever it is that was playing in theaters on Thursday that had everyone in such an uproar… oh wait, yeah, I was at a midnight showing for The Dark Knight too… here’s everything that went down, all in one large list:

Also, I’ve gotten about 20 emails already about this Black Knight nonsense already, but I don’t plan to cover it here. Yes – It looks real to me. As Camp Sonic expands, we may cover other titles, but for now, we’re strictly here for Sonic Unleashed.
@DarkChaos: Sounds great! I only have Wii!
I love SU! And some more serious thing isn’t wrong.
[...] else going on. Rather than posting ALL of our E3 coverage, I suggest brushing up on our E3 Roundup if you think you missed [...]
@TailstheHedgehog: Yes, that image does look awesome, but I have my doubts.
@RockerDuDe: Shadow the Hedgehog actually isn’t that bad. I own the ‘unplayable’ PS2 version and it works perfectly fine. The game does auto-fire and only an idiot would manage to Homing Attack themselves off a cliff.
@EnzeruAnimeFan: That’s Jason on the trailer and the gameplay. His contract hasn’t ended yet. It’s only been about three/four years.
And please, nobody say anything Jason. SA2’s cast didn’t do a much better job at voicing the characters, anyway. (awaiting hate mail)
@JrDude:
Nope, unless you count Brawl as a Sonic game. Even Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games was made by SEGA.
@retsetemag: Well…the problems with the recent Sonic titles were:
- Slower gameplay
- Unco-operative camera system
- Glitches
Sonic Unleashed has a new “Hedgehog Engine” which solves the gameplay problem, allowing Sega to bring back the traditional 2.5D feel as well as fix the camera and glitch problems. Also, a new component has been added- Sonic the Werehog. A new full-3D all-out brawl when the Sun goes down. You can block enemy attacks then return fire with crazy combos. Gameplay will be somewhat similar to The Legend of Zelda and Devil May Cry. Can be useful for those who were unable to get their hands/paws on Devil May Cry 4.
@Final Rush: Did nintendo ever MAKE a Sonic game?
SEGA made Secret Rings, not Nintendo.
@Final Rush:
Look what they did in the Secret Rings, and now they gave him a sword, not very good imo.
@JrDude:
I wouldn’t go so far as to say that. Let the test of time show that Nintendo can still make AAA titles (ex: LoZ:TP, MP3:C, SMG, SSBB, etc).
I mean, you’re talking as if they’d cross Sonic with Wii Fit. Remember, just because a game is more accesible to new players doesn’t mean that the overall experience is detracted from veterans.Nintendo would know how to handle Sonic, especially if SEGA were to supervise development.
@Final Rush:
Nintendo’s falling downhill fast nowdays though. They’re making awsome games easier for the new gamers. If Sonic became Nintendo, it would be worse than it already is, and that’s saying somethin’.
(Let the records show that I love Nintendo and Sonic games)
@dragonite:
If the Sonic franchise misses the mark a few more times in a row (worst-case scenario), I wish SEGA would just hand it over to Nintendo. Although I hope that never has to happen.
I think that it is inportant that sonic stays alive as a brand.
medicore or not.
better consoles is extremely good for sonic.
in the future,levels will become larger and will look stunning as well.
On a side note,I am off for holiday for another three weeks.
See ya.
@WiiFP:
I dunno, It was just a random joke. XD
