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.

@iNAUDiBLE:
That’d make a great in game phrase. XD
‘Look you stupid b****** you’ve go no arms left!’
If Sonic says that….(He probably won’t)…XD
@DarkChaos: Yeah, which is why I proposed the ban on talking about the Sonic game that isn’t the Sonic game the site is all about now.
I feel your pain, really! I WANT to play this game. II really, really do. I have to commend SEGA for sticking to their plan of pretending that the werehog leak never happened. Instead of getting everything all at once, we had a continuing stream of information, as we SHOULD have. <33
…Still, if the Black Knight game doesn’t have a Monty Python and the Holy Grail reference, I’ll be somewhat disappointed. XD
Eggman: It’s only a flesh wound!
Sonic: That’s weird, I was only trying to wound your pride! Goodness knows how good I am at that!
@blu_7: Yeah, they do try to bring something new each time, which is more than I can say for other developers.
HAH…I remember those commercials. Ha, remember those Sonic Heroes commercials…man, they never do TV commercials for Sonic games these days.
@iNAUDiBLE: Well said. Maybe after Sonic Unleashed is done the site will keep track of a different Sonic game. Who knows. I really want to play a demo of this game and to know it won’t be out for a few months yet is killing me. That is the one bad thing about learning about an interesting game so early, the wait for the game to come out is horrible.
@iNAUDiBLE: so true.
its only for wii anyway
let’s hope they bring back the “real hedgehogs for the Unleashed commercial
eh guys?
@dragonite: AGREED. I can imagine it in my mind! XD
Still, considering that everybody seems to be all RAWR over this game despite having no information about said game except the cover (Well, at least this restored my faith in SEGA being able to keep a secret for more than a week.
)…
I propose we put a ban on talking about Sonic and the Black Knight for now. This should be for Sonic Unleashed. You know, the game that matters.
@Chaos Blast: I totally agree with you. The cool thing about Sonic games is that there’s always at least one thing thats cool about the game( in the case of Shadow the hedgehog, its the music) I too think its neat that they try to find ways to expand Sonic beyond just fast because let’s face it, it can get pretty boring if you are not careful.
and for the win, Sonic 06 IS awesome..for Playstation 3 anyway
SEEGAAAA IS SIIILYY!!
That should be their motto in some cases.
with seegaa I mean the old school way of saying it,and silly the same way.
Yeah, yeah, I’m in a sense, glad that it’s done too. o___o;;
I mean, it was such a hectic time! XD
WHY SO SERIOUS, DAVID? WHY. SO. SERIOUS?
Great overview of all of the stuff so far.
Okay, to all of you who are asking questions about whether he knows about the Black Knight game WITHOUT reading the post…yeah, yeah, you, read the post again. What did it say? He knows. Right.
EXCALIBAR! IT’S NOT THAT FAR! WHAT DO YA MEAN? …well, we know what they mean now. *shot for Sonic CD reference* If this is any real, if they manage to pull this sword thing off, it will be really freakin’ interesting. Sword+Homing Attack=EXTRA PAIN FOR ENEMY. On one hand, you’re being hit in the head by a hedgehog rolled up in a ball. And on the other hand, YOU’RE BEING STABBED IN THE HEAD.
…but what if the enemies are wearing armor though…yeesh, I sure hope that the game is fake, if only so I don’t have to come up with a theory to explain all of that. XD Lack of scans sure does make it seem plausible…but registering that domain? …wait, anybody could “steal” a domain, to domainsquat it….hmmm…
@DWalrus: Agreed. Unwilling to take a chance. But then again, those are usually the “classic” Sonic fans…and by classic, I mean, “can i has complete reboot of series to 2D platforming naos?” Sonic fans. You can’t reason with those sort of people.
Have I ever told you about the Sonic the Hedgehog motto, DWalrus?
“Just when you think that things can’t get anymore weird…THEY DO.”
A part of me says that this is just…damage control to make the Werehog look good. XD
@DWalrus:
A lot of Sonic fans hate change. They want SEGA to stick to the plan, but SEGA drifts off in various directions to experiment with Sonic. A lot of people are REALLY pessimistic before the game’s release. Crickey, you should see them after the game is released! They go MENTAL for the game. (You should of seen them with SA2…)
I, for one, are fully with SEGA’s experimentation. They’re trying to find winning formulas. And anyway, They’re always be a significantly large group of people who do enjoy the game. (Even Sonic ‘06)
I found it especially interesting the way that one minute everyone loved the new trailer and the werehog, and now it seems common practice to say “the daytime parts of unleashed are awsome” and out-and-out bash the werehog. one minute it’s “sonic’s back yay!” the next, “50% **** is still ****.”
what did the werehog do to deserve that? look too badass?
that’s kind of what happend to shadow (it took a bit longer for him) for being serious(ly cheesy…sorry)
It’s starting to get ridiculus how adverse to anything ‘impure’ people are getting (still black knight wtf?)
hey sega is do another sonic for exclusive wii called sonic and the black knight sequel of sonic and the secrets rings now sonic use a sword =D
Thanks for posting the updates, man!
Thanks for keeping us so up to date David Leggett. That had to have been tough to do during E3. Things should be calm for a bit now.
@slade: We’ll probably never see Wii or PS2 trailers for Sonic Unleashed on the fact that the graphics are worse. When the companies make trailers and in game previews for the game, they want to show only the best. We’ll probably only get a few screen shots and that’s it. I could be wrong though.
I think I’ve figured out the problem with the previous Sonic games starting from Sonic Heroes.
Apparently, what makes the new 3D Sonic games bad is the unco-operative camera system, slower gameplay, lack of specific features and unneccesary addition of others. Judging by the daytime gameplay, the Hedgehog Engine is starting to solve those problems.
what about chao and chao gardens!!!!! i wanna see more informacion about them
why dont they just show the dang wii trailers seriously why are they hiding it from us?????????????????????????????????/
And yes, I’m considering what to flavor my hat with if it’s real.
Back to the real topic…Sonic Unleashed=awesome.
