How Are You Feeling about Sonic Unleashed?
Seems like a good time to gauge our readers on Sonic Unleashed once again, with E3 being behind us, and some Werehog footage being unveiled. Simply tell us if you’re more excited, more worried, or completely apathetic now that we know a bit more about Unleashed. Feel free to explain in the comments below.

@Erik: I agree Erik!
More excited! Also, lol at your new slogan.
i would prefer much 2d on this game
I love the werehog Idea and the way his arms move..
It’s delightfull it’s like Sonic’s being reinstablished with the real world yet being a complete fantasy (pardon the expresion) “world-next-door”
I am astonished at the quality of the graphics to
I’m also hoping the where at camp Sonic won’t have a slow period since E3 has passed away..:(
@Sonic The Hedgehog: Okay
@Sonic The Hedgehog: Okay then
I just heard of sonic and the black night, i don’t think it’s right for sonic. and i really don’t want to see sega mess that game up!
Also i know this would be weird but does sonic unleashed connect with sonic chronicles?
____________________________________________________Unleash your inner werehog.
The first sonic games I played were the fist ones, Example: Sonic the hedgehog 2
but then my sega broke and I just stopped playing sonic games. then, a few years later, I got Sonic Adventure 2 Battle for the gamecube. I read the instruction manual and looked up the characters. I noticed they changed Robotnick’s name, but I accepted it. I used to stay up all night playing that game.
i think a lot that SONIC ADVENTURE 3 will sound bit better because he his going to travel all over the world and because this the third time that eggman his trying to awake something (bad) and trying to dominate the world ;but on return SONIC UNLEASHED make sense because this game is all about unleashing sonic on his new form.
Sonic Adventure 2 was awesome. Battle was better than the Dreamcast version just because it was more polished. I still have the dreamcast Sonic games and those are my most valuable games i have for any system.
I think SEGA should get back into the hardware business again and make another system.
Dreamcast 2 anyone?
sorry to be a downer (I voted exited),
but nobody seems to have mentioned the reported MASSIVE slowdown at high speeds (which is obviously most of the time).
also, they are apparently going for a november release again (and we all know how that’s gone before) so i’m worried that sega might rush this out the door before it’s finished. just like S06, that poor son of a… ‘course if they can fix that and restrain from this then
ALL HAIL THE RETURN OF THE KING
personally I belive that unleashed will be good but not amazing (prove me wrong sega!),
unleashed 2 (or indeed, a remake) on the other hand…
(werehog bursts through celing) “HOW DARE YOU CHALLENGE MY RULE!”
If SEGA remakes the classic Sonic games like the daytime levels in Unleashed, then Sonic will return on top again. The classics had a formula that was perfect, and SEGA is searching for it, Unleashed will be very close to the classics.
I believe instead of searching for new material, go back to the “roots” and use them in the new Sonic games, then and only then SEGA and Sonic can hold their heads higher!
hey guys dont worry about the slowdowns it will be all fixed in the final version of the game. There is also a big chance that old sonic levels will be remade which would be totally awsome in 2d and 3d or they could just make a super beautiful 2d level of green hill i mean imagine that
I agree, if we look back when SEGA made Sonic 06, they admited that they were swamped. One team on 3 games, Sonic 06 of PS3, for Xbox 360, and Sonic Genesis for GBA. All 3 games suffered alot. I give SEGA alot of credit, because it takes alot of effort to create and even more to meet deadlines so the company doesnt lose money. Its hard work making a game period, but 3 at once and meet a deadline? SEGA has earned my respect for all time, So i too dont worry about Unleashed, everything will be fine.
@DWalrus: i feel just the way you do, i remember this exact senario from when they where showcasing the alpha build of sonic ‘06. Truth is, i love sonic too much, (in a manly way :P) so i don’t want sonic team to make the same mistake again… i wish they could postpone the release just a month or two, so they can take more time tweaking (polishing) and stuff… but they probably aren’t, knowing sega and their way with things..
I don’t think SEGA will rush this game, I think they learned their lesson after Sonic the hedgehog 06′. But, I could be wrong. (I hope I’m not)
oh yeah check out this sonic unleashed it’s the split screen parts enlarged and if anyone finds a better resolution one please tell me or just post it in a commment : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVxw7qw9MwA
and a new! art render featuring shadow in sonic unleashed!! here check it out: http://www.freewebs.com/sonicunleashed/scansgamestm.htm
@G&E: @SonicFanr.1:
I know what you mean, but Sonic 06 was created by one team, they have 3 teams on this game, including the team that did Sonic Rush & Rush Adventure. They have more resources and more people. If they had Naka though, that would make a difference. Yuji Naka made work right, he made the game function, then he built on it with story and graphics, thats the key.
I bet Sonic misses Naka.
@Sonic The Hedgehog: Sonic isn’t the only one who’s missing Naka.. i miss the tiny things that he made perfect previously… like the way sonic and shadow run in sonic adventure 2… (now’adays their upper bodies dont move when they run…go check out SA2, and you’ll see what i mean).
I am a perfectionist too, and i always felt like it was at least going to be a decent storyline when good ‘ol yuji was on the team… now… i’m not so sure… but i will remain optimistic about this game anyway, since I love sonic…
@SonicFanr.1:
Sonic rocks! With Naka though, Sonic ruled the videogame era back in the day. I beleive Naka was denied alot of things in making Sonic 06, thats why he left. He knew what needed to be done, but SEGA denied him.
I bet you in a few years, PROPE will surpass SEGA, and who knows, Naka might buy SEGA out and own rights to Sonic and make the good old days once again.
I cant wait to see what PROPE will make.
@Sonic The Hedgehog: Me Niether. do you know anything about what their up to atm ?? i can’t seem to find anything about them :S
@SonicFanr.1:
all i know is Prope is working on a WII title so far, thats all
admin, do you think since these polls offer alot of feedback to create one about Prope VS Sega? Which one would be better for Sonic’s future or just because Yuji Naka made Sonic awesome?
is anyone still here?
@Sonic The Hedgehog: [ yawn]
I’m still here. Man, these polls results are overwhelming
@blu_7: I see. you wanted admin, right?
my bad
@blu_7:
cool, i thought i scared everyone off with the PROPE vs SEGA thing. I even went to the Prope site to see if they had a discussion area open. lol
Naka is a great programmer, but he is not Sega’s version of Miyamoto here. He never created the concept by himself…pretty much all of the original Sonic Team is gone. I think Naka is more interested in doing Shenmue-type projects nowadays, so that’s likely what you’ll see.
I think people upset with Sonic games should realize this is a brand new team. It is neither the people who made the classics or the staff that created the recent games that haven’t been popular. It’s a fresh slate, let’s see what we get. Outside teams usually bring something good to the Sonic games, and I expect innovation not just a 3D version of Sonic 2.
@blu_7: What time is it for you guys?
I really hope in this game Super Sonic will be playable, not just for the final battle. Use him in the daytime levels, and in the levels that change from day to night in the same level. I can imagine how bright he will be in the night environment.
@Sonic The Hedgehog: i doubt it i mean all u would do is float everywhere and they want to encourage replay value so most likely you’ll stay normal sonic plus it wouldnt make the gameplay that different it would just make sonic golden and float a little above the ground which doesnt really matter
@Kev:
yea you got a point, but it would make possible to get better ranks at the end in time, rings and he cant get hurt by enemies, just get crushed or fall in a pit. It would add to the fun factor. Thats just my opinion, it would be nice to see Super Sonic playable like the older games.
@Sonic The Hedgehog: i agree, and if you could actually FLY, that would be even more awesome then just floating.
@SonicFanr.1:
well if they say Sonic can go 300mph. Imagine Super Sonic, maybe the speed of sound. He could be able with the ring energy to fly at max speed, it could be called Mach Boost!, who knows and when the meter runs out, she floats back to the ground. Im just imagining how fast and cool that can be.
i bet it would be cool
@ Sonic The Hedgehog:
That would be the ultimate yes from those that grew up with Sonic.
One of Sega’s reps even said they were looking into what to do with 50 rings, like the old games, so we may actually see SS playable in other levels besides the finale.
Possible NEW Sonic Unleashed info.
Might be the evil monster that Robotnik awakens in the game. Could be the final boss like Perfect Chaos.

Sonic Unleashed’s new Hedgehog Engine (as well as the modified PS2 and Wii engines) pretty much solve most of the problems with the previous recent Sonic titles (e.g. slower gameplay, un-cooperative camera system, complicated 3D gameplay), so hopefully it was receive a score of at least over 7.0 out of 10. Most of the previous recent Sonic titles have unfortunately maintaned a score of near 5 out of 10.
@Mystery the Hedgehog: sonic and the secret rings actually got more then a 5 from most reviewers… and i believe it to be worth at least ~7.5/8.0 or something.. and sonic rush adventure got like 8.0 from most reviewers too, and these are recent sonic titles… however, I understand what you’re point is, and I feel the same way.
it would be cool if it was SONIC ADVENTURE 3 but SONIC UNLEASHED is a title that make sense(and cool)
@SonicFanr.1:
yea the reviewers got their Halo/GTA4/Gears of War caps on, and any other game is always a 5-7 score if its not up to the hype. No offense to Halo or GTA4 or GOW players, but Sonic was around before any of these games even got imagined. I would bet a 300mph hedgehog and now we have a Werehog beast, i bet either one can cause more damage and do crazier stunts than those games put together.
Again my opinion, i could be wrong, i might offend some reviewers, but thats what they do to Sonic fans.
@Sonic The Hedgehog: I actually own Halo, GTAIV, Gears of war xD, but you also forget about MGS4 which recieved 10’s from every reviewer… GOW didn’t get 10’s, they got 9.5 and stuff… but anyway, you could be right but it’s also a fact that the latest sonic games haven’t been THAT good… I will be looking forward to the next sonic game that recieves a ~9-10 score… maybe some day, (maybe sooner then i believe) it will happen…
reviewers are mostly fair, and they can’t treat gaming icons different just because of that… they have to remain professional. If a mario game would TRULY suck ****, i believe they would give that game a score which it deserves.
I’d like to see Super Sonic fight the final boss by himself for the first time in like 6 years.
Sonic Adventure 2: Sonic and Shadow fight the Final Hazard
Sonic Heroes: Sonic, Knuckles and Tails fight Metal Sonic
Sonic the Hedgehog 06′: Sonic, Shadow, and Silver fight Solaris
Sonic Rush/Rush Adventure: Sonic and Blaze fight Eggman & Eggman Nega
Even Sonic Advance 3: Sonic and Dr.Eggman fight Gemerl
Oh, but he does fight as Super Sonic by himself in Sonic Advance 1 & 2. I forgot until I remembered Sonic Advance 3. Hehe.
I can’t wait for this game!
@SonicFanr.1:
true, i mean Sonic R was poor in control, Sonic Shuffle wasnt that good either.
@Sonic The Hedgehog:
no offense on the games i mentioned, i have Halo and GTA4, they rock, they deserve the scores totally. I want the icon characters who started most of the video game world get the credit they deserve.
@Sonic The Hedgehog: Who doesn’t? especially considering what kind of website this is.
xD
I would like to have Super Sonic be an unlockable chao garden character along with Tikal, Chaos, and silver. :)
Heck yes, Sonic is king here
@Sonic The Hedgehog:
Those reviewers that you mentioned seemed very fair. But just because you “like” a certain character, doesn’t mean reviewers should automatically give it high ratings.
If you want, you could become a reviewer and give Sonic 06 a perfect 10.
I’d personally like to see Eggman actually GAIN CONTROL of Dark Gaia instead of failing to control a force much more powerful than himself…again. Does he ever learn? …well, he keeps on trying to take over the world, so that’s that settled. >___<;;
Still, he could (sort of) take control of Perfect Chaos in the Sonic X comic series, so if he did it in Unleashed, in the games, it’d be pretty awesome.
@dog@bird.net: He never said anything about giving Sonic games a better rating just because he liked Sonic…he just said that he believes that the older video game icons that started the whole thing are being thrown aside for the newer heroes. At least that’s what I got from it…
