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.

@rockerdude same here! by the way im a DUDE so the name might somehow misslead you.
I need to finish this:
SONIC the Hedgehog was a crap game because Microsoft made Sonic Team rush it so that it could be released before the PS3 came out. If Microsoft hadn’t done this, Sonic Team would most likely have spent an extra six months programming it and then another few porting it to the PS3. If you’re going to blame anybody, make it mixed between Sonic Team, SEGA and Microsoft. And their QA team, but they can be fired easily.
This time, because Sonic Unleashed has no conflicts with hardware releases, they’ve taken more time. I would have expected this to be released alongside Chronicles, so when they said it’d be released around Christmas I was quite pleasantly surprised. Remember that this game has been in the wings for three years while Secret Rings took two.
I also have no quarrels about the 4Kids cast. Sorry that I keep saying this. They don’t program the games, y’know. I have no problem with them continuing to work on Sonic games.
Umiyuri@: Whaaat!?!? Microsoft was behind this the entire time!?
@RockerDuDe: There will be a town which you can go back to and explore (like sonic adenture and sonic 06), just look at this website’s LEVEL magazine translation.
@Umiyuri: Whoa… are you sure that the real villain actually was microsoft ?? whoa… i was certain it was SEGA, but it makes sense though… why else would they have to rush it? thanks for the info, now i feel way more excited about this game. :D
@Umiyuri:
Sounds more like a conspiracy theory if you ask me. (Although it would be like moneybags Microsoft to pay SEGA off to release the game earlier on the 360.) Are you sure that isn’t just a little bit too far fetched?
@Xeternalstar: Sorry, I don’t know if or when a Wii demo or any Wii related thing will come out for Sonic Unleashed before the game is released. I do know that the demos for the PS3 and 360 version will be download-able near the release date of the game though. My guess is it will be available for demo in October, which means that if there is a demo for the Wii version, it will be in the Demo Disc with the Nintendo magazine that is released for October which would be the November issue I believe.
Yeah, sorry, I doubt that helped any. This is just speculation, I don’t know if there is going to be a demo for the Wii version.
Yeah Dark Gaia sounds way better than Dark Giga, and woah, Eggman is really eviiiiiiil in this game, “thats all I needed you for” thats what he says to Sonic seeing him mutated and knocks him off the ship into the earth! lol awesome! I cant wait for this!
Sonic Unleashed is looking better and better! I can’t wait to see more. I just hope the Wii version isn’t too different than the 360 and PS3 version. I only own a Wii console. I think there shoul be a complete remake of the original Sonic the Hedgehog in it. It would still be in 2-D, but with 3-D graphics, like Sonic Unleashed is. That would be awesome!
@DarkChaos:
Somehow I doubt the likelihood of there being a Wii demo disc released to the public, let alone as early as October.
@Dude X:
That sounds great! The only problem is SEGA might not be very willing to remake the original Sonic the Hedgehog again considering that the GBA version turned out to be a huge flop, not to mention that Nintendo may not be very keen about the idea either since it would probably reduce sales of the original on VC.
@Final Rush: It was just a guess. I don’t have the adapter to get my Wii on the Internet yet and so I don’t know if the Wii allows you to download Demos on there. I have a cable connection, not a wireless. As for when the demos would probably come out, I think October is about right since the game is suppose to be released in November. Give the demo a month ahead of time release before the game. It’s just guess work though, I could be wrong which, wouldn’t surprise me.
More excited!! I can’t wait for this game. All the stuff I’ve seen so far I’ve liked. I always wanted a Knuckles fighting element back in the games and I have that with Weresonic. I loved the speedruns in Sonic ‘06 and the sense of speed that you got when going through them. (I always replay Kingdom Valley just to play that amazing speedrun) This game is perfect!!
I can’t wait until this game comes out,I know I want be able to get(Don’t have the system)But when I do get the system most likely get NO matter what everyone else says.
@Final Rush: I’m pretty sure. Microsoft, SEGA, everybody thought that it was going to be the game of the year. A lot of Sonic fans wanted it, and to get it they’d need to buy a Next-Gen console. Microsoft sped it up to before the PS3 was released so that more Xbox 360s would be sold in that year. Obviously, the plan didn’t work, and SEGA were left with a mess of programming that they had to get out on the PS3, which put more stress on them to release it in time and so screwed it up even more.
By the way, nice name. Can’t wait until I reach that stage. ^.^
@JasonT: dont worry they have split the develepors in to teams 1 group is working on the wii?ps2 and the other is working on xbox360/ps3 and there sharing the information so in other words the game is going to be good
hey i think i’ve found out who shoud play the voice of weresonic.
if you like or watch pokemon do you think that the person who played loucario from pokemon:loucario and the mystery of mew,that person who played loucario shoud play the voice of weresonic. please tell me if it a good idea or not.
@sonic roaltyx: You mean Greg Eagles? Well, I suppose Sega COULD let them give it a shot, but I don’t think they’ll find it fitting. Maybe they’ll just alter Jason Griffith’s voice (e.g. make the pitch lower, add animal SFX) instead. Or maybe they’ll have both Greg and Jason saying Were-Sonic’s lines at the same time (like Kara Edwards (Young Son Goten) and Laura Bailey (Young Trunks) did for Gotenks in Dragon Ball Z).
@Mystery the Hedgehog: i’ll agrea with you maybe thats what they shoud do to make weresonic more intersting. cause the intense of this game that idea is a awesome for weresonic. thanks Mystery the Hedgehog.
@Umiyuri:
I know people are entitled to their own opinion, but that doesn’t give you the right to make such false accusations. Sega has confirmed SEVERAL TIMES that they wanted to release the game in 2006. Infact, Sega generally spends 1 year of development per game.
http://games.kikizo.com/features/sega_sonicteam_interview_feb07_p3.asp
That is an ACTUAL INTERVIEW in which Sega confirms that their entire plan was to release the game in 2006. People get sued all the time on wikipedia for defamation due to false info.
Man, how could anyone be more worried or indifferent about this. HOW! I call out the campers who have not gotten more exited as traitors.
@xbox say: Damn, that’s why. They really need to slow down. :(
OKAY!!! let me explain sonic goes like 100 miles per hour eggman separates earth sonic transform into a werehog that can also strech his arms and 4 god sakes IT IS A SONIC GAME!!! how couldnt u b EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@xbox say: Look, I’m not blaming Microsoft only and completely and, no, I didn’t get the information off Wikipedia, either. I got it from another couple of websites, although I can’t recall which ones.
What I meant was that SEGA wanted to release both games around Christmas, but Microsoft put them under pressure to release it beforehand because of the upcoming PS3 release and their fear that the console would be better than theirs because it was in development for much longer. I don’t believe I ever said that it wasn’t going to be released in 2006 – I mean, Jesus, it was the freakin’ anniversary game and I’d never say that it wasn’t meant to be released then.
Okay, compromise – SEGA were stressed out by the development of the title for two very different consoles at the same time in a relatively short time for a dual development AND Microsoft bugged them to do it faster so that they could out-race the PS3 release, alright?
I’m sorry, I didn’t want to tick anybody off, and I’m not accusing anyone of anything. Except maybe the whole group for making what was potentially a good game so crap that every time I see it I shout ‘demon game’ and demand that it be taken off the shelves and every copy in stock burned because it’s so terrible a game that it’s not worth presenting in public.
@umiyuri: Maybe it WAS rushed.
Makes sense.
O well. lol
@KC Cross: Yeah. Imagine the pressure, though. Even if the game is that terrible, I don’t half feel sorry for SEGA for coming up with that storyline and then messing it all up like that… the story and the way everything clicked together felt like SA1 when I was watching the cutscenes on YouTube. It was all pretty clever.
Here is a link for the wii screenshots from youtube for sonic unleashed : http://youtube.com/watch?v=lbg1S2xIvIA&feature=related
the game is going to be the best sonic game ever

On NOVEMBER 8TH Sega announced that they would delay the Playstation 3 version. Before that date, Sonic 06 was scheduled to release on PS3 launch, November 17th.
Sonic 06 came to 360 on November 14th, 2006. Sega’s OFFICIAL reasoning for the PS3 version’s delay, “time needed to incorporate downloadble content.” It wasn’t until November 8th, 2006 did Sega last-minute delay the PS3 version… from practically the same time as the 360 version.
This has nothing to do with Microsoft, and Sega gave official word for the PS3 version’s delay.
@PrincessTikal: that was a good one hey. didnt stop me falling to my doom a hundred times though. From the trailers Su looks like a speed run non stop!
The snowboarding part in the snowy stage (omg i’ve 4gotten its name) and in crisis city was awesome to. Hope thats in SU. please please please they were so much fun!
The trailer made me dream of the game every night and now im really excited about it.
@PrincessTikal: Same! I wish you could warp straight to speed stages once you’ve cleared them though…
Sonic Unleashed is perfect!
@Sonic Rider: We can only hope.
It rocks I hope that sonic unleashed has a town stages and chao garden and I saw the gameplay it is PERFECT
…after the e3 trailer, I am convinced,THIS IS GONNA BE THE BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!YEAH,SONIC!!!TAKE THAT MARIO!!!!!I don’t get the werehog thing but it’s still cool
The 360 version looks cool! I just hope that the wii version turns out as good.
Oh and just in case people are wondering, maybe Sonic can’t talk as the werehog.But that’s just my theory.I think maybe he’ll just like roar and stuff.
I so agree with you,KC Cross.
