Never trust a box folks.
Yesterday, MKSkillz sent us a link to Play.com showing off what might be the Sonic Unleashed Box art. While we always appreciate the heads up — we don’t always post about leads if there doesn’t seem to be enough substance behind them.
I think we might need to take a step back here. While this certainly looks compelling, I’m going to suggest that this might not be the official art for the game. It could be. But folks are jumping to conclusions it seems.
If you want my honest opinion, the “Box Art” in question looks like it could be a Photoshop mock-up. I know it’s on Amazon, so it must be official, right!? Well, not so much, as Amazon allows users to upload their own product images, and it’s not rare to see placeholders for upcoming games in online stores like this.
So in short, I don’t mean to be raining on this parade, but I do think we should take one tiny step back and wait for the official word from SEGA before making any final judgment calls here.
@KC Cross: @Sonic The Hedgehog:
That’s because it’s squeezed at Play.com via default. All other sites don’t show it. Remember, PS3 boxes are wider.
OH HAHA ok sry
ur right but fact is
if a pic isnt 100% confirmed, PEOPLE WONT BELIEVE IT.
thats human nature.
we can believe its real, but NO ONE KNOWS if its real until we get confirmation.
thats it.
o well.
@KC Cross:
I’m comparing this situation to that one. People think this is fake, but it is real.
@Mike: Are you saying Sonic and the Black Knight is fake?
SEGA announced it was coming out Spring 09
I’ve been lurking every sonic board on the internet and there are no screenshots of Sonic or were-sonic in those positions.
Face it, that’s the real European box art.
(Sonic with a sword!?!?!? It’s a shop!!! I can tell from the pixels and from seeing alot of shops in my time!!!)
i hope SU doesn’t take a lot to load. not like other games that u start the mission, it loads, u finish the mission, it loads, u press start, it loads. God that’s so lame…
this wont be the official one. The real art would never look like this……dunno it looks so strange somehow :O
@Hubert: yeah thats where i got the pic from
i still PUT THE XBOX & STUFF LOL XD

the one above could be photoshop, or a filler, or anything but official.
we can only wait for confirmation.
Yep, that’s a new render all right. I’d say it’s official.
Sonic: “Shadow, what does the scouter say about Knuckles power level?”
Shadow: “Its over 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD
lol, hyper super knuckles XD
@Umiyuri: Knuckles wouldn’t have a gun DUH lol
he would have LEFTY & RIGHTY HAHAHA
yeah i think it would be cool if they had, like, a “wolverine movie” type of feel to it
like BEFORE KNUCKLES MET SONIC kind of thing
then they could have hyper knuckles at the end
that would be crazy son! lol
just sayin’.
This was all i could find on the Gaming Convention 08
i think its right. lol
(they’re gunna have MAPLE STORY YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!! lol)
