It may be shaky-cam, and half of the footage may involve unknowing bystanders blocking our view, but other than that, this is the first video of a full stage we’ve seen so far.
It’s Mykonos Greece, though I can’t say whether it’s the first of the stages from the world or not… but it’s a stage we’ve seen bits and pieces of before. Looks like the playtime was somewhere around 3 and a half minutes.
Video is down below.
Thanks to kkxprs and Jos-el for sending this my way earlier.
@DarkChaos: Sounds great! I only have Wii!
I love SU! And some more serious thing isn’t wrong.CHIP LIKES TEH ICECREAM!
CHANGE IN HUD! WE SEE SONIC GET EXP POINTS!
No sooner did those Sonic and the Black Knight videos hit the Internet, that people just had to rip the theme songs and offer them for download. Who are we to say no?
Let nothing stand between Sonic and his rings. The first Wii gameplay of Sonic Unleashed at TGS 2008
SEGA’s official website for Sonic Unleashed, filled with lots of information, an interactive Google Earth-like world map, heaps of videos and music that we haven’t seen before. A huge stash of new Sonic Unleashed related material can be found here.
This is a video of gameplay from both the Xbox 360 versions and the Wii version of the game.
Download and read mostly all Sonic comics, including both the Archie and Fleetway runs!
Well well, it seems that SEGA has given Sonic his own official Facebook! It’s got movies, screenshots, the works. Plus you can comment on Sonic’s page if you have an account of your own. Check it out!
See Sonic and Chao(and a cast of Samba characters) dance in Green Hill Zone in the first part of this trailer.
A funny sprite comic with daily updates,message bored,prayer section,and much more
Appreciate the help with gathering information folks. The new semester just started for me (I’m a full time blogger, and I attend a University — really an awful mix), so I’m not quite adjusted to the schedule quite yet. Thanks!
Have you seen the new Wii screens David?
Was that Chip at the end?
yes
omg this rocks O_O and david have u seen the wii screens on TSS?
did any1 see the little guy from the manga on the result screen
3: 39 pause there and look
those people just have to walk in fron of the camera…..-_-”
i can hear sambe de amigo in the gackground
People walking in front of camera is annoying!
Gameplay looks great!
Chip/Tip is real, but I think it’s kinda like Omochao.
that was kool
(except for the people who kept walking infront of the camera and just standing there…) so tip/chip is real… 
I wonder if the whole manga story is true then…
this cool but is this it for the week
I know it’s cool that the site is being updated with new info, but you don’t want to be a spoiler by revealing the WHOLE stage…:(
But on the other side, I’m really glad that there’s new info!:)
and another thing…Those peole are annoying! 0_o
Well, seeing the first stage(likely) isn’t too bad. And it’s good to have an idea of the play style for a whole level.
Alright, any observations?
1. Either the ranking system is more forgiving because it’s a demo at a convention, or it’s just more forgiving in general. Which I would applaud. I never can figure out why I get S and A rankings at bosses, but levels are more difficult.
2. The homing target looks like it will solve the “Am I doing a homing attack or jump dashing?” confusion, which is a positive.
3. I saw a few alternate routes…
4.The 2-D/3′D transition seemed like it went over well, and even made sense in terms of level design. Oddly enough, the camera stays focused better. If you go straight forward on a 2-d path, and then run up some stairs…the camera doesn’t have to switch to account for you going a different direction because YOU’RE going a different direction. It seems like a definite improvement, even if the cameras never really bothered me much in previous games.
I’m impressed.
I just looked at the Wii scans…well, they’re high quality scans but still scans. I’m sure the game looks better than that. Nevertheless, it looks better than I predicted. It does look Secret Rings quality for the most part, even if the daytime segments look better than the night ones(colorful graphics look more 360-ish than polished nightime colors do).
Call me excited. At least I have Chronicles to help me wait.
Did Sega say there gonna release some footage of the other versions of Sonic Unleashed?Or is it just speculation?
@WereSonic: yeah probably speculation since the 360 and PS3 is the show version of sonic unleashed
Dang,when will we see the WII VERSION!!??
did you see the replay button at result screen
and if only they can have a demo on xbox360 today
Hay I can here the “High Europe” theme near the end!
Looking Good so far! It’s fast, furious, and easy to pick up and play by the looks of it.
Chip is ADORABLE! *hugs*
@Hannah the Echidna:
Sonic is sooo cute too! Especially the ending pose! Cute overload!
So thats Chip,seems like a replacement for the Omochao…..YES!!!!As long as it doesnt explain the obvious all the time. XD
what the??? is it me, or
does my comments being disabled?:/
@David Leggett: Same here. My third year of High school is starting up tomorrow and Mom isn’t letting me online during the week this year. Thankfully, I still have fridays and the weekends. ^^
Ooook, three more months and we will have the fun at home! PARTY!!!!! ^___^
Ok, Chip is confirmed (cute little guy, hope he has no annoying voice like Omochao did), now let´s hope they confirm Fang/Nack the same way! That would knock me right out of my chair! ^^
cool!
three months demo today
WII SCREENSHOTS!!!LOOKIN GOOD!!!
oh and talking about Wii screens,
I found some more posted on a topic. And I have to say that they just look amazing! but I don’t know if they are real screen from Wii…
(I can’t give a link because than I this comment no where…:S)
just go to GAMESPOT forum and search for “First real Wii screens of Sonic Unleashed”
Cant get the URL on here…go to YOUTUBE!
@HoggerTheHedgehog:
I got a better Idea to set a link to the Wii screenshots!
click my name;)
man the gameplay looks insane the control seems very easy to pick up and play and the camera was brilliant the only annoying thing was the people sonic moves well and the game level looks pretty simple to control plus the player only died once which is great considering the amount of times he couldve died but didnt because the turns were simple yet i didnt see a falling off the world seen or any running parts that if u didnt pay attention for a second you would die. There was also alot of new additions in the level like chairs and tables fixed with umbrellas that u could knock if u wanted too and made it realistic but a disney like world very well done.
What the reaction command buttons look like:
V
V
B
“Press the B button, DAMMIT!”
Y-X-X
——–
“It says Y! Hit the Y button!”
A=
“Now come on, even -I- can get that one!”
Anyway, some good old roof-hopping, Adventure-styled checkpoints, black-holes… The graphics are pristine, but the level design is slightly linear… hmm…
-Chip! SEGA, you -promised- us no new characters and there he is!
…Aww, look! Chip’s doin’ a little aerial dance! <3 Now I’m happy.
(The mental state of a fangirl is hardly a sensible one, but it’s not as bad as it could be.)
EVERY ONE! click on my name!!! I want to know if these
sonic unleashed screenshots for Wii are the REAL DEAL!!=D
They look amazing!
okay this is not relevant to this game in particular but in japan they’ve been call dr.robotnik “dr.eggman” since sonic drift on the game gear for proof click my name for a youtube link(so guys they did not create the name for sonic adventure-most people think that)
God MOVE people!! Always right at the really exciting parts!!
Yep, that’s Chip/Tip all right…
@NejiBK: He’s always been Dr. Eggman in Japan. He was known as Dr. Robotnik everywhere else when SEGA of America decided to change his name for the English releases of the games. It was in Sonic Adventure when they decided to make both names internationally canon (Robotnik as his real name, “Eggman” as his nickname).
@HoggerTheHedgehog: they are those are real legit sonic unleashed screens nice find
What, are they walking in front of the screen on purpose?! Despite the screen being constantly blocked, this is awesome… And ****, the wannabe Tails Doll is there… And I thought they weren’t gonna introduce any new characters… I hope he isn’t like Omochao… O_O
@Kev:
Thanks:)
Hey david, you should see the screens too!
@Kevin: who cares as long as it doesnt mess up the levels do you really care i’m more focused on the gameplay right now than some side character but if the gameplay passes then choose whether u wanna dismiss the character he is a side mission though
I’m just crying of the thankful-ness that sega din’t destroy(well, almost) the nice 360 and PS3-like graphics for the Wii=D
OMG.
The gameplay. There was no glitches. It was fast. This. This is amazing. It looks awesome. I hope the Wii version is just as good.
OMG.Sega, you may have saved Sonic.
Shame Chip’s real, I won’t mind though if he’s just a replacement for Omochao.
The game looks amazing; they even fixed the framerate issues. I only hope Chip keeps his trap shut during the levels.
I’m impressed. Although I saw a few glitches, it wasn’t at all bad. The framerate held up, the graphics are mind-blowing, the speed is insane, and Chip (if that’s him) looks nice and he may be an interesting character.
Now I’m also excited for Werehog and since the two gameplay styles look vastly different, I think we may have a great game on our hands.
Only three months…
@Dizzydennis: Glitches? Where? I didn’t see any, but I may have just been blinded by the awesomeness of everything else.
@Dizzydennis:
O.o Where are the glitches?
That little Chip/Tip dude is there 0.o
Freakin’ people!! I was getting frustrated just seeing them walk by!!! D;
Well the stages resemble a bunch from real life cities… maybe he is on planet Earth ^^ hence the Japanese title: Sonic World Adventure
More proof that Mobius doesn’t exist? xD
no problem my good man. jus glad to be apart of the team!:D
http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/20914
check this out, guys!
During the entire video I’m screeming MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! People are walking back and fouth and at 0:44 I’m screeming MOVE and at 2:02 I’m screeming WILL YOU F@#KING MOVE OUT OF THE WAY. That game is looking so good I nearly fainted. SONICS BACK!!!
@Pirpuu: YAY! NO PEOPLE WALKING IN FRONT OF THE SCREEN!
Hmmm, shame they cut out some of the level. It looks brilliant though.
Whoever was playing it had no idea with the controls at the start though.
@Followedbyrocks: Correction: had trouble with the controls at the start…
Here is another gameplay video without people in the way.
http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/20914
@Sonic The Hedgehog:
Nice find!
That person playing isn’t very good….maybe this is the first Sonic game he’s ever played. But yeah, people need to move so we can see the friggin game! I just hope that Chip isn’t obnoxious in this game.
Woah.. I noticed one massive glitch.. after griding the player didn’t jump and it launched him backwards like 150 feet back onto the rails..
@Yamiseto:
XD
@James:
Yea not to handy with the game, but at least we get to see the game. I hope they release the demo like right after i post this, because i could play that level to death. It looks really nice, and the framerate is fixed. God bless SEGA!
That guy WAS terrible, but…we’ve all been there when we first play a game. lol It seemed he just struggled with the running controls, but he did grasp it pretty quickly.
Well, he’s new but I think Sega meant no new characters in the vain of Silver or Blaze or Shadow or…etc. This is just some storyline character…
My F***** coputer is ssoooooooooooo slow:’(
I can’t see this gamplay in its orginal speedX(
and it IS already annoying
that those guys are always walking front of the screeen.
—____—””
@Ravetothegrave:
Maybe that’s intended? People have complained about the rails, and that ******** up at all leads to instant death. Maybe they set it up so not jumping sends you back like the Rush series.
I didn’t notice it, so I’m just going by what you said.
Is there any way the original video can be downloaded?
also I’ve always wondered something all these big games get Special Editions right? (trust me I have the Halo 3 Special Edition MC’s helmet and all) Don’t you all think Sonic Unleashed should have a special edition?
@RaveToTheGrave:
I think they dashed into the spring pad, and jumped after it, because they went backwards before they jumped, and i guess the homing attack connected with the rails. I dont think its a glitch, just a player pressing to many buttons. He kept dashing all the time, that got him into trouble.
I…didn’t thank that was a curse word. I did NOT say the F-word. lol Well, we’ll say messing, then.
@RaveToTheGrave: Hmmmm, yeah, you’re right, hopefully that gets fixed. Knowing Sonic Team it probably won’t.
*Hopes plummet*
Unless, of course, the player messed up and it wasn’t a glitch.
@RaveToTheGrave:
Yea like include a gold ring, or chaos emerald, or a Sonic figure. Even some Sonic bubblegum. I miss that from 1992, the Sonic gum. SEGA should give it all they have with this game and marketing it.
OH MAN!
I WAKE UP, AND THERES A FULL VIDEO OF THE 1ST LEVEL?
GO CAMPSONIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m getting this.To me,The only bad sonic game was Sonic 06.I still trust Sega,
Oh well. Still nice to see half of the stage. At least we see the beginning and end.
Ugh! Can somebody PLEASE post this video onto youtube. This video keep stopping by itself in barly a minute in. >_<
@sonicfan: someone did a guy called sonicunleashedinfo posted it this morning but beware the quality isnt exactly pretty
igns hands on
well how do i put this they dont like it
they just went from horrible reporters to abysmal reporters.
http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/900/900897p1.html
I saw the game play vids and i for one am impresed by it anf the frame rated were great not perfect but a giant step for SEGA.
i saw like three humans in the video from gamevideos.com
OMFG it was chip the flying demon from hell!!! Hes gonna try to rape sonic then sonic is gonna kick his asssssssssssssssss!!!! LOLZZ
@…:
Well they’re mostly saying that the framerate is terrible and they don’t like the whole werehog Sonic concept (typically, it seems like alot of people don’t, atleast at first)
I just hope that Sonic Team will fix the framerate.
This got me excited, looks like the framerate got better, but I dunno since people kept blocking the view *mumblemumble*
So Tip/Chip is real? Eh, I don’t care, as long as he isn’t really obvious ( *looks at Omochao* ) and has nothing to do with the storyline, maybe the manga was just his backstory?
Is it just me but do Chip looks like a miniature Tails Doll in the clip?
@…: You can’t spell Ignorant without Ign.
Ign seem to hate Sonic games, so I wouldn’t hang on to their every word.
As long as that Chip character doesn’t get in the way of the storyline, then I’m fine.
All i got to say is that IGN is full of something. They dont have any sense of respect, they know one thing, negative remarks get more attention than positive ones, and they picked a legend to use it on. Sonic, kick IGN in the head at 300mph, and teach them not to mess with a legend.
I hope that SEGA can shut these stupid critics or reporters up once an for all
So just because you disagree with IGN that makes them terrible? It’s not just IGN that picks on Sonic. Pretty much every major gaming magazine and website picks on Sonic, and rightfully so. Most of his 3d games are mediocre. I hope this game changes the trend, but I’m not counting on it.
didnt that just look to easy.. i mean,, he was just running grindin pressin L & R,,, so tell me
wheres the gameplay :S
dose that y butten at the end say replay?
the stage was awesome!
the only problem was the people that were blocking our view!
Can you add this vid to CampSonic
http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/20914
also there might be a new trailer soon so keep a look out eveyone
there was nothing in the trailer folder although the folder was made 20th August, link:
ftp://segapr.segaamerica.com/SEGA_EVENTS/…ONLINE/Trailer/
Well, I don’t like IGN anyway. Their news is reliable, but they really don’t keep their opinions to editorials and reviews. They are the sort of news site that represent what I hate what news nowadays. They editoralize in EVERYTHING and I really don’t trust them.
I realize that’s the kind of journalism that interests people nowadays, but I’ve always appreciated information not just rampant opinionating. Frankly, their opinion doesn’t matter to me at all. Only mine does, when it comes to games.
@topraman517:
Even if his 3D games does well, major web sites and mags will still pick on Sonic anyways. Like Secret Rings for example: Some web sites has said that Secert Rings is one of the best 3D games since SA2 but once the hype for the game dies down, they’ll just bash on the series again. So I don’t care too much about what the media thinks of Sonic since I know whenever they find a problem in a Sonic game they’re gonna over-react about it and drag the score down.
But the only thing IGN is complaining about in the preview so far is werehog Sonic and the framerate which I hope Sonic Team will fix. They’re not complaining about the controls or camera, glitches, etc.
i aready said that was a replay button but the button could mean replay the stage or replay
HEY DOWN IN FRONT!!!……
Ah, Tip/Chip is there…well, if he can beat the metal pants out of Omochao, we shall tolerate his existence. He refers to himself in the third person! He uses tildes! He gets the crud beaten out of him nearly every opportunity! So YOU don’t have to! Besides, every major Sonic title since Sonic 2 has introduced new character (s) to the franchise. I was expecting this so there really isn’t a problem when they do introduce one…so long as it isn’t another hedgehog or of “fancharacter” quality! XD
Also, thank GOODNESS the humans look nothing like the manga did! They DO look like Pixar characters! And no longer are the days where humans don’t inhabit all of these action stages that are towns! Rooting Sonic on! Having conversations! The environments are so gorgeous…and at the end…Sonic and Chip actually OBSERVE the scoring screen! And Sonic at the end, he’s all posing like “YES! GOT IT!” and shows his mad b-boy skills all the way of the screen! …and it shows when you’ve beaten your old records in time and scores and rings and bonuses…!
ATTENTION TO DETAIL. You know what other game had loads of detail? Sonic Adventure 2. Which most people think is awesome. This almost blows SA2 away. IF THIS AMOUNT OF ATTENTION EXTENDS TO THE GAMEPLAY…WELL, WAY TO GO, SONIC TEAM<33
@Hannah the Echidna: Agreed! <33
@Koon-san: He didn’t seem to get in his way in the clip…he only showed up on the score screen, so I suppose that’ll be the case! The 4kids voice might not be the best, but ANYTHING is better than Omochao. Or Silver’s Japanese voice. It makes Silver sound like he’s going to eat me. D:
@sonicfan: …Trust me, if he was a miniature Tails Doll, he would’ve come out of the TV and killed EVERYONE.
CAN YOU FEEL THE SUNSHINE, BEEYOTCH? D:<
@Followedbyrocks: You’re right about that! Also, they ARE abysmal reporters! The band Fall Out Boy (one of my favs. __>;; If Sonic Team thinks they can make a game with that kind of frame rate work, then I’m not complaining. I don’t know how that kind of thing works anyways.
@razormoviez: Yeah…I’ve played Sonic Labyrinth and that makes it look like a cakewalk… It helps to have a bit of faith in SEGA. They DO make good games, that’s what we have to realize. XD
@Golden~Hedgy: The Sonic games have always been set on Earth, in the Japanese continuity. The US and the UK were the only ones to have the Mobius story with Robotnik as his name instead of Eggman. They fixed this with Sonic Adventure by introducing the Japanese continuity into the English game like saying Earth in the game and manual (I think) and intoducing the name of Eggman. The “transition” was finalized when Sonic Team officially made Eggman the name that is most commonly used and the Robotnik name as his family name. The only Sonic media that still uses Mobius (or a planet other than Earth) for Sonic’s home are AoSTH, SatAM and Sonic Underground…the Archie and Fleetway comics as well as Sonic X. Anybody else who says otherwise either hasn’t played Sonic in a while or is clinging onto the name for nostalgia purposes. Just don’t insult the people who call Eggman Dr. Robotnik, both names are correct! XD Putting in areas very similar to those on our Earth just about cements it not being Mobius. XD
@KC Cross: I just came back from my driving license test! I passed and got my operators license, and I have all of this to come home too! It’s great!
i wanna see a wii gameplay footage
OMG :0 …i’m impressed! i hope the wii version will look that good!
cool where is wii footage
SCREENS FROM THE WII VERSION FROM THE LEIPZIG CONFERENCE. LOOKS FREAKIN’ FANTASTIC.
@Crazee: I don’t like editorializing either. Like TSSZ, most times they do a good job, but there is this one dude that editorializes a lot about Sonic in the articles. He said that this dude at Naughty Dog “was just as disappointed at the state of the Sonic franchise as you are” but the actual guys statement seemed more like an observation from somebody who is looking at the franchise after a long time away from playing those games than being actually disappointed. I’d go on, but that’s besides the point. I trust TSSZ a lot more than The Sonic Stadium regardless…especially since TSS isn’t a “Sonic news” site anymore. >__>;;
Gameplay is WAY too fast. Not a good sign. At all.
I hope the Wii version is slower…
thats awesome
the gameplay is suppose to be fast and besides you can slow if you want
@Kev:
It’s a good sign for those who thinks that “ALL SONIC GAMES SHOULD BE ABOUT SPEED!!!”.
Those who don’t want speed as the main focus in Sonic games and wants a good mixed of platforming – not so much.
thats pretty cool even if the cameras got ants in its pants. I’m not gonna watch it all I want the game to be a surprise. just 30 seconds and the end so i can see this chip) but it looks good. You can home in even after you hit a spring instead of just falling into the midst of enemies!
the wii version seems to have different bars/gauges than the 360 one. it doesn’t say shiel and vitality for the werehog and the ring energy is divided in segments (and there is no speed bar
) i hoper they fix that, but the gameplay looks awesome, and i think chip is like shahra
I want to see ps2 gameplay and screenshots. I want to see running sonic on other consoles. I also want to see a antartica level where you run and jump from icebergs, dodge penguins, and run through igloos. I also want a brazil level, where you run on the beach and stuff. I liked this video. chip/tip looks weird. Hope he dosen’t annoy you while your running
Hey, everybody.
I put the GameVideos.com version of the Sonic Unleashed 1st level on YOUTUBE.COM if
anyone cares. lol
mayb chip’s like the camera man, like mario 64, where u can see the camera man, he might not use the camera, but it’s like we see through his eyes. get wat i mean????
Looks like we’re mostly happy with this so far. I did suddenly start reminiscing about Sonic Adventure halfway through it, so I think that’s a plus.
@Umiyuri: Yeah, the levels are linear, but I don’t think that’s never really been a downside to Sonic. Ever. And the new character… Well, as long as the not-so-subtle “Hey-I’m-going-to-explain-the-plot-right-off-the-bat” approach isn’t taken with it, then I really won’t give a darn. I’ve never minded Sonic’s increasing cast of characters, and I don’t see why I need to be an jerk now.
@someone: I’m pretty sure the little monster thingy is there to give tips, u know?
Cuz people dont know how to PRESS BUTTONS AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO STUFF BY THEMSELVES
plus there are ALOT of bosses so i’m sure the little thing is gunna give u tips on how to fight em.
Makes Sense.
@KC Cross: yeah completely agree with u dude he seems like the perfect person to explain things
@bill: a brasil level has already been confirmed dude packed with gorgeous beaches and detailed geographic locations
@bill: wow you said u wish there was a BRAZIL LEVEL HAHA LMAO
i wish there was a ………..
MYKONOS, GREECE LEVEL! HAHA
I wonder how the little monster thing sounds………..
I hope he sounds like Gilbert Gottfried XD
“Sonic, LOOK OUTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!” HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Hey, IMDB.com says that Sonic Unleashed follows SONIC HEROES!
Does anybody believe that?
@ inaudible:
I kind of feel like a hypocrite, since I write editorials myself. But not really…they have their place. A preview should update us on a game’s features, how it will look and play, maybe say how a game is shaping up in the summary. A preview should not dedicate itself to whining about one drawback (frame rate) that could very well be fixed and a segment they haven’t been able to play yet(the Werehog) and then talk as if you’re reviewing the final build. “I really wanted to like Sonic Unleashed but I just can’t?” What? Based on…frame rate and levels you HAVEN’T played that…you dislike for image not lack of playability?
I’m sorry, that’s really sloppy logic. As far as blogs and fan sites….I have no beef. They can feel how they want, they’re not obligated to be professional. They’re supposed to be opinionated, I appreciate it. TSS is a good site…I disagree with them quite often, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like what they do. They’re fans like me. When it comes to professional media…they act as if their opinion is “unbiased” and people obviously give them some credibility. People make buying decisions based on what they say, so they should make sure they don’t judge something as terrible three months before release for ridicolous reasons. If they said it was linear, fine…but that’s just awful.
@ KC: Well, it makes sense. Shadow and Secret Rings were side games, and as far as Sonic ‘06…according to the story, it never happened.LOL So, if it ties into a previous Sonic game than Heroes would be the logical choice.
…I’ve typed too much.
U know, PEOPLE TYPE ALOT on this blog.
Can anyone say………….FORUMS???????? haha
@KC Cross: forums, lol
MAYB CHIP IS LIKE SHAHRA…
makes sense.
SEGA released that Calibur would be a talking sword that will tell you help you in your quest in “Sonic and the Black Knight”.
I think SEGA was hiding the monster thing to strengthen the Sonic Unleashed hype.
o well.
Yo, did I miss anything?
not really.
just the whole 1st stage of Sonic Unleashed. lol
YES!!!!! im so glad they fixed the homing attack
in sonic 360 it was like an atomic bomb went off evory time you used it.
@Sonication:
you can click on the main page and find out yourself, ya know.
@Newbiespud: I don’t really give a damn if they add a new character – I draw fanart, for freak’s sake. It’s that SEGA actually promised in an interview that there would be no new characters appearing in the game.
@Crazee: Apparantly, Shadow the Hedgehog is actually part of the main canon series of games. Though it’s hard to trust Wikipedia for this (:D) I can see how, as its events do have a lasting effect on the characters and events. For instance, Shadow now has his memory back, which he lost in Heroes.
But then, that makes Sonic Battle canon as well.
@Umiyuri: WDF U SAID D@MN
HOW THE………. lol who cares haha
anywayz SONIC IZ AWESOMUH!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Umiyuri: Also this is stupid to say, but maybe Tip/Chip (w/e the heck its called) maybe possibly
ISN’T A NEW CHARACTER??????????????????
i mean why else would SEGA say NO NEW CHARACTERS?
either they’re idiots over at SEGA, or we’re JUMPING THE GUN!
come on. think about it.
@Newbiespud: …WAIT A SECOND!
…it looks so pretty…
The last Sonic platformer I bought was Heroes, SEGA.
HEROES.
MOTHERFREAKING HEROES.
MAKE THE WII VERSION JUST AS PRETTY AND GOOD, PLEASE, DIMPS OR W/E.
btw, new character @ the finish screen, the little Tip/Chip chihwahwa thing.
Great. >:[ I wanted him to be just for the stupid manga thingy.
@KC Cross:
didnt they also say no online and then later they said yes.
@sonic 06: To tell the tuth, magazines and SEGA themselves have spouting a lot of bravado, so we don’t even know if there wil be online or not.
Only three months untill the release, and still no information on Chao Gardens…
@Chaos Blast: Chao Gardens are gonna be in Chronicles (okay, so when I played it I didn’t get that far to find it, but the Chao egg at the Green Hill Zone map told me enough) where you can use them to up abilities, meaning they’ll have an actual role in gameplay. They even have a plotline role, judging from how they have speaker images. But I heavily doubt they’d be in Sonic Unleashed, as mainstream gameplay (the consoles minus Nintendo Wii) just doesn’t seem to want anything cute anymore.
@Chaos Blast: wow only three months! Where’s the year gone!?
@KC Cross: Chip could possibly be someone to give you tips like omochao but y not just use Tails? Makes no sense really if this fairy mutt isn’t important to the actual plot
Is there anyway to get this video anywhere else? It always stops to buffer and never starts back.
1- the gameplay is very good (perfect)
2- in the end of the stage we see a kind of a monkey
3- there might be a chao garden
@Umiyuri: I know they are in Chronicles, and the role that the play. True, the Sonic series has been going into darker tones, trying to catch on some of the “Mature” gamers. It’s not a bad thing though, I’m quite happy to see some more drama. XD Except Sonic dying was a bit cliche.
@TailstheHedgehog: I know, it just seems like yesterday that leaked footage and screenshots were released.
@Chaos Blast: Especially since Sonic was killed by a pastel rainbow, and they’re wasn’t any gore. XP
@Chaos Blast: It’s a kid’s video game. They don’t want you to see how his organs were torn asunder.
@sonic 06: O YEAH lol
@TailstheHedgehog: Tails isnt a tip-giver. lol
he is a PLAYABLE CHARACTER AND JUST AS AWESOME AS SONIC IS!
(well almost lol)
Can i get a TAILS UNLEASHED!?!?!?!?!? lol
it was annoying how everyone kept on walking in front of the tv. I could barely see!
@sonicgirl: iF YOU WATCH THE
OTHER VERSION of the video

@KC Cross: utoobe smelz, lol. i still find funny the “before my rings run out!” rofl

MORE SCREENSHOT WII VERSION
http://dswii.es/2008/08/21/gc08-mas-imagenes-de-sonic-unleashed/#more-9403
@WiiFP: You can online.
@Chaos Blast: You’re right Sonic dying was VERY cliche.
Now just to everybody out there: WHY DOES NOBODY FREAKING CARE ABOUT THE PS2 VERSION?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Chip? Well then, all my hopes and dreams just went down in the toilet…
, but I should have expected that, seeing as how there’s been at least one new character since Sonic 2 in the Master System/Genesis days, and we first saw the Fox/Fairy/Imp thing in that anime comic. But hey, at least it doesn’t look entirely like a fan character! c:
joking
But overall, this is something I thought we wouldn’t be seeing for a long time. Glad SEGA’s proving us wrong, they should try to fix up the framerate as much as possible, GameSpy seems to think that’s the only flaw in this game.
@Sonicdude48: How do you do it online?
@WiiFP: Go to Gamestop.com and pre-order the game! You just can’t do it for the PS2. If you want to pre-order the PS2 copy go to Amazon.com. Hope this helped!
@KC Cross:
Oh.
Say, doesn’t Chip look cute?
I wanna pet him!
@Sonicdude48: If i preorder the game online will they only send it to me via mail? Oh ya, if anyone else has been anticipating the Demo of The Force Unleashed, its on the marketplace, and whatever the PS3 has. I dont even like Star Wars, this just looks cool.
Is it just me, or does anyone else have this OCD thing where you have to get EVERY RING YOU SEE? It’s going to be very hard to do this going roughly 300 mph.
@WiiFP: Since rings are what you need to stay alive, this might be a case of OCD.
@Umiyuri: Yeah, I know Shadow is canon. But it’s a side story based on Shadow, and he has a very limited role in this game(maybe not even in the storyline) so my point was this game couldn’t “follow” it. I mean, technically it would take place after ShTH. But it wouldn’t follow the plot in any fashion. And then Sonic ‘06 isn’t canon…
Yeah, in ShTH Shadow learns who he is and decides stop whining about his past and start worrying about the here and now. Actually, Shadow was the only hedgehog sure of himself in ‘06…which was odd.
@WiiFP: And OCD means…?
I noticed in the Wii screenshots that in some screens, the ring power gauge was larger than it was in others.
I guess that means you can level it up, or something?
@Sonicdude48: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
@Sonication: So basically it means that you have to collect every single ring possible? Yeah, same here.
@Sonicdude48: Exactly!
NO! BAD CHIP! GO AWAY! NO DOUGHNUT!
@Umiyuri: I do realise that, I was being sarcastic about the gore.
@Sonicdude48: I have that too. Rings give you ring bonuses, which contribute to S-ranks. My friend is always telling me off for trying to get every single ring. XD
S-ranks? Huh? That stands for…?
@Sonicdude48: S Rank is the common highest ranking you can get in most video games.
Some games its D, C, B, A, & S
Other games vary, but in this case, the guy playing the demo got an S-Rank somehow.
Though he didn’t do very well.
That’s the conflict.
Is the ranking screwed up? lol
(P.S. S-Rank could stand for SUPER! lol)
i wonder when we are going to get the demo for download from the marketplace.
until then i just have to play heroes.
@KC Cross: OK but in the Sonic games I have it’s A,B,C,D, and E. Unless it’s the Rush series then it’s just A,B, and C.
@Sonicdude48: Opsessive Compulsive Disorder. (OCD).
hopefully a demo comes for download soon or we will all die
me too can’t wait for demo
I love every Sonic game, but this is unbelieveable, I don’t think Chip will be annoying, becouse no Sonic character annoys me unless you have to play them in a misson that’s not just “get to the goal”, and Chip is probabily just an Omochao, Shara, Tikal, guy, and won’t be a problem. I don’t know if you noticed, but I saw honest-to-goodness platforming P.L.A.T.F.O.R.M.I.N.G!!! the thing Sonic’s been lacking for years! I also noticed that there is not to many rails, and when Sonic jumps, the keeps spinning instead of the 1 flip we’ve seen science Snic Aventure, it looks cool! Where was this filmed? I heard the SEGA voice several times, and heard High Europe being played in the end! Is this E3 footage we never saw? And lastly to my o-so-long comment, This compleatly throws off the Sonic storyline, whitch is okay, but, Sonic is supposed to be on our Earth a thousand Years later(Mobius), so why is Sonic running around our world? The Sonic the Hedgehog comic is doing an adaption, and I have no idea how their gonna do it, becouse it’s based on Mobius, P.S. The Wii Screens look great, but I’m sure they’ll look better by the games release becouse this is just a demo version.
w8 a min shadows got his own storyline so so far u can be sonic tails shadow n werehog??????
@ROAAARRRR: No, i dont believe. 99.9% of the game is Sonic. The rest is dedicated to other characters’ minigames. Well, i assume they’ll be in the cutscenes.
oooooo klklkl coz they did this with sonic o6 i didnt know till the day i got that u were guna play as all the other charecters in pointless mini missions i hope they dont hide anything till the last min with this game
@KC Cross: I think I know how he got the S rank. The score didn’t drop back down to zero, as it does with previous games where that happens. Maybe they’re really going to make Sonic Unleashed more forgiving than it has been? I always hated that part of SA2:B; if you died while trying to clear hard mode, you pretty much had to restart from the beginning again.
@Crazee: I know. He was cool again and so self-confident, something that always used to get in his way.
The three hedgehogs were all being tried during the game: Sonic, when the fate of the world depended on his human companion’s happiness, was basically being accused of mass murder by Silver. At the same time Silver was trying to figure out exactly how things had happened and whether his coming back would actually change anything, and whether it would change things for the better. And Shadow was being faced down by the real murderer who was trying to turn him against the world again.
But of course, Shadow’s the only one who knows what he’s doing. After his discoveries in his solo game and Rouge’s words in Sonic Battle he gains so much confidence in himself that he even joins the Guardian Unit of Nations and works to protect the planet. He never backs down during his private war versus Mephiles. Possibly the only time he seems to be ‘holding back’ is when Sonic dies and Shadow avoids doing anything emotional… unlike anybody else. Probably embarrassed to show the way he truly feels about Sonic (and by that, I mean the slightly-more-love-than-hate relationship they have)?
Not only that, in Sonic ‘06, Shadow protected Sonic, allowed him to get away from Silver, and then KICKED SILVER IN THE FACE EVEN WHEN SONIC WAS NOT EVEN IN DIRECT DANGER ANYMORE. Wow, if that didn’t cause a sudden surge in Sonadow… But it somehow caused a surge in Shadilver… XD
@Aregulardude: I think the version of the game at this convention, or whatever is only giving S-ranks, becouse that way when the game comes out people won’t be like “I’m not gonna get that game becouse I can’t play it, It gave me an F” or whatever the lowest ranking is. That’s not for sure, but that’s what I think.
@razormoviez: holy **** it is chip! that really sucks..
@ROAAARRRR: Shadow doesn’t have his own storyline. And if they were the only choices, which would you rather have in Unleashed: 99% Sonic with short minigames for other characters versus trying to emulate Sonic Adventure and failing miserably? Your call on which would work better.
@SpeedingHedgehog: *sigh* The “Mobius is Earth one thousand years later” thing relates to the Archie continuity. He’s been on our Earrh along, only with…a whole load of differences. XD I posted about it in here earlier…
@Umiyuri: Where did you see that interview again?
@Aregulardude: That’s what I’ve been saying as well! I thought I was the only person who noticed about new characters being a trend since the beginning! XD
Agreed, not looking like a fancharacter is good. XD
…but then again, there ARE some good lookin’ fan characters if you squint hard enough.
@Sonicdude48: well the games like shadow the hedgehog & sonic heroes (i think)
theres no “E”.
right?
@iNAUDiBLE: It was reported a while back on this website, I think.
Good lookin’ fan characters are generally those that are actually drawn to Yuji Uekawa’s style. They don’t have to have the colouring or the crisp lineart, but if the character’s head, body, limbs, eyes and muzzle are in the correct proportion and the individual features are suitably stylised then that means it’s good. And I would know a lot on this subject.
@KC Cross: Oh, I got E maaaaaaaaaaaany many times. Now I’m getting A’s on Heroes.
Apologies for triple-posting, but FANG IS NOT BACK.
Word from Mr Kevin Eva (that’s right, ArchangelUK) of SEGA Europe himself. He directly asked the brand manager if Fang was back. The response was, “who’s he?”
Looks like Shadow’s still in with a chance of being the game’s bounty hunter after all.
@umiyuri: Haha! I knew there were E’s!
@Sonicdude48: I always thought S rank stood for Sonic or Shadow or Silver. Just a play on letters.
Whaddya mean shadows got no storyline? Thats awful, his was my favourite in ‘06 I liked the idea of shadow appearing in the last boss battle of this game or even being a sort of baddie and being forced by GUN to hunt down the werehog. But i doubt he could be forced to do anything
‘I decide my own destiny’ shadow, last mephiles battle.
@Sonicdude48: yeah there were E’s in sonic heroes. Speaking of that game it is impossible to get all A rank. I’ve got like 5 to go but……..I hate egg albatross……. (steam comes out of ears) lol
@umiyuri: did you finish getting all A’s or still going?
@umiyuri: Maybe he was saying that to TEST OUR KNOWLEDGE OF FANG THE SNIPER!
He didn’t say “Fang WON’T BE IN THE GAME!”
ALSO WE ALREADY KNOW WE CAN’T TRUST SEGA!
THERE IS A CONFIRMED NEW CHARACTER, AND THERE IS ONLINE ACTIVITIES! DESPITE SEGA’S WORD!
Let’s not jump the gun. OK?
@TailstheHedgehog: LOL no
S rank is above A rank in some games.
other games (most sonic games) A rank is on top.
Although Sonic Riders had C, B, A, AA, S, SS, and X! lol
errr! They said NO NEW CHARACTERS and confirmed NO ONLINE GAMING.
I think someone from nintendo is sabotaging sega
wow riders had alot of ranks
what the heck was X for.
well chip is a new character and sega said they will have online
it could be downloable content and that only
all i know
@TailstheHedgehog:
They said new character would be kept to a minimum, that does not mean there won’t be any new characters.
oh wait i think i’ve messed up. Was online gaming confirmed I’m sorry ignore what i said about that but I’m sure they said no new characters. Obviously this has been proven false
sorry
this chip the fairy-mutt, is he actually new or has he been in really really old sonic comics or games?
@TailstheHedgehog: online gameplay was said not to appear in SU, so that means that u won’t be able to play online
OK ALOT OF PPL ARE SAYING THAT SEGA SAID STUFF AND DIDNT SAY STUFF.
I’m going to go look for references.
BRB! haha
chip is new and they will have downloable content
@KC Cross: lol
OK dumb question but who’s getting the PS2 version? ME!!!
@Sonicdude48: lol i dont have a ps2 or ps3 LOL
by the way I DIDNT FIND ANYTHING!
HELP! lol
@Sonicdude48: lol, i just have a wii… aren’t they the same???
@someone: In retrospect for this game yes, yes they are.

lol, mayb they r MINI CHIP GARDENS, lol
mayb chip is from the center of the earth, like that boss thingy is, lol
did you see that when the time for the movie reached about 2:12 the guy that was obstructing our view seemed to disappear when the two people crossed paths he DISAPPEARED OOOOOOOO ScArY …………………………………………………… boo!!
WHOA!!!! at the rankings the little flying thing was confirmed!!!!!!
WILL THOSE PEOPLE ******* MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!
DO THEY NOT REALIZE THEY’RE IN FRONT OF A GODDAMN CAMERA
@OMG: I wonder if any of them were aware of this site and went around telling their friends that their butt ended up on Camp Sonic? XD
Random question
Does anyone know if anything new came out on Sonic And The Black Knight
@sonic 06: Well u can check out
SonicSchoolMusical.com
if you want.
(That is a FAKE SITE lol)
its a play on this site, Camp Sonic.com! hahaha
@KC Cross:
What do you mean by fake?
@sonic 06: i made it up.
see Disney has movies called Camp Rock and High School Musical.
so i thought, this site is called CampSonic.com for Sonic Unleashed.
I also thought, maybe there is a blog site for Sonic & the Black Knight!
I would call it:
SONIK SCHOOL MUSICAL! lol
(It’s complicated.)
O i get it
@sonic 06: sry lol
SONIC PWNZ ALL HUMANZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ lol
@KC Cross:
For what
and you got that right!!!
@sonic 06: sry if i wuz kinda misleading with the fake site & all haha
and yeah i wonder who would win:
Mario with a cape
or Were-Sonic.
COMMENTS? lol
@KC Cross: Its ok
Weresonic would ripe the cape off of marios back lol
@sonic 06: lol i thought u were trying to say R@pe HAHA
BUT YEAH thats true
and in MY opinion Sonic would ZOOM CIRCLES around that freak1n plumber haha
I’M ACTUALLY A NINTENDO GUY THOUGH
SRY SONIC! lol
(The sun goes down.)
Were-Sonic: “Unacceptable. Falcon…………….PUNCH!!!!!!!!!!!”
Mario: “Mamma Mia!”
KC: “O SNAPS MARIO RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” lol
@KC Cross: lol
im kinda in the middle but favor sonic a little more.
@sonic 06: lol i guess
but if sonic & mario were hanging off a cliff & u gotta save 1
then SRY SONIC! HAHA thats a bad way to put it.
ill just say MARIO IS-A NUMBER A-ONE!
@KC Cross:
hes good kid real good
but as long as sonic’s in town he will always be second best
@sonic 06: lol i guess
lol
Glitch at 1:11
wtf is up with him not wearing pants… im mean, its 2008, get with the times… put some pants on!
@cool guy: THATS WHATS UP! HAHA
GO OVERALLS! lol
lol its not 1991 anymore LMFAO
That was AWSOOOMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
@cool guy: Do you even know how uncomfortable furries find trousers? Plus, they’d mess with his aerodynamic shape.
@asdfghjkl: EVERY video game has glitches somewhere. I’m personally not surprised. Besides, it didn’t seem to mess with his game.
i cant imagine sonic or any of the heroes in trousers. That would be weird.
And to think, i suppose someone somewhere said they could never imagine a hedgehog colored blue with enormously gloved hands
hmmm
lol
Picture sonic in briefs or sumthing haha
Sonic: “I…got PANTS ON!!!!!!!!!!!”
haha FTW XD
I’m finally back on here. My Internet was completely down for over a week.
Anyways, I am very impressed with the visuals, I just hope that this is like one of the first levels. It appeared to be so darn easy. There was no really difficult part to control Sonic through and the enemies didn’t even fire a weapon at Sonic. I always enjoyed the challenges in the game the most and so I hope the game is more difficult than that demo. It is just a demo and so maybe they are still working on getting all that stuff programmed in.
@KC Cross: Yeah. Tails comes up to him. “Soooooo technically I’m naked?” “Yeah, pretty much.” Tails feints. Shadow comes. “Hey what’s with Ta- OH MY GOD!!! YOU’RE SONIC!!! YOU DON’T WEAR PANTS!!!!!!!” “You’re right.” Starts to pull of pants. “Oh no you don’t Sonic. This is a KIDS game.”
new screens on the japanese site
http://sonic.sega.jp/SonicWorldAdventure/#/index/screen
just more of the china level and werehog.
@…: Cool.
@iNAUDiBLE: Yea, I alway refer to the Archie story, but I’m saying I wonder how “The Archie Sonic” is going to run thru our world in the comic.
Sorry for the Double post, but I was reading the last few comments before mine now, and some Sonic characters wear clothes (Amy) Some don’t (Sonic) and some just wear jackets (Charmy) It’s Cr@Zy!!!
1 WHY DID I HAVE TO BE AWAY JUST NOW.
2 gameplay looks good,and you can see what happens when one blunders now.
3 that new character looks to be the new shara,do not worry.
3 things
1st i wrote a big long message and said i didnt type a message and i did so have to retype again thats ***
2nd when will the demo be on 360 live?
3rd is their a preorder bonus for it cause i might preorder and if their is i definataly will
Can we download this vid or no??? (Just wondering)
1:11 is indeed weird.
I think it is a programming bug that increases the speed you gain from that ramp…
Just letting you guys know that there IS a Wii demo of Sonic Unleashed at Leipzig… but it isn’t working.
Chris from Official Nintendo Magazine UK (who is currently at the convention) has this to say:
“Unfortunately the Wii version wasn’t working but I was assured that other than the obvious graphical limitations, it’s exactly the same game as the 360 version with exactly the same levels, so I played that instead. I can’t talk about the graphics obviously, but the controls are great: it reminded me of the first Sonic Adventure because you actually have some control over Sonic now and it’s not so frustrating. Finally, a good Sonic 3D platformer! Um, except the werehog sections. I didn’t like those so much. They seemed too basic and slow. Anyway, not bad at all.”
Before you pick up on it, I know he’s wrong about the Wii and 360 versions having the same levels.
But at least this confirms the presence of Sonic Unwiished at Leipzig, which means we may be seeing some gameplay videos or trailers if they get it fixed in time…
*crosses fingers*
now second the level seems pretty simple and easy so the player can grasp the controls i noticed in this one the rings dont follow him even when sonic boosts at super speed the level looks really fun and fast paced as well as easy to control and the camera is brilliant (has to be for this game to work) the only issue is the framerate and there wasnt really a framerate problem in sonic 06 so they can fix this. it was also explained that in this level alone their is already more than 15 different paths u can take to finish the stage kinda feels like rediscovering the certain places u havent been in and encouraging replayability. the 2d side was awsome and made me remember the good ol genisis days in sonic’s history. The transition from 2d to 3d is very well done and intuitive i saw a little bit of platforming in the level but i doubt this is the entire stage in recent demos for sonic i remember the sonic adventure 2 demo ended about halfway through the stage a minute before u hit the truck chasing scene
run sonic run run like yo never ran in the games
http://www.gamekyo.com/Webmasters/Images/149720080822_185358_27_big.jpg
^ Do want one of them
@MK Skillz:
cool
@MK Skillz: Ooooh, So do I! Is it free with a magazine? *goes off to Ebay to find one*
My friend has a HUGE Sonic collection, I’m sure she’ll have it…
@Chaos Blast:
That picture of the Werehog door hanger thing was from Leipzig, it’s what Sega are using to keep people out of all their top secret rooms!
Top secret stuff like why the Wii demo isn’t working and when they’re going to unveil the Wii trailer… probably…
If you’re looking for magazine freebies though I can confirm that the latest issue of Official Nintendo Magazine UK (officially out next Friday) comes with a pack of posters, one of which is a Sonic Unleashed poster.
Potentially big news here folks… I have managed to find a guy who claims to have gone to Leipzig and played the Wii demo of Sonic Unleashed yesterday, and here are his findings:
- Graphics very good
- Game runs very smoothly
- All 3 control types of display (he used GameCube for most of it)
- Sonic Boost activated by waggle for Wiimote and Z for GameCube controls
- Homing attack performed either A>A or slamming Wiimote down in mid-air (like in SatSR)
- The camera moves around every 30 or so seconds from 2D to 3D
- Smooth transitions as the camera pans out instead of awkwardly switching
- 3D sections are not on-rails
- Quick Step performed using L/R shoulder buttons on GameCube controller
- Werehog combat is waggle based for Wiimote
- Sonic has been scaled down since 06, he’s no longer as freakishly tall
- Overall, finds GameCube controls nicer
Now, I don’t want you to take this 100% seriously as I myself doubt his authenticity and he is providing no proof that he was there… and if Sonic Unwiished was shown off, surely someone else would’ve taken a quick photo or video?
That part that people say is a glitch isn’t, It looks to me like sonic running into some thing that throws him back on porpuse.
Above post = HECK YES!
Even though its not confirmed..but still…
SOMTHINGS WRONG KEEPS ON STOPING
@MK Skillz: Too slow and basic?
Eh, while the Werehog is slow, I doubt that the gameplay is anything but basic…especially if they implement the platforming well.
**** poster! **** doorhanger~!
@MK Skillz: His height didn’t seem that strange in Sonic ‘06…but yeah, they scaled him down since Sonic and the Secret Rings.
Well, it does seem to be coming off well, if it turns out he’s telling the truth.
Oh, so we’re not allowed to say that now?
…
GOOD LOOKING poster! GOOD LOOKING doorhanger~!
That’s what I meant. Truly. XD
they better get a demo out soon hopefully they or sega are dummys : ]
i think we’ll get a demo in september or october definitely because their will be the tokyo game show and october is closer to release
but you guys heard about the framerate problem for the game i’m betting their gonna fix that first before they release a demo because people will complain about it indefinitely
I didn’t want Chip in it….but whatever I’ll live.
@MK Skillz: …or WereSonic will eat you.
JK. He’ll just rip your arms off.
Anyone think the level might be longer, since it is a demo, just like the Sonic 06 demo?
@lxMetalSonicxl:
i hope so
to me, chip almost looks like a chao.
the only thing is that it doesn’t have the magical emotion ball.
Say hello to the new OMOCHAO!!!
i repeat the level looked too easy,, am i the only one that thinks so
so how long will this game take to finish,, i mean i wanne be spendin at least a week or so
pls let them make it a bit long
@jaouad: Ya, it probably looked easy because its the first level. And i think it was confirmed every level is five miles long. I think someone correct me if im wrong.
@jaouad: It was the first level
What do u expect lol
also they plan to add extra things in the game, like achievements and stuff
(maybe a chao garden!?!?!? lol)
IMO, they will have a thing where u can replay the game as Super Sonic or sumthin lol
also its hard to say how long the game will go because we dont know how long were-sonic levels are. lol
PLUS the wii/ps2 versions of sonic unleashed are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT HAHA
@WiiFP: i think it is like 5 miles or sumthin lol
shiny end ring!
@KC Cross: How do you know the Wii/PS2 versions are completely different? I keep reading conflicting info on this regard. I know the Wii will have motion sensitive things like the Wii should but is that it, besides lower graphics? Also, how is the PS2 different besides graphics quality? If you, or anyone else knows, I would really appreciate clarification on this. I am getting the game for the PS3 because I want the higher graphics, but I may pick the game up for another console if the difference is great enough.
@DarkChaos:
They aren’t COMPLETELY different.
But the daytime levels won’t have the same design in the Wii version as the 360/PS3 version.
Are they even still making the PS2 version? >_>
@DarkChaos:
Sorry didn’t reply properly… but hey the comment’s right above me so it should be alright.
@KC Cross: in the play magazine interview they confirmed that the levels will be six miles in length (shortest level) and bigger ones will exceed more than six miles plus like u said we got tons of missions and achievements unlockable secrets and maybe chao for the game that with the levels that boast more than 15 different paths in the first level means alot of replayability
@DarkChaos
No word on it in a while I believe.
Maybe it’s SO different, they are keeping it in hiding till later as a surprise.
..or they could have dropped it altogether, as we have moved onto the next gen consoles anyway…
You decide.
5 miles per lvl. 300 mph, hmmmm. looks like u can finish the lvl in ’bout 30 seconds, lol. and it’s supposed to be that the daytime lvls for the wii r being developed by dimps (from SR), and the nighttime lvls for wii r being developed by sonicteam. so mayb the night lvls r the same, but with worse visuals. i also noticed that there is no speed bar
, and the ring energy is shown differently. and the shield/vitality bars r different. in overall, the wii version is at least 60% different than the others. also, b/c nintendo is kinda childish… lol… there might be a chao garden for wii, or mayb A MINI CHIP GARDEN. XD. but i doubt it, jaja. i really hope the wii is as good (or better 
) as the 360 cuz i only have a wii, lol.
Well, that looked fun. My only concern is the part where you stop and have to crawl under that thing. That looks like it’s going to break up the fun parts, which is moving fast. Also, PS2 and Wii are going to be the same, but Wii will have gimmicky controls. Or innovative, depending on whether you like them or not.
Glad to finally see some gameplay, but I own a Wii so I’d like to see some of that.
Also, I heard someone complain about Sonic’s shadow in the Wii version being a circle on the ground. I can tell you right away that this is not laziness, but necessity. I’ve done some 3-d modeling and the lighting is done automatically with the placement of lights, never manually. Lighting on a moving model like sonic would eat up memory that the Wii doesn’t have.
@Maddok: Thanks for answering that, but I think the different design part is just to make it easier for the system to play the game. I don’t think it really is a difference, or does it really change the level that much? Oh yeah, I know the PS2 version is still being made because the Best Buy website has it for preorder and I believe Amazon has it for preorder as well.
@RGamer: Heh, it would be nice to have something that different, but I doubt it. Wasn’t there a comment by one of the Sega’s staff saying that the designers for the PS2 and Wii are working closely together? If that is the case, I doubt there really is much difference besides compensation for lower graphics. That’s mainly why I am thrown off that the PS2 and Wii are considered different. Maybe I am just thinking things as different to a too high of a degree and the difference is so my-neut it isn’t worth noticing. Hopefully, things will become clearer on that subject as it gets closer to the release date.
they said 9 stages,, so that means 18 + the night levels + chillin in the world map
im just kind of comparing this to a mario game,, lets say mario galaxy for example,, so many stages,, and every mission in the stage is like a stage on its own so that makes it even more,,
i know sonic has never been like this,, but when im thinking about sonic adventure dx of sonic adventure 2,, they had more stages didnt they ?? adventure 1 sonic had 10 stages and plus the other charachters i think it would end with 20 25 or somethin like that..
adventure 2 had like a total of 26 stages dont know im just guessin
so this gamne is like new and next gen
wouldnt it be just great if the game had like more stages??,, 9 is just not enough,,, 12 would be better
or 15
,, the more the better !!! i wanna replay all the stages again so i can never get bored
@jaouad: sonic heroes had 14 stages (7 maps) plus boss levels. Thats my favourite sonic game and one of the best. It still makes me smart that critics gave it a low score because it was to easy. What rubbish!
Sonic 06 had 10 breathtaking levels (so sais the cover, hate tropical jungle) plus boss and superspeed stages.
9 seems like enough depending on how well done and how long the levels are.
The Wii version levels -are- different, to make up for the change of control style. However, the level themes and the story should be exactly the same.
oh yeah and plus the other characters u mould have (in SH) i think its 64 stages.
hehe i did that in my head
…..its not that amazing
oh and plus boss levels
hmmm i think sonic unleashed probably needs more than 9 levels I think your right jaouad. the more the merrier
well i think it would have around 27 for day,night,and boss
Well from what I’ve heard it sounds like the Wii might be the worst out of the 4 systems it’s being made on. Though the PS2 and the Wii are being made by the same people that would make you think the graphics would be the same right? Wrong. The PS2 overpowers the Wii in graphics many times over. You’re probably thinking: Yeah right. Well just rent Bionicle Heroes for it and I’m telling you the graphics are very good. And just to see how good video scenes can be for the PS2 I recommend Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter. Who’s laughing now Nintendo? Muahahahahah!!!
[...] En fin, eso es todo por ahora. Ah s
@Sonicdude48:
lol
a ps2 cannot hope to render super mario galaxy.
a wii is a bit in the middle in terms of system power,better than the last gen,but worser than ps3 and xbox360.
besides,nintendo is the only company who bothered to inovate for the future,unlike the others,who boosted the power,but the rest remains the same.
yeah its porobably like that because super smash bros.brawl had great graphics
@dragonite: Yeah, I know but the PS2 is the only 6th generation left which you should at least give it credit for that.
Now whaddya think the ESRB will be? I’m thinking E10+. They sure are taking a while to rate this game.
@Sonicdude48: PS2 is NOT more powerful than Wii. The Wii is said to be around the same power, if not more, than the original XBOX. The problem is that developers are too lazy to bring out the Wii’s full potential. Get your facts straight before you post something.
@Sonicdude48:
true,the ps2 nailed the perfect market balance of that time.
But I totally respect nintendo for actually inventing all the important stuf,like the d-pad and such.
Gamecube did’t bring a radically new concept in gaming,nor it was more powerful.
I personally liked it’s controller for being simple for young kids,and it games are great,but other than that,ps2 was the best.
But the wii is now shaping up to be the new ps2,while the ps3 is having problems.
The Wii is actually a more powerful Gamecube…and Gamecube is more powerful than the PS2. Therefore, the Wii is much more powerful than the PS2. Look at Madworld or Mario Galaxy…those graphics are pretty solid. And Sonic Unwiished will look better than the PS2 version. Either that, or they did some amazing tricks with the ol’ PS2.
The PS2 is a fantastic console, and it refuses to die. Even seven years after it’s initial release, producers are still making games for it!
@Sonicdude48: i also think it’s gonna be e10, unless they have chaos or MINI CHIPS!!!!!!!!!!!
@Crazee: wat about SSBB??? and Metroid prime, the legend of zelda twilight princess, all those have the best graphics, yet
, i hop SU changes that
mayb chip come from the center of the earth, like the beast eggman frees, so mayb there r a lot more so ther u have, CHIP GARDENS!!!!!!! lol
Whoa! I have found a guy who claims to have received a video text from one of his friends who managed to get their hands on the Sonic Unwiished demo before it went kaput!
He says it’s rubbish quality (as his friend’s phone is SO 8 years ago) but any video of the Wii version is a good video at the moment.
This is what he says:
“it looks like its of those levels in crete/greece,
generally the levels in a mediterannian settlement, it looks good, from what you can see”
I take it it’s the Mykonos Daytime level then, but Wii style.
He also says:
“its actually hard to tell how good it is, he recorded the staff doing some checks on it, someone had sent for them earlier, apparantly they didnt actually do anything… ”
Let’s hope they get that Wii demo up and running again before Leipzig finishes tomorrow! We need some gameplay videos/trailers!
I’ll do my best to get my hands on a copy of that video and if I do, you guys will be the first to know about it!
Wish me luck!
@Frog: Stop and crawl under….can’t you press a button to just slide over it? hm…
I get what you mean about the shadows completely. Somebody over at Sonic CulT said that there was no way they could do time progression in real time in the levels because having to render all of those everchanging shadows of everything would lag it like crazy or something to that extent.
Yo, screw Mini Chips, how about CHIP plushies?
@Chaos Blast: I know! The PS2 may not have as intense graphics as the Wii but I swear, it WILL outlive the 360 and I quote!
@Crazee: Let me tell you something. The PS2 kicks the Gamecube where it hurts! Now yeah, the Wii has good graphics but the PS2 has more fun game play and if you’d just come back from a long swim (or whatever) would you rather sit on the couch and relax playing a good, wholesome game of Sonic Heroes or would you rather come back and play the Wii and stick in Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games and have to get even more tired? Tell me. I think I proved my point.
@Sonicdude48: Sonic Heroes For the Win! It’s my favourite game [When Unleashed is released, That might change though.]
@Sonicdude48:
I rather play the best version of sonic heroes for the gamecube(least amount of slowdown),and sonic adventure 2:battle.
Which also run on the wii.
gc and ps2 gameplay are equal.
Wii gameplay is even better,but the current flood of casual games gives rise to problems.
Now what I wanted to say has been said,I am mostly against pitting consoles against each other.
Each one has advantages and disadvantages that make them all worthwhile.
the ps3 and x360 both have good visuals and rendering.
Sonic unleashed will be the best on those platforms.(I think)
The wii experiment with fresh new ways to play a game,you got to give poor nintendo credit for always inventing new things instead of going the easy route.
I heard that the 8th generation is already underway.
What will happen next?
One day visuals will reach a very high level,so diffirences between power are harder to spot.
When that time comes,new ways to control and interact will be the main way to improve.
Remember,30 years ago all games where a bunch of blocks.
And look now..
about 30 years,gaming will be totally diffirent…
How,I don’t know,but it will be stunning.
@Sonicdude:
No, the GC IS stronger. A lot of games released on different platforms didn’t show this, because the PS2 version was just ported over(it was the most popular after all). I own all three last gen systems, by the way. I’m more of a Sega/Nintendo guy because of the era I got into gaming, but all three systems have good games. The GameCube had more processing power, so did the XBox. This is a fact, like PS2 being more powerful than Dreamcast(despite some DC titles looking better than many early PS2 games). The PS2 continues to impress because, due to it’s popularity, people are still pushing the hardware wheras Microsoft and Nintendo have gone next-gen exclusive.
I praise Sony for still pushing the PS2, btw.
Right now, the only next gen system I own is the Wii. I plan to get a 360 after the price drop, and a PS3 whenever I get spare change down the road.
So nobody here knows that whole Fang the sniper rumor? its fake, unless thats what sega wants us to think!?!?!? fang is hired to kill the werehog and return the emrealds, but the events change, and fang is a couple of bosses! but is this a lie when a creator said, “who is he”? or is that an act? comon! mabye yes or no, who knows! Chip got in, who is next eh?
Console arguements bore me lol. I went on Gamepro’s site and saw the comments…people actually spend their time dissing systems and companies. I don’t get it. I did it when I was 10 and loved my Genesis lol, but I grew up. I still miss Sega systems, though…if only because Sega took more chances. They are improving with that game lineup this year, though.
Dang, PS2 or GameCube? ummmmmmmm
I’m a NINTENDO GUY, but i’d have to say, graphics-wise, that the ps2 is better.
The GameCube is definitely stronger, and has better games, but who even cares about that anymore?
@TheWaffleFactory: i think thats a DARN LIE HAHA
did he SPECIFICALLY SAY “FANG WONT BE IN THE GAME”?
NO!
plus if I worked for a SONIC company, i think i’d have to know ALL THE SONIC CHARACTERS! LOL
C,R,S! haha
@Crazee: I have a PS2 Slim and a Wii, and my brother has a PS3. We used to have a Mega Drive, we think, because one of the earliest video games we had was Sonic 1, and I remember a strange handheld with that Alex Kidd Miracle World on it and the whole family used to play it. We’ve also had every Nintendo handheld since the Gameboy Colour.
@Sonicdude48: Sonic Heroes shall live forever as the awkwardly-programmed game that still surprises me with its sheer brightness and great design. And if I get frustrated, no matter, because there’s the sound test to listen to! And, of course, E-123 Omega-san! (Listening to Japanese will make me do this a lot.)
@KC Cross: I suppose you are right, and Fang returning would be super ******* awsome! but no quark guns, but it seems like it makes a bit of sence in the story. i wonder if sonic and shadow will duke it out? or knuckles and tails? they r in the story line, and amy, what will she think to see this monster hog!!?!? but if fang was in it,id be pretty satisfied. LOL, fang in high next gen graphics, what will that be?
@TheWaffleFactory: the last time i saw fang was when he had 64 graphics, lol. but it would be nice to have it on the next gen, lol
i was reading the portuguese interview from gamestart, and i found out that there is an english translation to it,
the most important thing is:
It was said no one else characther would be playable in the game. Is that true? Or can we expect for others speed-based characthers like Shadow the Hedgehog or Blaze the Cat?
The main game focus will only be Sonic, as in his super-fast day-time form, as in his Werehog brutal-form. There are also small parts of the game which you’ll play as Tails piloting for Sonic route to other parts of the world and fighting enemies that attack them, but that’s all.
mayb there won’t be any more PLAYABLE characters
, which i found to be good.
here’s the link:
http://www.tssznews.com/2008/08/16/sonic-unleashed-to-feature-brazil-stage-tornado-possibly-returns/
@TheWaffleFactory: I am 99.999% sure Shadow will lay eyes on Were-Sonic, and CHARGE AFTER HIM.
It’s Shadow’s nature. He sees something that looks like it might be stronger than him, and will try to prove his title as ULTIMATE LIFE FORM.
Then Were-Sonic will…………………
FIRE HIS LAZAH! BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
haha
@someone: i dont mind if fang isnt playible, i just think he would add great to the storyline.
@TheWaffleFactory: when i posted that i was actually thinking ’bout knuckles, amy, shadow…
mayb they appear but they r not playable.
patrick riley also said there wouldn’t be any minigames, as long as the game is long then i’ll be happy
@Followedbyrocks:
Well for one part, Sonic seemed to get shot back on the grind rails.
mayb sonic boost only attracts rings while u r on the rails…
The Wii version will probably be pretty much the same as all the versions except with the controls. A lot of fans will be angry at the Wii if it didn’t and wasn’t fun at all. I am getting this game for the 360 myself since 99.99% of the people I know on Xbox Live are getting it (that like Sonic of course).
COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC ALERT: On another note, did anyone notice that in the manual of Sonic 06, on the 4th page, there is a picture of the menu screen and it shows Xbox Live for the 360…….and on page 7 they explain the maturity level and stuff for Sonic’s abilities…………sob.
Now I have to say this about Shadow: How many times has Shadow been predictable. Heroes: Was a neutral character and really wasn’t bad or good. Shadow: Well that game sure surprised us didn’t it? Sonic 06: He was… good? What the heck??? But here’s my theory: Shadow will want to pick a fight with Sonic (why? he’s Shadow duh) and then he’ll turn into Weresonic and then… uhhhhhhhhh. That’s why I don’t work for Sega. That and I’m not and adult.
Wow. I need to page these comments, this is getting just a bit difficult to manage — heh.
Sorry about a slow week at camp folks. It’s not that I’ve abandoned you, just busy. Hope you’ve been doing an OK job keeping up with things without the frequent updates. Quite a bit went on this week. By the looks of my inbox, you’ve done a pretty good job keeping an eye on things though.
@someone: I wouldn’t mind playing as shadow, he was pretty cool in 06.
infact he was AWESOME
but yeah main focus on sonic, i reckon at one point you will have to battle Shadow as the werehog
@David Leggett: Hey, im using my Wii, cause my computers dead, but i will be getting a new one, so all’s good. So, please exuse any typos. But i have a question. Did you completely decide to discard the fanart contest?
@TailstheHedgehog: And i agree.Shadow vs WereSonic would be epic.
@WiiFP: Nah, we didn’t discard it. We sent winners prizes. However, rather than close the fan art content, I have decided that we will simply continually give out prizes to contributors of Camp Sonic — mostly on a random basis.
@David Leggett: Oh, ok. Haha, i thought you were going to present the winners here on campsonic. Are you you going to have anymore contests? Before you said you had a bundle of cash set aside for more contests, or maybe you said prizes . . .
@WiiFP: We certainly will have more giveaways and contests. Hard to say what — or when.
Right now, I’m swamped with classes and work. Since I’m currently the only one writing for Camp Sonic, that means I have less time to organize such events (or posts).
One of the big things on the To-Do list is to add Chronicles to our agenda. It’s really shaping up nicely, and I think it’s time we expand our horizons a bit more. Perhaps we’ll give away a copy of that come it’s release
@David Leggett: Man, i was hoping it would stay just Unleashed. I could help you if you want, with CampSonic.
@David Leggett: WDF GIVE AWAY A VIDEO GAME GEEZ DAVID LEGGETT ARE U LIKE AN ANGEL OR WHAT HAHA
Just the JESTURE ITSELF makes you a GOD in MY EYES!
I CAN SEE DAVID LEGGETT WITH HIS OWN SHOW.
“THE LEGGETT EXPERIENCE!” The NEWEST TALK SHOW!
(After Tyra HAHA)
Don’t give up on your dreams! WE’RE ALL BEHIND U MAN!
(BTW Just so everyone knows, i don’t have a DS HAHA)
You might be giving away sonic chronicles….
i feel light headed
and you know..well…I HAVE A DS
I’l be looking out for any contests u decide to put up. Make it fanart i recently learnt how to draw sonic.
Well sort of
lol
oh and yeah on a random note everyone know that really old video of unleashed with sonic whistling the angel island tune and tossing around that ring. The japanese site for SU just put that up. No idea why their calling it new though. Hehe, i’ve got that site on favourites now cos i never get tired of endless possibilities.
Most awesome trailer ever created!
Are you going to work on forums for the site so that people can talk freely or are you occupied with something else David?
There are some cool screenshots on the Japanese site as well. They mostly show werehog gameplay which I think is going to be pretty cool.
@lxMetalSonicxl: People can talk freely in the comments. I still don’t see the absolute need for forums. I think the blog format is what helps this community thrive, and stick out from the rest. We’re one of a kind in the Sonic universe.
@WiiFP: You can apply on our Jobs page if you’re interested
We will have to stray from Unleashed eventually — even if we just talk about Sonic in general. Unleashed won’t be interesting to us forever.
Alright then, cool.
@David Leggett:I personally love this site and the way the comments work just the way it is. It’s easy and casual
There always be a new game for us to go on to, maybe once unleashed is out the way we can stray to Sonic and the Black Knight
Old and new pictures just released at the-magicbox. Some close-up pictures of the Were-Sonic boss. Click on my name for a link.
Thankyou!
They look like a mixture of Wii and Xbox 360/PS3 screens. Some are all fuzzy and some are crystal clear
That last one of sonic is fantastic!
nice that the pages are divided now,makes reading easy.
Cronicles coverage seems nice,since I am going to buy it.
Bioware can’t possibly screw this up.It is a complete spin-off.
On the forum subject…
I agree that you can cope without forums.
However,I am having trouble to talk about something specific in a news update…
Perhaps you can make a discussion update to talk about all the gameplay we’ve seen?
The comments don’t keep a cookie of your name and e-mail anymore..
Can you fix that david?
I have a DS and I hope I get Sonic Chronicles but currently my DS is having bugs. I think I’ll have to send to Nintendo unless I want parts of the game looking completely screwed up. It’s probably ’cause I’ve accidentally dropped it 3 times in about a month a while back. In the mean time play Sonic Spinball on my PS2 is fine.
GUYS RED ALERT!!! SONIC UNLEASHED HAS A NEW PROFILE ON FACEBOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SONIC UNLEASHED NEW PROFILE ON FACEBOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!
i reapet SONIC UNLEASHED ON FACEBOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@bold mikester:
Linkage please?
david, u should fix the cookie part, but that not that important since it appears on the dropdown menu,
, ’bout Sonic chronicles, i think u should divide campsonic according to platforms, like wii, DS, ps3, ps2, etc. so that everyone goes where they wanna go.for example i have no DS, so sonic chronicles is out of my list, we should try not focusin on just one game, but like one game per platform, perhaps… and i think we function ok with just comments, ppl can write whatever they want here, so forums is not a big deal, 
@MK Skillz:
I found the link to Sonic Unleashed Facebook:
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=12995487330&refurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fs.php%3Fq%3Dsonic%2Bunleashed%26init%3Dq
Who won the Camp Sonic contest? Will someone please tell me I’ve been waiting for weeks now
Wow, the comments have pages assigned them to them and we’re…at.
SEVENTEEN?
*faints*
Yeah, yeah, Facebook. Very nice, but I’d love to see a Myspace for it…its still the biggest social networking site, even if some people consider it to be worse.
Who DOESN’T want Sonic in their Top 8? XD
Need more news… can’t survive…….
@Hedgewulf: what contest?
http://www.campsonic.com/2008/07/02/fan-art-submissions-for-camp-sonics-giveaway
this one
@bill: While this is not certain proof of an Antarctica level, it is looking good. If you go to Cheatplanet.com, and search Sonic Unleashed, by the PS2 Version, the picture is Sonic running in snow. Also, like a week ago, on wikipedia, under levels it said that antarctica was one. Plus, if the Earth is split in seven. I would imagine that there is at least one level on each continent. (there are nine levels, we only know like 5 or 6, this is possible.
@bionicpoke: That’s not snow… it’s still just Mykonos. The logo on the side with the puffy white background does make it look like he’s kicking up snow though.
So far the levels are Mykonos, Europe, China, Jungle/Sand one, and now maybe an antartica one (theres usually one snowy level). Also i would like to say that considering theres 18 levels, (9 day and 9 night), each one being 5-10 minutes, i think this games gunna kick a**!
The Facebook groups aren’t new and they’re fan run.
Are you guys talking about
THIS LEVEL?
I thought it was africa but there is snow.
maybe there IS a snow level.
i need to re-make my chart HAHA
Hi im new here! NICE JOB CAMP SONIC!!!
Hey guys about this afternoonish Level pic… I say its Greece! (Windmills! Also im using my WII MY 1st TIME ITS SO COOL!) um sorry! Oh and im changing my name!
@THETRUESONICFAN: good that yur changing yur name cuz
IM THE TRUE SONIK FAN HAHA
SONIC OWNZ SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ftw
OH!!! I`VE NEVER CHATED WITH GUYS LIKE YOU! You are all TRUE SONIC FANS! By the way i think Fang`s in it go onto the userslinks and cheak! I ALSO THINK that the SU demo is OCTOBER! OH im Sorry i have SO MENY QUESTIONS!!!
I hope this game has fun levels so that I will keep playing it over and over again. Who else loves to play the first and last levels of a Sonic game a lot more than the rest of the levels?
OMG! HI THETRUESONICFAN! Somebody anserd me! ask me Anything bout Unleashed and i`ll try and anser it! (note it`s on my wii so i have to type it all in again & again!)
Strangely, the Sambe de Amigo music fits in well and is on beat in the beginning.
Oh i LOVE to play on the frist stages! The best one i`ve played was on Sonic Heroes!
Yeah, Seaside Hill and Ocean Palace were great levels. I also loved the levels in Sonic 06 especially Wave Ocean and White Acropolis since it had a small remix of Gamma’s theme in Sonic Adventure.
Remember when Sonic goe`s into Space then get`s turn into a wolf later on? Well how can he change in space theres no moon or Sun… unless it just has to show you! Also when day comes again is his gloves back or what? if yes then UNREALISTIC! LOL!
Thanks MetalSonic person… Sorry i need to read your names! but in no offence or out hasn`t AUGEST been S”"” for Updates?
hey uh if im gettin anoyin or out then just say! then i`ll CALM DOWN…
some games didn’t have snow lvls, ie SA2B. but since there R 9 lvls and the world is split into 7… then there must be at least 2 lvls for each contineny, but i wonder wat the others r… JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH!!!!!!! o.O
@KC Cross: If you look at the trees in the back of that pic (where did you get that anyways?) they look like they have snow too, and yes there usually is a snowy level.
It kinda has but that’s okay since all the new stuff is revolving around screenshots. Sonic probably transformed into the Werehog since there isn’t that much light in space or something. It doesn’t matter since Sonic isn’t supposed to be realistic. Question: How do you reply to someone you want to talk to?
hey xlmetalsonicxl yeah the snow level on Sonic 06 CLASS THEME! oh buy the way im only online when my dad has his Internet hub on! (shame really. So if i can`t anser you`s i`ll still be lookin at CAMPSONIC till i can REPLY!) oh so good being new…
Someone probably just messed with the colors on the Africa level.
TO REPLY TO ME JUST SAY YOUR COMMENT WITH “BLUEBLUR” ON IT! sos for caps im hyped. so yep just put my name on and i`ll try to reply as fast as i can! (crummy wii pointer)
@BLUEBLUR:Alright then that’s cool.
@KC Cross: On the level list you say that you have references for all of the possible levels. Can you post them?
hi again! heh… do u know where it says POST A COMMENT do u ALWAYS HAVE TO ENTER “Camp Sonic” or what? Or am i doing somthing bad?
@bionicpoke: I don’t think KC is here at the moment.
@BLUEBLUR: No, I don’t think you do.
OH I LOVE WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW! Im actully sharing info and talking and stuff! BUT JUST REMEMBER “im only online when my Dads HUB is on!” Ok i said it… lol (anyone wanna say something to me? Before it goes off?)
oh thanks! bout the comment thing! in short i`ll call u “MS!” u know short for your name!
Hopefully tomorrow i`ll look at your names and peploe! OK!
Hey, xlmetalsonicxl it’s me, RoNmAn from Xbox Live or are u another person?
I reakon (for FANG fans!) i have some news! go on the user links now!
uh… im a new person thanks. if u were talking to me! oh anyone anser this “Does commenting on Camp Sonic COST? or is it free? just after what my mam said…
oh doe`s any one wanna be my freind? Cause trust me i LOVE SU as much as you guys do!
Don’t forget, NY is confirmed too.
Yeah, I thought that a stage for each continent made sense…
Europe (Greece, London)
South America (Brazil)
North America (New York)
Asia (China)
Africa (Africa…LOL)
Antartica (?)
Austrailia(?)
Even with Artic and Outback stages, you’d have 8 stages. There’s room for another “second” stage (like Europe having two levels). The best guesses for that would be a second Asian level(Japan, most likely) or a second North America level( San Franciso? Las Vegas? Chicago? Mexico? Texas ?). Assuming the theory is accurate, I would expect another NA level. Vegas sounds great, but Texas would fit a stereotype of the Sonic games.
This is also assuming that we really will have 9 worlds, and not more. You never know, right?
Hey MS! (metalSonic) not sure bout u but you seem to be a good buddy! (NOTE: SORRY IF THIS SOUNDED ***! IM NOT GOOD WITH WORDS!) -_-~
@lxMetalSonicxl: HEY
yeah sure ill post them one by one in a little bit ok?
And is it officially confirmed that each world is one day stage and one night stage? I remember David speculating on the possibility of more than two stages per world, but I can’t remember the source material. 18 stages plus town missions and a bonus level(Sonic cliche) isn’t too bad. But if we were to get four levels…well, it doesn’t tax the hardware too much to have two daytime acts and two nightime acts. It’s just a matter of different level design, not designing new enviornments. And 36 levels would be wonderful.
I guess it’s wait and see.
GOD I THINK I SHOULD SLOW DOWN! I`ve out commented you guys! heh heh yeah so does anybody think im a good freind? oh and um… dono your name but WHATS NY?
@lxMetalSonicxl: hey u want me to post the level confirmation thingys?
Alright guys I’m back. Yeah, I’m the same lxMetalSonicxl from Xbox Live if you were wondering. I’m trying to find more info on Sonic Unleashed to share with you guys.
There has been speculation on Tails flying you on the Tornado in Sonic Adventure type stages to get you to other places in the world seeing as the world is broken apart. They could add the overall stages for more stuff to do. NY=New York ^_^
@KC Cross: Nope, still Africa… just not completely rendered. All of the shapes in the picture are just the colors they were when they were constructed in the 3D modeling program; no light effects were used to alter their appearance yet.
@KC Cross: That would be cool, thanks.
@lxMetalSonicxl: Well theres confirmation on the whole tails thing (kinda)
but we’re pretty sure its true.
@lxMetalSonicxl: ok heres the Spanish Villa confirmation
How do you reply to a comment? I would appreciate if someone could tell me.
@lxMetalSonicxl: Here’s the Underground Railroad confirmation
(It says “underground mine” SRY EVERYONE HAHA)
@lxMetalSonicxl: And heres the Brazil confirmation
(translated by Google. lol)
@lxMetalSonicxl: o yeah
new york. lol
@lxMetalSonicxl: all u gotta do is click the arrow on the right of the comment you want to reply to.
@lxMetalSonicxl <<<like this.
@lxMetalSonicxl: just pres the gray arrow besides a comment, and tails on the tornado is confirmed by patrick riley. u r gonna use him to fly from one piece of earth to another. there is also NO ONLINE GAMEPLAY and NO CHARACTERS besides sonic tails weresonic (chip was kept a secret lol)
Okay
@KC Cross: @someone: Like this right?
@lxMetalSonicxl: yup, lol.
@KC Cross: do u have the complete images???????????????????
@someone: That would be nice so that we can read all the information.
Are the characters so far:
lol
Sonic/weresonic
Tails
Shadow
Eggman
Chip
Amy?
I’m gonna go look for info neway but if you know anything sharing is nice
@TailstheHedgehog: Knuckles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS NO USE!!
If only Metal Sonic could return.
@lxMetalSonicxl: Sheesh alright alright
So:
Sonic/Werehog
Tails
KNUCKLES>>>!!
Amy
SHadow
Chip
Eggman
I wish metal sonic would come back to. He and mephiles are the coolest baddies.
That scene at the beginning of last episode in 06 of mephiles with the purple emerald and he slowly turns to look at you before the scene fades out. That still gives me the eebie jeebies
@TailstheHedgehog: i agree with the first list of characters, except amy, lol
Well amy is confirmed according to wiki and somewhere else who’s name escapes me
She can be a little annoying but I think she’s ok for this game
A very old little conference on Sonic Unleashed at IGN. Nothing we don’t know about though but it shows some cool Sambe de Amigo footage as well.
Click on my name for a link. Amy is pretty cool since she demolishes everyone with the Pipo Pipo Hammer. I will lol if she says your not Sonic to the Werehog since it takes her a while to recognize Silver and Shadow.
Hey, guys. I’m taking the 48 outta my name for all new comments just ’cause.
So which will be better? Unleashed or Sonic Adventure 2? Oh yeah and I’m taking the website out of my name too because it’s too long to write every time. Sonic rocks!
Now I know this is my third in a row but this one is really good! Wouldn’t “Sonic the Hedgehog The Movie” just but awesome? Sonic the Hedgehog The Movie rated PG for Violence, Crude Humor, and Mild Language. LOL.
@Sonicdude48: Cool
Also look on the user submitted links at the “Story Leaked” part.
Interesting
@Sonicdude: Unleashed surely.
SA2 is seemingly longer but in unleashed the plot is original, the game faster and graphics superior.
Either way S’pose we’ll have to wait and see
gotta go now, see you lot
@Sonicdude: Sonic Unleashed will probably be better than Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure(which in my opinion the latter is superior to the former). We still have to wait and see though.
forget shadow. The only character I’m looking forward to seeing is Knuckles. He needs more love…and a new game just for him
@Wacka14: A lot of people in the fanbase like Shadow more than Knuckles so they had to include Shadow in or else they would get tons of hate mail on how Shadow wasn’t seen.

@KAMu:

here is a link to one of my pictures

@KAMu:
There’s a center of the Earth level!???
@sonic 06:
Best drawing of Chip I ever saw! Good job!
@KAMu: wlecome to campsonic, i’m someone!!! lol
@KAMu: Wow. Nice prediction(s). That seems like it would be a good setup. Although . . . this just struck me. How is Sonic going to get over Oceans? Ug, prepearing for school.
@WiiFP: Maybe with the Tornado 2? Or he could run on water but I am betting on the former.
Hey everyone, click on my name to check out an awesome Sonic comic which has a bonus Sonic Chronicles reference at the end.
@Sonication: thank you.
i have a few more sonic pictures.
do you want to see them?
@lxMetalSonicxl Hey, maybe that’ll be the minigames, transporting Sonic from place to place.
hehe ^w^ thanks for the welcome
emm
@WiiFP: Maybe with the Tornado 2? Or he could run on water but I am betting on the former.
yes, definitly sonic run on water
supposed sonic not swin in this game or no?
@lxMetalSonicxl:
Maybe there will be those sailing stages like in Sonic Rush Adventure
and also the tornado stages, because there is no water between some continents?
That’d make the gameplay really diverse and would be awesome!
@WiiFP: I’m pretty sure tails will fly him in the X tornado. That will give a nice break and interesting minigame for us to play.
Whats the tornado 2 everybody?
I wonder what Eggmans gonna be doing while sonic’s on his emerald hunt. Probably trying to stop him but we still lack information on WHY exactly he split the earth into 7 pieces in the first places.
Ick just read that story leaked on the user submitted links. That better not be true or I’ve just spoiled everything for myself.
IF YOU DONT LIKE SPOILERS DONT READ IT!
whew otherwise it was very juicy
who’s Fang?
wait I’ll go find out, back in a supersonic flash
Ok I just found info
A Wolf/Weasel hybrid . He’s a little corny. I could take him more seriously if sega made him a little more bulkier and darker.
Some of these WII screenshots (look how pretty they are) have different Ring Energy meter lengths, which means that you must be able to level it up or something.

@bionicpoke: your right but there not big differences. The bar may go down slower rather than lenghthening alot. But the pictures are small so you cant really compare
@TailstheHedgehog: I was able to click on them to make them bigger. Plus, if you compare one of the higher ones (where he is sidestepping to the right) compared to one lower down, one’s bar consists of 4 rectangles, whereas the other one consists of 6. So either you find items ( like the light shoes in SA2B, or Eggman’s defense upgrade), or you level it up like Secret Rings.
did anybody else notice that the whole HUD is diferent in the wii version?
the new video of sonic chronicles loks really awesome!
[...] posted a video of a full stage from Mykonos Greece in Sonic Unleashed — but through most of the coverage, it seemed like we were simply watching how effectively crowds [...]
Not sure if EVERYONE here knows but…HI im NEW HERE! and if anyone wants i could try to find stuff out!
I really freakin’ hate when people walk around infront of a TV screen while people are playing games, it’s like they think they are important or some **** like that. That pisses me off. Nice video though.
@TailstheHedgehog: The X Tornado was Sonic X’s replacement of the original Tornado and Tornado 2. The original Tornado was Sonic’s red and simple plane with missiles and machine guns. After it was destroyed from their battle with the EggCarrier, Tails went ahead and looked for a Chaos Emerald to power up a new plane. After capturing the red emerald and froggy Big comes and Tails loses Froggy but still has the emerald. So he goes to his workshop to build his new plane which is called the Tornado 2 which looks like the original yet is colored blue. He then flies to Red Mountain looking for Sonic and finds him. They then fly towards the Egg Carrier and attack it. Tails then shows a new feature of the plane in which he transforms the plane into a much faster form. With this they destroy the Egg Carrier’s main cannon and attempt to land on the ship realizing there is no landing gear. They crash and get out of the plane to find Amy who Eggman(Robotnik) captured and the reason they are there in the first place. Amy makes friends with Gamma and escapes. She finds Eggman and gets her bird friend taken. Eggman takes the Chaos Emerald and flies to Chaos leaving Gamma to dispose of Sonic. Amy stops the fight, the ship loses altitude, Tails flies off the ship with Amy and Gamma leaves too. Sonic finds chaos 4 who eats froggy and a chaos emerald to transform into chaos 6. Eggman then drops ice bomb robot things at you to hurt Sonic but Sonic uses them on Chaos to freeze it and destroy it. Knuckles arrives when Eggman runs and Sonic follows with Big and Froggy left behind. Chaos revived itself and Knuckles defeated it and took the emeralds. Big then takes the Tornado 2 and flies to his home in the Mystic Ruins. Later, Chaos knocks out Eggman and distracts Knuckles who gets knocked out as well. Chaos finds the Tornado 2 and takes the last emerald under Sonic and Tail’s noses and transforms into Perfect Chaos. You probably know the rest.
@BLUEBLUR: Wow Chip looks like a demon cake monster lol oh and ya i hate it when they walk in front of the screen to!
@lxMetalSonicxl: Thanks for that and i never played them (weeps in horror) but I’m guessing sonic goes super and destroys perfect chaos.
I have a faint memory of something like that on Sonic X

Yes! I’ve always wanted to have a game in which has this kind of stage clear result screen! I’ve always wanted to have one which the character(s) look(s) at the scores and reacts depending on which grade you’ve got! This has got to be the first game to include that!
What was that little red guy that Sonic celebrates with at the end of the stage??? Looks like a chao of some wierd kind.
The guy has 19 lives
Sonic Unleashed isn’t even out yet and they’ve made bloody hacks for it.
WOW!
@BLUEBLUR: Don’t you have a scanner, buruuburaa?
Ok, they SERIOUSLY need to give us the demo for this game now. Maybe it’ll come out next month…which is about ten days away…aw, man, I’ll be playing the demo non-stop until the game comes out and I get it for my birthday, which is two days after the game comes out. ^^
@James: yeah the demo is rumored to come out during TGS 08 if not we’ll definitely get one before released and oh since new info seems kinda dry this week check out tssznews.com they have a new Nintendo power scan for sonic unleashed on the wii reveals some controls and gameplay and 2 new screenshots

Wow, I like it, but you should try making another with people out of the way.
