Sorry it's so big. It's from today's Metreon event in San Francisco. Hopefully this isn't old, I want to make a good first impression

Anyway, from what I can see so far... Well..... It's all Shadow, no Sonic. And he has a gun now. o_O  

[KnowsNothing]

I'm really glad to see that the last hope of a great 3D Sonic game died with the announcement of a game that didn't even feature Sonic

It's like Sonic Adventure 2 + total balls....oh, but I repeat myself.  It's like total balls meets ASS am i rite?  

[NotSoStu]

I agree. I mean, come on now, Sega. Sonic is better than Shadow by a long shot. But now not only does he have uber super powers and rocket shoes, he has a gun?

Sonic is about speed and melee fighting, not long-range gun crap.

[Hostile Creation]

I was opposed to Shadow originally, from the very start.  This will suck, even more than the past three Sonic games have.  Sonic Team, you disgust me.

I look on the bright side, though.  At least it doesn't star Cream the rabbit. *shudders*

[MaleficentOgre]

I have NO hope for this game.

[Deguello]

This is absolutely the worst possible thing Sega could have announced in its entire history.

[KDR_11k]

The sad thing is this'll sell anyway in Europe.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

This paves the way for Shadow + Fresh Prince of Persia collaborations.

I am quite surprised by all this. Im only slightly angry that shadow has a gun, because as far as the older titles go, he doesn't need one and its just so unnatural. But what im really concerned about are the Heroes graphics, Shadow Model, and physics. The homing attacks show Shadow bounce upward off of an enemy like heroes instead of just going through them in a nice quick line like SA2. He seems to have the heroes running animation where his feet don't seem to be moving as fast as they should, and with no fire coming from his shoes. The wall jumping looks a little cooler in that close up shot, but I imagine its just as crummy as the heroes version of it.

But that Super Sonic flying looks pretty cool and fast. I just hope this game will allow you to keep moving like SA2, and just keep connecting tricks and attacks. That float shooting is alright and looks like it can work its way into the non stop action.  And there needs to be a proper spindash in this game.

One more thing, if you all remember from SA to SA2, running through loops and certain obsticles became more smoother and natural looking. In SH it was choppy and awful looking, I hope this game will improve on that and make it look like hes running at the speed hes running at without ugly choppy crap.

In one article about the walk of game at IGN they said something like "amazing new visuals" or something. I hope they saw something cool and we saw a super early ugly version. But I Think its the same one.

Ahahahaha!  To think I actually thought Sega would make a good decision for once...But NO...

Obviously Sega is just using a modified "Heroes" engine to keep development costs down. Just think of the money they're saving by not making this game not suck.

BIG THE CAT

[Mr. Segali]

Well, Sonic is totally ruined for me now...

[mjbd]

Wow, maybe I am the only one who thinks this game looks promissing.  From the video it looks like it could be a fast pasted action game.  Shadow's not Sonic, so using a gat to whack enemies should be out the of question.  The Sonic team hasnt done to much to impress lately, but hopefully this game turns out to be better than most expect.  

[Don'tHate742]

Well that could be possible because everyone expects it to crash, burn and die in many horrible, horrible ways.

[nickmitch]

This is just like the looneytoons crap.
Sega, Sega, Sega.
Sonic team needs to take a vaction and then make a game that's half worth playing.

[TMW]

Sonic Team needs to be disbanded.  I think they are past they're heyday...

That movie saddens me.  I must go play some Sonic 2 to get this bad taste out of my mouth.  

[nemo_83]

I was thinking Shadow would have some kind of guns that would fit the series, instead he has machine guns.  I was thinking some kind of buble looking gloves with white barrels coming out of them.  I can't believe they are doing this.  I would have figured they would have done some kind of violent buzz saw type power up for Sonic before they would give him realisticly modeled guns.
