Looking back at the last couple of 3D Sonic games and seeing a mature orientated gimmick that smells alot like Warrior Within. I think people have a right to not expect much from this game.

I cannot download the movie link. Are there any mirrors?
From the screenshots, this game does not look THAT bad. It looks interesting, as long as Shadow keeps his speed.
*Saw the trailer. No mention of Sonic or Knuckles.*

So it's only for the GC? Lame...
I see Shadow packs a Tommy gun too. Maybe he'll hijack vehicles and have to pick up willing female hedgehogs for health too.
Of course, he'd have to kill them to get his hard-earned rings back.

It's definitely on GC. PS2 is a good candidate too. Xbox looks very unlikely due to Sonic Heroes sales, and the system not being around come Christmas 2005 or later (if it's a GC timed exclusive). It could get the Rayman 2 vDC treatment for the Xbox 360 though.

Despite the...sigh...gun, I thoughtthe most disappointing thing about the video was how slow it seemed. Even at it's fastest it didn't look that fast. It's been a while since I played the Sonic Heroes demo, but I swear it was faster than anything we saw there.

Guns are guns. Hooker beating is hooker beating. Every game with guns doesn't contain hooker beating. What do you mean?Mike Works said:
How is it a retarded decision. Little judgemental given only a trailer has been shown don't you think?Mike Works said:
How does it hurt a franchise? You might notice that this is not a Sonic game. It's a spin-off using a character from the series. They might make Cream The Rabbit Count 'em Up for children. Would that hurt the image of the true Sonic games? Seriously Mike, you need to take a deep breath. They've taken a formula and added to it, rebranded it and avoided risking the true Sonic brand, a wide decision IMO.Mike Works said:
I actually like the idea of this for one reason. it's a game designed around a single character!. That means it will probably be more coherent. All the levels should be built around the ability's of that character so they should be similair and have similair kinds of challenges. in other words it's likley that it will be a super fast rollercoaster ride.
Also it's not a sonic game, it's a shadow game. but irregardless of that, the sonic series was always the cool/edgy alternative to mario. A violent angstyt game set in the sonic universe is a perfect fit. i don't see the problem at all.
the trailer actually got me kind of hyped up, even though you can't really tell much about the game . It seems like it could be subversively humorous.

I won't form an opinion until I've played the game.
I don't mind the Shadow character getting his own game. I don't mind the fact that it looks like a modified version of Sonic Heroes. I don't mind the mutants, the angst, the gothic nature of the game. I don't even mind that Shadow uses a firearm.
What I DO mind, is that they chose to give the character the most realistic firearm possible. That's just great. Why not give Mickey Mouse and Super Mario an 8mm handgun while you're at it.
I'm gonna show mommy I'm jus' like Sonic the Hedgehog!

Wasn't it just a few weeks ago that there was news of a new Gamecube-exclusive Sonic game? And now this is for all platforms?
And am I the only one who thinks the character models from SA2 look better than these (and Heroes)? They had a nice plush doll look in SA2, but since Sonic Heroes they've looked like they were made of shiny plastic.

That's AWFUL i was wondering about the choice of A VERY REALISTIC GUN in a fairly cartoony world and thinking, this HAS to be a joke. Then that highrez render came up
:lol
WHAt IS WITH THE REALISTIC GUN. MICHAEL MOORE AND ANTI-VIOLENCE ADVOCATES ARE GOING TO HAVE A FIELD DAY WITH THIS.
and oh, DMC lite (but with no cool swordplay)
Sega, meet new low.

Exactly right. Didn't Sonic Team arrive at the idea for Burning Rangers after seeing too many gun/killing games?

Naka never said it would be GC exclusive, just that there would be a Sonic game on Gamecube this year.

I'm so excited. About time Shadow got his starring role
Would it really be that hard for them to make a game just like the Sonic part in Sonic Adventure 1 (just a little longer)? You know, 10 solid levels with a cute little overworld to tie it all together? Is that too much to ask?
I don't see how anyone can defend this. As others have said, it would be different if Shadow could shoot fireballs from his hands or something but isntead he's holding a freaking pistol (realistic to boot) that is half as big as he is. It really does look like a really bad photoshop job.
Remember the "videogame characters fighting in Iraq" (or whatever it was called) thread? It's like Sega ripped the idea for this game straight from there.

PS2 version wasn't so hot, but it was still above Sonic Adventure 1 on DC. The framerate in SH PS2 was 30 fps (US version) and it featured all of the animation and geometry detail of the original version. The textures were downgraded, though, but they were still decent. I'm not saying the port was actually good (Sonic Team clearly does not know the PS2), but it wasn't THAT bad.
SA1 on the DC was an absolute mess, though. Tons of slowdown, horrible animation, truck loads of loading, and glitches galore. It looked and moved like ass and hasn't held up in the least.
