[HSW edit]
This is NOT a hoax.
[/HSW edit]
Please commence head-banging. Whether it's for joy or against your keyboard is not of my concern; I'm still downloadin' to see for myself.
ED: Okay, it's pretty much official: Shadow IS getting his own game. The bad news is, it looks pretty uninspired, and even like it won't flow very well. Can't say as that's ever stopped Sonic Team from trying new things, though.
But yeah. You play as Shadow. With a gun. And still have to move fastly down the linear levels. How well this will work out remains to be seen, but my hopes aren't terribly high. This is just a bit too... generic for me...
Oh well, at least they're giving him his own spin-off. No more of him tainting (if you feel that strongly) the main games.
| Spoilers (Select To Read) It's Sonic Adventure meets Tomb Raider |
It's very interesting game. I can't make a final judgement of this game. I still like to see what will Sega make of this hedgie.
| Spoilers (Select To Read) Besides, if it weren't for the gun, it would be more of a Sonic Adventure without the other guys. Perhaps this is the game that was being made for two years? |
WHAT. THE. HELL.
...
Hey, Cyke. You got your wish. I hope you're proud of yourself. 
And what's this? Publicly acknowledging the existence of both Sonic CD and Sonic The Fighters? Odd...
It looks generic because we've seen it before. The whole thing smacks of SA2 hack, except... the video actually looks decent.
I really don't know what to think.
*mauls her currently slow connection. sits and awaits it to speed up, or for screenshots to appear mystically out of the blue!*
is this the result from that poll they put up recently, or was it in the making anyway? a non-robotic character (or character in a machine) with a gun seems very different from the usual sonic game.
but it's too early for an april fools prank. >>;
Yeah, it is.
You know, this might be the first time they announce a new Sonic game and I'm NOT thrilled. Even Heroes had me giddy. This just doesn't.
*goes back to eyeing HL2*
EDIT: Looking through it again. I see GUN's back thanks to some (updated) logos on the boxes, and there appear to be organic-looking enemies resembling Chaos 0. That and the video insinuates that you actually get to choose whether Shadow's a "Hero or Villain", adding to that two close up FMV shots of a stoic Shadow and an angry Shadow (see above). And then the Heroes Shadow?
This, for better or worse, is going to be the one that clears up the Project Shadow mystery once and for all.
Or so we hope.
*a marvel has happened! screenshots have appeared before her very eyes!*
shadow is left handed? oo his body seems slightly out of it's usual proportion in the first screenshot, although that could just be me being sleepy here.
Edit: will it fill in some plotholes, or will it add some more to the series? i guess we can only wait and hope.
Oops! Looks like I goofed. I had no idea there was something about this already up. Oh well. Thanks for correcting me..
Well anyways, why does shadow have a gun? I never would have thought he'd need one. And I guess negative feelings have already begun to swell. Its sad that no one can expect good things from Sega anymore. At least things having to do with Sonic and Co.
A gun? What happened to the energy blasts from Sonic Battle?
I don't know.. I don't feel too good about this game. I really wasn't expecting this.
Is that the game Sonic Team was working on for the last years? I really hope not...
Well, alright. I know I'm judging this game by only the trailer. But for the first time, I don't feel too hyped about a Sonic game.

Shadow has gone Grand Theft Auto? But yes! What about energy blasts and things. Surely they must be in here. Maybe they just aren't done with it yet. There is so much I would like to see. Like the 3D hub-like areas in Sonic Adventure. I liked those. Or even a fast moving hedgehog...I'd like that too.
Tee Hee. The gun looks about half his size. And I saw a video on Gamespot.. the game looks fast. It should be fast without that annoying character switch thing.
It'll be fast if Shadow can shoot that gun AND run all at once. Which doesn't look like the case.
It could work if the gun was optional; like, if you use it right, it could unlock alternate paths, but you don't have to unload a single bullet to actually beat the game; it just makes life easier.
Somehow I doubt that'll be the case, either.
Well I know hopes are low, but maybe its too early to tell? Conker's Bad Fur Day was going to be rated "E" before Rare decided to be "different".In a way its saved Conker from being forgotten like many other characters like him. Who knows. Maybe Sonic Team will pull something unexpected and save themselves.
Don't kid yourself, you're not getting anything other than an M, buddy.
Glides like Super Sonic in this section.
Wall jump.
"Hmmmm..."
"Rargh!"
Elaborate design or backwards 3?
"DAMMIT, NOT THIS **** AGAIN."
Anybody find it funny how Sonic the Fighters was mentioned, yet Sega almost never does that? Not to mention it contradicts Sonic Heroes, as Espio is there in Sonic the Fighters, yet he was remade for Heroes along with Vector and Charmy.
I call BS until there's more, or until the first of April is past. Never too late to start a prank.
There's too many screenshots for it just to be a prank, and IGN and Gamespy's reputations would be pretty damn low for putting up something false.
*Sigh* I'm okay with this, to be honest. I like Shadow. I'm not too thrilled about the gun though, makes him seem too... eh.
It's got potential. XP;
Not to mention the gun looks very bland. They could at least give him a fancier looking one! nn
This is it...
The apocalypse is upon us. Wake me up when its over.
Shadow with a gun? Oooookaaayyy...didn't see that one coming...in fact I didn't even see this game coming. Is this just another step for Shadow in becoming the ultimate angsty furry...Dante? All he needs now is a transformation into a cool looking...er never mind...wait! He needs a sword!
If this is real...boy oh boy...
On a lighter note...Psx's avatar and sig rock...
More opinions of mine on this later!
Oh my god. Disproportioned cartoon furries with guns. Presumably they'll be expecting us to aim the thing while wrestling with their piss-poor camera and control scheme. I haven't seen something this lame in a loooooooooong time.
Hey, Cyke. You got your wish. I hope you're proud of yourself.
If I really did wish for this, I beg you to kill me. Honestly, I don't remember ever wanting something of this nature.
EDIT: Oh, wait, yeah, I have a vague recollection. But the idea kind of required the game to not suck.
I agree, the whole gun thing seems too...well...stupid. With this SA style gameplay, it doesn't seem like you need the gun. When I heard about this, first I was like 'EH?' and then I was like 'At least have him use two small pistels or something, like Neo. But the huge gun gives me a headache. I hope they change that.
But yeah, why not the energy blasts? Yeah, I see him use that energy burst thing in the trailer, but why can't he rely on the energy blasts? Guns? What, are they trying to spoff Conker?
Okay, so I can't blame them for trying something new. If they would make it like a Sonic game, it maybe too boring. Even if you give Shadow new moves that Sonic doesn't have, it'll still feel like you're playing Sonic. If they want Shadow to use guns, they better make them VERY useful, like one reviewer said, open new passages, or damage robots in spots you can't reach, or devolop a gameplay in one area where the gun is a must, and most of all, REDESIGN THE DAMN GUN!! The huge one is giving me a headache! Give him small pistols or something!
This game may have potential, if Sega watches how they make this game. I really hope this won't be a flop.
What? Where's my Knuckles Ultimate Pub Games Compendium game?
On a more serious note, I think we can officially certify that Sonic Team are only a limp and dying husk of their former self.
The bit at the beginning of that video was pretty cool though, and really highlighted how far ST have fallen.
Oh, from what I seen in the trailer, yes he can shoot WHILE run. Gotta give them points for that. I hope they use that to their advantage and expand that. If they do, maybe the game will be sucessful.
Does any one know how to write to them, about this game?
Oh. My. Lord. The end of the world is nigh... Someone, please shoot me. I cannot bear the thought of there being a solo Shadow game... WHY COULDN'T HE HAVE JUST DIED!? .____. I mean, really. What's so bad about having a character actually DIE and stay DEAD? My brain will explode, if this abomination is an actual game, and not a sick hoax.
Feh... Sonic Heroes and Sonic Battle weren't enough for him so he had to off and have his own game... with a friggin AK-47 ....or something...
Really... to me this seems like an elaborate hoax. Maybe it was intended for April fools but got leaked unintentionally early. This goes against everything Sega has stood up for with Sonic. It makes no sense to turn their back now and up it to a very probable T rating.
It's gotta be a hoax.....
with a friggin AK-47
Dude... an AK47 is an automatic rifle. As in something you hold with two hands? Geez, I thought that was common knowledge among the gaming community. Maybe I play too much CS.
