Let's let Sgt. Hartman do the honors, eh?
Thanks for that pic, I was waiting for someone to post something like this. I just cracked up laughing when I saw this, very hilarious. XD
In other words, SH: you're winner!
This pic will never grow old.
Espio- That's not fair, I want a gun too!
Shadow- Here have this one.
Espio- Thanks.
In case you wondered this is just a Halo pc mod called Sonic Gulch.

Haha, that is frickin' awesome! XD

Mighty and Fang don't usually top most people's lists for "favourite characters from the Sonci series".
*shrug* Speak for yourself, but there's plenty of fans who'd rather see Mighty in a new game than have a game about Shadow at all, with or without guns.
So, how does one put up that "This Greatly Offends Me?" picture then?
I could make a better "It's a HOAX!!!" picture than that...
i see that all of you have taken a liking to that Shadow site at SEGA.com that i posted. good...very good.
...i didn't know that alot of you didn't see that 2nd trailer (a.k.a: the formally leaked one) and had not known of some of the info now shown on that site. but ppl do have lives so i guess you just weren't here when those were first announced.
anyway, make sure you guys look at the screenshots. most of them are old, but a few are new. plus there maybe some old ones there that you've never seen close up or in good quality (like the ones that were found in that NOM mag). all of the screens on that SEGA site are big, crisp n' clear.

Better than Sgt. Hartman? Pfft.
According to a news post at the GHZ, Shadow The Hedgehog is confirmed to feature time travel as a gameplay feature, as well as playable Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Dr. Eggman.
Oh.My.Gosh.
That's like.. the last thing I had expected to happen. O.o
Sonic, Tails and Knuckles playable (I had had some thoughts about Eggy already) and time travel! Which could mean... OMG!! TEH TIME STONES HAVE RETURNEHT!11!1!1!
*runs around waving arms like a freak*
Hmmm.... I wonder if that means you get to go back in time and witness Shadow's past which would be necessary if Shadow had amnesia.
yup, it's true. here's a link to Nintendo Now that GHZ posted:

^^^according to that article, the plot will be a bit more twisted than expected.
As long as there is a flux capacitor involved, I'm game. In order to time travel, Shadow will have to run at 88 mph.

Hahaha. Absolutely awesome.
G.U.N, aliens, time travel, possibility of playing as Sonic, Knuckles, Tails and Dr. Eggman as well, all in one game? It seems like a lot, but I'm definitely interested and wonder how it'll all pan out. Here's hoping it's a good game. 
If Shadow has the ability to travel back in time.. then won't the first thing he does be to save Maria from dying? Erm.. oh yeah, guess he'd need to remember her first.
Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Eggman as playable? Huh. Wouldn't be referring to the multiplayer there, would it? Maybe not, but I have to say I'm very surprised at this. I knew there'd be the option to team up with characters, but I didn't expect to be able to control them.
If Sonic and crew ARE playable, they had DANG well better make it different to play as when you use them, or it's Sonic Heroes all over again.
I would expect that Sonic's, Tails', etc.'s roles would be very small, considering the name of the game is "Shadow the Hedgehog," not "Shadow Adventure" or "Shadow Heroes." If it is anything more than multiplayer, it would probably be only a handful of stages, since you would want the focus to be on your title character.
Time travel...Sega has read my mind. I thought of this awhile back, when I first heard of the game. I wonder if the Time Stones will be incorporated though. They're only on the Little Planet and we know this game has the CEs(which were replaced by the Time Stones in Sonic CD). Besides could Chaos Control not take him back in time...possibly?
I am very afriad.
I think this might just turn out to be a jumbled mess. A very jumbled mess. Time travel in a plot can screw everything up unless it's done with care-- and do you really think it will be?
I'm still as afraid as I ever was, but I'm interested enough to pick it up when it ocmes out.
Have you played Timesplitters?
That is PROOF that time travel in a plot does NOT mean a bad jumbled mess (a very funny and amusing jumbled mess that is only paradoxical at the very end)...
Seen the 5 seconds of footage on the video...
Hm....

**imagines Eggy running through loops and spindashing into hapless animal friends, recoils in sheer horror**
I wouldn't put it past them, either.
Besides, he could wear the costume from that Sonic Jam thing.

Try that in a 3D game, and it's something worth a look at. We'd call it "Eggman Adventure", and you'd have a simple control set: move, jump, histerical laugh.
Time travel might not be too bad in a game like this, especially when it's limited by the game. But if it actually had no limit, I can imagine Shadow accidentally warping himself to Prison Island in the SA2 story just before it blows. Horrible way to get a Game Over...
In other news, Gamespot has finally put up a new trailer for Shadow the Hedgehog, for all your viewing pleasures.
I've yet to view it myself, though I plan to later and post my impressions.
**Future Shadow warps in front of past Shadow**
Past Shadow: Hey, you're me!
Future Shadow: I knew you'd say that.
There's no new trailer at Gamespot as of this typing. What one could call new footage of Shadow the Hedgehog lasts all of 2 seconds and is located at the trailer-end of the edited-down conference video.
Um... some people can't connect to this, but I can. "They call me evil. Bring on the Hero. I am what I am. What I am..... (I am) I am me." Yeah, and that scene at the end where Shadow rushes to stop an evil double of him self from killing Sonic seems to imply the different storylines are indeed linked.
Edit: Wrong link.
your link doesn't work for me, rob. the error message thinks that the server for the video is down.
It plays for me. A friend of mine has suggested the server is "bogged". Maybe you should wait for IGN or Gametrailers to put it up.

Hang on a second. We now have an evil double of someone who was already an evil double to begin with? God, I hate this game.
So don't buy it.
that link works!
hm, the tiny bit at the end with the battered looking sonic looked interesting, the animation looks like a big improvement to SH's cut scenes.
i just hope that the difference between them and the in-game sprites isn't going to be too jarring. (shiny SH sonic, shiny!)
but what's all this about fighting an evil twin? i didn't spot that in any of the trailers. *flicks back a few pages of the topic* oo
I like the rock music that kicks in. It reminds me of Open Your Heart from SA1.
i believe that's the theme song to this game.
I liked the look of the cut-scenes, even though Sonic and Shadow looked like they were made out of clay. Oh, and that alien weapon still looks silly.
I think I hear a new VA there for Shadow as well, and the chaos control and chaos blast look okay. Levels look similar to Sonic Heroes...lots of linearness and bottomless pits. But hopefully they can make it work. It's definetly looking better though.
"They call me evil. Bring on the Hero. I am what I am. What I am..... (I am) I am me."
I don't want to be that 'THOSE LYRICS ARE WROOOONG' poster, but the way I'm hearing it is more "Black hearted evil, brave hearted hero, I am all, I am more, I am blahblah"
Like the song, dig the cutscenes. I was hardly excited for this game in the beginning but for me it just keeps looking better the more I see. I want.
perhaps that's why they look so 3D, they're actually made out of clay? 
(glad to see that i'm not the only one who thinks that it looks that way.)

Agreed. In the beginning, I thought the idea for a game like this would turn out poorly, but I, too, see it to be getting better. Me want a copy!
I'm totally confused now. I didn't see an evil twin. <_<;
So don't buy it.
At this point, I don't think I'll even rent it.
i just hope that the difference between them and the in-game sprites isn't going to be too jarring.
They're not sprites, Goddammit!

Haven't played it. But as I said, it must be done with care in order to work. I'm doubtful that Sega will use such care, resulting in a jumbled mess.

Meh, that's kinda like what's going on in another forum I visit... some person's ripping the "sprites" from Sonic Rush when that's most assuredly a 3D model. Heck, it's not even like they're unaware that that's a model since I explicitly TOLD them it was, and they're STILL ripping them like sprites... T_T

There's what looks like another Shadow w/ gun directly behind Sonic, standing over him. It's not enough, I believe, to consider it "another" Shadow since that scene and the one immediately following may not be in chronological order. However, since we ARE dealing with time travel here I'd consider leaving ourselves open to the possibility.
Altered timelines can produce any number of unseen changes, Shadow hopping into a future where he's psycho and on the verge of eliminating Sonic for good is certainly plausible, now more than ever due to this game's underline theme.
Err...whoa. I know i'm probably the only one, but man this game seems like a dream to me. The Chaos Control Element looks insane and that Chaos Blast, no doubt. I was supposed to stop looking up this game once E3 started, but I just can't help it. And yes they do resemble clay, very much so...but it isn't too bad. The levels do look like Heroes kinda and thats good, because with one character that should leave a bunch of exploration. I'm not as hyped as I was about Heroes at E3 '03(which is good I think) because I know this game has a 50% chance of not living up to my expectations. Oh well.
It's true that the models look like clay but when you think about it, Sonic has always looked shiny and smooth and never really shown as furry except in comics and cartoons. even in the art made when the old games were released. Besides going to the trouble of making him furry in cutscenes and then reverting back to the super shiny in game graphics.
The trailer makes me want the game more, and it also makes me cringe at the BLATANT use of the Sonic Heroes engine, not even changing the springs which only really worked for the Power Formation team.
Rails = x.x
Theme Song = ...I'm torn between thinking of Shadow pulling a Slim Shady and singing "I am whatever you say I am!", or doing a Popeye and singing "I am what I am what I am what I am hukchugchugchugchugchug"
Shadow Popeye ^_^ That makes me smile.
