It's alright if some like to replay a level multiple times and others don't. But I think the problem is that Heroes forced you to replay the level, whereas in other Sonic games you could choose whether to play through it again or not.
BTW, that red-glowing-possesed Shadow looks awesome. o.o
I haven't been following too closely, but is this the first time they've confirmed release on all three current consoles?
New allies, huh...
It's been announced already that it'd come out for all 3 current consoles a while ago...I think I even remember seeing a news item on the newsboard about that a while ago...
yup!...but i think that it's more recolored. the one in the trailers was uncolored.

XD! Well well, he's finally up on their site. this was supposed to be my last weekend looking up Shadow stuff until November(or whenever it comes out). Hopefully they'll have another Sonic game in the works at E3 to take my mind off of Shadow, because I want it to be a surprise. I'm not gonna do like I did with Heroes and find out everything in the game three months before I even play it.

No, it's a VERY different logo.

Some of us actually liked playing those levels over again...well except the pinball levels which confound me to no end and any level where I have to hear Charmy...
The problems was there were barely any differences between the levels when you played through it as a different team. Atleast in SA when you played a familiar stage with any character you were always at some different area of the stage, with all kinds of changes. To keep things fresh.
Wow, that's a slew of new info for about seven lines. 
At first I was a tad sceptical about this, I didn't go 'OMGROFLMYBBQ! SHADOHASAGUN!!!! OMG!!!!,' but I did find it a tad odd.
Understand that I am not a big Shadow fan (as I really don't even have a favorite Sonic character...), neither did I dislike him, but this game has gone beyond the awesome scale judging by these few trailers. O_o
It may not be pure Sonic, but geez, I wouldn't be suprised if this became my favorite Sonic game of all time! (over Sonic Adventure)
It's to be the fastest of all Sonic games, surely. (Basic Chaos Control looks uncontrollable, to be frank) It has many similiar (and some... well... wacky) vehicles used in past Sonic games. (Go-Karts, egg-mobiles, trains, etc.)
Using the environment to your liking was often used in Sonic games, from platforms to Ivo and Tails' little sticks of dynamite. (How conveniently placed they were)
Okay, I was really expecting this to be a spin-off, away from anyone in the Sonic cannon, but there's supposed to be a bunch of people in here.
Who do you think's gonna make the cut? Sonic? Ivo? Tails? RandomcharactersnoonehasseenfortenyearsliketheydidwithChaotixinHeroes?

Somebody pinch me, I'm dreaming!!
The first time I heard about this I was skeptical as well... As much as I fantasized Shadow wielding heavy munitions, stylized small-arms, or anything else involving destruction and explosions, this sounded "too good" to be true. After watching the trailer at the Sega website it's like a dream come true.
I almost feel violated with the sheer perfection this game gives off ( to me of course ). Oh, there is a God...!!
Maybe I'm just your average cookie-cutter fanatical Shadow fan... Can't say I don't love it though. Now if only he wore sunglasses... And pants.

Yes, baggy jeans, and holding up those jeans a black belt with a giant gold buckle, or a buckle in the shape of a skull and cross bones.... j/k
On the topic of clothing though, I hope they do not apply the aspect they did with SA power-ups by adding bracelets and what-not. Maybe this is the old-school fan boy speaking, but I prefer Sonic characters (aside from humans) to be wearing nothing more than gloves and shoes since they are animals after all.

An all-star cast of characters! All of your favorite characters from the Sonic series, as well as an interesting lineup of new allies and adversaries!
Think that means we're gonna see Mighty and Fang?
Mighty and Fang don't usually top most people's lists for "favourite characters from the Sonci series".
I actually loved the addition of bracelets/whatever to show the power-up. ^^ Amy's warrior feather is my favourite!
Well, to be honest, that's the first trailer I've seen for Shadow, and it doesn't actually give you any real information on the game. It's just Shadow running around blowing things up. You get more information in the text on the page than the trailer.
In SA2B, they said you could choose a side, but ultimatelly, the sides team up and the ending is the same.
I like the 'new allies' part. I wonder if we're going to see any of them in future Sonic Team games. I suppose if any new characters get a very good reaction, they might come back.
I wonder if this Shadow game means that there will be things like Rouge games and more Chaotix games.

Amy's feather did look cool, I'll give you that. I just didn't like Sonic's bracelets or Knuckles sunglasses and how Knuckles' gloves ended up being nearly twice their normal size with the gold and other stuff all over them. But it looks like I won't have to worry about that with Shadow, because it appears his weapons are only the fire arms and chaos powers.

You know you've played too much Sonic games when your MP3 player is filled with Sonic game songs >.<
Heck yes. I have 191 Sonic-related tracks on my Ipod. Granted one-third of that is the SA OST, but I love it when one comes on in the car and someone goes, "Is that Sonic?" And when I say "yes" they think it's awesome.
Sorry to drag it off topic, but I've been looking for SA, SA2 and SH Mp3 for ages now...

And to pull the thread back on topic, I'd like to know how a multiplayer would work, The only playable character is Shadow right? So will it just be two Shadow's racing through a level? Hmm...
I'd like to see them put some effort into the multiplayer though, because they certainly didn't in Heroes...
So will it just be two Shadow's racing through a level? Hmm...
That sounds plausible. There are a whole lot of Shadows in existence.
There's another Video Preview.
It shows two interesting things, one is Shadow riding on a Dragon like creature in a level that looks like Sky Chase from Sonic Adventure.
The second thing is that one of Shadow's weapons is in fact a Sword!
A dark crimson looking blade, so he has other weapons, not just guns.
I'll post up the site I got the video from soon.
We kinda.. knew that already. o.o
I think it was in the leaked video.
Hmm...
How about this:
The two sides are the two stories.
In the "Last" storymode, you find out that there are accually TWO Shadows, one is a Clone-Like-Robot one serving Dr. Eggman, the other is the Ultimate Life form, or something like that. There's a battle between the two. That works, doesn't it?
Also, as for multiplayer, you control one Shadow, while the other player controls the opposite Shadow?
EE
I expect that since all the other characters will be in the game (it says so) and that there will be new characters, there will be a choice out of them as who you can race as. I expect the twoplayer mode may well be something like SA2b's two-player mode.

Most likely. However, with the addition of guns, there is the possibility of a deathmatch mode for multiplayer. That could be fun.
For the last time, IT'S NOT A--
... wait, what? Okay, who are you and what've you done with our Harley? o.o
XD!
If it is a hoax, it's a bloody good one. The images in the trailer were a bit blurred.
I prefer to take rumours with a pinch of salt, ever since I started spreading them myself. Some people will believe anything.
I think you spoke too soon, Psx.
I think we might need a "It's not a hoax!" pic, just to go along with that image.
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.

*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:
www.nintendonow.com/index...cleid=2589
^^^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.
