Someone just fill me in real quick,

This game will have Sonic as fully-controllable, correct? None of that Sonic & The Secret Rings crap?

I've been seeing this all over! The answer should be obvious to every one! NO!

Come on! You're using a complex network called the internet: a place where you can find thousands of updates to anything in the form of videos, audio, and not just plain writing in an article!

Did you really have to ask that question? With people like you using the internet, you should know the answer by now!

P.S. Sorry if I was rude. I know that not everyone has a fast internet or access to videos and sites that can inform you on something in particular, nut I just had to say this!

Wait...actually I thought it was said that it was going to be free roaming...no that was Black Knight wasn't it? Oh well.

Okay, so I am going to be honest...
When I first heard of Sonic becoming a "werehog" I litterally lol'ed. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like where they are going with this and all. It's different...it just sort of caught me off guard.
Can we really have high hopes for this game?
The game is alread getting slammed because of it's similarity to Twilight Princess. And if we think about it: Is the whole conspet of the werehog really something we can see affiliated with Sonic without making it seem a little silly?
The gameplay: Is the ganeplay as a warehog going to take away from te original feel of a Sonic game?
Once again, I somewhat like the idea; I'm just afraid it will do more damage than anything. -_-;
I am so tired of the new games comming out falling into a less than satisfactory category. Sonic deserves SO much more than that and yet....
Example:
Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) = Wonderful graphics, didn't like the story so much, HATED Elise....
Also, what's up with all the new hedgehog's and looking like Shadow???? Where did the originality go???

Honestly, they could have made a better movie out of that storyline, not a game.

Ugh, I'm sorry, I don't want to make this into a heavy critique on the Sonic Team and their work....
Tis just I love our little Blue Blurr and I want his reputation to keep goin strong. xD

(Growing up with Sonic has made me a Sonic Freak so please forgive me if I seem WAAYYY to excited about this whole thing. *shot*)

Hahahah no no your excitement is necessary. Sonic has fallen...a long ways. The series is something of a joke now. =/ I agree with you Angelgirl!

I'm sure you could slow Sonic down to a stop if you want to as Unleashed will work more like a 2D game, but with 3D elements. The 3D sections are linear paths, but are short. The game will also feature multiple routes as well.

You can judge more here
Gameplay videos if you haven't seen them yet-

And my previous comment was more along the lines of sarcasm. =(

Yaayy! Glad to know someone does. ^^ *hugglomps*

But in all seriousness;
Yeah, it has sadly lowered my expectations. There is so much that could have been better. Don't even get me started on the voice actors. x__X; lol

Just FYI, for Beardo and everyone else that are uncertain. I have being stalking this board for a while as I can get links I wouldn't otherwise (I am now a fan of Zero Punctuation so while somewhat off topic, danke) but I thought that I would sign up and help clear this up.

No, Sonic is not on rails and is not automatically running forward. Watch the third gameplay video over at Gamespot.

http://www.gamespot.com/video/945571/6195178/sonic-unleashed-e3-2008-gameplay-movie-3

You can clearly see Sonic stop and stand still, walk in circles, all that. Sonic is freeplaying. As is Were-Sonic. As is Sonic in the Overworld.

That story aside, an new character for Sonic Unleashed was revealed.
The administrator of Sonic Channel blog, Ms. Moro mentioned that "Dengeki Nintendo DS serializes Sonic Unleashed comic now, and an new character for the game appears in this issue."

So I've got that magazine and read the comic.
This is the new character Tip (or Chip. Japanese spelling is チップ)

He seems to lose his memory in the comic, so Sonic seems to help him to take back it.
Sonic says "There might be someone who knows you, anyway, we need some informations about the shrine." and they head to that town - the white clay buildings town.

Umm...we need to wait more information.

And the color isn't accurate. Because the comic is drawn in monochrome.

SAUCE

All there is for now is this fan pic. manaita is a reliable source though, this isn't the first time she puts up something that has yet to be officially confirmed.
Looks a bit like a Chihuahua to me.

I wonder if the Tip the Chihuahua looking thing is the guardian of the shrine that Sonic is supposed to take the emerald to?
As for Tip losing his memory that could be a manga only thing. Adaptation of video games mangas,like Zelda's Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, had some story elements that don't appear in the game.

So...SOnic Finally gets a serialized manga in japan & its based of a decently good game idea, but there gonna mess it up with some stupid little chihuhua.......Man I bet Archie & Fleetway are pissed. LOL I thought sega only wanted to ruin the games, not the comics LOL ( Man now I really hope Archie does a good adaption for unleahsed so they can shove it in these guys faces LOL!)

The manga scans are out along with new screen of the Wii version of Unleashed.
Looks like Tip/Chip can fly and like to eat a lot.

A couple of things:

1. It's highly unlikely it'll come out over here anyway, as the US already has a comic (Brought to you by Archie Comics)

2. If you do have a problem with it, then don't read it. If you want to talk about the comic books, head to the appropriate forum.

3. . Try fixing your post a bit for more readability. I can read what is written there, but there are way too many exclamation points and periods, not to mention a few typos. Excuse me for nitpicking. :/

Sonic Unleashed will finally be playable to the public at the Games Convention 2008 in Leipzig, Germany next week.

Sonic will also be taking the trip to Leipzig and presenting himself to the public in two games. Along with his role-playing game premiere Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, developed exclusively for the DS by BioWare, the cool hedgehog will play up his strengths in Sonic Unleashed. Visitors to the Games Convention will get to experience the new and, in many areas, heavily improved gameplay for themselves. With the Olympic Games in mind, the SEGA booth will also showcase the athletic field - along with Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, Beijing 2008 will also be waiting for medal-worthy video game athletes. The booth will be rounded out with Dinosaur King, the game to the new TV series, and Space Siege - another thrilling PC adventure from cult designer Chris Taylor.

Well not really. Since whole thing is based on Jekyll and Hyde dual personality thing you see on the media a lot. The Hulk, Jak, Vincent Valentine, Naruto and the Prince as you just said are example of this.

That is giving sega too much credit to think that they got it from classic literature.

A translation of a brazilian interview reveal that Tails is playable by a Tornado stage.

Also there will a Brazil Stage and no co-op mode.

I thought it was confirmed a while ago that there would be character based side games. I seem to remember Tails + Tornado + Sky Chase sort of thing a while ago as well.

But you used Colbert. So its ok.

QUOTE:


- Sonic and his werehog self will be the only playable character. You can also unlock a Super Form for both variations of Sonic.

- Eggman is the main villain from start to finish. In a twist, though, he's not totally in control towards the end, but then turns the tables. Unlike other games, where he loses control of the situation at the last moment.

- Tails will pilot the original Tornado for Sonic. One of the funnier scenes involves Sonic turning into a werehog on the Tornado.

- The following characters will definitely not appear in any form - Silver, Eggman Nega, Cream, Big and Omega.

- Team Chaotix will make a cameo, and have a semi-important yet quick role.

- The being that Eggman unleashed from the center of the earth is connected to the Chaos Emeralds. It's called Dark Gaia. It has a unique Super Form.

- There is a new character and a returning character... The new character is a cute yet mysterious helper named that seems to have a relationship with Dark Gaia. The returning character is Fang the Sniper, and he'll be reinvented like the Chaotix were when they were reintroduced in Sonic Heroes. He's basically hired to destroy the Werehog with the promise that he can get the Emeralds from his dead body. He becomes an occasional rival in three or four boss battles. In their final battle, he reaches the last Emerald before Sonic and has an adverse effect.

-The story is not meant to be taken too seriously just like Sonic Heroes, but there are darker undertones toward the end. Eggman is particularly portrayed as more evil and capable than the more recent games.


Entire thing could be fake, who knows.

Sorry GT but that info is fake. I read the the rest at Sonic Stadium and it pretty obvious is fake. C'mon Eggman get turn into a walrus at the end. No even Sonic Team would write that kind of ending.

Not saying anything's true in that article, but Sonic Team is more than capable of that. Hell, that probably gave them an idea. XD

But that was confirmed to be found on Sega's server.

Besides, there was also a situation that someone "leaked" the Sonic 2K6 script that features Knuckles dying or some stupid crap like that.
