Man, this is bunk.
If someone came up to me in 1991 and said 14 years later Sonic will be BLACK and have a GUN I would be drawing parallels to Mario in a trenchcoat with a bowie knife sticking koopas. This is like some retarded dream a middle-school age child would conceive: Sonic's awesome and all.. but what if he had a firearm, and a red sports car?!?!
Perhaps for those that have been a fan of the series since whenever, but for someone like me that never really liked Sonic (sorry), the new gameplay element might seem interesting.the gun thing is really a let down...
I predict this game will sell fairly well.
I welcome this. The Sonic series has truly gotten stale. Since SA1 on DC, I've been hoping for a fast pased action game starring SONIC only, the other characters can be in there, fine, but as NPCs - the game needs to be all hedgehog and not broken up with some stupid fishing levels. This could be the fun fast pased sonic game that I've been hoping for, it just happens to not be 'sonic' but it COULD still be fun...
Well like E-102 Gamma's missions, it maybe fun as well...the thing is I just realized, is Shadow is not a real hedgehog...he really is a creation of Eggman/Robotnik...so giving him more robot like features (i.e. the gun) is pretty normal I thinkOriginally Posted by mr_nihilism
These cartridges are dirty as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!
I suggest you stay away than, you'll probably hate it as well.
*I*, on the other hand, loved Sonic Heroes and the 2 Adventure games more than I liked the Genesis games. So this new game is going to be awesome IMO.
I'm holding out for Sonic Team to develop "Ron Jeremy The Hedgehog" as their next game instead.
Looks like it might bee cool, but it will have to great to win me over, as I'm not a big fan of 3D Sonic
After watching the trailer, It seems allright. Shadow is still mysterious.
I can just imagine Shadow rapping about "dropping G's with his Glock".
Possibility is infinity! You must be satisfied!

Personally, I think this really just opens the door for a lot of future innovation with the series. I fully agree with whoever posted and said if he didn't have the gun, people would just be saying, "A game where sonice is black instead of blue... yawn." It seems like it could have a few very interesting elements in it, and I'm more interested in it because of that gun than I was in any of the 3D Sonics since Sonic Adventure. It could really open some interesting gameplay elements...
Or it could suck.
I wonder what else will be different. Seems to me that Shadow may become a Knuckles-like character... and I would welcome him into the Sonic world in that case.

GOD this is gonna suck. This was Sega's last chance to win me back after Sonic Heroes, but I guess they're not smart enough for that. Shadow looks STUPID with a gun. I laughed my ass off in that first scene where he walks towards the camera and then shoots it. He looks like a freakin TODDLER carrying a gun, which is both hilarious and creepy at the same time.
It's just Sega sputtering out another mediocre game. All they did was take the "Heroes" engine and tweak it so you could use a gun.
Oh, and this is gonna be 'Cube exclusive? Gee, thanks, Sega, for shoveling over another pile of crap to your biggest supporters.
What a douchebag.
Well considering none of us have played it, we don't know that for sure yet.
Granted, it might be mediocre, but for all we know, it could rock.
I'm gonna wait and see.
No, YOU'RE A CIGARETTE!
WHY?
I guess it would be kinda like Mario getting with a hooker in a game. And that wouldn't be right.
Well Sonic Heroes wasn't a bad game. And what's wrong with it being a "CUBE" exclusive?
No, YOU'RE A CIGARETTE!
Anywho, can't say I'm a big fan of the whole "gun" thing either, but I figure the least I can do is give it a chance. Perhaps that jackass Naka has finally realized that people play Sonic games for two reason: to play as Sonic, and to run really fast. This looks like it may bring back the whole "not playing as a half dozen characters at once" premise, which just works far better, at least with the quality of the engine they use.
...hell, I'm be hoping they'll just kill off the Sonic Adventure engine...this'd be what, the fifth game to use it? It wasn't that great to begin with, anyway...
It's wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. Just call me burned after plopping 50 smackers down on launch day and getting such a let-down.
Nothing's wrong with being a Cube exclusive. I LOVE my Cube! It just feels like a lot of the Cube exclusives that Sega's brought to it lately are just, well, CRAP they know wouldn't sell otherwise.
Sorry if I ticked off anyone from my rant earlier, but a Sonic character running around shooting off a handgun just seems WRONG to me.
i dont think that this is gonna be all that great. as ive sed on numberous other forums, Sonic was the best when it was 2D and then when they came out with Sonic: Heroes later on down the line, i was majorly disappointed. and the game itself was cool for the first hour, maybe two, then the controls got annoying and it was nothing like when i play Sonic 2 on my Game Gear. i actually had to recover from Sonic Heroes. it took me 3 hours of Game Gear play. then i was back to normal.
A more cartoony gun I think would be better, the realisitic vibe doesn't fit with a hedgehog golding it. And if he was created to be perfect, does ne need a gun?
I'm waiting on a Sonic game that has the original 3, Sonic Tails and Knuckles, like Sonic and Knuckles did. Same kind of gameplay for all three with different tweaks.
