Shadow the hedgehog new video?

this is a shadow the hedgehog video i just saw on sega europe.

The reason theres a question mark in the title is because i'm not too sure whether it is new or old.

Also something in this video kinda shocked me quite alot:
watch and you'll see what i mean

Ps: sorry to everyone if this has been posted or seen by you before.

Feedback thoughts>

No way
Everyone should download this video. Now! There is no sonic game like this...

I hope it's different for the better and that it doesn't make it worse.

I just don't see the point of giving him a gun? Surely they could've thought up a projectile weapon that could've fitted in with the game world?

Still looks cool, maybe Sonic will make a cameo appearance.

to me if you look closely when you see sonic at the end don't you realise theres a gun behind him....
gets ya thinking maybe shadow tries to kill him or something.

A few things that don't make sense are for instance it says somewhere in the video its showing you shadow's past so how the hell is sonic in it?

what raises questions for me was i thought i saw the egg carrior (from sonic adventure /dx directors cut) which shadow destroyed.
which could link in with sonic adventure someway.

I see your point it kinda ruins your orginal view on sonic but think of it this way it's not sonic it's shadow the darker form of him.
So really this makes sense aslong as they don't start giving all there characters guns.
I see what you mean though to be honest he doesn't have guns all the time and i think the guns will be in the game only at certain points not where you can pick them up at any moment.

Also i think at one point shadow had a sword.

that choas controll was confusing it looked weird how it kinda turned hyper shadow
How can he fly?
why has he changed colour when he did choas controll? he didn't before.
Also when he did choas burst or explosion it seemed weird how he was all like a dark flame before he attacked.

Although the only bit in this that raises the most questions has got to be the bit at the end with sonic.
Whats it ment to mean?

This game looks awsome and the graphics looked amazing espcially on sonic

your thoughts ^_^

Looked funny as hell with the guns at first, but then after getting round the cheesey CHAOS BLAST and other crap, there's hope. Just. Enough.

Sonic gets his cocky little blue arse kicked? I'm fucking loving it.

Guns! Snigger.

Shadow's 'thing' - hmm, OK.

Otherwise, looks, above average. Not terrible. I've changed the HARDCORE + ATTITUDE + REVENGE = SHITE to a less harsh, not impressed phase.

it looks better than that to me v_v

Video not working, downloading now... but the new logo looks mighty swish, hehe xD Stupid slow broadband...
*watches vid*
Yup, different one to the preview trailer, and looks nice Lot more action, but I can't help but think that it looks more like Sonic Heroes rather than the (IMO) superior SA2B, which is not a good thing. Someone tell Sonic Team Japan to take a few steps back and not make it 'family-friendly' like they tried to do with SH. 'Cause it sucked. I'm CrazySonicFan, and I still think it sucked. Bleh. =P

on the bright side i'm not gay

Bring it back to 2D...

They're doing that with the DS version.

And also it is still 2d on the game boys which makes the game good i think if they want to be as good as zelda is now...

All they have to do is go back to the 4 main characters sonic,tails,knuckles and robotnik.

But i doubt that will happen.

what do you want to happen guys?

I still find it weird why they chose Shadow to have a gun.

looks friggin sweet shadow is my all time favorite video game charectar followed by ollie the magic bum

Not a valid argument.

Hmmm, it looks better than it did, but still not great...I like the flying section. This game seems like Sega are selling out to the masses with me, I think this is why I don't like the looks of it. Sega have always been about being unique and creating original games - sure they have their sports series and their racing series, but they've always been in addition to these original games. Adding a gun to one of their franchise games for no real reason just ruins things for me. I might pick it up, but only on the cheap, and I certainly won't be going out of the way to buy it.

EDIT: Damn server and its double posts...

Didn't look very impressive to me, nothing seemed to be handled tastefully at all.

I was more impressed before that video.

Guys, that movie is kinda old, yeah Sonic will definitely make an appearance, he'll be there quite a bit, there is also a clip with game footage...

This game is looking so incredible!! I just love watching these movies!!!-click here-

it's the bottom movie, the one with a pic of Sonic & Shadow

there are also lots of Sonic Dash movies on www.sonicstadium.org check that site out, it's brilliant. Sonic dash is made of 2D environments & 3D sprites, sound weird? look at the video, it looks BRILLIANT!! It will also feature a new character called Blaze the Cat, (not in any videos at the mo) & the bosses will be like SSBM, 3D environmet & models, but you can only move to the side, it looks brilliant.

As for the whole "stick to 2D" thing... I actually think Sonic Adventure DX & 2 Battle, are brilliant games! Not Sonic Heroes, possible my least favourite Sonic of all time, but they could have easily made Sonic Heroes good, make 3 Player coop, make it so that Flying characters aren't always totem poles. & don't make it so that they always have to talk in the levels (Knuckles goes off a cliff "SHAAAA!!!!" embarrasing. Knuckles punches "SHIT!!") Sonic Adventure 2 Battle is one of my fave games ever, & what they're doing with Shadow makes it look really good!!

Another edit...

You don't control Shadow's past, you control how he finds out about it! that's why Sonic is there, it's set in present time, after Sonic Advance 3 & Sonic Battle, Shadow wants to find the answer to whether he is good or bad, you get to control that, if you help the Army G.U.N against the Alien invasion, you become nicer, & vice versa you become meaner, you also can find different ways to find out stuff, sounds like a game with a million endings? With about 50-60 missions (probably different depending on how you play, good or bad) that will mean LOADS of replay value to get every ending, it also involves Sonic Eggman & some more characters, not that many mind you, & Sonic will have the biggest role of all of them, (& it's not really that big) So you can stop worrying about Sonic being every corner you go, he's only on a few mission, like I said, if you help Sonic & gang, you get nicer, & if you help Eggman you get meaner! That is all

Nice facts but i am annoyed slightly.

I wanted to go into shadows past not go into the present.

the guns make more sense now.

also i have always liked the idea of having a choice between which side shadow will side with.

The only problem is if shadow is good or bad in the next game they make how will they show shadow? if hes in it?

It might it will go something like this... SA2B, you've chosen the dark side, you unlock the last story & discover you'll be doing something good anyway, so whatever you chose as your main story you'll end up good anyway, that could happen but they'll probably make it different & more original, you can't rally tell whether he's good or bad in most Sonic games anyway! So... he'll... OHH! I don't know you've confused me now!

Guns simply don't fit in with the Sonic theme. It's been about the speed and the platforming. Making jumps, getting the end goal really fast and collecting rings while avoiding baddies. Sonic has changed so much it's sad, but I guess the same applies to Mario; some might like, some might not.

Then it might be utter poo.

for me i'm not too sure about it but couldn't care less aslong as its a good game.

i think it looks good (though i agree it doens't suit sonic games)
but will only pick it up second hand thats for sure.

A true fact, but maybe they are approaching a more "mature" theme with the Shadow game by adding shooting elements prehaps...
