shadow's supposed to have guns......combat wont be what it used to....

I think it's going to a mix of the three types: Speed, obviously, but the vids show him flying on his rocket shoes and blasting with a gun. It's all three Sonic Heroes guys in one! I think it's gonna be a great game- aliens, Eggman, and GUN all fighting, with multiple endings like Sonic CD!! WOOT! -shadow- I'll post a video in a sec. ^_^

.metalknuckles.

Guns, eh? Hmmm... wouldn't it be cool if -fang- made an appearance? Well, his obscurity won't let him! XD

But, a man can dream...

On the other hand... the Chaotix Team (sans Mighty) being on Sonic Heroes? I never saw that coming. Or Amy coming back in Sonic Adventure, didn't see it, either. So, who knows?

yeah! it would make a good twist if mack showed up. but i think he might be for the comix.

I cannot wait for Shadow the Hedgehog to come out. He has so many cool weapons (lasers, guns, and whatever you can pick up and smack at people!)

I hope we get to see some of the other characters, at least Sonic, in this.

For some reason I picture an apperance by Rouge, probably because of the dark theme of it all.

Either way its still gonna be great. I can wait to see Shadow fighting GUN!!!

Contrary to what a game not based on Sonic might seem like, I think this is actually a return to its roots- a single-player game, flying solo. Sonic can't do that now with all his buddies, but Shadow can.

Actually, Nack was in Sonic the Fighters, though Archie has used him a lot more than Sega. Though in the games he's known as Fang the Sniper. I wonder, in the English version of StF, is he known as Nack the Weasel? Because I don't think Archie just made up "Nack".....

Well, back on topic, like C_R was saying I hear he'll be able to pick up weapons and use them. Where are all these buttons going to fit? :blink:

Perhaps with the arrival of teh PS3 will be a new controller with buttons on all sides XD

Well, this sounds like a game for meh brother. It has Shadow, weapons, and it's a video game. Yup. Definatly a David thing.

Im allmost (allmost) possitive you see or fight Sonic in this game, but hey maybe im wrong.


Hehehe I like that Sega picked Shadow for a game, he doesnt care if he has to be violent so it just makes things more fun in the game.

i love shadow..... :wub: -shadow- -shadow- -shadow- -shadow- -shadow-


oh what i mean is exactly what someone said about him flying solo, and you dont have the choice to fight or not, so you HAVE to fight. It creates a challenge.



NO CHALLENGE IS A MATCH FOR -shadow- -shadow- -shadow- -shadow- !!!!!!!

Ya, though his first appearance was in Sonic Triple Trouble (known in Japan as Sonic and Tails 2). Dunno whether Sega or Archie made the name Nack, though... honestly, I have no clue.

Btw, if you play Shenmue (the first one), there's a lot of Sonic UFO plushies you can get at the arcade! One of them is of Fang!

I am against the idea of weapons in Sonic/Shaodw games. It ruins the Sonicness of it.

I understand where you're coming from, cojo, but it seems weapons like that are a part of the Sonic continuity now. In any case, I'm sure a major goal will be to keep this feeling like a Sonic game, so I imagine the gameplay to be more like Sonic Heroes Dark Team than Sonic Adventure E102.

well, yeah, i basically dont know what the guns are for. perhaps for long range damage, just so he doesnt have 2 go up to the enemy and whack him on the head and be an open target.

then again, maybe you can still do the old attacks.

so, cojo, maybe the gun thing will be a little optional.

just dont get your hopes up.really, we can only rely on our thoughts for specultion until it comes out.

Well, that's why this game has Shadow in it... if they wanted to not have that stuff, it would have been a Sonic game. The reason they have Shadow is try out new stuff. Besides guns, there's also gonna be tanks and other vehicles. Of course, ya, there will be a lot of running, too.

Also, there's multiple endings based on the actions you choose throughout the game. In every level, you have to choose whether to have Shadow act as a hero, a villain, or just neutral. Every choice changes the course of the game, thus having several different possibilities.

Sonic also has a short appearance somewhere in the game, but besides him, and possibly Eggman, I don't think any other familiar faces will be making an appearance. Though, that's just what I think. All the other stuff I said, though, is pretty much fact, according to several previews I've read.

This game is supposed to be a lot different from Sonic games, and it's supposed to be darker, too. Perhaps maybe it might even get a T rating, though it's too soon to tell and the ESRB aren't always predictable.

I was thinking it would get a T rating as well, A game with that many weapons will be like that even though I highly doubt the weapons will be killing people including blood and gore.


lol this will be the first T rated Sonic game maybe

I still wish Shadow didnt have to get a gun.

Shadow's much different from Sonic, though. Sonic probably would never use a gun, but Shadow's a different hedgehog, despite coincidentally looking a lot like Sonic. ;)

And as I said, the gun isn't the only thing he uses. There's a bunch of other things he uses, too. This whole game is pretty much to show how different he is from Sonic, and also to explore more of his backstory, or so I heard.

Yeah, some of us looked at nintendo power.

I have too Ima just sayin that I think the whole idea of weapons besides robots in a game is ruining the Sonicness or Shadowness of a game.

Yeah I agree,

Shadow is so strong enough without any weapons to kick butt ^^

hmmm but of course Ive been kinda curious about the weapons, I wanna try it out ^^

cojo, we understand what you are trying to say. Just, some of us are neutral, and will go for either. I go for mre of a Shadow-without guns thing, but maybe guns.........let's give it a chance. i'm Like C_R. I like to try new things, but I still stickwith the older stuff too.

Ya, I mean, this game is a Shadow game, the first of its kind. You have to expect it to be more than just a Sonic game with Shadow in it.

Besides that, Sega hasn't really let us down before.

Anywho, to add to that, I think these new, more powerful enemies I just found out about that he has to face might be the reason he needs weapons:

Shadow is more of a nemesis to Sonic rather than a true enemy; they may be adversaries but there is a mutual respect between the two of them. As the story and game progresses, more and more of Shadow’s past is revealed. As such, Sonic and other favorite characters from the Sonic series, such as Tails, Knuckles and yes, Dr. Eggman, all play an integral part in the story. It’s up to the player whether they are friend or foe. Dr. Eggman has always been after the chaos emeralds for himself, but Shadow needs them to unravel the mysteries of his past, so inevitably they will come into conflict somewhere along the line. Sonic certainly plays a key role as you uncover Shadow’s past, but the real enemy in this game are the Black Creatures…

So, from what I've read, the main enemy in the game seems to be a mysterious race of alien creatures. Incidentally, Eggman also seems to be at war with these things.

So is GUN in this game?

Yep. Eggman's going at it with GUN, as well.

O.O With GUN? Awesomeness!! Ive got to get this game!!

GUN, aliens, Eggman and Sonic, Tails and Knuckles!?

Dude. Mark me down. I'm buyin' it. PLEASE tell me it will eventually be on PS2.

And if not... eh, I need to get a Gamecube anyway to get the new Mario games. XD

Yep its going to be on GC,PS2, and XB ^^ I think it comes out in November though


Thats a long time from now........ >.<

It may technically be grave-digging... but I would prefer that to starting a new topic about the same thing. *ahem* Anywho, for those of you interested, here's an interview from IGN with Takashi Iizuka about what we can expect from Shadow the Hedgehog.

:3 Just saw the latest preview......all I can say is woah......it looks so so so cool!!!

http://media.cube.ign.com/media/734/734824/vids_1.html

check out the first one :3 *drool* Gosh I cant wait until next month!

WOW. NICE CLIPS. WAAHHOOO!!! This makes me want it even more!!! Waitaminute....NEEXT MONTH?? IT COMES OUT NEXT MONTH!! YIPPEE!!!!!

So I'm at Walmart buying my Gameboy-Gamecube adapter today, when I see one of those display gamecubes with the demo games. They have a movie of the new "Shadow the Hedgehog" game, avaliable November 17.

DUDE.

DUDE. FREAKIN' AWESOME.

SOFINGCOOL!

While Knuckles will always be my favorite, no matter what, I must admit Shadow is doing a good job of making me love him. I saw the game demo movie, and dude. He turns red in one scene and blows a bunch of stuff up. And he has a big laser gun, and a machine gun (what is up with all the guns? o.O) and there's one awesome looking scene where Sonic is being beaten up by a big red and brown monster that looks kinda like a super-pimped-out chaos, and Shadow is looking at Sonic and the monster.

All I can say -- time to start saving money, cause I'm buying this one.

I so cannot wqait ^_^ Only 18 days to go!!!!!

This is just a good month! First Shadow and then Harry Potter 4 a day later ^_^

Gosh...Im going to be so broke....

SHADOWSHADOWSHADOWSHADOW.....and......moreSHADOW!!! AND HARRY POTTER!! YAY

I've seen alot of clips,pics and info on it,I hope it's as good as it looks ^_^ but what I'm wondering is...what's the ultimate lifeform doing with a gun? :P

For some reason Shadow uses guns. I saw at least two varieties in the preview demo at Walmart. An electric gun that reminded me of laser tag, and a machine gun that looks like, well, a machine gun.

Personally I'm not big on Shadow having guns, but whatever.

Yeah tons of guns....

And knifes......

And even a lead pipe ^_^

Not to mention a flying evil monster he rides along with his motorcycle

:3 Really? It shall be Shadow's dragon and I shall name it Norbert. ^_^

I don't really mind how ridiculous it is, as long as it's fun. ^_^ He has rocket boots too... which leads me to beleive that speed + flying boots/dragon + guns = all powers of Sonic Heroes in one guy! :D

Awe-sum! :D

heheheh Norbert the evil flying dragon ^_^

Gosh everytime I watch the preview I crack up and my mum thinks im a moron....all because at the beging when he has the big gun and he makes `the clicky noise with it ^_^

*click click*

:lol:

Dude. Shadow gets a dragon. That's pretty sweet.

I think this game'll be good, plus I want to see how it effects the Sonic storyline. I mean, more info on Shadow could totally change the whole posistion on Shadow in the story. Maybe he'll become an official hero, or maybe he'll go totally evil. I dunno, but I can't wait to see what happens.

Actually, I think he was riding an alien in the video clip.
