Sonic, in Sonic Unleashed, has now 2 new forms one is a golden super hedgehog form, while the other one is a werewolf. To me, this sounds pretty cool but i'm gonna have to play the game before i make decision.

Super Sonic has been around for years, man, where have you been? It's been there since at least Sonic 3, probably 2.

As for the game itself... Personally, I plan on putting no faith whatsoever in this until I hear something good about it. The Sonic series went sour sometime after Sonic Adventure.

That's it?? I was expecting a little more than Bark the Blue Werewolf for the werewolf form...

To be honest, I think some companies are taking Werewolf stuff mainstream without any supporting concepts, background or context, and at best, ruining their own creations. Let him be a hedgehog!

Werewolf...hedgehog that's just wrong

Lame gimmick.

it's sounds pretty bad to me and yet, they ask themselves what is going wrong with recent Sonic games

yeah, that's the first thing that popped in my head when I heard about this.

edited this...lol really bad typos...

Ok, I don't like sonic as much now.

Sonic should not get a werewolf concept gameplay, it doesn't mix! Its going to be bad, low sales and mediocre reviews.

Come on, Sega! Do better with Sonic.

heh...the same thing went through my mind.

heh, Yeah when I first heard about that I was thinking of the same thing. Why couldnt they just introduce a werewolf in there, not make sonic into a werewolf. I swear ever since Yuji Naka stopped directing Sonic games the series went down hill. Sonic Adventure 2 was the last great sonic game, I remember getting it the first day it came out and spending over 40 hours on the game.

Well here's a new trailer for you guys this one has got some claws!!!

Ooooooookaaaaaaay.

That was.........slightly interesting.

Now, my question is this. If it IS Sonic as a werewolf, what will turn him into one?


Guess I'll have to play the game in order to find out.


the release date is 11/04/08 Dang...thats a long wait.

I think sonic just got rabies, now they really have to put him to sleep.

Good luck with that. Meanwhile, try to revive Sparkster.

Jeah.....i totally agree with that...

Maybe it isn't a werewolf. Maybe it's just a "Mr. Hyde" type thing.

"Sonic and his new werewolf form."

That is the Infotext from Wikipedia...So i think this IS supposed to be a Werewolf

I have to agree with this. I have a feeling some people seem to be latching onto lycanthropy as the new "fad" to sell off of due to the popularity of games such as Okami and Twilight Princess. I don't mind that much if people occasionally use it as one of the main selling points as long as they do it properly. If they make a half-baked werewolf-related concept in a game (especially a franchise), then it may not only damage the series, but may also ruin it for future game developers who want to put a great lycanthropic game out there ("Oh, another werewolf game. Everyone makes them these days, and only 10% are partially decent anyway*").

*This is just what I'm afraid people will start thinking if this keeps up.

Reminded me of that episode with Garfield turning into a werewolf during a full moon. He's already a cat, so that would make him a third cat, a third human, and a third wolf?
Kind of an odd mix there.

He gets bitten by Link in the next Super Smash Bros. game

Oi. I've got an urge to play Sonic 3! *Zips away*

That wouldn't be Sega's job, Sparkster's a Konami property. I'd like to see that, though, Sparkster was awesome. Not sure how it'd work in 3D, though.

I wonder how does Sonic in his werewolf/hog form sounds like?

I am guessing it goes like this: "Arrrrrrrgroooooooooo!!!!"

It doesn't have to be in 3D.

For all i care it can end up like the gorgeous-looking Odin Sphere with an upgraded Sparkster gameplay package.
