Yes, I saw this some time ago. I was going to post some info but I thought it might upset some people.

Anyway, now that the cat (or hedgehog) is out of the bag, please keep the topic clean.

Yes, various webcomics have made note of this:

 

[Cid Highwind]

That first comic explains why he is holding a gun

What are they going to make out of this game? A standard game like let's say, Fur Fighters (first one that comes to mind) in which you just have to run around with a gun in 3rd person, and shoot.... Meanwhile you solve some puzzles?? :???:

 

[Kirby]

except for some pretty rocket shoes, Shadow is basically just Sonic in black.

I smell a lawsuit from the NAACP

 

[MaZa]

Hahaha!!! VGcats site is da best. :lol: I especially loved their zelda and KOTOR comics.

 

[Katsuya]

ok...

Well, I think rape is a bit strong of a word. (This is just a silly game, not a crime)

Anyway, he’s not even an original sonic character. So what does it mater? Would you rather have Sonic use a gun? Or tails? Perhaps Knuckles would be a better alternative?

A mockery of a character (he’s just a black sonic) for a mockery of a game (Eggman May Cry )

This is just going to be like the rest of the later sonic games. Dry and tedious, maybe they can have him steal cars. That just might make a popular game.

I didn't found SA, SA2 and SH to be tedious... but that's just me.

For me the Knuckles and Rouge levels of Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 were more of a chore then fun. I spend enough time looking for things. I don’t need it when I’m taking a break.

(And most of Eggman and Tails in 2 also not that much fun. The Robot in 1 was more fun to play as and had more of a story)

(Also the storyline of both 1 and 2 needed a great deal more development)

The rest of the games had some fun parts. But not enough to challenge the original sonic games.

I still haven’t played heroes so I don’t know how that is.

 

[Carmofin]

its not just... a gun, ive seen the trailer, its a freakin UZI, i mean please, COME-ON...

 

[MaZa]

I hope he doesnt use it in ghetto style, or else that vgcats comic hitted even more in bullseye. :lol:

 

[zen_master]

**sigh** whats going on? It seems like games just rip off each other..Wny in the world would Shadow use a gun? Im not mad or anything, its theyr game they could do whatever they want, but its just soo dumm, how would this even work? Where would a hedgehog would even get a gun? Where the heck would he ceep it? Its just crazy. :eyespin:

I have never played any of the early Sonic games, only SA1 and 2. And I totally agree on what you said about SA2, the best part were the sonic and shadow levels, the same goes for SA1 which I have played for about 50%

Rouge's / Knuckles' levels in SA2 were tedious but I found Knuckles' levels in SA to be quite enjoyable since they weren't impossible tasks to finish.

(And most of Eggman and Tails in 2 also not that much fun. The Robot in 1 was more fun to play as and had more of a story)

Cammera issues, but overall I enjoyed them a lot. Tails' bgm on level 2 and 3 were kickass.

(Also the storyline of both 1 and 2 needed a great deal more development)

Matter of preferences I guess... I found the plot of SA2 to be quite entertaining, specially the way it was implemented with the two storylines intertwined with each other. Plus both games feature some of the best final battles ever.

Maybe they'll have him bust a freestyle next... like this guy.

 

[cooliscool]

Saw it a while back.. totally stupid imo. A gun? What. The. ****.

Hip hop culture taking over at its finest, folks!

 

[Kaiser Sigma]

I doubt Squaresoft granted Yuna in FFX-2 a gun because of hip-hop... this goes beyond people's distaste for certain kinds of music.

 

[cooliscool]

Not necessarily the music hip-hop, but the "Xtreme" culture that goes along with it..

Giving Yuna a gun is so much different than giving Shadow a gun.

 

[Kaiser Sigma]

Because... You say so?

 

[zen_master]

The way I look at it, let them give him a gun, let them mess up and not sell any games, and let them end up totaly broke :lol: But.. who know it sega, and sega makes good games.

And I dont think they really give a damm about hip hop, I hawent seen too many rapers playing Sonic Adventure, its probably not the market they are aiming for..
