Shadow The Hedgehog Joins The Cast Of Netflix's Sonic Prime

I'm guessing we'll see more at Netflix's Geeked week event

Was kinda expecting more Prime news then just 'Shadow confirmed!' in this presentation.
Happy for the Shadow fans atleast.

They spent almost the same time if it not more on Pez than they did this or Frontiers, Sega is channeling Sonic 4 marketing and why not when their desperate fans will always defend them and invent theories like saying the ugly pop-in and floating grind rails are a gameplay and story element?

I really like the visual style of the environments in this. Its exactly what I always hope every new 3D Sonic game will look like, and yet it never does. I'm glad there are some people still keeping these colourful checkerboard worlds alive, and introducing them to new audiences.

Still not really seen anything of Prime to indicate anything about the story or humour, and yeah, the 2 previews we've had of it so far are incredibly short. Laughably so. Very strange marketing decision, unless it really is that early in development that there's nothing to show yet. But at the very least, I like how it looks!

Will he be still portrait as an edgelord or is more like the sympathetic anti-hero as he was in SA2?

All hail Shadow
Heroes rise again
Obliterating everything
That's not your friend
Nothing can stop you now
No ghost to bring you down
When there's nothing left to lose
You win!

“strange new multiverse rests in [Sonic's] gloved hands”

You keep using that “multiverse” word….I do not believe it means what you think it does.

@Jackpaza0508 I believe in your-profile-picture supremacy

Very cool. It will be nice to see what direction they take Shadow's character in. He is definitely one of my favorite villains characters out of all the Sonic characters since he doesn't always classify as a villain. Love more Shadow representation.

Man, the environments in that actually look... Good? Wth. Don't they know all Sonic adaptations aren't allowed to actually use his visual style ;p

We hadn't seen Shadow in Green Hill since... Forces.

“Argh Sonic, my angst!”

He did have the coolest character theme song in SA2 though. I love that track.

Wait a minute, that's such a bad way to pronounce Mephiles, perhaps they should start putting an é in there or something.

The attention to detail is 0, could you imagine if a Nintendo Direct suddenly pronounced Luigi with a hard g?

hmm the enemy at the end of the video looked interesting, was that covered before?

Shadow looks so grumpy there, I wonder which role he is playing.
Surprisingly, after watching a lot of Sonic Frontiers gameplay the animation quality here suddenly looks... less detailed maybe?

The edge lord has returned.

@SalvorHardin So far, Pez won NotE3, though.

@Fizza Not funny joke about Shadow’s character from Free Riders onward isn’t funny.

@Ryu_Niiyama Shadow is not an edge lord - he’s a 3 dimensional anti-hero with a tragic past.

You may argue that he was an edge lord since the beginning, but that was the cause of his memories being altered: he wasn’t doing it for some stupid reason (i.e. Free Riders).

@Ruler-Of-All-Evil You obviously care way more about sonic lore than I do, but as a product Shadow was created to be a popular antithesis to keep the Sonic franchise relevant as the fan base and gaming trends changed. So …the edge lord has returned. I’m sorry my one liner bothered you but I am not changing it. At the end of the day, it’s just a video game.
