Funnily enough, I'd just been reading about Ken Penders's old Sonic movie pitch today... surprised

I saw it described here. You can also find a few promotional concept art pieces for it and some Powerpoint presentation Penders did, but as for the trailer itself, it looks as if everybody only linked to the original July 2014 Youtube video he got taken down, and nobody bothered to save it and re-upload it yet, a disappointing surprise to me.

AFAIK, Ken really wanted to do a SatAM movie (even years after it was still relevant) where Robotnik blows Mobius up, and... uh, actually, I'm not sure where the hell Ken intended to go from there. Maybe it's Xenoblade X with animal people or something.

He could have probably filled it with his humongous obsession for Knuckles

To be fair he did give some depth to the Echidna tribe although it was convoluted and ridiculous. Say what you will about the Echidna designs but they do have some distinction to them.

Still canĀ“t get over how right people are over Shadow The Hedgehog being so edgy.

Gunshot noises for selecting things

All this music

etc.

Sega really wanted to be hip with the kids huh

Still a better game than Colors.

Of which Shadow had little.

[up] Um, how exactly?

Shadow The Hedgehog is great example on how NOT to approach being Darker and Edgier. IMO

They're pretty apples and oranges as far as Sonic goes, anyway.

It does have more 3D sections, but I didn't find thoe 3d section to be any fun. They we're so boring and such a slog to go through.

And I absolutely hated the mission system, it was horribly implemented.

[up][up][up]By being a better game in recent memory

Shadow is edgy, water is wet, and Colors has you fight two ferris wheels. The Wisps are substitutes for abilities Sonic already has. I loathe the Wisps.

As much as everyone likes to rag on a work for being "too dark and too edgy" being on the opposite end of the spectrum isn't much better.

Plus, Eggman acted less like a Saturday Morning Cartoon villain.

And that, I got through the game just fine. 'I think it had great ideas and played decently' (or at least no worse than 2006). So there. Take that.

Eggman acted less like a cartoon villain? You're forgetting the Egg Dealer, that mech he rigged with a slot machine with results that only benefit his enemy.

[up][up] That doesn't really tell me how it's better, and Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy isn't the reason why people didn't like Shadow The Hedgehog.

People didn't like Sht H because it tried to hard to take itself seriously and failed miserably to the point of being a joke itself. It was way too try hard, like really. Are we suppose to take Sonic seriously by giving them guns and having them swear?

That's ridiculous, and unintentionally funny.

[up][up][up]You could bring up worse things.

You fight bosses multiple times in Shadow.

Eggman was barely in the Shadow game, though it's not like you could actually take him seriously here either...but he wasn't exactly entertaining so that's even worse.

Guns like Wisps were an unnecessary gimmick that you were forced to use. Except in Colors' case, not really.

The level design in either game wasn't very interesting.

I never understood the complaint about being force to use the wisps in Colors. To my memory, Colors always made the wisp optional.

Shadow also has two of the worst characters in Sonic as a whole, the GUN Commander and Black doom
