Sonic Unleashed's Interesting Cut Content

'unused evil sonic swing' is the funniest sentence to me

Apparently the DLCs come with high-quality GI maps except Eggmanland, since it never recieved a DLC pack.

Glad my videos were of use to you. I also found something interesting about the Jungle Joyride beta area which I made a short video about too :) (I also have a bunch of Unleashed related videos that I will also upload soon, they're a more in-depth analysis of the beta areas) Both versions do have a lot of unused interesting things, glad to see more people talking about them. 9:54 - In the files noticed that both the SubPetra_01 for the day and night are missing, these could've been for them. The javelin object was meant to be thrown at the target and used as a pole to swing across, the unused layout out of the mission play it cool would have you climbing up the electricity poles, grabbing it and throwing it at the target on the building where the titan would be, and then back tracking a bit and swinging across.

[@playbossthebest936]

Your videos are incredibly informative. Genuinely, thank you for those

[@sun4813]

14:05 the car generator could have been maybe for Skyscraper Scamper as there are cars in the background of the level at some early point, maybe they could've been at the first and second bridge sections instead of the 4 flying robots and Generations is basically built on top of Unleashed given both share a lot of content, even a couple unused 20:55 the cannot deside sound is used in 06 when you try using the level select before having started a story (particularly Sonic's since he's the first one)

[@AubreyTheKing]

OMG! That footage of DarkspinesSonic using the Werewog to glitch through levels, as a kid, I would watch his videos constantly and try to execute them. And trust me, IT'S HARDER THAN IT SEEMS! That shit is NOT easy! But when I finally did it, Man!!! It felt so damn cathartic to run away in a level that went unused! I did this shit so much! It was fun! Also, most of these cut content would be a nice edition in Sonic Unleashed remastered. Eww...if it ever happens...

[@Gnidel]

I worry that Unwiished will be forgotten, just like Sonic Colors Ultimate ignored Colors DS and Sonic X Shadow Generations ignores Generations 3DS.

[@Cifesk]

It not being easy is exactly the reason I just used his footage LOL tried for too long and gave up

Sonic Unleashed is my personal favorite Sonic game so it’s cool to learn about the cut content of both the HD and Wii release.

[@Vaquix000]

Crazy that it was made in 2008, still looks really nice.

[@Only_Some]

half of it was my favorite but the other half was also hated it as much.... never finished the game because i refuse to play a beat-them-up game when i pay for a sonic game..... if i wanted something like this i would have played SC or tekken

[@mart5610]

11:37 That's Super Sonic's actual in game animation for the Trophy icon. Not the unused one. The finished animation used in the game looks different. Heads tilted up and Sonic's mouth is closed. He's not doing a weird smirk in the Trophy icon.

[@kaidenwanna3209]

( 2:42 ) The wherehog life icon actually does go used in the final SD release within the stage select from the world map to differentiate stages from day and night.

[@SonicTheBlueBlur15]

Ngl theres alot i wish stayed in unleashed and came for future games as well, but whatever, something i do really like about unleashed is that when sonic boosts he has a barrier like if he where breaking the sound barrier, while for some reason frontiers had freaking lighting, i dont like the movies combining with the games uniqueness, sonic was always wind and he better stay that way,

[@LsAdventurer]

Sonic is wind? 🤔

9:50 best words of 2024: "They must love those fucking clouds"

[@KartinX]

One thing that I forgot to document, that the next gen version of Sonic Unleashed have unused graphics for control configuration, and also the option to switch game to any language. The other thing which I forgot to document, that the early preview prototype of Sonic Unleashed, have left-overs of easy, normal and hard mode in the first Tornado stage. Btw, the DLC with stages like 1-2 or 2-2, they are also the left-overs of the unused hard mode

[@TheStormsChannel]

Some of the unused hardmode layouts were actually used for certain missions (with some modifications), going out of bounds reveals the entire act has the layout.

[@keeby4]

Just started playing it again on rpcs3 and I forgot how fun it was.

I really wɑnt sonic to be in ɑ mɑrio kart game even tho he hɑs his own kart rɑcers

[@MadWinter889]

Seriously why is this game STILL so good looking? It's insane...

[@TheRealBlazingDiamond]

Good art design, normal maps, lighting effects, stuff like that. Ever since the PS3 generation, everything went in high definition, and most of the modern graphical techiques have been used effectively, like normal maps, and the polygon count was high enough to make it look smooth, even when looking rather closely. Nowadays, the only thing you can do to improve graphics is to increase polygon count, increase texture resolution, giving god rays to everything and filling the screen full of lights and special effects that block the action, because those last two are totally necessary to make your game look cutting edge and next gen

[@sonicraft9996]

This was made in a time where Sega actually cared about what their games looked like and how they performed. Now we get trash like sonic frontiers.

[@MadWinter889]

it's very honestly surprising how you're not a 100k youtuber because MAN the quality you put out is stellar 🔥🔥🔥

[@GlitchSpeedrunnerTrevor]

Was hoping to hear the Unused Voice Clips here (both versions), but that reaction time sound effect was pretty cool to listen to. Sounds like the Werehog would be more scarier, to what I could relate to. Can't wait to see the Betas in the next video, interested to see what else was changed than what has been documented on TCRF or Sonic Wiki Fandom. Edit: I would also like to address that I do apologize on the misinformation for the 06 Folder sound effects as I am the one who added these clips into the Sonic Wiki Fandom. I was going through these via the Sounds Resource page, which is why I assumed this is how it was labeled in the actual game's files. Please note this was not intentional and went on to fix that issue.

[@AnimateCYT]

The editing on this video looks really good! Good job!

[@Itz_YoshiMelon]

Great Video! I like the fact it has been cut into parts to have a more steady and easy to digest content stream (as well as making the workload less for you). Great work as always!

Oops! Almost missed this cut content video. Good thing I checked the channel today 😅

[@silverrath]

Really wish the Wii/PS2 versions were able to include the mission sections in actual acts, as well as fully realized Mazuri and Empire City worlds. They probably ended up being left out due to dev time/hardware limitations though.

[@sonicthomasgamer]

Sonic inflating with his detransformation looks cartoony and realistic in a way When you see game characters with squash and stretch they tend to inflate or go really flat even with hand drawn animation It looks weird, but it makes it flow really well and have life and defeat the mascot accusations Maybe it was too ambitious or they just went with simplicity so they decided against it

[@Adonys]

This is the first time I've been so early on a video & I'm not even subscribed :O Only 8 minutes in and my mind is blown, I didn't know SD Unleashed's stages were connected like in Colors :D

Well only the night stages, and it seems they were split quite early as most terrain is removed from the end of each act.

[@Adonys]

@@TheStormsChannel yeah I forgot to write that in the comment :(

[@Cifesk]

@@TheStormsChannel yeah, Colours' levels are actually still connected and can be accessed with cheats The most obvious reason for them being split would be performance, but I'm guessing they already scrapped that in the SD version of Unleashed for those same reasons? It's weird they went for it again if they already knew they couldn't possibly do it

Keep up with the Unleashed content, I saw through Unleashed cut content and was interested if anyone would make a video based on it.

[@minty6623]

The unused springs that let you bounce upward with forward speed momentum would've been used for stages to make them flow better imo Tho I do understand having to use springs that launch you at a fixed angle but I'd prefer the ones where they let you preserve your forward speed while still being lifted up like the classics

[@zekromfan1]

Once you complete all of the videos for each game, why not compile them into one big video like the older ones so that way it’s all together. You’ll essentially just be releasing the video as a full set, and you can also add addendums to it if there are things that you learned after the original videos released. You don’t have to since that can take a bit of time due to rendering, but it would be nice. That way for people like me who prefer the longer videos with everything in them, we still have the option, and it lessens the load on you since you’re still releasing them in parts. Regardless this was a nice video, and a noticeable improvement over the original, you can tell how much you’ve improved simply by watching both. Happy 33rd birthday Sonic!

[@metuos.3651]

You know, it got a lot of shit for being...the way it is...but I find something neat about the nature of the Wii game, both because that's the one I had and because it had something a bit more tactical about the boosting. I actually loved it so much that it's what interested me in speedrunning, as I was obsessed with the Chun-nan stage, to the point I found the official speedrunner website, found the top time, and somehow managed to beat it by a *large* margin. I didn't even understand how big it was that I did that.

It's so sad that the Sonic fandom always had a bad reputation, bacause the toxic behavior of most fans (which most of the time consists in complaining about absourdly stupid things, that gives the image of a community that is always unhappy with anything, and toxic and mean behaviour towards voice actors and writers) tends to overshadow people like yourself, people who love the franchise and express their love for the series and its history: illustrating the development behind games, thier history with interviews with developers, artists etc. Preservation of lost builds, footage, soundtracks, magazines of all sort containing informations about the games, theories, not counting the endless amount of mods and fangames like Robo Blast 2 which is more than 20 years old, is still being updated and has a community around it that makes countless mods for it: stages, characters, physics improvements, whole campaigns ... Also literal fan recreations of games and enanched versions of others (almost every game has a project behind it with the objective of improving the experience). Incredible fanartists and lots of other people that show how much they love the series, is not right in my opinion that a fandom like that should pass under such a bad reputation, it's not fair for them to be overshadowed by the toxic side, those people are amazing. In the collective imaginary because that toxic side has a huge voice the fandom is seen like that, instead of a fanbase whose members express their love for the series through various ways. People like those behind Sonic Hacking Contest, SAGE , Sonic Retro (where they truly shine in their unmatched love for beta and prototype Sonic content), P-06, Unleashed Project, SRB2 and its modding community, Sonic 1 Forever, Sonic 2 Absolute, Sonic 3 A.I.R. , mods like Dreamcast conversion and better SADX for adventure, documentaries about cut content and a lot of other amazing projects, It's just not fair.
