I know that graphics don't make a game great, but seriously why isn't there any realtime shadows for sonic. Only monster sonic has them, and its at night which rly is pointless. All other models don't including normal sonic. I mean rly come on if The Clone Wars for the Ds has realtime shadows why doesn't sonic unleashed have them. I know its a port, but even some ported games on the wii still had realtime shadows. Also its not because the levels are huge. TP had ultra large enviorments, and it still had realtime shadows even the enimies. I know its not important, but it is kinda dissapointing. If im mistaking please let me know.

Deosn't really matter if this game has this and that game has that. Really I think it deosn't matter if a wii game deosn't have real time shadow but a DS game deos.

Well Sonic never was intended to be realistic, its core is about a fast running hedgehog and that is all. And if Sonic move as fast as they show in the videos you won't have time to worry about shadows

Yeah but the 360 version, and PS3 version have them. Also mario was never intended to be realistic, but he had realtime shadows in Galaxy. And for those who dont know what realtime shadows are its basicallytThe shadow of a 3d model accuratly represented according to the characters shape and form. for example non realtime shadows is the little circle undernearth a charecter. Thats called texture applied shadows. A good example of realtime shadows is your own shadow which takes ur shape. Hope i explained it clear enough. i rly dont know how to rly explain it. Oh btw OBAMA WON!!!!!!!

Are you really gonna care whether or not sonic has a realistic shadow while running 120 mph and faster? Have we really gotten that desperate for things to baw about?

It's a PS2 port. Sonic and the Black Knight will have real time shadows and graphics which will use the Wiis power, just like Secret Rings.

Oh ok im pleased now. The reason i was complaing was because i feel that it is kinda demeaning to the wii. I dont know whether some will get what im trying to say, but to say that the wii uses texture applied shadows, and the ds can use realtime is well yeah. Well at least they put them in the game. Thank You. Oh BTW those are rly nice looking pics.

A real time shadow is a shadow in a game that actually changes shape depending on the shape/pose of your character.

It's a PS2 port. Sonic and the Black Knight will have real time shadows and graphics which will use the Wiis power, just like Secret Rings.MangaPicture

Sonic Unleashed isn't a PS2 port... (is it?)

Agreed. And Sonic really doesn't need to change into a "Werhog". That's just dumb Sega.
