This game was so much fun. I got to play it on the Switch first. It's good and playable, but definitely going to replay it on PC and do a 4K movie on that. Chronological Order movie is also otw between both games. I took the time and did all the levels S Rank, and all bosses no damage
So, new Shadow lore I’ve learned from this game: 1. That Gerald was the one who gave Shadow the form of a hedgehog. 2. Maria said she was surprised to find he was a hedgehog, hinting that she was aware of the Black Arm origin and how they-or at least Black Doom-looked like, and therefore expected Shadow to look at least something other than a hedgehog. 3. Gerald Robotnik was the pioneer in research into the power of “chaos control.” This “chaos control” also appears to be the primary factor that Black Doom of the Black Arms gave Gerald access to via his DNA for Shadow’s creation. 4. By Black Doom calling Shadow his “finest creation” implies that he’s made other creations in the past, perhaps for a purpose similar to Shadow, a means to come back stronger in order to conquer and devour other worlds. With Shadow, it wad definitely to “become the perfect being” 5. Maria was the one who named Shadow. 6. Gerald considers Shadow his own son, based on how he addresses Shadow in the final act of the game.
I feel so sorry for Shadow for what he's going through. Must've been Super Tough and Hard for the poor Black Hedgehog himself to go through all of this.
Bruh they actually explained Shadow’s name, that’s crazy. Shadows aren’t darkness, they’re the the pathway to the light that is cast when light interacts with other things. Poetic.
Shadows are the *absences* of light - but are also _serve_ as indications of other light sources... So _yes,_ Shadows _DO_ show you where to find the Light 🥲 😇 🥰 🦔
They made a whole ass bossfight just so they could give Mephiles the biggest middle finger ever. This is like SEGA's way of saying "Fuck you Mephiles, we're not bringing you back. Have fun getting erased again"
Mephiles being aware he's noncanon and the implication that he was actively waiting for a chance to slip back into the timeline makes this feel like a safe place to leave him off If sega doesn't want to bring him back ever, he gets a fair send-off in an honestly deserved fate for trying to erase the universe However said fate also leaves him open to find a way to return IF Sega decides they want him back
@@Shimospeher Generations had shown that multiple things from 06 are salvageable. i think the path their taking is owning up to it, rather that hiding from it. then again; i think it should be remade so; how much of that is wishful thinking?.
*Shadow Generations* VS *Sonic Heroes* VS *Sonic Adventure 2* 43:58 SONIC: "I found you, Shadow." SHADOW: "The blue hedgehog, of all places." SONIC: "You have something I need." SHADOW: "You can wait until my business is finished." SONIC: "Yea sorry, but that Chaos Emerald and I have a date with a monster." SHADOW: "Well then, it'll be a date to die for." *_Sonic Heroes_* SONIC: "Didn't you know? We have a date with Eggman too." SHADOW: "Well then, it'll be a date to die for." SONIC: "Hey, that's my line." *_Sonic Adventure 2_* SONIC: "So far so good, hey, that's....." SHADOW: "That blue hedgehog of all places." SONIC: "I found you, Faker." SHADOW: "Faker? I think you're the fake Hedgehog around here, you're comparing yourself to me? Ha, you're not even good enough to be my fake." SONIC: "I'll make you eat those words."
48:07 do you have amnesia or someth... oh wait, Sonic erased that timeline when he helped Elise extinguish the Eternal Flame of Iblis. that means... 🤔 48:43 HE SHOULDN'T EVEN EXIST AT ALL ANYMORE! 😰
Crisis City shouldn't either, and we already saw what happened. But, as Gerald himself described, it is a "Time Anomaly". So, I suppose it can even restore things that were wiped out of Time.
Silver still exists, just from a timeline he can never return to. Kinda like a Future Trunks scenario, minus the being able to return to timeline of origin.
@@manoftruth0935 Wow... That got dark awfully fast, as true as it may be... The semblance between Silver and Trunks stopped being just a joke and is becoming true. Hope Toei doesn't sue the crap outta SEGA and Sonic Team...
Nice to see a Shadow game and story about just him, especially after his first game end with mix opinions. Good they add things to his story like why his name etc, also bring characters that were in void for long like Gerald, Maria, Doom and even Neo Metal or Mephiles. It could be a bit longer, but glad they still made something more to black hedgehog than him being just a side or one of playable character in title.
I never thought shadow could make me get emotional 🥹. Every time he was with Maria and Gerald my heart was wrenching We need to give him his own spin off franchise because his character is so well done and more interesting than Sonic’s
Nah, he's pure evil. If he's wiped out of existence, then good riddance! Besides... If he's allowed to exist, he could have become an even bigger threat than Black Doom, or even Time Eater!
Hmmm... 🤔 Yeah. That would do nicely. Link it to Sonic Generations, just like this game, and make Iblis a boss, like it was done to Mephiles. We could even have Eggman-Nega be the main villain!
And it isn't even Sonic and his pals beating him again - it's SHADOW, *ON HIS OWN!* If you ask me, it is double... Maybe even TRIPLE embarassement this time around.
"Shadow you have to help Sonic; how is he going to know he's got this if someone doesn't tell him he's got this!" Okay easy joke aside, i'm kinda amazed this game exists with the polish this has. I feel like the Sega of a few years ago would have just re-released Generations and slapped a Shadow skin and extra level on. But they seem really dedicated to making this the Year Of Shadow and this story is a really good testament to being a celebration of the character and giving him more closure than I feel his titular game did.
This is the most awesome videogame based on Shadow the Hedgehog ever! He's come a long way ever since he defeated Black Doom and his armies and saved the whole world from destruction. Also, when Shadow finally reunited with Prof. Gerald Robotnik and Maria, it was very heart wrenching and beautiful at the same time. Thank you so much for this amazing video, Gamer's Little Playground! I give this video 300,000,000/300,000,000 points!! 🥹🥹🥹🥹😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭❤❤❤❤❤💕😍🔥🔥🔥🔥💥🦔🖤
Project 06 has shown us a start for what Sega needs to do- just get Ian to rewrite the story (in proper fashion compared to the limited scope he was given with Sonic Generations), give it an art style more like Sonic Unleashed, and we’re looking at the game that should have been. Shadow 05, however, needs a complete overhaul in everything. For starters, ditch the morality system, including the branching paths. It’s completely pointless. Second, the writing, which is obvious enough.
I really like the Shadow Generations gameplay's graphic and animation that look even as good as Sonic Forces, Sonic Superstars, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, the Modern Sonic 3D non-gameplay CGI cutscenes, some of the 3D Super Mario games, and/or the Kingdom Hearts III game' graphic and animation!, if even Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 is made by only both SEGA and Sonic Team and not also by Nintendo. But why are the Sonic's birthday party cutscenes' graphic and animation from Shadow Generations still look like the same graphic and animation quality as Sonic Generations' graphic and animation?
3:18 While I don’t think this line makes Dark Beginnings non canon unlike certain no brain folks I have met, this is definitely an odd choice of line. It probably just means this was recorder before Dark Beginnings was conceived along with Kirk not having enough time to make a new line for this.
Maybe since it's kinda covering the flying aspect of a super form, so they thought putting the slow ring loss mechanic was nostalgic. I agree with you tho, and I'm sure some modder will remove it.
Yeah Agreed So Awesome To See Mephiles The Dark And Metal Overlord Again Along With Gerald And Maria Perfect Way To Start Before My Birthday Awesome To Relive All Those Awesome Memories. Once Again Poor Shadow He Lost Maria Not Once But Twice. Can Shadow Just Have A Happy Ending For Once.
This game was so much fun. I got to play it on the Switch first. It's good and playable, but definitely going to replay it on PC and do a 4K movie on that. Chronological Order movie is also otw between both games. I took the time and did all the levels S Rank, and all bosses no damage
Th dark warrio whom his pride won't be swallowe by darkness to be more like vegeta ( super )
I guess you can only play as shadow in this game. Meh, I don't mind.
Maria didn't care if she was going to die or not she just wants Shadow to have an amazing future with or without her
She is basically like an older sister (even tho shenis technically his cousin)
So, new Shadow lore I’ve learned from this game: 1. That Gerald was the one who gave Shadow the form of a hedgehog. 2. Maria said she was surprised to find he was a hedgehog, hinting that she was aware of the Black Arm origin and how they-or at least Black Doom-looked like, and therefore expected Shadow to look at least something other than a hedgehog. 3.

With Shadow, it wad definitely to “become the perfect being” 5. Maria was the one who named Shadow. 6. Gerald considers Shadow his own son, based on how he addresses Shadow in the final act of the game.
It's so cool to see Shadow having his own game again. Plus seeing Gerald Robotnik & Maria in the story mode brings back memories.
Not to mention all of the levels and All Hail Shadow.
sonic isnt playable :( ????
@@MrBud85he’s playable in the main game
@@DatDude2246 ph I thought this was a main game hehe
Except that this 3 hour dlc is locked behind a 50$ paywall rerelease
This *truly* is Shadow the Hedgehog 2.
I feel so sorry for Shadow for what he's going through. Must've been Super Tough and Hard for the poor Black Hedgehog himself to go through all of this.
Ain't that the truth
@@RoboZombie44Yep. Shadow REALLY misses Gerard and Maria Robotbik
@Iangardner09did you not hear what Maria said about *"Not wanting to stay stuck in time??"*
Shadow took it better then I expected. He’s why I like him so much in the games. He has a great character and heart for hard times
@Iangardner09 Yeah, tell me about it
Bruh they actually explained Shadow’s name, that’s crazy. Shadows aren’t darkness, they’re the the pathway to the light that is cast when light interacts with other things. Poetic.

So _yes,_ Shadows _DO_ show you where to find the Light

SHADOW CRIED AGAIN AFTER 23 YEARS MY HEART IS SHATTERED AND HEALING AT ONCE
YOU TEARING ME APART SEGA!!
He smiled too. An actual genuine smile.😭
They made a whole ass bossfight just so they could give Mephiles the biggest middle finger ever. This is like SEGA's way of saying "Fuck you Mephiles, we're not bringing you back. Have fun getting erased again"
Mephiles is essentially a living paradox, and the last resort in case Sega runs out of Eggman plots to adapt to comics, games, or cartoons.
Mephiles being aware he's noncanon and the implication that he was actively waiting for a chance to slip back into the timeline makes this feel like a safe place to leave him off
If sega doesn't want to bring him back ever, he gets a fair send-off in an honestly deserved fate for trying to erase the universe
However said fate also leaves him open to find a way to return IF Sega decides they want him back
Oh yea, bring back baddy from most crappy Sonic game to just spit in his face, made him non canon. What a good way to erase memory of that game.

37:30 I thought this was Metal Sonic, not Metal Ganondorf, why are we suddenly playing Boss Fight Tennis?
This game ruled! Maybe now SEGA will do right by the fans from here on out!!! Hell, maybe we’ll even get a Silver the Hedgehog game someday…
I hope so! That would be so fire if we did!
Same Silver needs a game too
He needs a dlc campaign for this game.
there think about doing a remake of sonic 06

I would even take a silver dlc for this game.
Where is this sudden love for Silver coming from? I’m seeing it everywhere now 😮😮😮🤔🤔🤔
Guess we should wait for a Sonic X Shadow X Silver generations then

51:28 does anyone else feel sorry for mephiles, or is I just me?
54:47 wasn't doom wing already been unlocked?
Not unlocked but we were able to use it once in the first level of the game.
Nah, he's pure evil. If he's wiped out of existence, then good riddance!
Besides... If he's allowed to exist, he could have become an even bigger threat than Black Doom, or even Time Eater!
And let him bring back Iblis? No! He's too dangerous to exist!
Mephiles was so OP That he was to be kicked-out of the Main Timeline and been trapped on his Own "Time-Loop" (Sonic 06)
Kind of funny that Shadow talks about beating Sonic honorably but lets him walk away with a fake chaos emerald
He let him win... It doesn't mean he's going to give up, the invaluable prize....
😏
*_That'd be too easy._*
😂😂 😁
Poor Shadow. He had to lose Maria twice. At least he got to say goodbye this time
Sonic and Shadow are both awesome
Man, this look so fun, i want shadow frontiers. Imagine free world, play as shadow with his new powers
Amazing, thank you so much for posting this! Seeing Shadow's story mixed with a gameplay makes me so happy :)
This is the perfect day to show on my Birthday!! Thank you so much!
"Don't make me laugh!" You never laugh, Shadow.😏
"I'm going to *DESTROY* this _DAMN_ PLANET...
"I AM THE ULTIMATE HEDGEHOG, THIS IS WHO I AM!!"
*Huuhahahahahaha...* _Hahahahahah!!_
Needless to say... it's probably not a good thing, _when_ Shadow laughs...
*_Sadly..._*
😂😂😂 😅 🖤
Since we got Sonic Generations and now Shadow Generations, imagine if we got a Silver & Blaze Generations. I think that'd be cool.
Hmmm... 🤔
Yeah. That would do nicely. Link it to Sonic Generations, just like this game, and make Iblis a boss, like it was done to Mephiles. We could even have Eggman-Nega be the main villain!
I would take it as a dlc for this collection.
35:36 come to get embarrassed AGAIN, Metal Sonic? 🙄🙄
And it isn't even Sonic and his pals beating him again - it's SHADOW, *ON HIS OWN!*
If you ask me, it is double... Maybe even TRIPLE embarassement this time around.

W IGN.
Guys am I the only one to think that there should have been more to the ending ?
I pre ordered this game a month ago for my PS5. I am really excited for it to come out this Friday
Shame that Mephiles couldn't have his original voice
Sega should remake Shadow the Hedgehog and '06 in this engine. Those games deserved better than what happened to them
Agreed 100%, that would be so awesome to see
