We have no clear idea of what's going on in the teaser, but this probably has something to do with the "unusual situation" Sonic is faced with in Unleashed and the images of Wolf Sonic we've seen. We're sure to get more information soon, unless Sega's marketing keeps up its new reversal trend and releases the game before they give out any more information.

Those were the least convincing growl/pain/transformation sounds I've ever heard. I couldn't even tell which of the three it was supposed to be.

It sounded like growling painful transforming sex to me.
Don't look at me like that, people, some like it rough and wolf-hedgehoggy.

It almost sounds like Sonic is singing "When I fall in love" from Sleepless in Seattle

Wait I think I got it, I think this is the main theme for Sonic unleashed just as His world was the theme for Sonic 2006.

I don't think that it's the Sonic Unleashed song, I know i've heard it somewhere before.
also, i will continue to call you a diabolical bastard as long as you keep up with these links. You may not be a bastard in the literal dictionary definition but you are a bastard to me.

Watch the latest soutpark episode.
I have to say that until that southpark episode and the help of some youtube users I ignored the existence of that video. I have seen that guy before but only in gif compilations so basically I just knew who it was but no why he was so famous or should I say infamous?

oh i'm aware of the latest south park episode, I haven't literally lolled at a tv show since the original airings of Family guy Season 1, South Park's latest episode featuring several popular internet meme's made me laugh so hard. i think it was mostly because of the tron guy.
But i'll admit, i'm taking this opportunity to shamelessly promote my own youtube video, (i'm the bassist (also this was...over a year ago) )
any fan of journey should check it out

Shmil well that was good I guess but since is like 1 Am here it wasn't really that funny. I liked more a video called Teen Tips: How to buy alcohol but the people who it make it a private video last week.
I’m going to sleep, here NTAS 20 everyone.

To be honest, same here.
I'm waiting for the reviews for this one. But it does show promise.

Me too meanwhile Sega should release Sonic CD for the VC or Xbox live and maybe PSN.

You hit the nail right on the head there, probation describes it exactly. After playing Sonic Rush (DS) I'm hopeful for the future of Sonic, but Sonic and the Secret Rings was kind of cool but mostly a pain to play and slightly fun, and I've heard the 360/PS3 Sonic sucked balls. But Sonic Rush is a really excellent game that goes back to the series' roots with a few minor twists for the better, I recommend it to anyone who hates modern Sonic games.

I don't get everyone's fixation on the "werewolf" thing.
We don't even know how those sections are going to play yet.
And yeah, it IS cheesy... but this is a game starring a BLUE HEDGEHOG WHO CAN BREAK THE SOUND BARRIER. I think Sega went over their cheese limit LONG before this.
Also, Super Mario Galaxy = MARIO... IN SPAAAAAAAAACE! Still an awesome game.

Eh... so are we getting a "darker, edgier" sonic?
Did the Sonic Team learn anything out of Shadow?
What was the last GOOD Sonic game you played?
Did they actually create a character called "Cream The Rabbit" ?
So many questions.

1) No.
2) Sonic Rush Adventure, or Sonic and the Secret Rings, whichever came later (but all other console Sonics post-Dreamcast sucked)
3) Yes.

Sonic Adventure gets a pass because the Sonic-based levels were actually fun. It was all the fishing, mech, and emerald-hunting garbage in between that sucked.
Also, not just Sonic Rush but the portable Sonic games on GBA were pretty good, as well. The console Sonics went down the tube, but the whole time he lived on inside handhelds, s'just that nobody noticed.

The two Adventures are passable, because it was SONICTEAM'S rookie 3D game, much like Super Mario 64 was for Nintendo. Except in retrospect, Nintendo's rookie 3D game LOOKS awful and PLAYS great, whereas SONICTEAM's rookie 3D game LOOKS great and PLAYS awful.

All they need to do is give Tails the Van Helsing treatment, and I'll buy it for sure.

Just seeing Sega use the word "Adventure" in the teaser makes me groan. Sweet Jesus Sega, I hope you've caught a clue this time and given us more Sonic, and less Adventure.

From Sega.com (were-Sonic will be a day/night cycle thing apparently, and be combat based):
Having been broken apart by the evil Dr. Eggman, it's up to Sonic to put the pieces of the world back together again by retrieving the power of the chaos emeralds! In doing so, Sonic will find himself in a race against time and faced with an unusual situation that will challenge him in ways never before seen. Both day and night play different, yet important, roles in Sonic's newest quest... as the sun sets, a new adventure awakens. By completing a wide variety of action-packed stages, spanning the seven broken continents of the world, gamers will need to unleash Sonic's amazing abilities to save the world, and himself!
Players will have an opportunity to engage in ways never before done with the Sonic franchise, so in addition to running at high speeds, which will be highlighted in four new speed mechanics, combat fighting now becomes possible. New combat, movement, functional abilities and platforming will be introduced to offer increased depth and variety.
Sonic Unleashed will offer a re-defined experience for fans and newcomers of the franchise alike by combing picturesque & detailed scenery, an expansive world with multiple paths to choose from and dynamic viewpoints for an immersive and renewed gaming atmosphere. Along with seamless 3D to classic 2D camera transitions, the game is built on a powerful, new proprietary "Hedgehog Engine," which introduces impressive lighting abilities and new technology tailor made for Sonic's new speed capabilities. Under development for approximately three years, the Hedgehog Engine will help to produce a visually rich next generation look and feel with elements of classic Sonic gameplay components.
