Unleashed at Leipzig: Humans spotted
Ryan Bloom, Editor | August 20, 2008
Gamevideos.com cam footage shows the first very brief glimpse of Sonic Unleashed’s Human NPCs
As Leipzig continues and more outlets continue to play through the hands-on demo, more off-screen footage of Sonic Unleashed begins appearing. The latest is from GameVideos.com, a subsidary of 1up.com, providing a much clearer look at the Mynokos level. However, those with an eagle eye will catch a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it glimpse at a human NPC standing near the start of the level trying to flag Sonic down.
Though difficult to tell as Sonic quickly accelerates past the character, it does appear that he is stylized more like a cartoon character rather than a realistic human. A number of other human NPCs appear just a few feet away from him on the other side of the road, though by then Sonic is moving too quickly to make out much detail.
Stay tuned to TSSZ for more coverage of Sega’s Leipzig offerings.

whoa i like the character model doesnt look out of place or anything very cartoony realistic
There are more humans when you go on, two of them having a conversation outside a house and if you look closely, there are some humans that appear to be on the upper balconies looking down.
These do look Pixar-esque. They are going to take sometime to get used to, but amazingly, they seem to have more detail than the other human style NPCs before them. They fit as well as the levels they’re in, realistic but cartoony.
…a bit more charm too. This…this is nice. I wonder if talking to them during the stages lets you do sidequests on the fly. Man…
Makes me wonder how they’d handle the President of the United Federation and the GUN Commander. Bioware’s take on the GUN Commander is interesting…cartoony realistic as well, but I’d like to see a render. XD
I hope they dont just stand there like statues in the finished product… more in the stages please
