I'll just post the breakdown

The E3 2005 prototype is a very early build of Shadow the Hedgehog, dated May 27, 2005.
Some differences that have been uncovered, more will inevitably come...

>General/Gameplay
-The disc still identifies itself as Sonic Heroes
-Every shot has recoil, slowing player movement; fast shooting weapons slow you down to walking speed
-Homing Attacking locks your controls until you hit the ground or perform another homing attack
-The Spin Dash is extremely weak
-Rail switching does not account for travel speed. Switching always occurs at a fixed speed
-Rails have a speed cap set, unlike the final version
-There is no checkpoint menu or warping functionality
-There is a warp object at the end of each demo stage that sends you near the start of the stage
-Clearing a mission will still show the regular HUD
-Pressing 'Restart' on 0 lives leads to a game crash
-Weapons have excessive amounts of ammo
-Chaos Controlling past mission characters will despawn them very quickly, as opposed to showing them for a longer duration
-Black Bull (City) has a loading screen, despite bosses not having any in the final version
-The Route Menu is inverted, with Hero paths going up and Dark paths going down
-Westopolis ends early, with no extra geometry present after the end of the stage

>Audio/Video
-Massive soundtrack differences. Some tracks contain lyrics, such as "Tight like Denims on a Fat Ass."
-Contains a not-seen-before rendition of the Sonic Team Logo.
-Voice clips contain leftovers of a more 'mature' Shadow:
>SE_15.adx: "one bad ass hedgehog"
>SE_17.adx: "die you ugly monster!"
>SE_18.adx: "die you bastard!"
>15_SE_14_A: "Hmph! That's all you got, punk?"

>Graphics
-The unused radar asset, previously only spotted in an early screenshot/mockup
-Shadow is more black than in the final, where he appears slightly brown
-The Black Arms create a squirt of violet-red when hurt in this build, compared to the green in the final game
>>
>>729361449
Wonder why they cut it. "Damn" and "hell" are fine, but "ass" was too much?
>>
>>729361928
The other two don't have a sexual connotation I guess

Most of those things are probably just stuff not implemented right in an early build but the recoil thing was originally a mechanic i'd guess? That sounds interesting but would probably suck Sonic's ass (which i'm not here to help) in practice

Heroes is more fun than your favourite game, if you weren't a shitter with double digit IQ and actually knew to use Power characters early on the stage to deal with enemies and swap to 90% Speed late stage when they are at level 2 power or above then maybe you could have fun with it.

>>729369729
The combat and platforming still suck tho
>>
>>729369819
Hold up. The combat, even though it's the best in the series, I can understand shitter not understanding.
But the platforming? What's wrong with it?
There's tons of high and low routes everywhere to reward or punish players. There's basic controls for normies, more advanced techniques for autists (rocketaccel and glide shenanigans) and everything in between (like knowing the tornado can give you a double jump).
Really, this just has to be bait.
>>
>>729361449
>turns out Shadow was originally even edgier that previously thought possible
eh, I was expecting more because of you saying that, we already knew it was going to be a T rated game before E10 was introduced and they suddenly rushed to change things to fit that rating, a few more mild swears being cut was already assumed
>>
>>729370052
Sorry, I have a habit of baiting with titles
>>
>>729369996
>even though it's the best in the series
That's not a huge accomplishment when your competitors are Unleashed and Frontiers...
>There's tons of high and low routes everywhere to reward or punish players.
Not really. Most levels only have a bottomless pit below it. 3D platoforming is also very limited. Most of the time you will be running through hallways, doing homing attack chains, or rail grinding.
>There's basic controls for normies
and they still suck compared to Mario 64.
>>
>>729370052
Jason Griffith said in an interview that Sega has him recording a few lines saying "fuck", they might have been experimenting with some M-rated scenes before dialing it down to T and eventually E10.
>>
>>729365337
too unique how
>>
I don't get Sonic Team's level design. It's like they are afraid of putting in platforming in their 3D platforming games
>>
>>729369603
There wasn't anything worth it, just extensive discordspeak on data recovery efforts.
>>
>>729370775
discordspeak?
>>
>Yeah well I'm not here to save your ass
That actually sounds natural coming from Shadow.
>>
>>729369754
That a multiplatform game dumbass.
>>
>>729361668
>such as "Tight like Denims on a Fat Ass."
holy kek
>>
Every 3D sonic game has ranged from mediocre to garbage
>>
>>729370749
They are, Heroes' engine does not work. If you watch the VOD, you'll see how the obstacles in the test stages resemble absolutely nothing in the game.

>>729371193
Clunky and redundant prose, kinda ESL levels but too relaxed to actually get there. A tell of people who spend too much time on grug-level communications and fall apart when asked to switch gears.

no leaked source code, but there are debug symbols which contain information like functions, global variables, and structs/classes/etc. this would make any decompilation efforts far easier

You can also catch a glimpse of this exact same shot reflecting on Shadow's eyes in one of the game's trailers but I'll leave that for someone else to post here

>>729378574
Prob nothing will come out from this but thanks for the clarification
>>
>>729381921
Leaked source code is clear cut copyright infringement, so using it in a decompilation effort is straight up illegal. Using leaked code is asking to get taken behind the barn by Sega's lawyers. Fruit of the poisoned tree and all that.

>SHIT I CANT FIND THE FOOTAGE OF THE GUY SPINDASHING OFF THE GEOMETRY TO SKIP SECTIONS.
nta but I know it can be good. Still just running is better in 99% of cases to the point most people forget the spindash even exists.
It didn't have to be spammable like in SA1, but they should have made it at least as good as in SA2

>this one somehow feels sane compared to the others
What the fuck happened to Sonic threads the past few years? Feels like they got taken over entirely by literally retarded literal children. They're dogshit, even this one has the same stink..
