Genius marketing strategy from SEGA right here. Get a famous UA-cam animator to make an animation and then have some Hype Guy react to it to get people hyped.
A much better and well received strategy compared to having an ex-animator make a subpar parody song about big the cat. Big and Sonic deserved better than that.
@@Miju001 Yea but I didn't expect stuff like "Shadow the Edgehog" to be allowed yknow lol, i'd asume they'd make him "tone it down" a bit or sum but they didn't and i'm really happy about that
Lancelot was always known as an alternate version of Shadow that never experienced everything our Shadow experienced. Same goes for Gawain (Knuckles) and Percival (Blaze)
Plus the Blacksmith (Tails) and the Lady of the Lake (Amy). And the variations in Secret Rings, with Ali Baba (also Tails), Sinbad (also Knuckles), that one king (Eggman. Kinda surprised he never appeared in the next SB game, but it makes a bit of sense as well considering Tails took the Blacksmith spot). I know it's a little obvious, but I just wanted to mention it :)
@@GamesCageYeah in the storybook games the Storybook characters (not Sonic) just look like our guys, but are actually the same characters from that story's universe.
5:19 right here gotta be my fav part. Not only because it's extremely relatable but links that Sonic Battle happened after Shadow the Hedgehog more clearly and openly.
Remember in the book series (secret rings and black knight) the characters sonic meets are not his ACTUAL friends, they're the characters from their respective stories (Aladdin and King Author respectively) that just happen to take the form of sonic's friends (sonic has mistaken them to be his friends in both games only to immediately been told he's wrong).
TerminalMontage getting to do an official video for Sega is so cool man. I always love when content creators I love get to work with officials to create content that feels right. The best thing about it is this short felt right at home with the others, peak on peak.
It's super ironic and xtra funny how this is almost one of the most "child friendly" Terminal Montage videos out there, and with Shadow of all characters lmao! But still super fun and chock full of fan details, glad for Terminal Montage!
What made this 10/10 for me what having NO IDEA it was an ad. I just thought it was a cool little video from Mr. Terminal so the ad at the end was SHOCKING. I don’t use Twitter, lol.
nah man I follow the TerminalMontaje channel and I didn't expect this, it was a big surprise (he also made an animation of Sonic The Hedgehog 1 and 2 btw)
All the GUN Soldiers playing Typing of the Dead to avoid using guns was freaking hilarious! And then Shadow had the OmoChao gun! XD Not to mention we got Emerl AGAIN, Rivals and SECRET RINGS MULTIPLAYER, and they even referenced the Sumo Digital spin offs like Tennis and Team Racing. The fact this is an official trailer is just beautiful because it is so chaotic but so perfect.
I love the detail of the G.U.N. agents not using firearms in the ARK raid, but the Typing of the Dead backpacks. A clever reference to a previous animation AND another Dreamcast title.
Yeah, it's amazing that companies like SEGA are so open to letting fan animations be part of their media. Think they obviously had to trade out the guns for keyboards and the like, but still giving Terminal Montage this kind of opportunity is just such a massive win for the franchise.
The fact Sega got TM to make a something about Shadow the Hedgehog animation and got him to collab with marketing on SXSGens really makes me happy and proud for how much ambition Sega is delivering on for this game! :D
Wait wait wait! The official Sonic channel got Terminal Montage to make a video for them? I thought he did it on his own! Oh my god, this is just insane!
Bro I already was a fan of TerminalMontage and waiting for his next animation, after I watched it and saw the end my jaw dropped lol. W Sega and TerminalMontage
they actually a Q&A collab with a lot of social media artists on…..social media 😂 including TM a while back, so they’ve been tapped in with stuff like this for a minute
Dude, I love Terminal Montage's animations, so you KNOW if he uploads a new video, I'm all here for it. The fact that this video was an advertisement for Sonic X Shadow Generations is cool, one of Montage's videos is finally endorsed by Sega! Way to go Montage.
Maybe you could make a vid on this but two things: 1. Sonic Battle canonically after Shadow ‘05?? 2. Is the Shadow in Shadow Generations from a post-Frontiers part of the timeline??? Evidence for point 2: Chaos Island (obviously) and Classic Sonic represents past and Modern Sonic represents present. The speedrunning through Shadow’s journey brings us all the way through to Forces and Murder of Sonic…and the Time Eater technically controls all time.
Technically Both Generations is Post Colours and since White Space is able to transcend through Future,It makes sense that Sunset Heights and Chaos Island exist even though Shadow never been to Chaos Island and Hasn’t been to Sunset Heights yet
6:26 That's Sir Lancealot, in Sonic and the Dark Knight Sonic is the only character from other games in there, but there are plenty of other characters that are the knights of the round table. Lancealot is Shadow, Gawain is Knuckles, Percival is Blaze and the two that don't appear in the game are Gallahad as Silver and one other whose name escapes me but is Jet. Tldr, it's a different continuity with a different name

We won

2:18 Took me a sec to remember what "the thing" is. When he jumps in front of the moon.
TerminalMontage animations are hilarious and great. Awesome how sonic team loved this sonic animations and asked for him to do a shadow video. 🖤❤️

This is brilliant. This is what marketing should look like. Sega is cooking with the release of Sonic X Shadow Generations! 🤩🤩🤩

Its not often an official endorsed Sega product remembers Rivals (properly because it never released in Japan) so its nice to see it here.
Underrated subseries. Rivals 2 was awesome!

Yeah. In sonic and the black knight all the characters are instead named as characters from the king Arthur stories. So shadow is lancelot
