Jak and Dextar/Ratchet and Clank are just platformers with guns for a distance attack. Hopefully Shadow wont be as shallow.
The 3-D Sonic games have always lacked gameplay in my opinion and there were always rocket launchers, cannons, machine guns and what not.
I mean they have an echidna that floats and punches things, a mutant fox that flies like a helicopter, a female hedgehog with a giant hammer and some other animals that were one-game-wonders. If they want to make something original they need to go outside the usual paradigm of thinking for Sonic games.
Nintendo made Wario who spanks his ass, cheats, lies has giant muscles and is a greedy bastard with money. Shadow is just Sonic's Wario, and it makes sense that he has a gun... though laser eyes or a shoulder mounted thing like Predator might have been more suiting for the sonic universe. I guess Sega just wants to take it extremely dark.
You gotta remember, back in the day Sonic was the badass mascot. A Mario with attitude. So Sega's trying to bring their mascots back in to today's market which is alot more hardcore than it used to be. Maybe Shadow can piss on his foes after capping them.
