Sonic Unleashed (SD)

Sonic Unleashed
Developer: Dimps Publisher: Sega Platforms:PlayStation 2, Wii

Sonic Unleashed is a 2008 platform video game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. The story follows Sonic as he attempts to restore the world after his nemesis Doctor Eggman shatters it with a powerful laser to unleash Dark Gaia, an ancient evil, while dealing with having become a "Werehog", a werewolf-esque transformation, which he gains after coming into contact with the energy of Dark Gaia. Gameplay features two distinct styles, with each being played either during daytime or nighttime. Daytime stages incorporate Sonic's traditional platforming and trademark speed, with a combination of behind-the-back third-person viewpoints and 2D side-scroller platforming; gameplay seamlessly transitions between these two views.

This page describes the version released for the the Wii and PlayStation 2, commonly referred to as the SD version. The other versions of the game are the HD version released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and the mobile version developed by Gameloft.

File Formats

• .onz/.one (Archives)
• .gno (Models) (Wii)
• .cno (Models) (PS2)
• .gvr (Textures) (Wii)
• .svr (Textures) (PS2)

Tools

• Skyth's xno2dae (listed in the Sonic '06 section), to convert models.
• Sega NN Tools for importing/exporting .gno and .sno files into Blender.
• Random Talking Bush's Sega *NO MaxScript can import .gno files into 3DS Max. Although, it doesn't support the .sno files from the PS2 version.
• Puyo Tools for browsing/extracting .onz/.one archives, and viewing/converting textures. This tool doesn't seem to open some textures from the Wii version however, though it works with those from the PS2 version.
• DKDave's GCAX tool for the extraction of sounds in GCAX audio packs. You can play them back in foobar2000 if the .txth is in the same directory as the files, and you have the vgmstream plugin.
