Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 was released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 as the first “next gen” Sonic title, but the final game was much different from the original tech demo that was shown a year before. In the game you would have been able to turn into Super Sonic at any given time, but it was left unfinished: it’s called the rainbow gem and it was found by a hacker named Link. Also some concept arts show “Venice”, an early version of Silver.

Beta intro with different camera angles of the boat (at the beginning), different music, different voice acting for Elise, and it skips the part where Elise sees Soleanna in flames

Hehe, looks a ton better at this stage. These are the preview images that Microsoft uses in the 360 marketplace. Can’t blame them.
I found some concept art for “Venice” (or Silver, as he’s now called).
Here’s a link to one: http://shade3c.deviantart.com/art/Venice-2-141952615

In the above comments, remove the period.
VENICE IS SO NOT AN EARLY VERSION OF SILVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE IS SILVER’S TWIN BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET IT RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I KNOW THIS STUFF BECAUSE I HAPPEN TO KNOW THE ONE PERSON ON EARTH THAT KNOW EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT EVERY SONIC CHARACTER THERE IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, so “Cosmo the Seedrian” is pretty much an idiot. The original script that Sonic ’06 was going to use (Yes, I read the early releases of such things.) was calling Silver “Venice” at the time. Elise was also know as “Olga” at the time. It’s just like “Terios,” Shadow’s original name. There’s pure proof on that one, his textures in SA2 and SA2B are called TERIOS whilst his Super form is called SSHADOW.
lol!! It’s always hilarious to see 8-year old morons like “Cosmo the Seedrian” on the internet claiming to know “everything” about Sonic and then posting idiotic drivel indignantly IN ALL CAPS!!!!
If it wasn’t for losers like that, how boring the internet would be.
It’s because of people like “Cosmo” here that the Sonic franchise is in the poor shape it’s in. That’s the demographic that keeps buying these awful games today. Dumbasses whose single digit age is higher than their IQ’s.
Cosmo stop acting like a smart ass
I feel bad for this game. So much wasted potential.
OMG HE IS!?!?!? HOLY CRAP OMGOMGOMG I HAVE TO TELL EVERYONE BECAUSE YOU CLAIM TO KNOW THE ONE PERSON WHO KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT SONIC THAT ISNT FROM SEGA OMGOMGOMG HOLY– Shut up.
I’m from Sega, Hi. I was Fired after the *BOOM* of Sega Employees
