Shadow in Virtual Reality REIMAGINED - 3D Fanmade Sonic Animation [ENG/ESP] 

This is my version of what happened when Infinite trapped Shadow in Virtual Reality. I wanted to explore the scrapped concept of Infinite taking many forms, especially him transforming in Shadow's close friends. I included some unused lines from the game files to make this happen, so I hope you enjoy it! Make sure to enable subtitles for a surprise! Thank you guys for all the support!

Now THIS is what Infinite taunting Shadow would be like. Great job.

Now THIS is what Episode Shadow should've been. Just Infinite tormenting and messing with Shadow's mind for months. Fantastic animation!

If the Forces had this in the final product, it would make the game better. this would show how dangerous Infinite is, what Shadow has been dealing with for 6 months, that he cares a lot about his friends, and would make the scene where Shadow saves Sonic from the fake Shadow more satisfying

This is really phenomenal! The perspective of Shadow being in an endless loop illusion, it's just... wow! Who knows if he'll reach reality. I'm utterly speechless at the amount of work you put into all of your animations! Great work!!

"Of course I'm me, just like you are you" Infinite hitting him with the "am I a copy" crisis?!? That was amazing

I always wondered what Shadow was doing those six months. It never really occurred to me Infinite could have been keeping him trapped all that time. Definitely a creepy concept. The animation is amazing! Really a chilling vibe.

shadow's voice in forces was kinda underatted. Probably Kirk's best performance as the black hedgehog. he sounded way more mellowed out and less like a comic book villain

I love the animation so much! I also love that you added Maria into this one (as if she was prepared for the last). I'm starting to really love your versions better 😆

NO WAY ! No freakin way you really pulled the Maria card ! Oooh the angst is real ! Imagine ! It's been 15-20 years but imagine ! What if Infinite knew about Shadow's past, about all his dark secrets. If Mephiles was also originally planned in Forces...and past villains (like Chaos) are back.... Ok. First of all. Great video ! Amazing as always ! I absolutely LOVE this virtual world with all the purple stuff flying around (that other Forces animation you created is still my favourite to this day) It's really like being stuck in a dream, a nightmare, you know feels wrong, yet so real, you can not escape. I love the effects, Rouge's echoing voice, Shadow falling deeper & deeper into this "dream" (it reminds me of a Frozen 2 scene) and the floor being like a "mirror". The expressions are absolutely top notch. Rouge when she talks about that "smashed up tin can". Shadow's pure disbelief and disgust. But also fear and shock. Fans keep giving him expressions, I never thought were even possible ! I absolutely love those wide eyes ! OMG ! The absolute disbelief, horror and shock when he sees Omega & all his friends/allies. And freakin Maria ! No freakin way !!!! Dude ! The ending totally gave me Sonic.exe vibes. "You can not escape !" I was even wondering if it's the real Rouge, if he finaly escaped & woke up from that nightmare. Or if it's still a fake Rouge/Infinite in disguise. I knew it ! I totally called it ! And still it caught me off guard like a jumpscare XD It's sooo good ! And that song ! It's so "peaceful" & harmomic yet still gives me this vibe....that something is not right. Now that's how you torment and break (?) Shadow ! That's how you mess with him ! Part of me wishes we saw something like this in the actual game

Holy crap. This is amazing! Criminally underrated! The Maria touch is perfection along with actual good audio mixing!

I hope they can delve into this kind of story in the upcoming Shadow Generations or even a different game in the future. Shadow needs more of a highlight since he technically made “Infinite”.

We're screwed. We're not getting anything like this gem.

WHATTT?!?! THIS IS INSANEEE, I LOVE THE IDEA OF THIS SO MUCH?!? This is literally how ep shadow should b in sonic forces!! I love this so much😭💖 Its unexplainable!!!!

After forces i wasn't interested on sonic anymore until the sonic live action movie came around and my interest towards sonic increased so much

I recently discovered your channel and I am blown away by the animation and editing quality of your videos. This is legitimately soooooo good! Oh, and putting Maria in this scenario... *chefs kiss* PERFECT. Sonic Forces had potential and with just 2 minutes, you managed to capture its essence amazingly.

after seeing Maria, shadow would NOT let that shit slide.

INFINITE PULLING THE MARIA CARD THO 💀

This should’ve been in the actual game it’s so cool

The song at then end is so good when you have your headphones on

This is phenomenal being a infinite lover this is what we need from infinite

This reminded me of various nightmare/self-doubt scenes in anime, from which there is a lot of inspiration to take from. For instance, Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters (or more precisely the 3rd part The Planet Eater), ARMS, Phi Brain... Or in games, I'm eager to see FF7 Remake's rendition of Cloud re-exploring his past while fighting Sephiroth in his own mind. The twist at the end is also reminiscent of some "You're still in the nightmare / virtual world" scenes (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina). However, putting all of this in a proper animation and making it work is something else, good job! There's one thing with "impostors" though is that to make them worrying, they have to stay around the valley of the uncanney, a bit far but avoid crossing it, and they will be immediately spotted as fake. I think it's okay for short scenes (bloody eyes) or right before Infinite reveals himself, but otherwise I think it's more disturbing when you think "Wait, it's something my friends could actually say." The "I'm not weak" sentence from OMEGA seems like an echo from Infinite's own words (revealed in Episode Shadow). It's also something I'd say if people provoke me, and the Episode Shadow reveals how Shadow "created" Infinite from disdain. Infinite's desire to make Shadow suffer may have been even stronger than against Sonic, whom he hadn't meet before, or the Avatar, who was also a "nobody" (Infinite could have felt some empathy for the Avatar for this reason but there is no such thing in the game, the Avatar remaining quite flat and not too emotionally involved - in a sense, the character the most likely to resist Infinite's power - he was only sent into physical nightmare made of red spikes...) Maybe by showing more respect to his opponent, could have Shadow prevented Infinite from becoming like this.

Anyone still watching this masterpiece in August 2024? If this was a movie I would definitely watch it

This was so smoooooooth!!!!! Awesome job! I love the work you did on Shadow's shocked face and his wide eyes. It's always fun to see fan animations give him more expressions.❤

What the crap… this is the best animation I’ve ever seen in my life

Absolutely incredible! You top yourself with every new video! WELL DONE!

Why am i crying 😭 this is so amazing!!! The song and the animation!! I love it❤I'm thinking that this is a peak!

"Of course I'm me, just like how you are you." I love you put that in, how such a simple line like that can still get to Shadow because of his identity crisis. Hope your love for animation is still strong even if YT isn't working right now

Oh my god, this is incredible both from a conceptual and cinematic standpoint!!

Well damn holy shit okay that was chilling and beautiful. As much as i dislike 'trailer-style' music, you made it work, and the song is very fitting.

This is amazing and so well done, the animation is so clean, the music is fitting and the perspective. Great Job.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This is what episode shadow should’ve been instead of a 1 min 3 level dlc it should’ve been about infinite tormenting shadow

That.... was terrifying

... DUUUUUUDE, THEY MISSED SUCH AN OPPORTUNITY!!!

This is absolutely gorgeous.. I cannot tell you how much I love this! 😭

Omg I Ok this was so epic! This is definitely what would've happened in episode Shadow! Love this so much! Keep it up!

Whoah it looks so incredible! The animation is top notch! (As always) and the visuals are really impressive! I have a question, have you added the gmitch effects in post-production or are they part of the project's raw render? In any case, have a nice day/night and I hope to see more of your art despite youtube's bad monetization system!

This was an amazing animation and I absolutely loved it💙💛👏

Dude this is awsome. Who knows if Infinite ever come back, but if he does, i would love to see something like this, especially since we still don't know what the heck happend to him at the end of Forces.

This gave me goosebumps… and the song was perfect. Amazing job 👏Really wished they delved into this more and the game would have been so much better.

I need to know what music did you use. 😲 Anyway, it's awesome! Chef's kiss! ❤

HOLY COW THIS IS PEAK

Wow, that was delightfully disturbing! Great job! 👍

OH MY GOOOOSH AHHHHHHHH THIS IS AMAZINGGGGGGGG I ALWAYS IMAGINED SOMETHING LIKE THIS IM LOSING MY MIND This is incredible! 👏👏👏

El potencial que nunca le dieron a infinite

OH MY GOD??? OH MYGOD. THIS IS AMAZING?

Wow

You are the embodiment of talented!!!!!❤️❤️❤️💛💖❤️💖💛💛❤️❤️❤️

Can I have the original?

i saw a clip of this vid and ive been hunting it down for days, now ive seen it its even better than what i thought!!!!!!!!!

Why is this go so fuckin hard? I feel the work behind it. This is good, no. Great. I mean Awesome. Oudstanding! AMAZING!!!

Ooooohh! Very cool!!

F for shadow man😔☹️

Major “Inception” vibes 😮

If Shadow the Ultimate Lifeform never returned (between Sonic Heroes-present) in the first place, none of this would have ever happened. Infinite the Jackal would never exist at all. But it's already too.

Strong animation🖤👍

Only I've been watching this animation for the hundredth time? (Please tell me what the song is at the beginning and the performer. Thank you)

THIS IS SO UNDERRATED WHAT ITS SO GOODDDD

What’s the song?

Incredible as always!!
