About Hinchy's music rip, I notice some music missing like omochao's hint music before a stage/boss battle. what else is missing from the rip?

That's not actually in the music files, as it's not really music. Most likely it's played as a looping sound effect; I don't know where those are stored.

The only stuff I left out of my rip were the songs that are absolutely unchanged from other games (meant to be used in the Select Music mode) and those "TARGET" mixes (basically midis played through a softsynth -- I can't imagine these are for anything important).

Anyways, does this mean the end of Eggman, since he's trapped with himself in "The Void"? But then Sonic 4 would have never happened after Generations...

Spoiler

But Sonic 4 isn't after Generations, it is after Sonic and Knuckles, because FUCK continuity.

Spoiler

Sonic 4 is an unspecified amount of time after Sonic 3K, Sonic CD and Classic Sonic's POV of Generations. Until Episode II comes along we have no reason to assume anything has changed position in the timeline (both S3K and SCD can stay where we always thought they were, as Sonic 4 supposedly carries on story threads from both of them). 'Fuck continuity'? It seems like they're making a genuine effort. The ending of Generations loosely explains how Classic began to get a grasp on some new moves (which follows into Sonic 4, which has the homing attack), acknowledges the switch-over from Robotnik to Eggman, and follows on directly from Colours.

Fuck continuity indeed. If the next 3D iteration follows directly from Generations as Generations did with Colours, and Sonic 4 Ep II ties up S3K/SCD confusion whilst hinting slightly at Sonic's next adventure from that point (Sonic Adventure), the continuity would be in the best shape it's ever been since the Saturn-Dreamcast crossover and ensuing confusion. :V

This game makes a SUPERIOR effort in fixing a lot of continuity within the series, although some questions still remain. How does Sonic know Blaze and Silver outside of 2006? And...the Egg[men] must have found a way out? It just sucks that [Classic] Sonic had to go through 4 versions of the giant Egg Robo (Sonic 2, 3K, Generations, Sonic 4). This all leads me to the conclusion....either the next 3D game is going to be Sonic 5 or Sonic Adventure 3. But I don't see many more classic games happening between Sonic 4 and Sonic Adventure in the continuity of things...

Of course the Eggmen found a way out, and probably to their original times, too. It's just a sort of reoccurring joke thing that at the end of each recent game, after the credits, Eggman ends up in a situation like this. First time around it is in isolation (in a desert? I forget, it's been a while) with Orbot at the end of Unleashed. Then he ends up in space with his robo-companions in Colours, and this time around he ends up stuck in the abyss of nothingness with himself, at least until the next game comes along which may explain his escape, like Generations explained how he got out of being trapped in space.

Anything not yet explained will hopefully be explained more in the next few games to tie up the loose ends. Except Blaze/Silver/Nega/Solaris - I imagine that's not getting a conclusion anytime soon.

Fixing? hell no... Establishing one... hell yes... linked most of the games together, the early years the character were indeed younger, explain how Eggman came back from the last game, etc... etc..

I noticed in the video with the final boss footage that there was also footage of Modern Super Sonic in levels.

Looks like he can fly now, but when he does, his rings drain SUPER quickly. Might make it a tad easier to get some collectibles, though.

So? Is there any video with the last battle? I tried searching on youtube but wasn't successfull :V I wanna see how does all the "press Y to change between classic/modern" works!

Didn't rush take place before 2006? It would explain why she's in the intro scene.

Seeing this, now I'm now sure if you actually switch between Sonic's, or if that icon means you throw the Sonic you aren't playing as like a cannon against the Time Eater. If that's the case, then the switching is automatic. The music still changes, though. Obviously, Modern Sonic's is in 3D, and Classic Sonic's is in 2D.

I know that nobody cares since the HD version is here but Tropical Resort (Colours) is confirmed to be in Generations 3DS.

Portable history eh Iizuka?

At first I was thinking "Oh that might not be too bad, if they add a little difficulty to the stage, maybe throw in a few of the other wisp powers like FUCKING VOID, it might be fun to revisit".

Well this is lame, I just called up Eight Gamestops to check for a midnight release, none of them are doing it.

So, I guess I only have one option.... TIME TO BUY TWO COPIES BECAUSE I CANNOT WAIT 10 HOURS.

Well, I think Uncharted 3 is having a midnight release.
I'm going to show up like I'm getting Uncharted but instead buy Generations.

That's what I checked for. None of the Gamestops here are doing a midnight release for Uncharted 3. I'm just going to pick up Generations at Wal-mart and again at Gamestop.
