Does anyone know the sales figures for Taxman's SCD port? I'm wondering if it sold more than Generations. Perhaps it's an unfair comparison, as it's a multi platform DL title. It would still interesting to see.

Well it was at the top of the charts for a while on iOS if I recall correctly, but don't think SEGA released any numbers. Keep in mind that it is a downloadable-only game though, which generally don't make as much as retail games.

Which at the same time, costed a lot less to develop, right?

While testing some custom music last night, I learned that modern Sonic's enemy counter maxes out at 9999. Everything else is still counting up.

After reading that /v/ thread that the "Sega employee" posted confirming Generations DLC, I've been thinking. We already Know Big's voice actor recorded lines for Generations. Omega, Big, Jet and Chip have statues in the Trophy room. The 'employee' leaked that we're getting 4 DLC stages(Ice Cap, Hidden Palace, Starlight Carnival, and Dragon Road apparently).

- 4 Unused friends with trophies
- 4 DLC stages

I always found it odd that Wave and Storm didn't get Statues as they have updated 3D models(unlike characters like Tikal, Marine etc). Someone should get in touch with Omega's VA on Twitter and see if he recorded any lines for the game.

I could just be over-thinking things and talking crap. But I'm tired and such.

After seeing that thread I had the thought that rather than release a major Sonic game again this year, SEGA might just release some Generations DLC. I would be cheaper than producing a full retail game and could possibly bring in much needed money and revive the sales of Generations.

^ Also don't forget, Sega sucks with DLC. Sega released an update to the iOS version of SaSASR like 2 weeks ago. That game came out forever ago.

I believe Hidden Palace would actually be a rival fight against Classic Knuckles. That level was far too short to allow for any sort of recreation beyond that. Hell, it's basically a playable cutscene. But I could totally see Big, Omega, and Jet being hub world characters.

^ that would make sense and would provide perfect symmetry.

Also, there's been a lot of naysayers about the possibility of Generations DLC? In June, why not run a sale of all digital Sonic bits on XBLA, PSN, and Steam, along with Generations DLC to celebrate Sonic's history more?

Unless it was SONIC 2 HIDDEN PALACE



Come on Sega, make a bunch of internet fanboys' dreams come true!

[Trunks]

Feels good, man.

Controls:
A- Boost

Though my camera sucks...



Feels good, man.

ABC - Jump
XY - Spindash
Z - Ability

I switch to a 360 pad for Act 2s. Still absolutely love how they made that as quick as hitting START on any connected controller.

EDIT: Woah, it doesn't auto-resize images anymore. Anyway, forgot to mention:

This controller was one of the PlaySega controllers. The D-pad broke, so I replaced the shell with a real Saturn controller, and it's been amazing ever since.

Thinking about the DLC in July rumor, weren't the Sonic Colors team brought in to help development after Colors finished? Did we ever learn what specifically they worked on?

A year and a half seems like a reasonable amount of time for them to develop those DLC levels, considering it took maybe two, two and a half years for the larger Unleashed team to develop the entire game. While I'm not putting much stock into this rumor myself, just curious as to how viable this is.

[GeneHF]

The whole thing sounded plausible up until Hidden Palace got name dropped. While it would be easy to slap together a level using the interior parts of SSZ Modern and call it HPZ, popular thought is it's Sonic 2's unused level.

Which makes no sense considering it never (officially) existed.

But as always, 4Chan rumor pages are always highly suspect if not straight ignorable. The only reason people give them any thought was thanks to Wentos way back with Unleashed.

[SuperSonicRider]

It could be based off of Lava Reef 2! [assuming it even DOES come out]

...or maybe I'm just hoping for too much. :-P Likely the latter.

Well with Sonic 2's Hidden Palace, SEGA could obviously fit it into the games storyline quite easily

If this DLC rumour is true (Hidden Palace or not), I'm gonna hold off my next runthrough until it comes out

Sigh. Guys, I already deleted posts on the 4chan rumor, and I'm too lazy to do it again, so let me just put it this way.

4chan is full of shit. Like, 99% of the time. Don't post or believe 4chan rumors unless there is good reason.

If it was Hidden Palace it would be the one from S3K, and probably a Knuckles rival fight.

...but as if Sonic Generations sold well enough to get DLC.
