Not sure if this has been mentioned(but it probably has) that Big's VA was credited and he's confirmed on Twitter that he did do he's voice for the game. I wanna know what Big's dialogue was before he was cut from the game. Perhaps this means Omega and Jet were cut too considering they all have random statues in the hidden room?

If we do get DLC, Big needs to be the friend helper character.

I've completed the game now. S-ranked all the bosses and Rivals on normal and Hard mode and now working on the red star rings.

EDIT: Whoios, seems I've posted about the Big stuff before.. Oh well.

I'd kill for another era to be added via DLC, with Big, Jet and Omega being the three extra characters. It doesn't seem likely though considering what we got with Unleashed and '06.

I see there being 5 options they could follow.

1. We get a new era of about 3 or so new levels, maybe another rival or a boss (I'd love to have a classic Knuckles fight). I feel like the games that would be represented here would be Sonic 3, Shadow, and Sonic and the Secret Rings, unless they want to go into left field and pick a portable level, which in that case scratch the last two and put in something from the Advance series and something from the Rush series. Regardless they'd be silly not to include Sonic 3 if they were making new levels.
2. We get new levels using the resources from the boss battles and such, so we would see stuff like Stardust Speedway, Final Chase, Death Egg, Casino Night, and Eggmanland
3. We get an actual new act for the levels that already exist
4. We get hard modes and challenges and stuff.
5. MOAR PINBALL

And then of course there is the chance they won't do anything. While it seems unlikely because of Unleashed and 06, Unleashed did at least make new acts so I'd say we have a chance for that at the very least. Personally I'd like to see them expand the selectable music menu as well, but mainly to apply to every song already in the game. So if I want to play Modern Planet Wisp or original planet wisp in classic Planet Wisp of if I want to play that Sonic 3D Blast theme in sky sanctuary I'll go ahead and fucking do it.

PC version just got a patch, list of things fixed:

Quote

- USA flag is now correctly displayed in Online Mode.
- Fixed an issue where the Shop menu would become unresponsive at low frame rates.
- More accurate timing clock to 60Hz—may fix some issues with fluctuant frame rates.
- Updated default keyboard layout.
- Keyboard controls now correctly support drift.
- Screen display has been sharpened when AA is disabled.

Notes:
- Users of NVIDIA Optimus graphics cards may experience an issue where the Configuration Tool fails to detect the Optimus card. NVIDIA are working on fixing the problem, and will get an update out shortly, during the next driver release window.

- If you experience any other problems, please contact [email protected] with details. To help us identify and fix the issue, please provide as much information as possible on your PC hardware, and the issue that you're experiencing.

Hey patches. This is good to know as it gives me hope they'll fix a few of the quirks on the console version like the disappearing floors, the glitched gamer pictures in online mode, and dipping frame rates on speed highway

And Kyle is credited even though Big isn't really even in the game. =P

SEGA patching the PC version?

HNNNNNNNNG

They do love us. I feel glad I gifted the game to five people now.

[Covarr]

Well, this patch isn't perfect, but it's a start. My framerate has been noticeably more consistent (GTS 250, C2D E7300 @ 2.6Ghz), and it's not screwing up the resolution when AA is turned off, but I've still got massive quickstep issues.

To anyone encountering the online mode crash (which I am): Did any of you buy the game through GreenmanGaming? I have a hunch that we may have gotten a EU-specific copy of Generations when we plugged in our unlock codes. If nothing else, it would be a correlation amongst those having issues.

...so if you're one of the guys who can't access online, speak up!

I got my copy from GreenmanGaming and I have had literally no issues with the game, besides the shop lag. I haven't had one crash, freeze, FPS drop, Online issue, or anything. And I've beaten the game, missions and all.

Nice to know someone's working on that problem.

Some of you are blowing these PC glitches way out of proportion. I understand that you're having them, but it seems to be a system-by-system thing. In about 30 hours of playtime, I've never once encountered any of those glitches. And I have been speedrunning and doing some fairly weird things. What bothers ME is that, after about five minutes of play, the framerate permanently drops from 60 FPS to about 30, and I've yet to figure out why.

Still, even that's not a widespread issue (seems to be affecting people with fairly new ATI cards), and writing off the game as a glitchfest for everyone just because you're having some problems seems insincere.

Nonetheless, Sega definitely needs to release a patch to resolve some of these issues. And FFS, why isn't Casino Night enabled?

Truth to be told I only died / had to reset due to a glitch only a few times.

Most of the time I simply fell off the level due to crap controls / level design.

However it's blown out of proportion because it significantly reduces the gameplay experience, makes things unenjoyable in general.

When it's been re-released in it's original form, it's had the music intact. The one time it was re-made it had the music changed. I don't think it's a coincidence that Generations didn't have those three tracks, especially when they're (arguably) the most memorable from the game.

Sonic 3's ROM has been re released, not a remake like the PC version.

I think it is a coincidence. Also, Launch Base music the most memorable? Not to me.
The PC version of S3K was a straight port, it shouldn't matter legally that it's not an emulation. Besides - Sonic Jam says hello! (Hint: Sonic Jam is no emulation either...)

Chimpo, on 11 November 2011 - 12:12 AM, said:

Please get an actual source to back up this bullshit. This is just stupid speculation.

Exactly!

Yeah, Sonic Jam and the DS collection (as far as I can tell on the latter at least) both use streamed audio which could have been easily replaced with something else, but then, it's possible that the story and rights to the music are even more fucked up that we expect.

Are you in the UK, or elsewhere?

You still install the game with Steam, so people that bought it from Green Man Gaming shouldn't have any more issues than people that bought it from Steam.

Yeah, that's what I'd assume.
