Sonic Generations Megathread

Bit soon to be jumping around, don't you think? It's not like the game still has time in development.

 

Everytime we get impressions no one ever remembers to analyze the rolling physics.

Oh well not a big deal, I'm glad to hear this game is shaping up to play really well.

 

All this new footage is getting me increasingly stoked to see Planet Wisp in beautiful HD.

That stage will probably be fun as hell.

 

What are you talking about? There are some physics improvements immediately visible in the videos. TimmiT said after playing the 3DS version that they fixed the stopped momentum, and that loops worked properly. I wouldn't go so far as to say the physics are GOOD, but it's pretty obvious they're not simply ignoring them.

 

50 dollars isn't THAT bad :P. Our own country wants $85 from new games, or even $93. Your $40 and 50 dollar is damn cheap combared to our game prices here. That's why I stopped buying from here and buying from GAME.

 

They already confirmed there's no stages form the Game Gear games, and there's only 7 stages on the 3DS version.

Courtesy of MarcelloF at SSMB, this is from Gamescom- boxart, release date, development progress is 70%, number of players, USK. The details are the same for all three versions. 70% sounds way too low for a game that being released in November, no?

He also got this video where he tried to show of the physics in Classic Mushroom Hill


Compared to the Rush games and S4, he certainly can't climb walls very easily.

 

I haven't played Unleashed for a while, but control-wise it seemed pretty much the same. Maybe they improved it a bit, but I can't tell at the moment. There was more platforming than Unleashed usually has though.

 

Looks like that place where special stage had to be, there's a trap. Special stage was the thing I wanted to know when I saw the Mushroom Hill gameplay.

 

Actually, I did get to the part where the special stage was supposed to be, but instead of there one giant ring that takes you to it there were a bunch of rings forming a bigger ring.

 

Nice touch by the 3DS developers there! Even things like that makes the game produce smiles (forgetting it being inferior to the main versions).

 

It's not a trap, but a glitch that made him fall through the floor.

Update-

Another video of Classic City Escape (PS3):


Modern Mushroom Hill. Don't get too excited- the play sucks and the video is very short. At least you can hear the music, which sounds very similar to the original.


Another update-

Digital Spy Preview

That part in italics sounds amazing!

 

Hmm, tbh the 3DS version doesn't look as bad as I thought. Still not going to buy it or a 3ds, but I'm glad to know that Dimps is actually stepping up this time around =D

 

I... I think that is the original. I hope I'm wrong, but it doesn't seem like they've changed the music at all. >.>

 

I think so too. Hopefully, it's just a placeholder until the real one's done or something...

 

Well, let's see. We have the same title screen, menu and Green Hill music (both acts) as the console version. Then we have a pretty weak rendition of the Doomsday music, which is incorrectly used and two versions of Mushroom Hill that sound (almost?) exactly like the originals. The music on the 3DS version isn't going to great.

 

I have to be honest, the 3DS version is shaping up better than I expected. Not perfect, but I guess I'm a little less apprehensive for Sonic 4: Ep2, now.

 

I hate how people keep lying to themselves and acting like its "shaping up" or "getting better". Lets face it, its not. We have dimps being lazy as fuck and using the EXACT SAME LEVEL LAYOUTS as the original because they can't come up with anything good themselves. Modern sonic's level looks plain and linear as fuck, completely unappealing. The music is horrible or stolen from the console version. It just plain looks lazy and hashed up.

Bottom line, I'm not lowering my standards for this excuse for a game.

And to make this post clear, its about the DS version.

 

While I don't think the 3DS version is a piece of shit, I'm not going to buy it for full price. I rather have new level layouts instead of old ones, but I might still buy it for half the price.

 

Well, for me it's either this on the 3Ds or MarioKart 3Ds, and MarioKart eats this game up. But I'll buy it at a later stage.
