Sonic Generations Megathread II

Yeap. I see it now. This is a damn shame to anyone else who legitimately tried.

And heres the ultimate proof. Both videos played side by side:

 

Total cheat. he says he was trying to mimic the gameplay 1stkirby did, VizardJeffhog basically proved hes just a cheat.

I hope SEGA catches wind of this.

 

It's funny, because the guy says he was trying to mimic Kirby's gameplay exactly. And he manages it to the point of both having the same "time-ahead" at every single checkpoint. So not only did he replicate Kirby's fastest run, he replicated Kirby's second-fastest run without ever seeing it. Bravo, man. You have so much skill.

 

ECC: That's a remix, dude. o.o;
ECM: You're right that time; the remix came from the London 2012 Olympics :specialed:
Doomsday: You like that midi feed? o.o;

I agree mostly with everything else you said, though. The amount of "wtf" isn't just in this music either! I wouldn't be suprised—in fact I'd understand—if people leave Sonic AGAIN after Generations HD JUST brought them back (if it did). SEGA fucked up again. What else is new? As good as Generations HD was, SEGA/Sonic Team desperately needs new management wherever it's fucking up right now, and to let go of DIMPS. It's doing them WAY more harm than good!

Also, if they were re-using music so much, why didn't they pick THIS for Radical Highway instead of that scratch techno wtf-is-this we got?

The sad thing is we might actually have gotten quality remixes if Generations 3DS used that instead of what we got, since time would be spent on either Back 2 Back Classic or Tropical Resort Classic. I think, at least. :/

EDIT: FUCKING FUCK EVERYTHING. This post would have been made earlier if this iTrash didn't crash 3 fucking times. >_____>;

Now that I got my child rage out, *sigh* I just hope Sonic's future is better than this

 

Well the 3DS version looks like shit, glad I'm not missing out on anything.

Still, I do like the level roster. Shame it wasn't utilized very well though.

 

Well there's still hope for a port of the console version to Vita, right? :v:

...right?

 

The hypermikey in that forum seems to have "removed" instead of his eBay link making me think that he was saying that the item was taken down. Later on when people quote him the link is still there and the item is up... either that's him lying or an admin tried to remove the reference from the page and didn't manage every ocurrence.

 

Everyone loves getting on the Dimps hate bandwagon. Especially when a lot of people here haven't even played the game on 3DS yet.

I got the game today, breaking AUS streetdate thanks to EB. I've played through all the levels and have first place on time attack for the first 3 classic levels. The game is great for 3DS, and here's why:

- Classic sonic controls really well. The boost gives the game with the classic levels a new feeling, it definitely doesn't subtract from the game. (This is coming from a nostalgia king)
- Mushroom hill is cool - has all the gimmicks, the seasaw, the curling vine, the twisted branch that hits the ground, the mushroom with weight, bouncing on all mushrooms.
- There are secret routes. Top / Middle / Bottom most of the time. Emerald coast isn't nearly as bad as everyone is saying, there is little water areas, loops, dolphins, gusts of air, the whale, those bomb monkey things, little cave areas, an area where you run along the wall as classic sonic and depending on your speed get send to a different track. There's more variation then just the wooden path for sure.
- Casino night has more variety in modern. It also has the secret walls like in Sonic 2.
- The Time Eater boss is easily better then the big brother generations.

Spoiler

There's a part where he throws clocks at you, in 3D it is very impressive. Hell the whole boss is impressive in 3D

- Thankfully the special stages are not a pain in the ass and are more fun then a chore :D
- Not all missions are unlocked with walking coins. Some are unlocked during gameplay, some are unlocked by playing the time trial
- There's a neat 3D model section to unlock and view in 3D. cooler then big Generations because, well, 3D.
EDIT: I forgot, the big arm boss is pretty epic too.

-They obviously put a lot of effort into this game. Speedrunning it you can tell that there are lots of paths, tricks, and enemies that line up just perfectly. The physics feel close to the larger game.

-It is a shame that there isn't any 3D forward scenes, but really this just gives more platforming sidescrolling areas which a lot of classic people like anyway?

Sometimes I feel the fans don't know what they want. We are divided into modern / classic more then we think - If this game is seen as bad because it has level layouts like the old games, but we want HD versions of the old levels, isn't this it? It felt good going through MHZ, GHZ and casino night in 2.5D. I was close to cancelling my copy after everyone raged on here, but I'm very happy I didn't.

So I see this issue has reached Retro. I've already contacted RubyEcplise and I/we should receive a response today. (And three admins on the Sega Forums have responded!) It's really, really sad that he already got the prize... I only wish I saw the video sooner so the real winner could have been picked in the Uk. :/

Also? I was two steps ahead of him, he tried to set his video to "Private". I downloaded the video before he took it down!

EDIT: Also to somewhat stay on topic: I have decided not to pick up the 3DS version yet, I'll probably see if there is a sale for it. $40 isn't really worth it.

 

Hmm, well I guess that explains why Inuyasha's side-by-side comparison video has so many troll comments in it - seems to be getting spread around a fair bit.

I like how to them, cheating and stealing is A-OK as long as it makes a mockery of the Sonic fandom.

 

So the real winner has been picked in the UK: Greg.

Also, hahahaha, oh man at those comments. This is truly the internet as you imagined it.

EDIT: Figured out why: The video was posted in /v/.

 

I love the 360 PC PS3 version more then the 3ds version. But both are good.
