Sonic Generations Megathread

Que?

 

For those interested in the 3DS Version, The Site That Shalt Not Be Named got an interview with Aaron Webber about Classic's Homing Attack:

I'm willing to bet that it's unlockable or something. I don't even think DIMPS would be stupid enough to make it a permanent (or required) move...

Also, the question is not if there is a thought process, but if there is a legitimate, and thorough thought process.

 

The real lyrics are actually on the wiki. Look them up. I would but I'm posting from my phone.

 

Amazon don't charge you until the item is dispatched. I'm in the UK and I pre-ordered mine the day pre-orders opened on Amazon. So just make sure there's money in your account a few days before the 4th and you should be fine ^_^

I'm currently playing through '06 for the first time ever (that game is surprisingly difficult to get for less than £20 in the UK) and I'm actually really looking forward to the new Crisis City. Music should be excellent. Though playing through this game is giving me a sore head.

 

You're right. I'm certain that there was once different lyrics on that page though, because one of the lines is " There's no trickery in this show" which doesn't appear on that page.

 

The whole track lyrics might be on the multi-dimensional booklet.

 

I'd assume it has something to do with the Commander realizing Shadow wasn't to blame for the "accident" on the Ark and taking Gerald's speech to heart. Without his obsession with hunting Shadow down, and the staff from 50 years ago no longer in charge, GUN is essentially a world peace-keeping organization. If I'm not mistaken, Chronicles also portrays them as such.

Plus, despite that Shadow stopped harping on his past, it effectively lets him honor Maria's last wish (give them a chance to be happy/give hope to humanity) as a full-time career.

Honestly despite all the things 06 did horribly wrong, Shadow as a character was handled pretty well. Better than in his own game, even.

 

Played Generations at NYCC, can't talk much now, jumping was fixed and the level was City Escape, I only played classic, metal sonic boss in 3DS, not very fun, also talked to Aaron Webber on camera asked tons of questions, should be up soon gtg ily guys

 

Looking forward to your interview dude!

 

Rolling?! I already know the answer to that... glad to hear that jumping is good. How do you mean fixed? It's more physic based?

 

Great find!

I couldn't resist that price. Looks like I'm getting both the PC version and Xbox 360 Collectors edition ^^;

 

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but Amazon is finally offering release date shipping for both versions of Generations.

I've upgraded my order for it since it's only a dollar more, and it also helps that I have the pre-order drop price for the PS3 version.

 

Sadly no new information to report, except some news from the Sonic 20th Anniversary tweet account that supposedly are coming today.
Also, a wallpaper I made.

 

Well that's Sega of America's view anyway. I think Sega of America and Sega of Japan have different views on which sonic games are canon. I can't be the only one that remembers SoA's "Sonic Bible". Not that it matters, seeing Shadow being canon is pretty cool.

Also, that employee makes a critical mistake here:

. Sonic Generations, this game, would like to have a word with him. 06 is now canon bro thanks to generations (if its canon)

 

I like to think of Sonic 06's occurrence in this game as a linear timeline of Sonic's life. Basically something like this (Starting from Shadow)

Shadow the Hedgehog ------------- Sonic 06 ----- *history erases itself* ------------ Unleashed

which would translate to this

Shadow the Hedgehog --------------------------- Unleashed

While Sonic reverted back to the time before Sonic 06 ever happened at the end of the game, if taken in a purely linear fashion, Sonic would still go through Crisis City, however there is a good chance he'll have absolutely no recollection of ever being there. Plus, the whole Time Eater thing allows anything to happen whenever since it's fucking with time. Events that were erased happened, events that happened long ago are being revisited, Events that happened in the future happened again, classic meets modern. Whatever.
