Sonic Generations Megathread

So what level was it supposed to be in the new demo, Green Hill Zone modern? I'm sorry if it has been answered but I haven't seen anything about which stage we're getting...

 

Green Hill with Classic and Modern.

 

Yep the level is GHZ Modern and Classic, so even if its GHZ again at least we can compare the builds and play as modern Sonic this time.

EDIT: Ninja'd. Also where is this demo?

 

Ah ok, well that's cool, I would kind of prefered a different stage but like you said we'll be able to compare the different builds of the game and classic vs. modern as well. I just hope this one isn't on a time limit lol.

 

Dance Central 2 demo was just put up. First demo of the day.

Just gotta hold out now.

 

You can also search on Xbox Live and see if it's put up yet.

EDIT: Getting errors on Xbox.com, seems like it's being updated.

 

This is irrelivant but I coulda sworn Sonic 06 was T o_O And my now collecting-dust copy of Shadow says rated T... Odd. Confusion on my part maybe.

Still, saw Sonic Generations on XBL, but it wasn't downloadable. After a nice wtf session I found it wasn't even a demo page, more like an upcomming game page o_o

 

You should be able to put the demo in your download queue from here when it gets put up: http://marketplace.xbox.com/Product/Sonic-Generations/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80253450848

 

Unfortunately for me I must wait on the PS3 version of the demo. I have to wait another day. T-T

 

Thing is, if Generations was going to have DLC levels, don't you guys think they would have mentioned such a thing already?

I mean, it would be a strong selling point rather than something they don't want people to know about.

 

I don't think they would mention such a thing before the game is even out.

 

If they did then it would look bad on them, at least in my opinion, planning DLC ahead of time is usually frowned upon, especially when devs stick the DLC content in the disk and force people to pay just to "unlock" the content. So the fact they aren't announcing means that if and when they do it will actually be extra DLC content as opposed to stuff that was all planned ahead and put in before the game was even released.

 

"Planning" DLC ahead of time is almost necessary. If there's no way for such content to be implemented into a game to begin with, well, DLC is kind of hard to implement. That's not the same thing as making DLC alongside the game itself and just staggering the release of the DLC so you can ride out the money-train, though.

 

It can be seen as a selling point, but it can also not look very good for SEGA by it's fans. Announcing DLC before the game is announced is one of the reasons people don't like Capcom.

 

Well I suppose I should have phrased it better. What I meant was it looks bad when a company puts DLC stages on the disk and don't allow access to it without paying extra money. That isn't really what DLC should be, it's basically putting all the content there but charging people extra for something they already, techincally had. Capcom is one of the major examples of this among a few others.

EDIT: DLC is usually supposed to be, either planned or created because of the disk space limitations and/or time contstraints, sorry, I should have been a little more descriptive to begin with...

 

Still not updated with the demo. :/

 

Not yet :/ The other one was up by 11am. Guess we'll just have to hang on a little longer

 

When I first heard of "Sonic Anniversary" and it's 'best of' levels in HD up to SA2, I thought of the Genesis-era games being recreated in full HD, S2HD-style, and the Adventure levels' models/physics upgraded to fit in with today's standards. All thrown into one disc (or downloaded seperately/in a pack through XBL/PSN). Oh god, I remember thinking this was going to be orgasmic...

But what we got is okay too.
