Sonic Generations Megathread

The demo was certainly fun to play through, and I intend on playing it a few more times while I still can. Though, I am a little disappointed the demo was classic only.


As for the leaked level list, I don't really have any issues with it, though the inclusion of an 06 level is kind of surprising. I figured that they would ignore that game altogether.

Make it happen.

 

Well, aside from those really dumb level choices, what's up with the lack of Robotnik boss battles? Even the Genesis levels have an odd lack of Robotnik.

 

Meh, you take the good with the bad. If anything, I'm hoping '06 gets treated like the joke it is, and I'm curious to see what magic Classic Sonic and the present-day Sonic Team can work to make Crisis City and the Silver boss actually good.

 

His textures were ripped and posted on here. He's definitely in the game if you were worried about that.

 

I gotta say I'll be surprised if Flicky doesn't make a cameo somewhere in this game. More than any other side-character in the series, flickies have been closest tied to the series and sega. Shit, flicky himself predates Sonic the Hedgehog.

 

Referring to the boss list, I think. We have "Death Egg" and Egg Dragoon. And then everything else. I don't personally care, beyond my apprehension regarding SEGA's poor track record with character battles...

 

Got a link to the textures? I'd like to check them out.

 

DAMN IT, I just realized. Crisis City means Classic Sonic is going to fight Iblis mooks. Why can't I picture that with a straight face?

 

holy shit

Classic Robotnik?!

 

Classic Sonic is going to think Crisis City is a bad acid trip or something.

 

I just imagine Classic Sonic after running through Crisis City, turns around to his slenderman green eyed cousin and slaps his shit.

Also.



This is beautiful.

 

That was a + - horrible   ending. ;_;

 

An uphill incline! My one weakness!

Reminds you of the good ol' days, before Sonic 3 endowed Sonic with improved uphill running ability...

 

Wow. Okay, looks like I missed a LOT.

Level choices? Meh. It's got Chemical Plant, Speed Highway, and Casino Night. I'm straight.

And you get to fight Perfect Chaos again, fuck yearrrrr. Disappointing that the extra Acts are more or less bullshit 'find X' or 'race Y' missions. Hopefully they'll at least try to make it interesting and the extra stuff makes up for it all. Overall I'd say I'm still excited about this game. Bring it on, son.

 

Having a look through the file structure on the PS3 version there's 2 folders with one being called ghz100 and the next ghz200. Now I can't file switch these around to see if there's the modern zone in it because the PS3 version wants to update time via internet to even play the demo, dose anyone know a way around it? The ghz200 is twice as big. (using a custom firmware PS3).

Also there's 2 stage files (one in each folder) that an extension of pfd. The ghz200 is bigger again. (this was after unpacking the bb.cpk file)

 

I think so. I was looking in GAME yesterday to see do GAME have any preorder bonus and I saw PC game and downloads for 17 pounds: <a href="http://www.game.co.uk/Games/PC-Games-and-Downloads/Party-Mini-Games/Sonic-Generations/~r355408/?s=sonic+generations" target="_blank">http://www.game.co.uk/Games/PC-Games-and-D...nic+generations</a> party miny games o_O? Huh?

And I am also happy to hear the shields are coming back. My fav was the electric one and I hope it will work the same way in SG.

 

Man did I miss a lot today, I'll start by saying the ripped music for Green Hill Zone and everything else sounds amazing. I love Modern Green Hill's remix very much and the Classic Invincibility music is the shit. I love it and can't stop listening to it lol and also am digging the Title Screen music that sounds like a cross between Sonic 1's and Sonic 2's. About damn time we heard those kind of themes again. It's nice to have Nakamura back and involved again. I had a strong feeling that supposed leaked list was real and it seems I was right. That sucks 5 city tropes and 2 tropical tropes, not much variety at all....and I really wish they treated Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles as separate games so we can see levels like Hydrocity or Carnival Night Zone make an appearance.

And no Sonic CD at all? That's horrible why no CD love, it had beautiful levels I'd love to see in HD and awesome music that's a real shame. However the Metal Sonic boss can make up for it if its Stardust Speedway and the epic race scene. It'd be really lame if it was Sky Sanctuary where you fought him instead. The list and the exclusion of CD has disappointed me but there are still a lot of great things this game is doing that I'm excited about and even though the list is bland on the variety at least the levels all look unique and seem to have their own gimmicks. I can assume there is a lot of Chemical water areas in Chemical Plant Zone and it looks to be the same for Ocean Palace Zone which actually doesn't look so much like Green Hill Zone but more like a tropical water ruin like area which is great.

I think I understand why CD might have been left out and Sonic 3 wasn't treated as its own game, because they wanted 3 levels per era according to that list and the cutscene transitions and the other stuff found in the demo. You have Classic, Dreamcast, and Modern, makes sense but I really hope they have DLC of different levels later on. I'd love to see levels like Hydrocity, Metropolis, and others appear as DLC later on and its a good way to add replay-ability to this game and please some fans who want to see their favorite Zone reimagined that didn't make it in the game. Even though the level list was a tad disappointing the boss list however was a dream come true, all the bosses I want to see are in it. I really hope Death Egg is the Sonic 3 and Knuckles Death Egg where you get to fight the two mini bosses, the giant Eggman Mech plus Doomsday and not the Sonic 2 one.

We already saw Sonic 2 Death Egg in Sonic 4 and I love Sonic 3's and been wanting to see that giant mech in glorious 3D. I love how Shadow and Silver are being treated as rival sub bosses and can't wait to see Perfect Chaos in 3D I remember thinking that boss was so cool back when Adventure first came out and you saw him in the intro movie. Can't wait to see him in HD and to see Metal Sonic as well hopefully its not Sonic Heroes boss but the Sonic CD boss. I'm really curious as to whom Time Eater is, is he a villain? A monster of the week? If he's the crazy scientist looking guy in the early Sonic concept art I think it'd be perfect lol. I'm so happy about Classic and Modern Super Sonic's hope they are unlockables for gameplay like in Colours as well.

I wonder how boss fights will work, does one Sonic do one boss than another do a different one or will it act similar to Adventure 2's Shadow and Sonic taking turns kind of gameplay. The missions sound fun and I'm so happy to see the elemental shields from Sonic 3 finally return and most likely act the way they did back then too. What in the world is that Motobug with a ring going to be for the first thing that comes to mind is me thinking of Sonic sitting on a Motobug and riding him collecting trails of rings like he's driving a vehicle temporarily lol. Glad to see the Whisps return as well, they will be fun to use as Classic Sonic especially spikes which will look way to much like Sonic's Spin Slash attack in Sonic X-Treme.

When I heard about Co-op it made me so happy, I'd love to see Tails following Sonic around again like the old days even if its just for one level. I'm loving the fact it seems there's Co-op for every friend of Sonic's in each level as well. Seeing Sonic Co-op with Amy makes me laugh and smile lol. Did anyone else notice some of the interactive things found in the demo like "hold hands"? Wonder what that's going to be for but if its what I think it is then I can't wait to abuse that...lol. I'm really happy that they picked Sonic's good friends and not the annoying horrible ones like Big the Cat. Can you imagine seeing Big the Cat tag along with Sonic in a fast moving level?

I'm really curious about the VS mode though, are you going to be fighting your friends or racing against them? When I heard the Knuckles VS the thing that instantly came to mind was the fight in Hidden Palace Zone, a girl can dream right? Also really liking the fact the Hub Worlds are very interactive and probably large and will consist of Sonic's friends just hanging around instead of random humans. It's nice to just walk up to them and talk to them like you could in Adventure 1 after certain cutscenes or when you bump into someone in a area. Really looking forward to this game and excited to see all the stuff the game has in store, the gameplay is so enjoyable, Sonic's animations for being on an edge or his idle is just so adorable along with the badniks.

I'm really loving everything about this game except for the level list which I'm starting to be okay with and not as bitter about it as I was when the list was first leaked. I'm actually looking forward to seeing Sky Sanctuary, the textures look really nice and hell yeah EggRobo and Mecha Sonic! I'm loving the Casino extra for Preorders too, hope that's a good indication of other levels or mini game extras based on other levels making it in as DLC. I'm starting to wonder if Time Eater is not even a monster or villain but just a dark anomaly in itself, can be kind of cool and a different twist on things like a black hole.

EDIT: Forgot to mention I'm still peeved about Speed Highway, I love that level but Sky Deck or Lost World would've been much better choices especially Sky Deck my favorite level. It's unique and fun, had great music and can have a lot of creative interaction for Classic Sonic. Hell even Final Egg would've been a hell lot better, that level was also a hell lot of fun and had great music. Don't you guys want to punch stuffed Sonic, Tails and Knuckles plushie's again? I sure as hell do. But besides the bad Adventure 1 choice the other levels don't seem to be to bad although I think Mystic Mansion would've been a better choice than Ocean Palace than again it looks like Ocean Palace will be our ruin and water themed level.

 

Five city tropes? You're not counting Chemical Plant, are you? Because the city's just the background in that stage, it's more a... well, a plant, actually.
