Sonic Generations Megathread

I'm absolutely loving the details put into the game for both Rooftop Run and Seaside Hill. Underwater segments in Seaside Hill would be amazing, and I'm curious as to what that "blimp" in Rooftop Run does.

Also, I wasn't too sure about the 3DS version, but considering it'll have levels like Mushroom Hill, I might have to get this for both consoles. =)

 

God forbid.



In response to the Blimp, I wonder if it'll be as eerily loud as it was in S3K?

I'm quite enjoying all these new shots.

 

Called it.

 

It's been forever since that was put in place.

 

mini-rant: If they replace it with TSSZ, the link would still be broken. But I don't think you're allowed to tell them how to access that source, because there's a reason this site blocks that source in the first place, and it would be a wise decision to adhere by Retro's views. *cough*

*ahem* That out of the way, these shots look very pixelated. What is the resolution of these shots? Ignoring that, I'm loving the Flying Battery-esque theme the level is taking for Classic, and I'm liking the graphics though there are a lot of nit-picky things analysts will surely have a fit about, like the foilage. Overall, the screens and trailers are making me very happy.

I wonder what Sega's going to do for TGS, that's getting pretty close too. Surely this game will be there.

 

Wheres my roof tree? ...

Awesome all awesome I'm floored we got a megabomb of all this press stuff today. Can't wait to blast through seaside hill again and rooftop run looks great and by that comparison shot they improved in it somewhat, do you think this is what sonic team really wanted rooftop run to look like?

Also, what is the big deal with DIMPS copying th classic level stage layouts? not that I'm praising them or anything but shouldn't we be glad we can still blow through the level the same way we did in the classics (Physics exempt) and not some new layout with DIMPS level clichés all over the place?

 

Because if the level layout is no different than before, then I might as well play the original games instead. I'd also get a better experience by doing this because I wouldn't have to put up with the level being raped by horrible physics.

Them not having new layouts is just laziness. I know that it would otherwise likely be replaced with level design that's typical of dimps, but copy/pasting the original layouts that we've been playing for 17-20 years isn't the answer either IMO.

 

HOLY FUCKING SHIT @ the new screenshots

Underwater sections in Ocean Palace confirmed.

AND FUCKING FLYING BATTERY ZONE IS IN SPAGONIA

holy shit

 

I second you on that, Cooljerk. I'm very excited for this game.

 

Flying Battery Zone following you through Spagonia is god damn mind blowing.

Holy shit.

 

In b4 autotuning to make Spagonia and Flying Battery remix

 

I'm not seeing Flying Battery Zone anywhere in those Spagonia shots.

 

How the hell did I miss that.

Flying Battery Zone for DLC would be fantastic SEGA.

 

There's another screenshot where Classic Sonic is standing on a platform attached to Flying Battery Zone.

Also, if you watch the trailer from today, you can see this section in Modern Sonic's gameplay where he's dodging barrels while running up a hill, and you can see Flying Battery Zone off in the distance like Sonic is chasing it. Earlier today someone wondered what that flying thing in the sky was, now we know - it's Flying Battery Zone.

 

That is a pretty ingenious way of putting more nostalgia into the game.

Stuff like this doesn't make me as sour about the level roster anymore, the other surprises are sure to be just as good.

 

I saw people upset that you can't go underwater in modern sonic in Seaside Hill Zone. Why so upset? We already know you can go underwater in Chemical Plant Zone as modern sonic.

 

People are upset that you can't go underwater in 3D. All the water sections so far have been 2D, just like they were in Colours.
