Sonic Generations Megathread

Yeah that's right. I honestly don't get why they have subtitles and we don't. Could be a cultural thing, but I'm not sure.

 

The thing about Wentos is that he COULD'VE been right at the time, but then development changed radically into what we're currently seeing. Not that I'm complaining. His theory on Sonic Unleashed made a lot of sense.

 

VGChartz makes shit up. Stop using it.

 

Given my pre-order to Amazon. This is going to get painful as the F4F Metal Sonic is also scheduled for released sometime before Christmas.

 

That's not out yet? I could have sworn that it was available to buy and sold out instantly already...

 

Nope. It was originally due out only in North America this Summer, but because of efforts to renew the worldwide license and delays caused by the tsunami that hit Japan, it was pushed back until October/November time. You can still pre-order it form their site. But yeah, this CE coupled with my rent and the F4F statue is gonna put a mighty strain on my bank account.

 

Like wise, I don't even own a next gen console at the minute but do intend on buy a PS3 at some point. Either way I couldn't let this slip.

 

Crap shoot rumor. Announcing a game for another console in the future and then using the excuse "based on sales" is a dime a dozen fluff piece. I remember such a rumor being posted up for Colors on PS3/360. I wouldn't take much stock into this, though. Mind you, should it happen, it's not a bad thing.

 

Rumors gonna rumor. I would love a Vita port, but we'll only end up with this again.

 

I don't own a PS3 or a 360 either, I've put myself down for the 360 version as I will probably buy one as soon as the Christmas offers start.

 

After the flood of tacky and annoying special/limited/collector's editions of various games over the past 5 years, I promised myself that I would never buy one unless it looked really, really worth it and even then wouldn't want to go beyond £60-70. But fuck it, this is Sonic's birthday and SEGA are clearly going all out to celebrate the occasion in a spectacular way. It's baffling to think it was only 5 years ago we were all hyping up 06 as Sonic's ultimate birthday game.

Just placed the 85 quid pre-order on Amazon and feel completely justified. Not to mention I'll be getting the 3DS version too (which comes out 3 weeks later here; perfect timing) and ordering all the 20th Anniversary soundtracks, it seems like I'm going to blow around £200 on this event. Worth every penny.

 

Man I hope I'll be able to get one of these collectors edition ordered into a Gamestation the size of a cupboard. My Uni accomodation is newely built and as such, has no 'well known' address. So ordering online isn't an option for myself unfortunately.

Also you guys hyped '06? I have to see that thread.

 

Can't you get it delivered to a family member or friend? That's what my mate at uni is doing.

 

The stores are taking pre-orders, so if you get an order in there then they'll have it ready for you even if they're not selling it otherwise. It beats having to rely on someone else to take a delivery for you.

This £100 RRP is really steep. What warrants it do you suppose? Is the ring in in like solid glass or something?

 

A quick question that really isn't worth starting a new thread over.

Was there a CE of Sonic 06?

 

And miss out on playing it on the day of release and not going to collect it upon the doors opening at 8am before I go to Uni on that day? No thanks. :P

EDIT:

There was a special cover released in the UK for it. It was merely a cardboard sleeve that the normal plastic (non special) case was inside. The Cardboard was basically just holographic / foily-like. Similar to that of Sonic Heroes's design on the "non-classic's" boxes.

 

As well as what Narstyle said, along with the special sleeve there were a couple of postcards included too. I think this entire "set" was Europe/UK exclusive. It was pretty crappy though. In the USA, this was a pre-order bonus-

 

Man that was pretty good. Better than the game itself no doubt.

From eBay.

 

I couldn't find anything other than some scattered 06 threads, no megathread in sight, they are around page 15-20 in the General Sonic Discussion board.

Oh, the hindsight, it hurts! :v:
