Sonic Generations Megathread

It'll just be a mistake, I'm sure.

Shadow, Metal Sonic and

Silver

are only boss/rival characters. Tails,

Spoiler

Knuckles, Amy, Rouge, Cream, Blaze, Espio, Charmy and Vector

are supporting characters who show up in levels and the intro. I can't imagine the focus will ever shift from the Sonic's though.

 

And yet, the mere fact that those characters are IN the game is enough to get some people riled up. Case and point:

 

Why would they be mad? You get to kick the shit out of Shadow. Sounds like a winning situation to me. :v:

 

I just noticed something... What's with his shoes? Is the same thing happening to him like everything else?

 

I keep seeing people commenting on Shadow's shoes on various sites. What's so different about them? They've been depicted as similarly scuffed with chips in the paint in promotional renders for Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic Rivals and Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing before now, as well as a few others looking at the art on the wiki. If anything, Sonic the Hedgehog '06 was the odd one out for not adding the scuff-marks.

On-topic, loving that Collector's Edition, but hoping the later release is just an info-gaffe by Amazon. I'd rather not wait nearly four extra weeks to play it after it's released just because I went for the version with all the extra swag. = S Still, if it is a genuine difference, I'm sure Halo: CE Anniversary and Zelda: Skyward Sword will be keeping me too busy for it to bother me too much. = )

 

Shadow had a gun through out his own starring game, when you mess around with ILLEGAL FIREARMS (I don't believe he was permitted to carry a concealed weapon, let alone one out in the open) you're bound to scuff up your 50 YEAR OLD DUNKS.

 

Considering Shadow has rocket shoes, having the paint chipped and scuffed would be fairly realistic thanks to all the heat.

 

So... Mention of Shadow makes everyone baww. When he's a rival character.

These people are DUMBASSES.

 

If Generations turns out to be good, then this kind of fandumbish "green eyes" category comments will simply be ignored or someone will say something like "no way dude."

This already happens with Colors.
If someone, game reviewer or not, says it is bad, there will be always someone who jumps on it saying that's not true.

 

I've already taken my shots at Original the Character. Just let me break his face in some more.

 

Oh dear god... Can't SEGA make a good Shadow render? Without him looking stupid/weird?

Seriously, all the freaking time.

 

Boy, I sure am curious about how they're going to explain Shadow's sudden bloodlust.

Also what it is he was doing during Unleashed.

 

Time travel, man. They don't have to explain shit. They're just going to re-enact their scene from SA2, maybe change some of Sonic's lines, then have the two kill each other.

The fun part of time travel is the potential for temporary character retcons back to a prior form. Comic books have been doing this for decades.

 

I can't see anything wrong with Shadow. He's baring teeth- he did that in SA2. It portrays a wildness about him, a sense of power. Shadow has both of those qualities within his make-up. This is one CGI image of him. It looks good.

Also, his shoes are metal- metal which comes in to contact with the floor, as well as the thrusters on the bottom, and he's been wearing them for 50 years. Yeah, they're going to be a bit scraped. Sonic Adventure 2 and Heroes didn't have the detail to go in to it too much. You didn't need to see it, if it was there.

Also, they've never gotten rid of any of Sonic's friends- they whittled Colours down to Sonic, Tails and Robotnik, because it suited that game and scene. I have friends, but they aren't with me every single second of the day. Some of them I haven't heard from for months. The world is a large place when you can travel at hundreds of miles an hour using just your feet. Sonic's in space half the time anyway.

 

^ I fully agree with this person. Hell, I don't even mind the prospect of

Spoiler

Silver showing up

if it means I get to beat the shit out of him.

 

Everyone was at Sonic's 20th, so nobody came to his 10th.

 

His 10th is Sonic Adventure 2, you realize...

Also, "No Stripes" is going to be the new "Green Eyes" I swear to God.

 

He hasn't changed. He looks the same as he always did.

Now, if for some reason he gets jostled out of his stasis early, then things might get interesting.

Or not. Hell, didn't Shadow look exactly the same anyways in the Shadow the Hedgehog flashbacks? Seeing as how Gerald Robotnik created him at his given age and stature?

Shows over guys, nothing to see here. Wait till next reveal.

Uh, yeah ...

Sonic's friends have grown, crowded, and diluted Sonic games since Sonic Adventure until Unleashed/Secret Rings. That's kinda the subtext here. They've just begun to suck less in Colors DS.

 

I think he means Shadow's 10th, which would be Generations.
