Sonic Generations Megathread

Hints towards an 'At Dawn' section coming right up?

 

Not quite, but still very pretty. I imagine on an HD console it'd look swell.

 

This ones even 'dawnier':


Nice to see that did add it. Hopefully the music's in there too.

 

I suspect there'll be a transition to dawn and then a 'quick step around morning traffic' section to top everything off and then the goal ring.

Spoiler

Unless the truck suddenly pops up out of nowhere for round 2. :v:

 

As a classic Volkswagen owner, you have no idea how absolutely ecstatic I was to see numerous air cooled Volkswagens in this picture:

 

Spoiler

I believe you mean round 1

 

Spoiler

No, I mean round 2. The truck somehow manages to tail him THROUGH TIME. :specialed:

 

Let's not get into some fancy shamcy Sonic 06 time warps here XD

 

Erm, anyone else get the feeling we've seen most of those screenshots before?

 

I expected this to just be the van vehicles that were in Sonic Adventure made to look even more like VWs, but oh man, they snuck a Beetle in there.

 

That's because we have.

Also, erm...




Boost y u so purple?

 

I believe it has something to do with the cores you collect in that level.

 

Possibility of At Dawn?
Erection........BUILDING

 

Man does Shadow look pissed...

 

Building, geddit? Because its a city-- *shot*

Spoiler

I hear parts of It Doesnt Matter in that City Escape music. Very nice.

Also I figure the purple boost may have something to do with them being in space? But then again an earlier screenshot showed Sonic with a blue boost. Ah well.

 

The Tornado: Faster than Airmail. Too bad it's a private plane mostly used for combat. Also, Speed Radio!


That road across the left side... is that a gate from Radical Highway?


It appears the airstrikes are as dickish as ever.


There you go, guys! Your NiGHTS head! It's even slightly possessed tonight!


You have no idea how badly I want that sign to say "Planet Freedom, 1MILE"


I never understood this. It was in the original, and always happened going down after a loop. It just didn't make sense.

He always looks pissed. He's probably pissed at you calling him pissed right now.

 

So via the Sonic Stadium we now know possibly the full list of things to buy (I was hoping to know this over a week ago but we were to busy ripping Sonic's fucking jumping voice actors in every language >> ):

Spoiler

Classic:
Powerbrake
Saferestart
Lastchance
Timebreak
All 3 elemental shields and the normal shield
spinatk (I don't know about this one, it uses the sfx used when Sonic throws the sky gem in 06, maybe it's the insta-shield )
treasuresearch (Wait a minute there's a variable on all of the Classic item boxes called "<TreasureSearchHideType>0</TreasureSearchHideType>" if you set it to 1, the item box doesn't load, so maybe this skill unlocks hidden item boxes)

Modern:
powerbrake
saferestart
lastchance
timebreak
powerstomping (Omochao explained that it increases the damage radius of your stomp)
quicksilde (I have no idea, but it uses the same sound effect as the quickstep does)

Someone over there is working on hacking Super Sonic into the demo as well.

 

Literally nothing in Sonic level design would make sense in real life, especially not when it's supposed to be cityscapes/areas built by humans or humanoid creatures. None of it would make sense in any capacity. Ever.

But that area that you've never understood is simply a piece of highway that is under construction. It ironically makes perfect sense.
