Sonic X Shadow Generations announced, releases Autumn 2024

Dunno if this was brought up in the thread yet, but if you view the game via Profile>Games on Steam rather than through the library itself you can see that Shadow Gens has 40 achievements.

The original has 49... So that's lame.

 

Quality not Quantity hopefully. The achievements in Generations were mostly standard "you played the game!" crap.

 

Will there be an achievement on the same level as "Can't Touch This"? Stay tuned!

 

New vid is out highlighting the visual advancement of the levels - Wait until 0:32 for the cleanest transition you'll ever see.

I miss the more solemn blueness that Kingdom Valley had before, with its moody overcast compared to whatever blank slate cloud set-up they have here. Do you think if I complain loud enough that they'll adjust the hue on their HDRI?

And god, those whispy trails on the air rails are super adorable of an inclusion to have. Why can't I do that on my morning commute?

 

Not a huge fan of the Rail Canyon and Kingdom Valley remixes, but visually I think all the stages look great, and the level design looks more faithful to the Adventure style of gameplay than Generations was.

 

Did SA2 actually look that bad or is it bad video compression on purpose?

 

I'm going to guess it's filmed directly from a Dreamcast and then put into 4k, which wouldn't look too good.

 

Funny enough I was just trying to go for that one a couple minutes after posting. It's bullshit!!!
Also can't seem to get Time Attacker either because the servers have been acting weird for a while now.

 

I can't believe they would just show footage of Sonic 06 like that. With the logo and everything!

 

Love that waiting animation of all things. I think it's mainly that we've been stuck with the Unleashed animations for so long but it's nice to see a little anger at the player in the waiting animation again. Wouldn't be surprised if they're hiding a Black Doom-themed final level but either way I'll totally accept three complex 3D levels especially if they lean into the replay value.

 

Yeah I really like the in-game animations, the grinding animations look pretty cool. Took them long enough to make some new good ones.

 

I doubt we’re just dealing with 3-Zones, considering Radical Highway is a 2-for-1 deal right now.

My bet? 5 or 6

- ARK
- Kingdom Valley
- Radical Highway (?) / Different SA2 Stage
- Bullet Station
- Black Doom Original Stage or Black Colony

10 3D Stages, Challenges, good to go

 

I think it is SA2B, im not at my computer for a good image to share, but his ears are the higher poly, rounded off ones from the GC port onwards and the life icon uses the HD one rather than gamecube... despite being 4:3. Seems like they intentionally knocked the resolution and aspect ratio to make it seem like the dreamcast version

 

I KNEW IT, THERE'S MORE!

4 stages confirmed

 

You don't have to reveal everything. Just give us a little heads-up if the remaining stages are from Forces or RoL =P

 

Even going ridiculously low on the base game we have one more stage via the digital Deluxe edition bonus this December, that'd still be 5.

I'm just gonna say I think it'll be 7 or 8 stage themes total. Seems like enough without being too much.

 

Five zones at least, seven zones at most, not including DLC zones.
