Sonic X Shadow Generations thread, movie level out now

It's the game's codename and was first seen in the metadata for the reveal trailer. My theory's that it's named after Josh Miller who's the writer for Sonic 3, but that's just speculation on my part.

 

The last one is all I need to know.

Now I can say it's 100% worth getting the game.

 

+ - I guess Sonic is cutscene only then…that’s a shame, would’ve been great to see them reinterpret the fight, but I guess you can’t make radically changes without losing the SA2 homage. 22 main acts though? How does that work out?  

 

+ - they say it includes the bosses acts, so 18 actual acts, just like OG Generations  

 

That would mean there's still six acts unaccounted for. Do the stages all have an act 3 or something?

 

+ - so I was under the impression that each zone we'd seen had 2 acts. We have The ARK, Radical Highway, Rail Canyon, Kingdom Valley, Sunset Heights and Chaos Island. If that's all there is zone wise they must have about 3 acts each instead of 2. Kinda upset there's not going to be a level based on The last way.  

 

+ - Boss-wise, it looks like there could be as many as 6, as Mephiles and Black Doom both have two separate sets of files listed with different names. Perhaps we'll face each of them more than once in different forms - either that, or each of their fights will be a multi-phase affair with a transformation into a different form halfway through.  

 

+ - 2 phases of Mephiles might explain how Shadow goes from Kingdom Valley to Dusty Desert. Just have Mephiles in his clone state and then do some warping stuff when he goes into his crystal state.  

 

+ - Maybe there is a Black Comet based level then???  

 

Yeah they've gotta be hiding a Doom-themed final level. That Doom Egg thing from the poster looks big enough to be a level.

 

A new set of interview questions were released on Twitter regarding the game, and I appreciate that they openly admit that Sonic Generations was a very shallow story and not that difficult, so they wanted to do things differently with Shadow Generations.
Other than that, it's just generic stuff of "Doom Powers r kewl" "Fans like Shadow"

 

Apparently, a Brazillian AD from Sony Playstation had this as thumbnail:

And thanks to a friend on Discord to helping if it were real or not (it is).

 

Is that Shadow's in-game model? That's more expressive than I've seen any of these things be since... Well since they were new.

 

We model truthers told y'all they were fine, just needing to be animated better!

now please shrink the feet a little and the hands quite a bit

 

I just want them to experiment with different artstyles going forwards! Sonic is popular enough that he'll sell well no matter what artstyle they choose so they might as well shake things up every now and then

 

On one hand, I'm glad that they're willing to admit that Gens story really wasn't anything special. On the other hand, seeing them also admit it wasn't very difficult is making me nervous. The last time they wanted to correct the "Too easy" issue many people had lead to one of the biggest difficulty spikes I've ever seen in my entire life. Very glad they patched it, I hope they learned from it. It doesn't help I'm also getting flashbacks to Kingdom Hearts 3 Remind. After beating Yozora on Critical I swore that I would never play that game again. And that's a very big jump (or in this case, fall) from considering it my favorite game in the franchise pre DLC.

 

Usually dlc content is made tougher because it is aimed at diehards who already beat the game, and it's not trying to be newcomer friendly.

So far the game seems on the easy/average side of things. Wouldn't say it's any more difficult than base Gens, and i think new players will have an easier time with the more precise controls this time around. Even if it ramps up in the end, I can't see it reaching a frustrating degree of difficulty.

 

Sorry if it was posted already but Sonic Jam legacy skin:

These mfers might trick me into buying this game day one

 

They need to hire that lore-master asap cause Sonic Jam was not Sonic's first 3D appearance.
