    He's alwayst honest, I know because he's a good friend of mine.

    He was over at my place just a couple of days ago, we played some Sonic Rift on the Switch 2 and had a ton of fun. I know that the ring tossing mechanic isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it's still way better of an ability than anything from the Wii U Sonic Adventure remakes. They honestly should've just scrapped those in favor of that SatAM-esque Boost game with the Wisp guns and a customizable player character.

    I too am currently trying to enter my 12 digit code for my physical PS5 copy, and I'm getting the error "The prepaid card could not be redeemed. Please try again later." when attempting to redeem my Sonic Adventure Legacy Skin.

    Yep! Same error I'm getting. Totally weird. My Sonic Jam code worked perfectly fine. But the Sonic Adventure one? Just does not want to work!

    I ended up contacting PlayStation support. This is what I ended up getting in response.
    And after replying.
    So here to hoping things work out. I was going to play the Shadow portion first anyway. :oldbie:

    How did you e-mail them? I keep getting their wack ass chatbot. This sucks. Why do they not just have an e-mail on there???

    No I had to go through the chat bot first too. And then I spoke to an agent, and then they sent a support email which I had to reply to. It took me about an hour...

    Wow! Terrible! I hate chat bots! I will simply just do it tomorrow because I do not have the time to do it right now.

    Did anyone else spot a "Yu Suzuki" in the credits for the Shadow side? Someone else with the same name, right? Interesting coincidence nonetheless.

    Playing through Sonic Generations part, i thought new changes in cutscenes and script were awkward at best and nothing too bad, but one thing i did dislike was when you beat Death Egg Robot, you actually see Classic Eggman model gets kidnapped while on the original it was hidden, dislike this because like the sole enjoyable moment in the story of original game was the reveal of classic eggman at the end, this takes away from it -and also should make the later scene of modern eggman kidnapping makes less sense when characters were wondering why eggman wasn’t kidnapped at the time, and they should be more familiar with all timey stuff by then-

    Noticed it while I was documenting it. I'm sure it's just the same name kinda deal.

    OR
    Aren't there like three game composers named Kenji Yamamoto? The Metroid one, the Dragon Ball plagiarist one, and then a third one I don't remember what he did.

    Played the switch version for an hour tonight. I’m very impressed. The game has an actual focus on maintaining a flow state.

    I still haven’t gotten my sonic jam skin tho. I confirmed my email with Sega and everything :/

    I also have this issue with specifically the Adventure Skin.
    Looks like sega is aware of the problem, so hopefully it gets resolved on its own without you having to waste your time. They made a support/announcement page about it here

    I've been playing the Sonic Generations port on Switch to start with and so far haven't encountered any of the extra glitchiness re: collision or scripted paths. Have I been lucky, or is the Switch version more stable somehow? If the latter, I wonder if it's related to the fact the Switch version is the only one which runs at the original frame rate of 30fps - could the frame rate increase on other platforms somehow be causing some of the problems folks have been encountering...?

    ...Also, SEGA have yet again botched the integration of the Switch menu features, albeit not as badly as Origins. In some game states the software correctly suspends when you go to the Home screen, but sometimes it doesn't - for example, Sonic Generations' main title screen keeps on running in the background just like Origins did. Thankfully during cutscenes etc. it does work correctly, so you won't miss any story scenes if you head to the Home menu during one. Still, they need to sort this out before their next release - frankly it comes across as amateurish, and in more than 6 years of playing Switch games I've not encountered any non-SEGA software that has this problem. No idea if this also carries over to Shadow Generations too; I'm saving that until I've beaten the original game first.

    If the frame rate increase for the original on PC for over a decade and Series S/X for the past few years haven't produced these issues, it's safe to say, it's the port. (Except that crane part in Chemical Plant which is a problem on XBox.)

    Anyone bet the mods will create the "Original" Generations restored mod for the purists?

    Fair shout; I've not played the PC version in a long time now, so had forgotten it already had the frame rate increase. Still, I'd be interested to find out whether the Switch version really is more stable somehow, or if I've just been incredibly lucky on my playthrough so far - I've been doing all the Challenge Acts and revisiting stages for Red Star Rings too, so it's not like I've just been skimming thorugh it or anything.

    I have the same issue except its with the Sonic Jam skin. I'm currently emailing back and forth with Sega. They asked me to provide my code. I'm just hoping they get back to me with a solution.

    Try your luck here. Attach a screenshot of your code when you write to them. PM me if you have questions.

    See, that's odd for me because I could redeem my Jam skin no problem. But the SA1 just isn't working and we know Sega is aware of that one.
