Sonic X Shadow Generations thread, movie level out on the 12th

I think it could be exactly like that for a "mini-level" during a stage, it's even the same kind music used in Radical Highway. Speaking about it, I guess that is confirmed it's Jun Senoue AND Teddy Loid that worked on Vengance is Mine remix from the Black Doom mini-boss chase theme.

 

They're going to reuse the fuck out those assets and you're going to like it.


Westopolis is probably the level scene from the trailer when Shadow flies towards the Biblically Accurate Doom form.

In other words, it might be the final level.

 

I mean. Maybe. But then you're basically just using two different names for the same stage. Doesn't really make much of a difference.

 

1 discussion on Space Port assets in a single boss and suddenly the entire game is only reused assets now.

 

Actually, now that I'm looking at it, he couldn't have chosen a worse example from the trailer to claim it was Westopolis -- you can clearly see from the background that the scene is set in the open zone hub world (the castle spires are the most obvious part), and the only bit of level geometry visible is...the red golden gate-style bridge, which is exclusively from Radical Highway. It looks like either more level pieces get added to the open zone with time, or else maybe doom mashes the stages all together for a boss fight or challenge or something.

 

Tbh, a very large portion of this game is probably reused assets, considering the nature of the game is revisiting old levels.

 

There's literally a Yakuza car asset in the movie stage btw... a re-use of asset that comes from a game that re-uses assets all the time...

Spoiler: no, really there is

We've come full circle.

(Sorry for the messy images by the way.)

 

I mean Frontiers basically reused the fish from yakuza series in the Big's fishing minigame, a reason why they were so detailed

 

All of this reused asset crap in the Sonic series has gone on for too long



I can't believe they're just posting their reused asset guidelines online these days, I mean what the fuck even is Recycling anyways. This is some of the most fake stuff I've ever heard.

 

According to a Famitsu interview with Shun Nakamura (Sonic producer), Shadow Generations is now the same length, if just a little less than Sonic Generations. Which we already sorted from how much content they showed in trailers, but it's nice hearing it from an official source.

 

Sonic Team have found the ultimate hack for releasing a Sonic game that isn’t padded to shit, yet still satisfying in length: release it as a pack in with an old game

 

If it wasn't for the fact they're saying the game's not gonna be that long, I'd predict the game would top Rise of Lyric as my 2nd favorite in the series. Still, as someone who finds Sonic Gens wholly unremarkable I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited.

 

Honestly...

That's pretty friggin' insane. This is literally Generations 2 now, in a sense.

Yeah, I don't mind the price anymore.

 

We got Shadow 2 y'all.

 

Eh, they heavily exaggerated Frontiers' length in marketing too.

If I had to guess, it's probably closer to 60-70% of Sonic Generations' length.

 

I don't think they exaggerated Frontiers' length I just think they didn't expect that people wouldn't like Cyberspace and just avoided it for the most part and as a result also dodged the Gaurdians, at least that's how I and my friends played it.

 

I'm keeping my expectations in check.

 

Did they? I seem to remember them saying it would take around 20 hours for a normal playthrough, 30 if you were going for a hundred percent. That was spot-on for my experience.

Either way I do agree that this should be taken with a grain of salt, since I'm pretty sure there aren't nine different two-act stages in here, but still.

 

While there isn't as many stages the time lost from that seems like it'll be made up for with the hub world. Challenges are still a mystery of course, but it could very well hit 80-90 like Sonic Gens given Shun saying it has just a little less content. All about waiting and seeing, either way I'm pretty satisfied with what I've seen so far.
