Sonic Generations Megathread

So, does caring about story and canon make me a horrible person, then? :v:

 

I would actually like that, given the Sonic 4 level was original. Then we'd get both an HD version of what's to come with near-accurate physics to it (Hopefully they'll IMPROVE the Classic formula), as well as a third-person perspective of the level. Both a teaser and a fun little added bonus to the game!

Yes, the level list is most likely final, but who knows, SEGA might have decided to do some last minute thing. DLC isn't TOTALLY out of the question, anyway. :P

 

Each Jazwares figure has a background image on the cardboard backing that represents a level from Generations from the leaked level list and has been confirmed by every trailer released thus far. Only ones not fully revealed are Speed Highway and Crisis City.

 

DLC is certainly possible, but I can't ever hope for that sort of awesomeness from SEGA, or any other company for that matter. The level list is definitely final though, they don't have time to do anything else.

 

I thought that since that's what they're trying to focus on for this game, as well as knowing that the Colors writers said they wanted to make better continuity throughout the series, I don't see why I shouldn't care. At the same time, I'm sure they're either gonna have their explanations for certain things, or they'll just take it loosely and work their way around it.

 

I haven't seen any Classic Super Sonic artwork with green eyes, though. They could have just been some artistic license from the guy in charge of the sprites, and might have never been included in the official character design sheets.

 

Hitlersaurus Christ's point was that when Sega was designing Classic Sonic's design for Generations, they weren't actually thinking, "Here, let's specifically make him look like the way he did at the end of S3&K"; they were thinking something more like, "Here, let's design Classic Sonic in 3D".

 

Oh I know, I wasn't objecting to that (nor him) at all; I'm just reaching out to everyone in the topic trying to seriously tell me there is no canon/continuity and no one cares.

 

What about the Super Sonic file select picture you get for beating the game (I can't find a picture of it for the life of me for some reason)? Nevertheless, there really isn't very much Official Classic Super Sonic artwork to begin with (none from Sonic 3, for that matter), so the sprites (and other in-game images) are really all we have to go on.

 

Nope, not there.

 

Well, I guess my memory really sucks; I could have sworn he was green-eyed. Perhaps I was thinking of Hyper Sonic's ending image (I'm not even sure of that one either now)?

 

Hyper Sonic's ending is the same sprite with palette cycling. Wouldn't make a difference.

 

Super Sonic's eyes were green in-game.

 

Nobody was contesting that (though some frames give him black eyes, which was probably just a mistake resulting from not editing the entire set and just recoloring some of "normal" Sonic's). Really, hard to know what developer/artist intent was there.

Honestly, I like that they went with solid black. Suddenly growing irises would be visually confusing, especially for people who didn't notice it in the original game, and can't imagine solid green pupils on a 3D Sonic would look at all well.

 

Umm, well, this is going to get a bit crazy.

I'm not sure what to think about this. I can't say much more than... someone's pulling from the 90s.

 

Can we head off the inevitable screencaps being posted? I know exactly where this is heading...

 

Aww UK only?

Please get those commecrials guys I gotta see these.

 

I'm looking forward to the inevitable new limited edition cereal brand XD

SuperSonic Speed'O's!

Oh wait, that could be one of two things lol

 

So what we thought was Sega genuinely being... Sega about the information being given out and the publicity around this game, Sega are now going to go absolutely ballistic with marketing, retailing and PR.


All I can say is I hope they pull there head out of their ass and give GAMEdigital / Gamestation an answer on whether they're seeing the light of day on those collectors editions. I guess if the game's got a lot of effort being put into it, the least they can do is make their marketing / retail sector of the company work for their money too.
