Sega confirms the PC will be getting the game and will use Steamworks, 3D support, Steam Achievements, and online leaderboards.
Also Silver the Hedgehog was revealed to be another rival/boss for the game. ![]() http://www.screwattack.com/news/soni...rival-revealed (PC specs in the link) |

Didn't even know this had a 3D option. It's not too bad. Frame rate takes a dip, though. Wonder how many other 360 games have the option now.

The first demo had a 3D option as well. Though, that 3D option just set the game to display two smaller screens side by side.
I don't have a 3D tv so it wont let me try out this 3D option just to see what it looks like. Peoples opinions on the demo? I'm liking it. |

It's not bad. If it was full-price I wouldn't touch this with a barge-pole. But £17 for the PC version? Oh hells yes.

I think they should have given us a level other than Green Hill Zone as the demo. With GHZ being the first zone, it's not exactly the most thrilling level to hook someone into the game.

It's even cheaper on Green Man Gaming
http://www.greenmangaming.com/games/...c-generations/ They'll just give you a CD Key to install via Steam so you might even get the pre-order bonus (I did with Dead Island). |

I got the game a day early and gave it a spin (no pun intended). Great game, so far.
Each zone only has 2 acts, one for Classic and one for Modern but, once you clear a zone, a selection of "challenge gates" open. Green Hill has, I think, 12 challenge gates, 6 for each Sonic, all of them unique to that Sonic. Challenges include races (multiple types of race), tricks, enemy heavy challenges etc. Some take place in a slightly altered version of that Sonics act for Green Hill (or whichever zone you're in.) and others take place in totally new levels. One of Classic Sonics challenges involved reaching the goal in a level consisting mainly of swinging bridges with wasp enemies everywhere. Anyone that played the demo will know that sometimes it was impossible to run through a loop without spin dashing. It wasn't poor design, it was on purpose. The game has "skill sets" which you can customise to your style, once you buy abilities from the in game store. I had to buy an ability that stopped my speed decreasing on hills and in water to make those "impossible" loops without spin dashing. Music is cool. The remixes are well done and you can unlock other tracks, which you can listen to in the zone hub or use them as BGM in whatever level you like. It was pretty awesome playing as Modern Sonic in Green Hill with "Sonic Boom" as the BGM. You can also unlock artwork, movies and characters bios. I've only played for a couple hours (and unlocked 12 achievements already, they aren't too hard to get) but, like I said, it's a great game. |

I got my preorder bonuses. The dashboard theme sucks, the Avatar costume sucks but the Casino Nights Pinball table minigame was pretty cool. Liking the jazz version of the Casino Nights theme they used.

Sad that Crush 40 music wasn't included. I'd say they are the sound of modern Sonic.

There is a new version of the Super Sonic Racing theme. I think I heard that version on YouTube where it was called the "Crush 40 version".
I've gotten to what I think is the last boss already. I've just got to do two more challenges to get the 2 keys to gain access to him. I could be wrong and there could be more but the signs point to it being the final boss. The challenges should keep me going afterwards anyway. I'm hoping they have a good bulk of DLC zones out sooner rather than later. None of this SEGA All Stars Racing crap where they give us one new track as DLC and call it a day. |

There is a secret room in the game. To get there, go to the Collection Room at the far left of the zone hub. Hold back/select while in the room and you'll eventually be taken to the secret room after a few seconds.
It's a statue room. The only way to get statues is with passwords. Here they are and what statue they give you, one or two may be slight spoilers.: SPOILER: show All you can do, it seems, is rotate the statues when you view them. There are no bios for the statues. |

Love how if you change the music for a level, it plays that games invincibility/speed sneaker music.

Kind of in shock at just how good this game is. I pretty much gave up after 4 and Colours got decent reviews but I disliked them. This is all awesome, even the behind the shoulder bits.

The City Escape remixes on both acts are horrible compared to the original. Hope I can unlock that one.

You can unlock the original Green Hill and Chemical Plant zone themes. I'd assume the originals of each zones themes would be in.

Yeah, I've got them. Was liking the Sky Sanctuary remix, but I did forget how awesome the original was too.

Really hated the last few worlds. Just no personality to them at all with shitty music (which you can thankfully change).

Of the last 3 worlds, I enjoyed the middle one the most. The first of the last 3 was my least favourite because it's so unsonic.
I think that's a problem with a lot of the levels in the new games. They don't look or feel like Sonic levels a lot of the time. The old zones like Green Hill and Chemical Plant were great because they felt like videogame locations. The locations in the "Dreamcast" era with Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 were good too because they looked anime-like. Places like Crisis City or Spagonia or whatever aren't Sonic like at all. If they could go back to locations that felt either game like or anime like, it would be cool. |
