I don't have a picture of it, but the New Nintendo Power mag has old school Sonic on it. It doesn't seem right.

Demo for Sonic Generations is getting released tomorrow (June 23) only on PSN and XBLA as part of Sonic's official 20th birthday. The demo itself is a timed exclusive and will get taken down on July 12.

Gave the demo a spin (no pun intended) and it's cool. It's very similar to Sonic as he was "back in the day".

I thought we'd get a demo of Retro Sonic and a demo of Modern Sonic but it's just one Retro level and that's it. I thought that was strange.

Only had 2 hiccups so far. One was when I was running down this vertical corkscrew and randomly fell off, even though it was one of those auto parts like those "roll through this tiny tunnel" bits from the old games.
The other being slowdown when I was trying the random and useless "stereoscopic 3D" mode.

The demo does say as soon as it loads up that it doesn't represent the final game so that'll all be fixed by then.

I thought that but isn't that kind of 3D blurry without the glasses? This is just two images, side by side.

Yeah, not sure why they thought anyone would want to play a game cross eyed, especially one based around speed and platforming.

On top of that, like I said, it causes slowdown at times.

You still need a 3D TV to see it properly, I'm not sure how it works but I'm sure the two images are sent to the glasses one at a time to create a 3D effect. You're not meant to do it via going cross-eyed.

I downloaded the demo, I must say I enjoyed it, it may be the first Sonic game that I have picked up in a while. Too bad that they only let you play one level though.

The game is still about 5 months from completion so, for it to be as good as it is this far from being finished, is a good sign.

The fact it's just Sonic and not an iffy gimmick helps.

The demo was alright. If you want to play a good recent Sonic game just play Sonic Colors. Sonic Advance 1-3 are awesome.

Something about one of the peices of music:
SPOILER: show
Someone on YouTube pointed out that Modern Sonic wouldn't need invincibility because he has boost. They thought that must mean the game is hard. I don't think thats it.
They talk about the game celebrating 3 eras of Sonic. Classic, Dreamcast and Modern. So I'm thinking Modern Sonic wont just have his Unleashed "pretty much on rails" style levels. I'm think he will also have Sonic Adventure 2 style levels.


A cool little thing about the demo. When you run, Sonic kicks up dust behind him. If you run and stop, the dust keeps going.
When you get to the double backwards S shaped tunnels (the one that you enter after you pass the two Krabmeats and the flying enemy), enter them and then turn around and spindash back up them. When Sonic comes out the top one, he'll run into a wall and stop but you still see the dust carry on.
It's a small detail but I like it for some reason.

Dreamcast Sonic was like a middle ground between the old and new Sonic. You had the "Running really fast" sections but you had other sections where you had to do some actual platforming. SA2 keeps coming to my mind more than SA1.

Modern Sonic is pretty much entirely "Running really fast" with no real platforming and in a more onrails kind of way. I still enjoy it, but it's different.

A bunch of people managed to hack the demo for the game and found out a bunch of stuff with some being potentially good and some being potentially bad.

A few items confirmed to be useable are 3 different types of shields (Electric, Fire, Bubble), some of Sonic's cast of characters are returning (ex. Shadow, Metal Sonic, Silver), and the game's final menu music might be a remix from Sonic Heroes.

That should probably be under as spoiler tag, shouldn't it?

I got an email from GAME yesterday saying that the game will be out in the UK on the 4th of November.

So that would translate as the 1st of November for the US, wouldn't it? The US gets games on Tuesdays before we get it on Friday the same week, I'm sure.

Most of it is generic stuff and stuff people already assumed would be in the game from previous stuff and from the Sonic 4 Episode 1 game. The characters might be spoiler-worthy although almost every Sonic game has multiple versions of the same Sonic.

The video inside the link spoils a lot more which is why I didn't want to post it.

It looks like the recent stuff found by hacking the demo is indeed true as Sega revealed on Twitter that Metal Sonic is a boss in the game.

Also leaked by retailers but not confirmed by Sega is that the Xbox 360 version will have exclusive stuff unlike the PS3 version.

Quote:
Some UK retail outlets have listed a game called Sonic Generations: Special Edition. This special edition of Sonic Generations is said to include the Casino Night Zone pinball level (which was also leaked in that list). These outlets are also claiming that the 360 version of SG:SE will have extra content that will not be featured in the PS3 version, like a free theme for your Xbox 360 Dashboard, as well as an Ultimate Makeover feature for your avatar.

A pinball level, avatar outfit and premium theme don't really seem worth the extra Ł5 it'll cost me to get the SE.
When it comes to Sonic, I'm not sure what would be a good SE. A comic and a soundtrack, along with some levels from the originals done with Generations graphics maybe.

Ok, I checked out GAMEs site and they've removed the standard edition of SG and now just have SG:SE.
The standard was Ł32 but now you can only get the SE and it's Ł35. All ordered for the standard edition are automatically changed to the SE.

Luckily, I prordered the standard edition at Ł32 and used my card points to get Ł2.50 off. So I'm getting the SE for Ł30. Not bad.

People are thinking this could be a not-so-subtle hint at what levels will appear in Generations.

Nice remix of "Live and Learn".

Though it has some of the most obnoxious fans I ever seen, it's been a healthy series in retrospect.

Interview with series producer Takashi Iizuka about Sonic in general shows the team realizes Sonic hasn't been as influential in platforming and sees that as something special.

He also said the switch to 3D was the best move for the series even though fans haven't been as supportive. He did admit the switch to 3D presented a lot more problems which needed to be worked out for the series to stay relevant.

Quote:
gamrFeed - Do you see influences from Sonic in other games?

Takashi Iizuka - Platform action games are generally about making precise jumps, so I have not seen action games where you blaze through like Sonic. This is probably why so many people have been supporting Sonic for 20 years, from the day he was born, and we have a sense of mission in creating Sonic games.


gamrFeed - What is your idea of a perfect Sonic game? What elements of that vision made it into Sonic Generations? What aspects weren’t included and why?

Takashi Iizuka - People first think of Sonic as “speed” but Sonic action games are first and foremost “platforming action.” We can’t have a game focusing solely on speed and turn it into a racing game, but we can’t have a game without speed as that would not be Sonic. Merging these two features (which normally do not go together well), and with the Sonic world and its characters that appeal to the audiences, are the elements required in Sonic games. Sonic Generations takes the experience from previous Sonic games in terms of merging speed and platforming action, and should be a fun title that everyone can be excited about.


gamrFeed - What challenges did you face designing levels for both a 2D and 3D format?

Takashi Iizuka - Reimagining 2D original games to 2D, and 3D original games to 3D, works smoothly as we can see the outcome. However, that was not the case for creating 3D stages where the original was a 2D game and vice-versa. We cannot destroy the original image, but had to include new elements and game play. We have also included ideas where people who know the original will find something fresh, and not just re-arranging the original games.


gamrFeed - Over the last 20 years, what have been the greatest evolutions for Sonic?

Takashi Iizuka - The greatest thing to happen for Sonic is obviously when he was born 20 years ago. In terms of greatest “evolution”, I think it would be the evolution to 3D action game in Sonic Adventure (1998). 3D Sonic is now recognized by many people, but back in those days, no one could imagine what a 3D Sonic game would look like, and it was a huge task to develop. If we did not have the evolution to 3D at that time, Sonic may not have been as greatly appreciated and enjoyed by fans for such a long period of time.

Demo of Sonic Generations on a 3DS during Gamerscom 2011. It looks like the bottom screen doesn't really do anything which means no real issues of loosing the 3D view unlike a few 3DS games that didn't manage the 3D ability well (ex. Madden 3D and the cancelled gardening demo from EA).

Some new details on how each Sonic acts different with the biggest one being Classic Sonic never talks in the game while Modern Sonic talks a lot during the game.

Also Modern Sonic potentially has access to all the transformations and special stuff going as far back as Dreamcast-era for Sonic games.

Kotaku asked as a joke if Sonic has a werewolf transformation but the producer neither confirmed nor deny it would be possible.

Quote:
Modern Sonic, the leaner of the two, will be as chatty as he has been since the Dreamcast's Sonic Adventure. Classic Sonic will be as quiet as he was in his 1991 debut on the Sega Genesis. His sidekick, Classic Tails, will speak on his behalf when the two Sonics interact, says Sonic Generations producer Takashi Iizuka.

But classic Sonic may get to silently experience some of the skills and superpowers that modern Sonic has enjoyed in the modern era. I asked Iizuka if classic, side-scrolling Sonic would be able to enjoy the superpowers of a game like Sonic Colors or Sonic Unleashed. Would he turn into a drill or a laser or a werewolf (or "werehog," if you must)? Could chubby Sonic use a sword in Generations? Iizuka would neither confirm nor deny that classic Sonic's skills would expand beyond spin dashing and jumping, but it sure sounds like a possibility.

Sega confirms Shadow will be in Sonic Generations and will be an enemy boss for Sonic to face off against.

Sega didn't reveal if anymore of the extra characters or "friends" from Sonic's history will show up in the game.

Also, they just had to add in fucking Shadow. I don't see why it couldn't of just been Metal Sonic instead.

I'm assuming if they're adding in Shadow for Modern Sonic, then Metal Sonic will be in there too for Classic (or maybe Silver Sonic from Sonic 2)

[EDIT: Yup, there he is, in the last couple of seconds of the last video]

Almost evey single one of Sonic's friends over the past 20 years confirmed to be in the game but won't be playable characters.

Quote:
"We really wanted to encapsulate 20 years of Sonic characters... so we've got those really memorable bosses, we've got memorable rivals as well that you can play against; so far we've announced Metal Sonic and Shadow... There's many friends in there as well...They're not playable, but there are many friends."
