Sonic Generations - You're too sloooow if you haven't bought this game yet!

[PsychoIncarnate]

Another thing Sonic did like dragon ball Z that I dislike...

Making ALL the characters that aren't Hedgehogs (Saiyans) useless

 

[Fuelbi]

But knuckles and tails are useful

Scratch that nevermind they aren't

But it's not like Silver is that useful to begin with or something and Amy hasn't done anything since SA2 (and no stalking sonic halfway around the world doesn't count)

I'd say Tails is somewhat useful.Knuckles not so much

 

[Mr. Johan]

If this isn't represented in Classic Chemical Plant in any way, I'll cry.

[Mr. Johan]

Y hello thar Angel Island, how's messing up the continuity going?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Well there is a time travelling enemy...

It's probably about continuity changing

 

[Fuelbi]

It'd make sense

Besides, Angel Island was the focus of Sonic & Knuckles right?

 

[Segtendo]

Toys R Us is offering Generations for $40, but you can't pick it up in-store. You must get it shipped.

Sega owes me new pants. That Speed Highway remix is sex.

 

[Fuelbi]

God this game looks so amazing. I find it lol how excited Classic Sonic gets when he gets an S rank lol. And did I just see Classic Sonic do a somersault through the boxes in Classic City Escape? Holy ****. The music for the menu is also amazing, especially the Green Hill Zone menu song, and the fact that you actually get to choose what music you want for the levels is oging to be amazing. I hope when you get to choose the music, they put up the option for all the old music in the original levels. Playing old City Escape on Modern City Escape would be so ****ing awesome.

Also, why won't they show us Speed Highway and Crisis City agh. I mean I get why they'd be the levels that are the least hyped in the game, but at least I'd expect, idk, a screenshot or two from them. At least Crisis City, that level was pretty cool in Sonic 06

EDIT:

Wow I got 30 minute ninja'd, I really need to refresh the page once in a while when I'm looking at 30 minute videos lol

and where the **** is Crisis City. That's one of the levels I'm hyped for the most, and no news on it. Idc if it was in Sonic 06, running through a demolished city in the future was pretty boss

 

[Grandeza]

Wow I loved Speed Highway. So much hype.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

It is so painful watching that one guy play city escape

 

[Fuelbi]

It is so painful watching that one guy play city escape

It was. I guess that's why that guy gave the other guy the controller to try and let him beat it for him lol

 

[Segtendo]

Those German guys were terrible at City Escape...

Modern Sonic's boosting system. Likes and Dislikes. Go.

 

[Fuelbi]

Modern Sonic's boosting system. Likes and Dislikes. Go.

Likes x1000000000000. I hated the fact that I had to use Wisps in Colors to get my boosts and the ring system is much more easier and the fact that you can trick to make the meter go off the charts is so amazing.

EDIT:

-He passes by Speed Highway while running back with Cream standing out front

Btw, I forgot to point this out earlier, but this makes complete sense. SA1 was after all the very first game Cream debuted in

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=6202ojFrPlM#t=42s

back then they didn't actually give her a name and all she did was drop a key for Big to use, but that's Cream alright, makes complete sense as to why she'd be in front of Speed Highway

 

[Fuelbi]

yo sorry I didn't realize this was a double post, I thought someone had posted after me

No. She debuted in Advance 2.
Remember how it was advertised in that one mission?
That's DX. You aren't thinking of the original Adventure 1.

 

[Minato]

I think it's fine seeing Rouge in front of City Escape and Cream in front of Speed Highway tbh.
I don't see them fitting anywhere else. Plus those are the games they first appeared in (well, first main game in Cream's case since it's not like they have Advance games in there).

I guess it's kind of a technicality kind of thing. Plus doesn't the same thing apply for Amy since she's really in front of Chemical Plant?

OMG I know, using wisps for boosts just felt wrong and unnecessary. I prefer the rings much more.

Tricks boosting meter is cool too

However, I do think they should make Sonic burn boost a good bit faster than in unleashed. It shouldn't be "kill one enemy, boost for half the stage" You should have to use some skill to earn your boost and keep your speed up.

Basically, I'm totally ok with more boosting, but it needs to be consumed up faster and it needs to be earned.

 

[Mr. Johan]

Based on that last trailer, it turns out that if Sonic keeps boosting for an extended period of time, he'll go into ball form, and his ring count will start to deplete. So it becomes a matter of choice: do you risk your ring count, and subsequently your score count, going down in order to get to the end as fast as possible, or do you risk a lower time bonus by not using the boost much in order to keep your score high? Or do you try to balance out the two extremes?

Nice little twist to the gameplay. Boost-to-Win is now a hindrance to get S-Ranks.

 

[Fuelbi]

No. She debuted in Advance 2.

Really? Wth, I have the non DX version of SA1 on my 360 and Cream still appears there

Yeah, needing wisps gave too little boost. The system they had in Unleashed for boosting was way better than the one in Colors imo. At least it was much easier. If anything, just change the rate at which you get boosts and it'd be perfect. I don't think there should be any need to sacrifice ring count for speed. Either way, I honestly don't care, I'm more interested in speed running Sonic than I am about getting the score

 

[Mr. Johan]

If you go all out on speedrunning the level you sacrifice a potential S-Rank. It's still an untested concept for now, but if it's elaborated on in future Unleashed-style games I'll have no qualms about it.

 

[Segtendo]

Actually, lemme correct myself.

She appeared as artwork in Mega Collection.

So would be any reason why Cream would appear putting the key in SA1? Doesn't make much sense tbh, that could've been done by any other character, or it could've just appeared there magically like before apparently.

360 version of SA1 is really DX but with DX's extra content locked as DLC only.

SEGA never disappoints in Sonic music. NEVER.

 

[Fuelbi]

SEGA never disappoints in Sonic music. NEVER.

The day they disappoint in music is the day I go kill myself. No seriously, they have NEVER disappointed us with bad music EVER.

I mean literally, listen to this and tell me in my face this is bad music. I mean, it was in Sonic 06 for crying out loud, and even this is one of the most amazing pieces of music in any Sonic game, and that's saying something considering this is Sonic 06 we're talking about

 

[Minato]

Yeah, I really liked that song from Sonic '06. One of my favorites for boss songs in Sonic.

 

[Segtendo]

So is it me or does this make anything sound good?

They NEVER fail at Sonic music (except Sonic Chronicles). I HATED that game's music.

 

[Fuelbi]

Why do people say Sonic Chronicles is such a bad game? I bought the game for my cousin a couple of years back, and it was pretty decent from what I played. I don't get why people hate it so much

It's got pugly graphics and bad music.
There's, like, one good battle music.

The music is sub-par, at least.
The second one is a bland remix of Diamond Dust, Act 1 from Sonic 3D Blast (Genesis).

[BSP]

Even if the gameplay is utter ****, the music will be good

It's like the unwritten rule of sonic games.

I love 3d blast's music, it just never gets old for me.

...wow

Ok I'll admit the music is worse than that one, but in my opinion that still doesn't mean it's horrible or something

Could be my musical preference or something, but w/e
