Classic Sonic is getting a Sonic Jam skin if you sign up for Sega’s newsletter

sonic generations was my first sonic game ever when i was a kid i remember playing it in my dads basement back when my parents where still together im so hype for the remaster

I really don't understand why so little people are aware of this.
Sonic Generations and Shadow Generations are in 2 different engines, Hedgehog Engine 1 & 2 respectively, and the same frameworks built with it. This is why Shadow can't drift, and he has the double jump. It's built of of Sonic Frontiers. This is why the jump balls are the same, 360 air movement is the same, graphics are the same, boost effects are the same, air boost is the same, and the combat is the same. It's in the same engine and framework as Frontiers, and different to Generations.

Edit: I have been informed that the Hedgehog Engines are just for lighting, and the gameplay was just made along side it. In that case, my point still stands, but I'd just like to make that clear, so I edited the og comment to highlight it. Thanks to everyone who corrected me. 🙏

I don’t think it would make sense for Shadow to have the same dialogue as he did in the time eater fight because the games are supposed to take place at the same time. If Shadow goes through all that. it wouldn’t make sense for him to just be like “You got this Sonic”. Idk why but i also feel like Silver is gonna have a role in this somehow. Maybe not an entire Story but i feel like he’s gonna have a DLC story. Hopefully if so they bring back Pete Capella

As one of the 10 fans of shadow the hedgehog game. Where are my guns?

14:33 Mephiles hasn’t even had be reoccurring this will be a big deal if he returns

[jmbrady]

I honestly think this is a good opportunity for Shadow to be his own franchise

[DarkkirbyKRPG]

I forgot to mention, you are 100% right on the japanese boxart being much better. The american one is a lazy, lame edit of the original Gens' boxart adding Shadow in the middle, with neither of the Sonics even acknowledging that he's there. Meanwhile the japanese one not only does it have actual new artwork for Sonic, and not only it clearly shows that the Sonic and Shadow portions are separate, it's a clear reference to the logo of Sonic Adventure 2. It's absolutely fantastic.

With kingdom valley i guess there is a good chance that memphis Tennessee will be in the game too. 😂

[TheReZisTLust]

Chao being the new wisps would be hilarious and at least give chaos a stab back in the series. They are sorta magical so it wouldnt be too farfatched for them to have an unknown ability. And maybe Maria was an artist in her life and that collectable is for artwork and why the paint brush isnthe icon. Also pro tip, print out the Japan cover and slap it in your physical box

[KarimJovian]

Already have the Deluxe edition pre-ordered on steam. So excited!

[FamusJamus]

19:59 "It also seems like there is some type of Shadow Emblem that you can be able to grab inside of the stages as well."

We see one get dropped by the Doom's Eye mini-boss and collected in a cutscene. I don't know if that one's a freebie (like the first Chaos Emerald in Shadow 05), but I had assumed they're story-related. Given that it's also a Black Arms symbol and Shadow's Doom Powers are Black Arms related, they could go towards unlocking/upgrading those powers.

They could function like Sonic Adventure Emblems instead though.

I bought the deluxe edition along with a shadow plush to celebrate the year of shadow this is the most hyped Ive been for a game before and I think they will make a boss per game shadow comes from so like a sonic heroes boss, 06 boss, and shadows game boss they could also add rival fights like sonic vs shadow, mephiles vs shadow and shadow vs black bull or somethin so this game has a lot of potential lets just hope it turns out how we expect it

[chadgaming]

I’ve NEVER got to play the original Sonic Generations, so, I’m EXCITED for it! I pre-ordered this game about a week ago, and I got the Digital Deluxe Edition for this game. So, I’ll be able to play this three days early, starting on the 22nd! I’ll be getting ALL the pre-order content stuff!

[kingthoug]

29 minutes of wait until the full game to come to be sure

[MoncusB]

I'm not even sure why I bother commenting anymore. I'm so jaded about sonic as a franchise, I started with adventure 2 and I understand a lot of people started in the 2D era of sonic games and want that but I just want a serviceable 3D sonic game. Sonic Mania was a good 2D sonic game and it took a studio that wasn't sonic team to make it happen. The control of your character just feels awful now, the boost formula sucks. Why can't they just do a game that isn't completely broken like sonic 06 with spin dash, homing attack, and maybe even bounce? They could make the bounce better then it was in adventure 2 if everything else felt good. I also can't stand the whole switching from 2D to 3D thing they do constantly, just make a fully 3D GOOD sonic game. It can't be THAT difficult.

All the same I like Shadow the character, I didn't even realize this was just a remaster of the old generations with an extra shadow campaign. The odds of it being good are so low >.> even though part of me wants to give it a shot.

Also the chao garden, it made SA2 so much more replayable imo certainly when I was younger. It's like they put chaos on the promotional poster just to screw with me.

I’m going to write some bullet points about Sonic Generations Remastered as I watch

-The Drop Dash will be a ton of fun for Classic Sonic but I have no clue how I’ll utilize it for Modern Sonic, maybe it’ll be helpful for the platform heavy sections like in Sky Sanctuary, Crisis City, and Perfect Chaos’s boss fight

-I’ll give the Frontiers controls a shot, those might be more comfortable for this game, especially since I like going for perfect runs and have to do some precise boost jumps and stuff

-I am actually really glad they’re getting rid of lives for one main reason: you lost a life every time you restart the level, and that gets on my freaking nerves and makes perfect runs incredibly frustrating to go for (since when you reach zero lives, “Start Over” is grayed out so you have to manually back out of the stage to restart)

-The Chao acting as a companion along with the skill system ALONG WITH alternate skins is going to make customizing Sonic a ton of fun

-Thank god they added a display for Red Star Rings, 100% completion will be way more fun now! Hopefully they make it to where you don’t have to beat Green Hill Zone to get Red Star Rings unlike the original game, that was a really weird and arbitrary change

5:23 I've really gotta stress that the removal of lives means you can restart stages, without losing lives, similar to Unleashed in which if you wanted to grind a stage for a better time, you needed a huge stack of lives cause if you made a mistake & restarted, you lost a life, but it's also extremely monotonous having to exit & reload an entire stage over 1 mistake, if you're tryna save your lives.

The removal of lives in this remaster fixes that issue entirely.
