The exaggerated swagger of a black hedgehog is in full effect here

[TalkingBook]

The Biolizard boss fight has me losing my mind. I NEED a remake of the Adventure games with those graphics ASAP

[infina-phoenix]

That "you" was personal as fuck.

[sangregato]

The gameplay alone shows we NEED Shadow as a playable character in a Frontiers sequel. Also, can't wait to hear that version of Supporting Me in HD.

I love seeing Shadow finally get more recognition from Sega. Acknowledging Shadow’s own game after like 20 years is crazy

[WindiiGitlord]

DUDE THAT BIOLIZARD FIGHT IS SOOOO COOL

[RILDIGITAL]

The improvements over the Xbox 360 and PS3 version are quite apparent. Looking forward to reading Andy's and Jordan's hands-on impressions on videogames.

7:47 The Biolizard looks so freaking disgusting, and I loved it. Definitely the best version of the Shadow boss fight, a big improvement to SA2

[supergamer]

Hell yeah, the Shadow The Hedgehog space colony ark music. That "Back to the mic" sample plays on loop in my head

[Oscar-Guzman]

You can really tell how different the visuals, level design, and physics are in Generations in comparison to Shadow’s segment.

[Foxxen]

There is no way those animations play during gameplay wtf those were so clean holy shit

[lavender]

what an amazing year to be a Shadow the Hedgehog fan. we did it yall.

6:14
The moment when shadow says: 《Where am I ?》
Perfectly coordinated with the music that starts, is just Goosebump/20

[Shadow-Joop-]

I'm sure everyone skipped the sonic part and went straight to the Shadow part let's be honest

Side note I mean the trailer

[contentleaf]

The radical highway remix sounds so good omg

[IconPNG]

>Kirk sounds less edgy and more like SA2 and Heroes Shadow
>Levels have multiple paths
>Chaos control, Chaos spear, Chaos snap abilities
>Some kind of battle system and boost
>Remixes of original SA2 songs (and should be the same for Heroes, Shadow 05 and Sonic 06 music)
>Nice looking boss battle with awesome animations
>Physical media included with physical copy
>Soon to release Shadow Gens prologue animation
>Development on this game has ended a few months ago and Sonic Team moved on to other stuff

This is shaping to be one of the best Sonic games, ever.

When we booted up Frontiers in 2022 for the first time we never realized we were witnessing the revival of the Sonic franchise

[MJMcKenzie]

“Hiii Shadoooow”

“It’s meeee, the Deviiil.”

“I love yoooou!”

[rrandm_dude]

I love how they combined gameplay and cutscenes in the game, this isn’t an upgrade, this is an new game(i got enough comments so: i meant the shadow part)

Shadow bros... We've never won so hard🧎
