Post by: cool breeze on April 18, 2011, 02:58:31 PM: If all levels are based on old sonic stages, that'd be neat. Casino Night Zone in 3D and all that.

It sounds like the 2D and 3D stages are completely separate instead of transitions like in Colors and Unleashed.

Title: Re: Sonic Generations
Post by: Powerslave on April 18, 2011, 04:02:28 PM: I was already pretty excited when the first trailer showed up, like been implied before it's great that Sega finally decided to pretend that modern sonic is not an actual 3D realization of classic sonic.
It would be great if you could choose your preferred sonic from the start and play the entire game in classic sonic style, but these type of awesome "your choice" game designs are something only developers from the olden days would do. You can bet the game will flipflop between the 2 styles between like every level or something in that direction.

Well, I am a little butt hurt.

Excluding the Wii and (3)DS doesn't make sense at all, given how positively received the Sonic Colors were, which iirc translated into good numbers. I wonder if the Wii's successor has anything to do with this and Nintendo is withholding a Sonic announcement for E3. But that would infer that the Wii2's release is even closer than anyone expected since the Anniversary is just around the corner, so nvm.

But again, really weird.

Post by: choco parfait on April 19, 2011, 02:43:15 AM: Will not buy into the hype until the crazy sonic fans have verified classic sonic's exact pupil color, the stripes on his socks, the exact rpms of his spin, the feel and bounce of his jumps, the number of frames in his standing animation, and the blueness of the skies and have confirmed everything is okay for consumption.

Basically, yeah. This 2.5d klonoa-y stuff their showing now looks cool but who knows what other godawful shit they'll throw in to sabotage the game. :gloomy

Game still looks fantastic though. Sonic Team finally stumbled onto the winning formula with Unleashed.

Had Nintendo released as many god-awful mainline Mario games as Sega has with their Sonic brand, I would have jumped ship a decade ago.

Post by: Shaka Khan on May 19, 2011, 07:19:12 PM: Classic mode looks awesome, and It sounds like you have the option of playing the entire game in one mode or the other. I was afraid they'd go the Unleashed route and force the change of gameplay on you. Now my only concern is if either mode is long enough, satisfying and worth playing alone or not.
