Sonic Generations General Discussion

Man, that special edition box set is hot.

[Barry the Nomad]

I know, right? It totally kicks the 10th birthday pack's ass, and I hail that thing as one of the coolest Dreamcast special editions. It has literally every thing a special edition would usually have aside from maybe a shirt. There is not one bit of that box that isn't cool. The documentary DVD maybe, just because it is probably region locked.

[Kori-Maru]

Only if Aaron Webber had the power to use his marketing skills to bring the collector's edition to the United States of AMERICA!

[Bex]

I've ordered the Collectors edition too from Amazon (UK). First time in my life I've bought a special/collectors edition. Unless pre-owned and only comes with a tin case lol. But yeah, I couldnt pass this up, I had to have it, despite it's high price and my lack of money :s. But, yeah I'd be kicking myself if I didnt get it. Fortunately my partner had £30 worth of Amazon vouchers so not as much to pay when it does come out .

^ From TGS: mega track of modern Chemical Plant, Seaside Hill and Rooftop Run

It's a live recording, so not 1:1 with the final game versions.

So how bout that super long preview video posted on the front page?

[CrazyT]

Saw it.. and im super hyped for the classic gameplay now. I think every gripe i have with the game, is made up by the incredibly awesome level design.

Modern gameplay was a bit meh for me while before I had praised it more over the classic gameplay. It just looked like "been there done that"

Damn it, I waited all day long to watch the video and now it's been taken off, aparentely the video was not supossed to air yet.

Updated video on main page. If SEGA removes it, then they remove it. : P

[Radrappy]

man this video was wonderful.  I have lots of confidence in this title.  The only thing I disliked was the level design from modern chemical plant.  That was kind of poopy.  Classic sonic is going to outshine modern sonic by a mile.

Thank you!

As one of the few Segabitters who doesn't play Sonic games, I must say this game is looking really cool and I'll probably get it.  Maybe not at launch, but still... it looks gorgeous.

[CrazyT]

Yeah I think the last couple of weeks with what they have shown convinced me as well. Didn't think that would ever happen but it seems they really nailed classic sonic's level design to such a great degree. Also after reading a preview at spong it was confirmed that it wasnt just the game that was gonna be fun, but the game will have an awful lot of content which makes it a mustbuy for a fan.

There's a new "hint" about the possibility of a PC version.
When the modern era trailer was posted into SEGA blogs, Sonic Generations was listed as "coming November 2011 for X360, PS3, PC, and 3DS", but a short while after the blog post was made public, the PC version was removed from the list.
Picture showing the PC version being mentioned:

EDIT: As if the blog post wasn't enough, Sonic Generations pre-order just appeared on the Steam Registry and the Direct2Drive store page.
