Sonic Generations General Discussion

[Kori-Maru]

@Sharky: Yeah the Vector Mission in Rooftop Run did suck for me.

Classic Crisis City and Rooftop Run gave me this sense of nostalgia as if I were playing a new version of Sonic 2. Just by listening to the music piece by piece.

And I have to warn you guys that some of game's achievements and trophys maybe glitched. My last one wouldn't unlock for me so I may have to start over again, missions and all.

One question for Barry, are you going to upload the DVD footage of the documentary from the Collectors Edition?

I was going to, but some kind YouTube user already did! It's in four parts, the first is below and the rest are along the sidebar:

Listening to Sega staff (new and old) speak about their 'battle' against Nintendo lights a fire in me, It's such a David vs. Goliath story and there’s so much passion. I love underdog stories at the best of times, Sega were like the rebel alliance and Nintendo the Empire, Sega came out of nowhere with some of the most risky moves and marketing the industry had ever seen and it paid off, don't you just love it when a plan comes together?

Alas the brightest sparks burn the quickest, while Sega are no longer making home consoles I don't think I can HELP but love them as a company, it's engrained into me now (and probably some of you) because we grew up as Sega fans in that 90's 'console war' era of Sega.

Gotta love Sega and their ahead of time approach to everything they did and still do.

Anyway, this is what the Sonic Generations press review kit looks like:

Seems that its limited to 12,000. So it shouldn't be too hard to acquire.

Feels good that Sonic has overshadowed Ratchet and Clank. Insomniac is the new Sonic Team?

Planet Wisp is the one level I didn't like both Modern and Classic.  I have yet to finish the challenge Doppelganger  in Classic Sonic because its very tedious and long. -__-

i was having the same feeling after my first play through but when i revisited the level more it grows on me specially the classic ver.

My review if anyone wants to read it:

Anyone remember Masato Nakamura saying how he composed the music for Sonic 1+2 more like a movie then a game? I wonder what people who hate modern game music being composed like films would think of that?

You mentioned that just as I came here to post this:

Very cool experiment in making music for a Sonic game that plays out like a soundtrack, changing according to the actions and events. Awesome stuff.

Some of the missions were clever. There's one in City Escape with Rouge that you play as Classic Sonic. Loved the tribute to the Starlight Zone.

[Barry the Nomad]

Yeah! A lot of the missions have classic gimmicks not found in the regular acts. Make me hope for DLC main acts that use these mission gimmick items. Like Speed Highway with the Starlight Zone teeter totters would be awesome.

[Chaosmaster8753]

Which missions do people here think are some of the better ones?

[Barry the Nomad]

The modern boarding mission in Rooftop Run is AWESOME. Felt like a second modern act in my opinion. Never thought I'd city escape board in an Unleashed stage.

I also really liked the classic Tails carrying Sonic mission in Chemical Plant.

Got me a little too happy, but I do agree on the DLC. Starting to get bored on what we have right now.

[Barry the Nomad]

Completed all the missions. Classic Rooftop Run and Planet Wisp were a BITCH!
