Wow, though I wish they didn't use the midi.

Anyway where is that Shadow clip taken from?

Now that should become a new meme and it's from the Shadow the Hedgehog commericals. There two versions of it, one with him preparing to performing Chaos Blast and another with a weapon.

By the way, I got to play Sonic Generations at Discover Mills in Georgia and the game feels more like Colors than Unleashed but I got use to the controls though. I've also won a free Playstation Move by winning some dance contest (which I can't really dance). So, I'm glad that I don't have to buy one when HotD Overkill:EC.

Crazy details on the opening cutscene:
http://www.allaboutgames.co.uk/previews/PS3/Sonic+Generations/108/

At the start of the game, everyone is attending a picnic in honour of Sonic's 20th, when all of a sudden a mysterious dark force intrudes and sends everyone, including our spiky blue protagonist, back in time. Sonic is finding a way to get himself and everyone else back to the present time and along the way he bumps into many familiar faces including his younger (albeit chubbier) self! The two Sonics team up and work together to save their friends once again.

I'd assume the birthday will not mention the age. Otherwise, Sonic being 15/16 years old will be over and he'd be stuck at twenty. The idea of a picnic in a Sonic game is so silly, but I love the concept. Why not? It's an easy way to get all the characters together.

So I guess Generations is pulling a Pac-Man World on us it seems:

Well I bloody well home its NOTHING like that ^

[Trippled]

I dunno why they ever made Pac-Man a cutesy generic plattformer. Orginally Pac-Man was all about Fear and Tension. They should a modernization, based on these fundamentals.

New info about a possible PC version:

I know it has been confirmed several times from retailers and even sega themselves (even though they don't want to admit it) but I have in fact, managed to preorder the game from my local game station store! I'm a big PC gamer and wanted a solid confirmation that the port was coming out so I decided there was no harm in trying so I asked and three of the workers there were able to confirm it was coming out and showed me their PC release charter as proof but they also managed to inform me on a few important things:
This port is STEAMPLAY compatible so there will be achievements and cloud syncing of save files, but this also means this version WILL in fact get DLC since steam supports it and they told me I would be getting the casino nights DLC with my preorder!

Now, if this info is legit or not, who knows...

[Barry the Nomad]

DLC was obvious, thanks to the pre-order stuff. I assume they'll do the extra acts route like Unleashed, only this time 100% of the content will be worth playing! :D I'm hoping they release some classic maps via DLC.

Psst- I see chilli dogs on the table!


Emerald Coast? I bet this actually takes place in Ocean Palace!

I'm not the biggest sonic fan, but I'vr at least tried most of them.  Who is the dude on the left with the antennas?

[Barry the Nomad]

That's Charmy Bee, from the 32X Chaotix and sporting his Sonic Heroes redesign. In 2D he controlled like a debug mode (pun not intended) and in 3D he controlled like Tails.



He's alright. I like him mostly because he has 2D roots and is of the classic era. Cream however... ugh. At least Marine is nowhere to be seen... yet.

[Emmett The Crab]

I didn't get very far in Sonic Heroes, and I had a 32X with about 6 games, but never played Knuckles Chaotix.  Thanks!  That is one colossal bee.  He's a leviathan.

[Chaosmaster8753]

Yerp, pretty similar to Pac-Man World alright, except the party actually happens.

Emerald Coast? I bet this actually takes place in Ocean Palace!

Hmm...

[STORM!]

  Let's commemorate Vector's 20th too! He was created at the same time Sonic was.

 Charmy Bee also made his debut at the same time, right? But it was in a comic book.

 Too bad Iizuka is not bringing all the Sonic Family characters back.


 I hate him ;pp
