Sonic Generations Discussion

[CosmicCastaway]

I don't know what everyone is complaining about. I think the visuals look fine.

[Suzuki Yu]

Don't forget its a Sonic game, which means it needs to render everything at a blistering speed, they need some sacrifices  graphics and details to achieve that in good framerate.

The graphics don't look much better than a first-gen PSP game, like Pursuit Force: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnvWoBdy-Sc
The 3DS can do much better than this.

just wait for the first trailer and i bet you will be surprised a lot.

I will only be surprised if it actually showcases what the 3DS can do with graphics. From the scans, I can already tell this game is miles below what the 3DS can do:

I would be happy to eat crow though.

Seriously.  Admit it guys, shit looks budgeted.  This and shinobi.

It might not be the best looking 3DS game, but I'm sure it wont be the worst either. Maybe you should wait for gameplay before you write it off...

Also I don't think it is fair to compare a first party game where they have had longer with the tech and probably know the ins and out a lot better to any 3rd party game. By all means Nintendos games SHOULD look great on Nintendo hardware.

I'm not complaining about the gameplay, though I don't know enough about it besides modern sonic being like the Sonic Rush games, which I like.

Also, I posted videos of Metal Gear Solid 3DS and Resident Evil Revelations above the Mario 3DS screens, both non-Nintendo games that have great visuals.

So you posted more tech demo stuff. I don't care about tech demos.

Ok watched them, the RE one looks really good.

The Metal Gear Solid one actually looks really dull and ugly, bad textures and all and stupid shit keeps happening that screams 'this is only happening because you're playing a 3D game and we want things to pop out at you'

I don't think it looks that much better then what we'll get out of Sonic Generations on 3DS...

[Barry the Nomad]

My only complaint would be that the 3DS screens need more clutter. The GHZ screen is too stark, there is less going on there than in the original game.

[Radrappy]

Sega games : not the best looking, but not the worst looking!  I remember when Sega stood for excellence.  At the very least they should be making games on the same level as Capcom and Konami.  Generations and Shinobi kind of look like games you'd expect a company like THQ to make.

The Resident Evil video wasn't a tech demo.
Here are some more screens from better looking 3DS games:




Now let's compare this to Sonic Generations:



I know these are scans and the quality isn't good, but I can already tell that it doesn't stand up well against other 3DS games.

[CrazyT]

You know, you guys convinced me. Both Shinobi and sonic generations 3ds are looking pretty bad. Allthough For sonic generations I couldn't care less as I would expect there wouldn't be too much effort put into it beside the HD version(which IS gorgeous).

Shinobi on the other hand. I don't know man.

[Aki-at]

Did the main version of the game cease to exist? I thought it would be fairly obvious where SEGA was going to pour the majority of their resources at.

You mean like this?



and this,



and this?



etc... It's not the end of the world, it's a 3DS game, probably upscaled from a game that started on the DS, in fact I'd bet my bottom dollar on it. It suck but what are you gonna do? (Apart from moan about it on the internet...)

[TimmiT]

Sega has some great looking games. It's probably for the best that they started the games on the DS (assuming they did), seeing how the end result won't be as rushed as it would have been if they started making the games when they got the 3DS dev kits. (again, assuming they started working on the games before they got the dev kits)
