Planet Wisp is easily among the best Sonic stages of all time. There's a reason that's the one they chose for Generations despite Tropical Resort being much more recognizable.

The problem with including other characters in the sequel would be that the "modern" versions of those characters were terrible. To go from classic Knuckles smacking through walls, climbing, and gliding around, to suddenly hunting Master Emerald shards in Act 2 would be agonizing. Also: Tails in a derpy mecha or Tails racing a cheating Sonic? Hmmm...

If we're talking Sonic soundtracks then I will always have a huge soft spot for Scrambled Egg Zone.

Too bad Planet Wisp in Generations was kinda [parasitic bomb].

One of the best Sonic remixes ever made.

Got a mod to cut most of the BS out. It's pretty alright now.

I was actually not that big of a fan of a large portion of Generations, so I can't say I'm too excited. I keep hearing good things about Colors, but the majority of the people praising that seemed to like Generations a whole lot, so I'm not too keen to go too far out of my way to find a copy.

irgpie · **Reply #1057 on:** January 09, 2016, 04:07:43 AM

Colors is mostly 2.5D with very limited use of boost. Most emphasis is on pure platforming with some mix of the Wisp powers. It's one of the slower paced Sonic games but fairly solid for what it is. Besides going after Red Rings though, it can be blown through in probably one sitting, so certainly find as cheap a deal as you can.

If they really do go down the Generations 2 route, i'll be blunt; i'd rather they don't rely on fan votes after what happened for the first game as a result, and I can only hope that it isn't rushed to heck considering the first game felt like there were just so many little things absent. Like supposedly pieces of the story at large getting cut out altogether due to the rushed release (according to claims that Classic Tails would've been properly introduced and that more cutscenes like the end of Chemical Plant would've been present throughout the game).

But then i'd also hope that this time they acknowledge DLC as more than just one pinball table, and that the game mechanics are actually fairly expansive to accommodate for all the potential content, seeing as modders who tried to map in content from other games have to struggle with the limitations Generations has hard-coded for its somewhat-limited enemies and objects.

Amatiramisu · **Reply #1059 on:** January 09, 2016, 08:52:46 PM

I mean, for all intents and purposes modders managed to get the majority of Unleashed, the entirety of Planet Wisp, and even some SA stages into Generations' engine. That's impressive.

Yeah, but with the Unleashed mod in mind, a lot of it was the stage routes pre-existing, and from there with objects like those launchers dependent on button inputs or the QTE segments it got simplified (albeit not a real problem there), and other things like the falling ice blocks were improvised from other objects in the game itself. It took a bit of creativity and improvisation to re-create everything but it was a damn good effort. And one of the project leads dug into Generations' code, found remnants of Unleashed's shaders (they got simplified between the two games), fixed up what he could while getting things from Unleashed itself and attempted to inject them back into Generations. Not 1:1 but considering it was the same guy who made modding and mapping so heavily possible in the first place, you don't get in the way of the Sonic community when they find modding potential.

It's more so that I hope there's just more content or assets in general to create more with, even if it's not specifically for the modders in general.

Amatiramisu · **Reply #1061 on:** January 10, 2016, 12:13:14 AM

A bit of a fantasy of mine is real modding tools for the Generations engine. IE how Valve handles the Source Engine. Fully available modding tools for fans to make their own stages, etc. I get modders are doing that already for Generations proper but I mean Sonic Team fully supporting the practice/taking a Mario Maker stance on it.

Again, thank you guys & gals to turning me onto this soundtrack. It's so good.

Did you already hear Aquatic Palace Zone yet?

Protoman Blues · **Reply #1064 on:** January 10, 2016, 03:45:00 AM

Do you mean Aquarium Park? If so, then yeah. I DLed the entire soundtrack already.

Phi · **Reply #1065 on:** January 10, 2016, 03:46:31 AM

I posted Aquarium Park on the previous page.

Huh must have skimmed over that.

Hypershell · **Reply #1067 on:** January 10, 2016, 08:11:22 PM

For being a slower-paced Sonic game, the Red Rings were still a [sonic slicer] in Colors. I was pretty disappointed that they FINALLY put Super Sonic into stages and made it so goddamn inaccessible, I wound up cheating for that one after I beat the game's story.

Soundtrack was surprisingly good, even if I do prefer the Dreamcast/Storybook "beat". And the controls took a little getting used to, but yeah, Colors was one of the better of the recent Sonic games.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #1068 on:** January 10, 2016, 09:13:33 PM

So fun fact....I actually own Colors. Hahaha, I just never played it. So I did last night. Yeah, it's a lot of fun!

I mean of the 100+ Steam games I own I honestly forgot I owned Tomb Raider for a while so there's no surprise.

Phi · **Reply #1073 on:** January 10, 2016, 10:18:15 PM

Well, I mean, it makes more sense to forget digital games than physical.

Most of the reason I buy physical copies is so I can look and admire them on my shelf from time to time.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #1074 on:** January 10, 2016, 11:16:33 PM

They use to be on my shelf, but then I needed that shelf for figures. So the games went into a drawer.
