Sonic Generations (360, PS3, 3DS) - Holiday 2011

Dont forget CD Sonic, which had a more simplified design, and wasnt as pudgy.

It's basically modern Sonic without the green eyes. |:

Am I the only one who actually, for the most part, likes the Adventure-era Sonic better?  Granted, I think his quills are way too long and look goofy as a result, but...

I just think the classic Sonic looks kinda goofy in a 3D model.  And I am honestly not sure which "classic Sonic" look they're going for.  There's Sonic 1/2, and then there's Sonic 3/K, which had a far superior art style and made Sonic look (dare I say) cooler without actually changing the design any.

You're not in the least alone.  I like modern Sonic just fine.  To me, though, Sonic is Sonic.  This isn't like, say, putting Sensei Zero next to Nakayama Zero.  More like Sensei Zero next to Inafune Zero.  The differences, while certainly there, are just too miniscule for me to really care.

maybe there's even T.V. show fans out there.

There's no "maybe" about that one.  The old SatAM cartoon has a pretty respectable following, seeings how it was quite possibly the greatest cartoon-based-on-a-game ever.  A sizeable chunk of the comic fans look to it as all we have left of those characters.  List includes Sally (who STILL trumps Amy in the popular demand department), Rotor, Bunnie, Antoine, Uncle Chuck, Dulcy (unfortunately shafted...), Lupe, Snivley, and Naugus.

Not at all.

He was still somewhat rounder and shorter, and his quills were not too detailed or emphasized. he just had like 3 spikes on his head, and that was that.

it was the same design used in the Sonic movie actually.

[Archer]

Dude, who cares? It's Sonic not Zero's helmet.

[Flame]

OR IS IT

[Archer]

I don't know, you tell me. You're the expert here.

Yes but it's pretty much the comic anyways.
And I meant the modern one.

Well considering that the sonic fanbase nitpicks about stuff as trivial as eye color, yes it is.

[Hypershell]

Can't argue with that.

Eh, I could go into a number of reasons why, despite the inspirations, the two aren't quite synonymous.  But I'll leave that one go; I don't think anyone here actually cares.

And Sonic X?  Yeah, I'm sure somebody likes that too.

Poor classic Sonic... He has a lot to catch up on...

[borockman]

That's just too cruel for grandpa Sonic.

[Waifu]

A whole lot to catch up on. I'll just sum it as the Sonic franchise is a victim of its own success.

First Gameplay Trailer

Logo & Screens:

























[parasitic bomb] is [tornado fang]ing gorgeous. It also looks like SEGA took the Colors formula and added liberal amounts of really great aestetics to it. Classic Sonic is [tornado fang]ing adorable in an old school cartoon kind of way.

[Flame]

JIZZED IN MY PANTS

that was beautiful.

I just hope it isnt a DLC game. Cant get it then.

it seems like Classic sonic will consist of mostly 2D gameplay, like the classic sonic games, whereas Modern sonic will play like in Colors. Either way, looks absolutely gorgeous.

[Turian]

My body is ready. 

[VirusChris]

First. Day. Purchase.

No expectations...


EDIT: Yeah, that was what I was going for. Some times I get confused with some words... thanks Flame!

[Flame]

Don't you mean no exceptions?

[Protoman Blues]

[Ephidiel]

works fine for me


please SEGA don't mess this up

[AquaTeamV3]

Hmm, looks interesting.  I do hope that they actually design the Classic Sonic levels well, like the way they were back in the Genesis days.  You know, not abusing bottomless pits, multiple routes that make you want to play again and see what you can find, and a general focus on a fun, momentum-based game.  From the looks of things his stages seem to be pretty open-ended, but I guess we'll find out more about that as time goes on.

Also, I really hope we get a Wii release for this.

It might be on the new system coming out.
