I'm kinda scared for Chaos' look, going by that reveal.

[Hypershell]

I dunno, I thought a dark Perfect Chaos looked pretty damn awesome.

[Bueno Excelente]

It's not dark. It's green. Him being a massive water god monster was what made him scary. How can we blow him to bits if he's an actual Godzilla thinger?

[Hypershell]

Horn, teeth, and eyes are green (and the eyes were always green).  The rest is black/dark blue.

He's a solid now. He's supposed to be a liquid, with a brainy thing inside which screams "WEAK POOOOOOOINT!"

[Rayl]

Maybe Chaos is more liquid like further down, would be an interesting effect.

Liquid with a solid head? I dunno how they'd make that design work, specially with what we got so far.

I just hope the final design is good.

Posted on: October 11, 2011, 11:30:44 AMAlso PC version confirmed for about half the price and with Steamworks. Direct2Drive and Green Man Gaming are selling pre-orders now.

Here are the requirements, posted by Destructoid:

Sonic the Hedgehog regularly prefers consoles to PC, but Sonic Generations has been rumored to hit computers for a while. Those rumors have been given a dose of confirmation thanks to Direct2Drive and Green Man Gaming, who have pre-orders up for the game right now.

The upcoming platformer celebration is priced at a modest $29.99 and has the following system requirements:

Minimum Requirements
Microsoft Windows 7/Vista/XP Intel Pentium Dual-Core T4200 (2x2.0GHz) or AMD equivalent
2GB RAM (Windows 7/XP)/3GB RAM (Windows Vista)
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 / ATI Radeon HD 2900
11 GB free hard drive space

Recommended Requirements
Microsoft Windows 7 Intel Core i5 @ 2.66 GHz / AMD Phenom II X4 @ 3.0 GHz
3GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 / ATI Radeon HD 5850
11 GB free hard drive space

I can run it smooth as baby butter. MASTER RACE JUSTIFIED

Also SILVER

I mean, solid head with it gradually becoming more liquid like further down. It's just how i picture it in my head i guess.

Also i'm likin them new pics, Crisis City it's time for some redemption! The Silver battle actually looks like it'll be interesting.

[Rin]

PC Version confirmed? YES YES YES!
I just hope it has a boxed release here in Poland... If the game's good, I'm buying in a heartbeat.

[Kieran]

Ch, my PC would never run that game with that list of system requirements.  Not unless I put a hell of a video card in it.

Thing is, the beasty itself was perfectly fine without stuff like that.

All water with a skull inside his head.

And it's all part of his attitude. First time I saw this dude, I was SCARED as all hell.

[Rayl]

Don't get me wrong dude, i totally share your opinion. Maybe if we're lucky it'll be the same only they've chosen to emphasise the skull part more.

11 gigs holy crapola

11 gigs holy crapola

I for one, am not surprised at all.
It is a modern game after all...
I just hope that 6/7 gigs of that isn't FMV cutscenes.

[Bueno Excelente]

11 gigs is peanuts.

The Old Republic beta was about 40 gigs. Shogun: Total War 2 was about 20 gigs. Modern games are normally about 12 gigs and counting.

Add to that huge levels to speed through, all with beautiful textures? You're gonna have a big game.

[Mirby]

But on my ancient POS 72 gig hard drive, it'll be hard to fit.

Oh well, you gotta make sacrifices sometimes...

[Align]

I'm too used to thinking of it as a platformer, despite that only being part of the game, I think.

72 gigs? How old is your machine?

Last time I had a hard drive 100GB big it was about... 2001 or something. If you switched other parts, you should have at least switched out the HDD too, they're pretty cheap.

[Mirby]

Almost 4 years old. My parents got it for me for school, thus the small size (so I wouldn't use it for games; obviously they didn't know me too well). Yet they got one for business (that they only use for solitaire) and it has a 120GB drive. Or 250GB. Regardless, it's bigger than my drive, and for no good reason.

I haven't switched anything out, either.

But I do plan on getting an external soon.

Jesus Christ, you got SCAMMED big time. Never buy stuff like that without checking first. My current PC's around a year old, discount model and it has 500GB. And it's a friggin' laptop. 500GB or 1TB should be a consistent HDD size, you got sold a computer with a jurassic part.

I fully recomend you check out the list I linked up there. It's got a consistent guide with the best parts to build a computer with, in cheap and easy ways, along with places where to buy them. There are tons of retailers trying to push overpriced old stuff on people. Don't get tricked!

[Mirby]

I didn't buy it; it was a gift. As such, I barely had any say in what went on it (IT'S A GIFT YOU DON'T GET TO KNOW). I blame Dell's website, since that's where they got it from. This is also why computer-illiterate folks shouldn't buy a computer for those who are computer-literate.

I was able to convince them to get XP instead of Vista though. And I'll keep that in mind when I upgrade, which will be as soon as I can.

A 3-minute battery does not serve me well.

NO DELL.

DELL BAD.

NO DELL. EVIL.

BAD DELL. BAD.

[Mirby]

As I said, was bought for me, had barely any say in it.

Trust me, when I upgrade, it won't be to another Dell.

My computer is a mish-mash of old and new parts.  I've got six gigs of RAM and a 750w power supply, and 750 gigs of total HDD space, but a motherboard, CPU, and graphics card that all date back to 2007/2008, the RAM is all DDR2 and two gigs of it is about half as fast as the rest of it.  It can probably run some new games decently, but I certainly wouldn't expect something like the Hedgehog Engine to perform at anything close to acceptable.
