Wow, those hubworlds look GREAT. More like this, Sonic Team.

Re: Sonic Generations
Video's gone. Sadface. Any mirrors?
Ditto, man, on the clouds especially. That WUBBB sound they do is like my third favourite Sonic 3 sound effect.Crowbar wrote:They're continuing to try to give me an aneurysm with their historically inaccurate sound effects. Couldn't they have used an actual 1-up jingle for 1-ups instead of the Chaos Emerald jingle in at least the classic levels? The clouds in Sky Sanctuary also make completely the wrong sound (this is important because I always loved those clouds).

Re: Sonic Generations
I think this address is the same thing - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibuHW981wCE
I'm kind of disappointed that more elements of Sky Sanctuary weren't used, namely Mecha Sonic and some sort of interaction with the Death Egg. Maybe that'll be in Modern Sonic's run through the stage?

Say what now?Crowbar wrote:No Classic Amy either. :(
I didn't watch the video, because I don't want to spoil the game for myself, but that's really sucky news. I was looking forward to seeing old-school Amy again.
Meh. To each his own. I loved Sonic Adventure 2 and still do to this day. The graphics were a step-down from the original, but the gameplay was better, framerate was smoother, more replay value, Chao Gardens were improved, there was more downloadable content. It was the only time Shadow wasn't an annoying tit, and we got to play as Eggman! (And abusing Omochao was endless amounts of fun)Redrappy wrote:I'm embarrassed to say I ever liked SA2 in the first place. It's completely yucky.

Re: Sonic Generations
So, uh... I guess I could pretend I was really annoyed by the non-canonical sound effects and absense of classic Bean, but... that looked really, really good. I'm super pleased with how the classic Sonic stages are shaping up. And even the modern Chemical Plant stage looked good, with a surprisingly good chunk of 2D platforming. This whole thing continues to ooze with an almost-alien amount of effort and care.

Yeah that video took away any reservations I had left. This looks all kinds of great.

I have to say, the editing on these trailers is really, really crisp.

Re: Sonic Generations
I like the way they're using the moments during a cool down transition to show off what's next in each level. I really, really like the fact that they seem to have cottoned on to the importance of cool down transitions.

Off the top of my head, the mushrooms (BWORTT) and the door that slams shut after the laser boss in Flying Battery (JUH-JUB).Crowbar wrote:What are one and two? :3
Echoing the general sentiment here, but this game looks fucking impressive. Hydrocity DLC and I'll suck Iizuka's right nut.

Dammit, I'm a sucker for Speed Highway with the Sonic 2 snare.

Re: Sonic Generations
I hope that bit near the end with Shadow grinding is part of the boss fight and not merely a part of Shadow's cinematic introduction. It looks pretty neat!

I never thought that my favourite music track from Chaotix would be in the game. Good stuff!

Re: Sonic Generations
I'm a little concerned as to how there's been no more mention of the hypothetical Steam release, and there's no PC logo on any of their trailers.

Re: Sonic Generations
it's difficult to hear but 30 seconds into the 28 min video, "door to summer" plays in the red museum room. Pretty awesome.

Re: Sonic Generations
Is that the Station Square hotel in there?

Re: Sonic Generations
I'm not sure if it's specifically supposed to be "the" hotel, but you're right! It certainly looks similar. Maybe it's the building you run down in Goin' Down? The exit at the bottom is sort of tiled that way.

Re: Sonic Generations
I wonder if we'll see "At Dawn" in any capacity. The original is far too busy for Modern Sonic, but I think it could be adapted into something nice for Classic Sonic.

Re: Sonic Generations
If you're talking about the hotel seen in the 360 classic shot, I don't think so. It looks exactly like the area in the original you fall into after the run down the building in the first half of the level. I think they originally used a few of the same assets for that and the hotel, though, so some similarities wouldn't surprise me.Esrever wrote:Is that the Station Square hotel in there?
Speaking of level halves, I'm surprised we haven't seen any assets from the second half of Speed Highway. Perhaps it looks a little too much like City Escape?

New SS gameplay. The level design is just great. There's a great sense of flow. This kind of stuff makes modern sonic look like complete dog shit. Which it is. Here's hoping they axe modern s. altogether after this game and just focus on Sonic 5 for consoles or Sonic and Knuckles 2.

Re: Sonic Generations
This is a new Sonic game and yet I am optimistically and eagerly awaiting its release without any cynic remarks or grave concerns clouding my excitement. Never thought I'd see that happen again.
