"Sonic x Shadow Generations" seems to be the title of the Sonic Generations Remaster
- Thread starter Lant_War
- Start date
They should put one of the Frontiers cyber stages that is copied from Generations back into Shadow Generations as a new stage.
I have news for all of you.
SA2 Shadow is Classic Shadow.
Dude has been around longer than the actual Classic Sonic was by the time Modern Sonic touched ground.
22 years!!
Actually I legit googled "Sonic inflation" and ThatsMyTrunks's twitter account is like the third result because they posted the joke on there lol7.

If it was ever canon, it's certainly decanonized by now, but the dialog in game can be taken as subtle hints that Sonic is actually the ultimate lifeform. There's also some backstory from the game's Japanese strategy guide that poses the question if Shadow was created on the Ark, or if he was created by Gerald at the GUN base where Eggman later uncovers him. There's some deliberate obfuscation by mention of an unrecovered capsule from the Ark. The tl;dr of the theory is that Sonic could have been the original creation on the Ark, and Shadow was made as a shadow of Sonic's image and implanted with false memories. It doesn't 100% make sense when looking critically at it, but is fun to ponder.
The rest is at the link, but that's the relevant part.
But that's not how Sega treats it. Classic Sonic is how Sonic looked in the past. This thread is about a remaster of the game first cemented that Classic vs Modern is not just an artstyle difference since the whole game is about Classic and Modern teaming up. Can't put that genie back in the cryotube!
I just want a console version of Sonic Adventure 1 that isn't based on the shitty DX version.
Give me the Dreamcast version in widescreen, 60 FPS, and the unlockables in from the later versions. Basically the PC version with the BetterSADX mod but on console.

Heroes could honestly be a real good game if they remastered it. Fix the glitchy, slippery ass movement. Be able to turn off in-level dialog and wham. You just turned a 6/10 into an 8.5 right there.
And see that's why Generations secretly sucksBut that's not how Sega treats it. Classic Sonic is how Sonic looked in the past.

Screw Gens let the art style switch free like the wind once more
Its been enough time that a new Era could get 3 games/levels. Lost World, Mania & Forces if we were conservative and Frontiers/Superstars were too new. If this happens, new Rival & Boss fights should be Classic Sonic's, OG Generations had Modern have more than Classic. But even this feels bit much.
...Although going by leaks, if this is more substantial than a port, they might just create Shadow stages for all 9 current levels, Act 3s one could say. But if this was case, that would also mean significant additions too.
I do feel like we are guaranteed token tie-in Animation & tie-in comic lol

The controls is the biggest thing they can touch up on, but the other major flaw it has is needing to play through the same game 4 separate times to unlock the final boss.
That needs to be adjusted somehow. It's too much to ask of the player.
Fking seriously. I played BetterSADX and was shocked at how much of an upgrade it was over vanilla DX.
I was a kid when I played DX, but I remember it being fun. I never played the Dreamcast version. What was so bad about it? I did like the DX models a lot more, but that's the only difference I know.
I think it's more likely to be 4-5 levels rather than 2-3 (SA2, Heroes, Shadow the Hedgehog, 06, maaaaaybe Forces) but I guess that's kinda splitting hairs
You were right and it's worth saying so. Glad that this ended up being a bigger release than I expected, and Generations on Switch could be real cool.
Now my hope is for decent ports on day 1. While I love Sega, I am still slightly concerned they might fumble things so to speak! While I feel even if the Switch port isnt so good it'll still sell the best, I feel they really should put tons of effort into getting it as good as possible.
So here's hoping the whole thing turms out super good, maybe at a discount price because even though its excellent, its fairly short as well so Id rather not pay full price on it a second time!
I'm sure they just wanted to be able to advertise a handful of new features in the back of the box, and beef the graphics up ever so slightly to make it appear as current gen as possible for as cheap as possible
Well they failed. It does not look current gen at all. It just looks worse
Not saying they did a good job, just saying that was probably their intention
Dont know why people are so hung up on this specifically with a series that has played so fast & loose with the overall continuity that the very next time classic Sonic interacted with modern Sonic he was now "from another dimension" instead of the past. Like is anyone losing sleep that Sticks was mentioned in Frontiers despite being from another continuity? Was anyone super defensive of the "only male hedgehogs can turn super" mandate that only recently got overturned? Anyone particularly miffed that Sonic Superstars is in "the past" but introduces a bunch of chaos emerald powers the characters are apparently just ignoring in "future" games, including one thats basically chaos control? Sonic Team is so unbothered with keeping the moon from SA2 consistent that they handwave the numerous games where it appears full as "just having its other side turned to us" which isnt even how the moon physically works.But that's not how Sega treats it. Classic Sonic is how Sonic looked in the past.

But having a chibi version of one of the most popular characters in the series running around in a 2d platformer is where we gotta draw the line cus tHe lOrE is suddenly super important & ironclad.
Yeah, I think Generations was the last Sonic game I've played too (besides a few minutes of Mania).
I remembered thinking it was a really good game that would probably be even better if I replayed the levels, but I never got around to it.
Sega is hung up on it now. After the disaster that was Sonic Forces' story and realizing fans do care they hired a lore manager to get the mess they made under control.
The story of this new game has nothing to do with Shadow exploring the classic era. It's about him revisiting his past, and they don't have to worry about it because he looked the same in the past as he does now.
Superstars got a bit weird with the super mandate again. After Origins kept Super Tails, Super Knuckles, and introduced Super Amy (still without giving them real transformations) they clarified in Superstars that they aren't actually "Super" but just have super powers.
Which is dumb as fuck since they gave Trip a real Super form.
They explained in a podcast that the emerald powers in Superstars are caused by Northstar Island.

I think her Dragon form isnt actually a traditional Super form either.

Sonic Team crossed the bridge themselves by making Classic Sonic a younger Sonic (even though they should be close to the same age). Even if fans weren't so concerned with keeping the bed how they made it, Sonic Team themselves are clearly very invested in that continuity. Forces was a big mistake that they walked back (and depending on who you ask, a completely fake misunderstanding but that's a different can of worms).
The 'Only male hedgehogs' thing is both very misunderstood and even completely upheld by Origins/Superstars, not the opposite. And even though it isn't in the game itself, there is apparently a concrete lore reason as to why the Emerald powers only occur on the North Star Islands behind the scenes (along with apparently a lot of background story and lore).
The truth is that Sega are very much trying to keep things consistent now more than ever. Recently there have been and will continue to be bumps in the road regarding that as they work back from the beginning to reassess everything but they are currently in a transitional period that will take time before rippling out into the wider series. They could obviously throw it all out again but right now this is how things are.
There's a fairly popular theory that Gerald Robotnik based Shadow off of the Super Sonic mural featured in Sonic 3 & Knuckles, hence his quills looking exactly the same as Super Sonic's from that era. Another big part of that theory is that the Biolizard was based off of the Perfect Chaos mural from Sonic Adventure 1.
Hey, I don't know if Black Doom's voice actor gonna be?
Also, Sonic X Shadow Generations is Sonic Generations Ultimate, right?
Tails' Voice Actor should be Colleen Ann O'Shaughnessey
Knuckles' Voice Actor should be Dave Mitchell
Blaze's Voice Actor should be Erica Lindbeck
Silver's Voce Actor should be Bryce Papenbrook
