Sonic Generations is 2D and 3D, 360 and PS3, 2011 and fall

Let him rest Sega. There may be alot of nostalgic love for the hedgehog but the games themselves are average at best.

F’ SEGA FOR PLAYING ON MY NOSTALGIA, AGAIN!

garbage will always be garbage!

Pics added.

Waiting for some kind of alla Wolfy-shit screenshot. Not cheated again.

Sonic Rush and Sonic Colours were perfectly good games. And the non-Werehog sections of Sonic Unleashed weren’t half bad either.

It hasn’t been *all* bad. Just sayin’.

The screenshots look promising. It’s definitely pretty to look at. I’ll be waiting to see some actual gameplay for the final judgement call, of course.

I just hope it will be good as sonic colours, if thats the case it will be a good game and i will buy it for sure.

Great. Another new Sonic game that looks promising at first but will make me puke when I see the final product. Sonic Cycle beings again!

Ok I have to admit, those 2D pics look FANTASTIC. If the game looks like that, and plays oldschool, I’ll buy this. If it’s typical 3D crap, never.

This looks pretty awesome, i’m impressed.

I honestly don’t get all the hate towards newer Sonic games. They’re really not THAT bad. It wouldn’t surprise me if a lot of the people criticizing them haven’t played a single Sonic game since the 90s and are simply shrugging off every new Sonic game that comes along based on screenshots.

SEGA should maybe concentrate more on handheld Sonic games like Sonic Advance (which was just as good as any of the original 2d games), but their 3d games do seem to be getting better.

IGN gameplay trailer. WOW.

I am in. Looks good enough to warrent another closer look as the launch gets closer.

Ta. I’ve added in the video.

Sonic won’t be 2D until they realise that the other bandwagon that Sonic has been chasing all this time is 3D animation. Traditional animation is slowly making a comeback, so why doesn’t someone try making a 2D game that – shock horror – uses two dimensional art? An incredibly detailed sprite running across the lush landscape of a painted multi-plane camera effect? Nope. 15 years on and they still wish they’d made Donkey Kong Country.

Let me clear away this web of garbage that you all have created for yourselves and put facts to brass tacks.

The Sonic games have never really been that good. Sure, they were impressive when they first came around. Seeing Sega’s “Blast Processing”(TM) was neat because it allowed you to run around super fast. Unfortunately, we were playing a 2D game so we couldn’t see what was coming. And, oh, how they toyed with that.

You’ll be tearing along at Mach 2 happy as pie only to have your progress abruptly halted by a lone enemy who promptly robs you of all your rings. To this day, Sonic designers don’t understand the fundamental precept of their game design. That is, if you’re going to have the player run around super fast, you need to either slow them down before putting an obstacle in their path or warn them some how that an obstacle is coming so that they can avoid it.

This death trap garbage has got to stop. But Sonic team seemingly doesn’t understand this, and soldiers on with the same broken game design game after game, generation after generation.

Die, Sonic. Die.

Yeah, there’s a pretty huge distinction between Mario who experimented pretty wildly, but got somewhere, and Sonic who was too mired in doing the same old thing, and never got anywhere as a result.

I grew up on Sonic, but I haven’t gotten any wiser on him, or what that whole world is all about. I know Eggman has a lot of machines and he apparently traps cuddly animals in robots, but the game just hasn’t ever moved from that.

Meanwhile Mario did 64, Sunshine, Karts, Galaxy, Bowser’s Inside Story.

I did love the Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, but that’s pretty much it since playing the first two on my Megadrive. Oh, and Spinball. Why it never went further is beyond me.

this has to be said: sega are genius for releasing this only on the 360 and ps3. SUCH GENIUS DECISIONS! because really most of sonic’s fans aren’T on nintendo’S consoles

How can sega STILL be releasing sonic games. None of them are better than below par. Even Sonic 4 Ep 1 wasn’t rated that well and that went completely to basics. None of them could possibly have sold very well and yet they keep coming. WHY Sega, How can this be a sound business model?

this actually looks realy good.
