Me who already pre ordered day one: mmmm, yes. This is for me
I pre ordered too. We bouta have fun while the other sonic fans are complaining in the comments (I already saw someone complaining saying the shadow levels look bad and look bad to control9
@@thegameslayer7574 nobody hates sonic more than sonic fans. I personally think the game looks great and am getting excited more each day
@@rhysburns5420 yeah especially the cinematics. I love the fact they are adding cinematics with the gameplay cause that was amazing in frontiers. It should be more dynamic and more anime like and that's exactly what they are going for and it is perfect
@@thegameslayer7574 this is why whenever I play sonic games no matter how "bad" people say it is, I refuse to listen to those "fans" as i'd rather TRY out the game for myself, regardless how hated it may be
@@thegameslayer7574 While I love some sonic games, I dislike others like Sonic forces, & Lost World because of their lame jokes, having explain the joke, cringe moments, bad storytelling, and ignore events of previous games, for example Tails being afraid of Chaos & Silver doing absolutly nothing in Sonic Forces. He literally went back in time to fix his broken timeline/future & nearly killed Sonic multiple times... and he did nothing in Forces.
Sonic Boom & Sonic 06 are their own bad and while Sonic Generations & Sonic Colors (wii) have barebones storytelling it makes up for in amazing, replayable gameplay. Sonic Colors (ds) fixed wii's story by including other characters in each world.
Besides that I do agree with great cinematics and heavy drip marketing. They look amazing, but I hope the pre-ordering doesn't detour them to cut corners and not flesh out the game just for a quick cash grab on nostalgia. The base game is great already, but it feels like they're using Sonic Generations to promote Shadow like how they did with Sonic Forces with Sonic Colors/Sonic Generations...
I really don't understand why so little people are aware of this.
Sonic Generations and Shadow Generations are in 2 different engines, Hedgehog Engine 1 & 2 respectively, and the same frameworks built with it. This is why Shadow can't drift, and he has the double jump. It's built of of Sonic Frontiers. This is why the jump balls are the same, 360 air movement is the same, graphics are the same, boost effects are the same, air boost is the same, and the combat is the same. It's in the same engine and framework as Frontiers, and different to Generations.
Edit: I have been informed that the Hedgehog Engines are just for lighting, and the gameplay was just made along side it. In that case, my point still stands, but I'd just like to make that clear, so I edited the og comment to highlight it. Thanks to everyone who corrected me. 🙏
And probably plays as bad as the cyberspace stages
@@FloofPuppy 🤦
This is why we as Sonic fans continue to be ridiculed.
From the gameplay, and people playing it, it seems to use controls from the open world, not cyberspace. Many people have said that it controls very well, and Fadel says it's "like cyberspace but good", which is just the open world.
People do know its Frontiers engine and the other half is a reprint.
@@TheReZisTLust he doesn't mention it here. GullySama himself even directly compares the 2 and gets confused as to why certain moves are different or omitted. When I say that I mean the people making videos of it. 50/50 chance they neve mention the engines
Hedgehog Engine 2 is a lighting engine. The physics the boost games used was called Havok Engine which they don't use anymore.
Classic Sonic is getting a Sonic Jam skin if you sign up for Sega’s newsletter
Whaaaaat??!!
I saw, I’m all for low poly sonic
I signed up for pornhub
I don’t think it would make sense for Shadow to have the same dialogue as he did in the time eater fight because the games are supposed to take place at the same time. If Shadow goes through all that. it wouldn’t make sense for him to just be like “You got this Sonic”. Idk why but i also feel like Silver is gonna have a role in this somehow. Maybe not an entire Story but i feel like he’s gonna have a DLC story. Hopefully if so they bring back Pete Capella
You predicted the two character thing
14:33 Mephiles hasn’t even had be reoccurring this will be a big deal if he returns
It makes sense he wouldnt have become a reoccurring villain since hes a timeline based villian. It's like how Silver doesn't have a reason to come to the present since Iblis wasnt triggered
There is a Chance that Mephilies would be in the game this year he got a Jack’s Pacific Action Figure and he is added in Forces Speed Battle so there is a chance!
Short answer: it is worth it
A 29 minute video solved by a single comment. Thanks!
im guessing the note is music and paintbrush is art
19:59 "It also seems like there is some type of Shadow Emblem that you can be able to grab inside of the stages as well."
We see one get dropped by the Doom's Eye mini-boss and collected in a cutscene. I don't know if that one's a freebie (like the first Chaos Emerald in Shadow 05), but I had assumed they're story-related. Given that it's also a Black Arms symbol and Shadow's Doom Powers are Black Arms related, they could go towards unlocking/upgrading those powers.
They could function like Sonic Adventure Emblems instead though.
Already have the Deluxe edition pre-ordered on steam. So excited!
29 minutes of wait until the full game to come to be sure
12:53 Fun fact! This animation for Shadow is a rolling animation from Sonic Lost World. Nice use of your animation, Sega!
Naaahh it's not, one guy on TWT said that it was but many people have already pointed out that it's different.
It’s pretty fun finding incorrect “fun facts” lmao
Skill points (and the Chao card) are all in the base game, and used to buy trivial upgrades like an instant recovery after damage or increased boost gauge, so I wouldn't bank on that too hard.
I'm thinking the paintbrush might also be concept art from Adventure 2, Shadow '07 and Shadow Generations, but as you mentioned, the music notes already had that covered in Sonic Generations (though Sonic Generations also gave concept art for red star rings, which are missing from Shadow Generations).
As for Shadow Generations omitting the drift, its most likely due to being built on Frontiers, which doesn't seem to have a good handle on drifting just yet, delegating it to gated zones in cyber space.
I'm guessing the paintbrush is for concept art of various things - Probably Shadow, Maria, Gerald, The Commander, Artificial Chaos, GUN Robots, Rouge, Omega, Black Doom, various Black Arms, Shadow Androids, Mephiles, and various Mephiles summons.
My fave part about the chao in the cutscene, is that the NiGHTS chao is included alongside the spirit chao, Chaos Chao, and even both hero/dark chao
I hope shadows final boss fight is his new form vs Devil Doom or mephiles
That might actually happen 😤🔥
They could add Sonic&Diablon battle as well.
I think Mephilies could be the 3rd final boss or 4th as for black doom I hope that its as epic as the Titan fights from Frontiers
I think the final boss for Shadow Generations will be Black Doom because the Sonic X Shadow Generations Official website says "Use all of Shadow's abilities to defeat Black Doom and save the world!".
Maybe in his Devil Doom form, but considering so far we have only seen his eye, I think that's all that's left of his body after Shadow beat the crap out of him when he tried to take over the world last time.
3:49 you most definitely cannot pass sonic unleashed, colors or generations by pressing the boost button. I would love to see that
Chao being the new wisps would be hilarious and at least give chaos a stab back in the series. They are sorta magical so it wouldnt be too farfatched for them to have an unknown ability. And maybe Maria was an artist in her life and that collectable is for artwork and why the paint brush isnthe icon. Also pro tip, print out the Japan cover and slap it in your physical box
I always assumed the paintbrush would just be concept art, like base gens.
I’m going to write some bullet points about Sonic Generations Remastered as I watch
-The Drop Dash will be a ton of fun for Classic Sonic but I have no clue how I’ll utilize it for Modern Sonic, maybe it’ll be helpful for the platform heavy sections like in Sky Sanctuary, Crisis City, and Perfect Chaos’s boss fight
-I’ll give the Frontiers controls a shot, those might be more comfortable for this game, especially since I like going for perfect runs and have to do some precise boost jumps and stuff
-I am actually really glad they’re getting rid of lives for one main reason: you lost a life every time you restart the level, and that gets on my freaking nerves and makes perfect runs incredibly frustrating to go for (since when you reach zero lives, “Start Over” is grayed out so you have to manually back out of the stage to restart)
-The Chao acting as a companion along with the skill system ALONG WITH alternate skins is going to make customizing Sonic a ton of fun
-Thank god they added a display for Red Star Rings, 100% completion will be way more fun now! Hopefully they make it to where you don’t have to beat Green Hill Zone to get Red Star Rings unlike the original game, that was a really weird and arbitrary change
I bought the deluxe edition along with a shadow plush to celebrate the year of shadow this is the most hyped Ive been for a game before and I think they will make a boss per game shadow comes from so like a sonic heroes boss, 06 boss, and shadows game boss they could also add rival fights like sonic vs shadow, mephiles vs shadow and shadow vs black bull or somethin so this game has a lot of potential lets just hope it turns out how we expect it
Important to Note that the PS4 is not getting a Physical Version in the West, you’ll have to import a Copy from Japan.
5:23 I've really gotta stress that the removal of lives means you can restart stages, without losing lives, similar to Unleashed in which if you wanted to grind a stage for a better time, you needed a huge stack of lives cause if you made a mistake & restarted, you lost a life, but it's also extremely monotonous having to exit & reload an entire stage over 1 mistake, if you're tryna save your lives.
The removal of lives in this remaster fixes that issue entirely.
Idk if it’s just me or does it seem like Sega took some inspiration from spiderman for the shadow portion, Idk if you noticed in the new gameplay of the cutscenes to stage transitions and it’s so sick, or the venom wings etc, has a hub open world.
i cant waith to see the speedrun videos
On the lives argument, I only ever game overed as a kid and then I'd either give up, get pissed or both. I've recently gone back and messed with the "classic" modes within 1 and 2 in origins with lives to find they had become trivial.
i would love for them to add a Sunset Heights Level and make it, a level. Cuz that was a big standout in Forces
wait but what im wanting to know is sonic generations was the last game with endless possiblity from unleashed but will it be in the new game
As much as I hate to see life systems going, really the only time I even burned lives in Generations was resetting the level because I missed a ring that was in a particularly difficult spot to reach consistently, like that one after the first building jump on the board in City Escape. I feel like they work for more demanding games, but they're tedius here because it really only "challenges" your ability to find the collectibles. I feel like if this game were harder it would be more of a loss.
The quality of life changes definitely add to the value of the game. The old trick system could use some polishing up, and I prefer the new controls for the main Sonic campaign. Going between Generations and Frontiers is...jarring without remapping buttons.
I am a sucker for art books, but am also somewhat concerned about locking levels behind the digital deluxe version. I'm hoping it's not plot or story relevant, because that would be unfair to people who didn't want to shell ten bucks for what is otherwise just cosmetic content.
I preorder the digital for both PS4/5 when I get paid next time I’m gonna preorder the physical
Shadow searching for black arms & sees sonic struggling
"You got this sonic"
We watch the 2 sonics over shadows shoulder as her wonders were's the black arms leader (leader laughs) shadow turns towards the camera & continues to search for the leader
18:48 wait a second…if that robot is going to be a thing, then maybe it could be a reference to the multiplayer STH 2005 Shadow Androids maybe?
I think the paint brush might be art
As one of the 10 fans of shadow the hedgehog game. Where are my guns?
If they bring back Mephalis they need to bring back Infinite as well, just to see the two fight each other, lol.
I forgot to mention, you are 100% right on the japanese boxart being much better. The american one is a lazy, lame edit of the original Gens' boxart adding Shadow in the middle, with neither of the Sonics even acknowledging that he's there. Meanwhile the japanese one not only does it have actual new artwork for Sonic, and not only it clearly shows that the Sonic and Shadow portions are separate, it's a clear reference to the logo of Sonic Adventure 2. It's absolutely fantastic.
There's no need to hate on the American boxart. Both are incredible the way they are, one is a evolution of the original game's art, and the other gets its creativity to the next level! 😊
I'm going to buy this game on sale as I do all my games
9:10 maybe they switched to the 3DS version of generations maybe
That would be cool since it’s locked on a dead console that has no legitimate way to buy unless it’s from a third party at a price
I bought the original when it was $1 on steam, am planning on buying Shadow Generations, unsure what addition.
Calling it, Rail canyon is gonna be implemented the same way ratical highway is.
I'm planning on buying the standard edition
Well let's hope, we won't really know until it comes out. Never pre-order kids!
You could probably use buyee to get the collectors edition that’s what I’m gonna try to do😁
19:09 hey it's Seelkadoom
The game doesn't release for 4 months, so why is this video so early. Isn't that a bit unfair?
Yeah this is like way too early
You can preorder the game, besides 4 months aint that bad
@@johnmehlman5195 yeah, you can preorder it, but it doesn’t ship immediately. You just get it sooner. The video is still too soon.
I hope modern sonic can spindash in generations
28:16 This.
Oh, so much this.
IGN has been memed on to hell and back as some of Sonic's biggest haters, so *WHY* even turn to them if they're gonna give the game a bad score like they've done for the past 20 years?
Hopefully we get a jet set radio (2026) sonic-beat skin.... my favorite character is really Tab but in this new cannon his not the starter trio 😢 it's Combo.
is it possible at all to order the japanese collectors addition to america ? never tried international shipping
Yes, if you order from somewhere that does it. I know someone did from PlayAsia, and another from Amazon JPN.
i'm getting hyped i might buy sonic generations and shadow generations
You could be thinking that the unannounced holiday 2024 skin for the digiital deluxe edition could be Christmas clothes for Shadow but that might not be what it truly will be because I heard someone bring up a suspicion that it could possibly be a Movie Shadow skin instead!!! That is possible because the third movie has December 20 as it's theatrical release date. They may not have revealed that because they likely want this to be an exciting surprise and also likely because Paramount has been making it be like a total crime to spoil any things about that movie.
No wonder, sonic movie 2 got spoiled before release
@@andrewcorrie174 the trailer will have shown Shadow's movie design before this, so that version of him being shown in that game won't be a spoiler if you are thinking that it will be one.
I think it is a Movie Shadow Skin because the Japanese release of this game comes with a Sonic Movie 3 sticker. Strange, isn't it?
@@Hedgie3 Of course I just meant in relation to paramount being protective with spoiler stuff in general now.
I just want a Chao garden man.
Small fix i hope they make super sonic better to play as. The whole boost and lose rings faster was always lame so i hope they fix that
Take a shot every time he says “ inside”. You’d be dead five minutes in.
If they threw in chao garden again I’d cop quickkkkkkk
Sucks that the Nintendo Switch doesn't seem to be getting a Deluxe Edition - or even a Digital Version at all…!!
The Japan box art reminds me of the sa2 symbol
Anything Shadow = Pre-order
I want that keychain.
To me, from what I've seen? Not really. The Drop Dash is already in the 2011 Gens thanks to a mod (and even the spindash for Modern), so that holds zero value to me. Shadow Gens seems cool but I won't pay 60 for 5 Shadow levels, lmao.
I might pirate it for my Switch to have both it and 3DS Gens on it though. Portable Sonic is always good.
I love sonic as a whole, but man I SUCK at these dashing games. I liked unleash a lot cause at least you get to fight. I tried generations but it made me realize how shitty I am at the sonic games
short answer: YES ITS 100% WORTH IT
No
I ordered sonic x shadow generations for the Nintendo switch ❤❤
I've never played genz so im getting it
I hope we can set the button layout to original🙏🙏🙏
Most likely since it will most likely apply to both it would be silly for it to not have one for the original game
I’m just going to download mods from generations, PC
honestly the modern sonic drop dash looks like DOOKIE! it just looks so weird and uncomfortable to have it after the jump dash like its just too much. give him smthn else.
I put a lot
Of hours into boost being square
Yes
Anybody here gonna try and get the Jp collector edition?
"wow look at all this stuff it's worth buying due to generations alone"
the entire generations modding community who has already done all of this already be lookin like -_-
......who cares? Its still new OFFICIAL content, with a brand new story
@@johnmehlman5195 my main issue is that on pc it could have been dlc
@@johnmehlman5195 official content sucks ass
Yes, next question
My biggest concern is if they'll release it on the ps4 as well
Yea, they will
Only digital though
Not physically because the ps4 is
Not really supposed to be getting any more games by now
Yes.
Weiß jemand ob die Dialoge aus dem Spiel sind oder aus Sonic X
bruh it's still 3 months away chill
bro it's not even out yet lol you'll never know until it does
you sound like billeh bawb
It looks fine
The answer is yes.
Me And Julio x Sally Acorn Generations
i hope throw it all away is in the game,
The game is not even out yet.
20:57 nawwww Jason had done shadow so much better
So did Shadow's original English VA David Humphrey in SA2, and Heroes.
Sure but we are stuck with kirk, we have to deal with it at this point
@@johnmehlman5195 I have heard that one of the main problems about this is that Sega has been mandating Kirk into making his voice sound that amount dark and edgy while voicing Shadow and that he may sound more exceptable to us fans if they would remove that mandate and allow him to try to make his voice sound more like what either of those previous 2 VAs made Shadow's voice sound like. So I hope that they are considering to let that happen and have it happen soon.
You know you could buy and just return it 😂
I've perfected nearly every modern stage in Generations but I wanna ask.
What's the point for Modern sonic to actually HAVE the drop dash? He can boost at top speed instantly.
If given to Classic Sonic that would make a LOT more sense. But Modern Sonic having it doesn't to me.
Modern Sonic isn't getting a spin dash,
You mean drop dash ?
@@AAlex-wg8ml Meant to say drop dash XP
It is given to classic sonic aswell
Too late
Looks more like a $45 game
Japan Definitely is better than the rest
the the unlashed project make it an instant no. picking a shadow campaign that's a movie long at most over all the unlashed boost levels that's longer than the campaign is a instant Fuck No!
There's no way I'd buy this on PC without a sale since I've played the original, but I would love to get the Switch version to have the game portably. I'm not pre-ordering, though. I'm waiting for reviews because you never know whether a Switch port will turn out well or not.
Japan wins every time
Is clicking on this video ACTUALLY worth watching?
Absolutely not
No
No its not
People just buy it. Please I want sonic to still be thriving and alive
I will just pirate it
Classic sonic is the goat sonic I want superstars plus to have classic sliver LEGO shadow classic cream the rabbit Rouge the Bat skin for TIP Jeffy Juneor Cody joseph from sml And max and jimmy and chicken nugget meme from max design pro
The changes to the game look kinda bad ngl
I thought it was a whole new shadow game why would they remaster sonic generation? It’s a pretty recent game? They could’ve remastered the shadow game or hell remastered sonic adventure two
