Tbh they could've retconned the order that you get em in the remastered generations if that wasn't the case originally and no one would bat an eye really
I said it before and I'll say it again, this was hands down one of the BEST Sam Procrastinates live streams I've ever been a part of. What time to be a Sonic and Shadow fan.
Overall even tho I do think there was some missed opportunity with the story and lore and what characters could have shown up in the open zone, and even tho I do wish it was a bit longer. This was amazing, so much love went into the level desgin and animations and bosses. The interactions with shadow and characters was really sweet and the open area was really neat and there’s plenty to collect. Plus it looks so beautiful and the soundtrack is fantastic. So happy shadow got his time to shine after all these years and like the rest of the series, they want to get back on what made people love this series. ❤️🖤
(Long comment warning) The only things I personally think would’ve made it significantly better would be. 1. Remove shadows inhibiter rings in the scenes where he powers up so it feels like he’s actually using his full power even though Gerald warns him not to take them off. 2. The song from the anime prologue shorts isn’t in the game at all which is annoying and would’ve actually been a perfect credits song. Plus there’s a few songs in general they probably could’ve added like infinites theme for example. Speaking of infinite missed opportunity for a boss fight with him considering you get 2 stages set in the future yet no boss fight with any villains from the future. 3. While I understand why the sonic fight was a cutscene and not an actual boss/rival battle. it would’ve been nice to have some kind of rival battle in the game like maybe with silver for example. Plus it would’ve been nice to see more character interactions especially from omega because he wasn’t in sonic generations and he barely does anything in shadows story other than just give you information. Atleast with Big Cubot and Orbot it makes sense why they don’t really do anything. But Rouge Gerald and Maria do things to an extent in cutscenes so why not omega.
Being apart of the stream from start to finish was such a ride. Glad I was able to experience it alongside you. Can't wait for the review! Edit: LOL 1:12:01 is still one of my favorite moments from the streams!
8:58 The Fact Why The Voice For Black Doom Is Different Because Sean Doesn't Know About The Game Is Coming Out Soon Because He's Busy Doing The English Dub For Dragon Ball Daima And Sparking Zero On That Time.
This might just be a me thing, but something about the music during the final cut scene reminded me of Hans Zimmer's 'This Is My World' from Batman V Superman. The two soundtracks don't sound exactly the same but the way they're conveyed is pretty effective. And hey if you remind me of a Hans Zimmer soundtrack, then you've already earned a W.
So now that this game got to 1 million on release day And probably a boost in sales for Christmas then we might have a great chance of having another Shadow game ! The lore that could imply with maybe Maria’s younger sister, the possibility of Shadow now visiting Chaos Island, and new villain for shadow or somehow bring back Mephiles again somehow could be great
Did anyone noticed this in SXS Generations? The two stories are parallel to each other in gameplay. Sonic Generations has Act 1 to be 2D and Act 2 3D, Shadow Generations has 2 acts but in reverse as now the Act 1 is 3D and Act 2 is 2D. Theres alos the hub world, Sonic's hub is 2D therefore act 1 and Shadow's hub is 3D which is the gams act 2. They made it so gameplay is parallel. So cool. Anyone noticed this? if theres more stuff like this do let me know.
HOLY CRAP TOTALLY UNRELATED BUT IN 22nd IN THE WORLD ON KINGDOM VALLEY ACT 1 THIS GAME IS BEYOND ADDICTING HOLY CRAP I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH AHAHAHAHAHAJAJAJ
This might sound cheesy, but I want to thank you Sam for getting me into the Sonic series again. This game was a lot of fun despite not playing a Sonic game since Forces, and I really enjoyed it. I dont think I would've bought this game if it wasn't for Sam and the community.
I will say this, and I will continue to keep saying this: Radical Highway is Black Doom's Domain Expansion. It allows Black Doom to warp the terrain as he sees fit, and it can nullify Chaos Control.
With all the stuff Shadow had to go through on his side, he earned the right to stand on the side providing moral support to the two Sonics. Bro barely held himself together and he ain't gonna take seeing the Sonics getting easily flattened.
That whole thing with the binary code got me to chuckle. Nice attempt but for the person to comment on your post with a code only for it to be ‘hehe’ is hilarious. This made me smile after a tough morning fighting a possible head cold. Thanks for this!!
30:19 why do i feel like we missed out on a Battle of ages with this one??? That is fucking badass! Also, 1:12:01 I fucking can't, dude 😂😂 shit had me rolling in laughter
I think the reason why sonic and his friends use the eye lids as eye brows, because the rigging of the 3D model is not capable to do it. Because there's a mod that uses sonic frontiers model in shadow cutscene and it looks unnatural when it moves it's eye brows. The part of sonic unieye doesn't have a smooth transition.
Please correct me if I’m wrong, but the instrumentals of All Hail Shadow for the Devil Doom boss fight first appeared and were played in the Sonic Symphony World Tour.
Sam, there is actually another ending for Shadow dark beginnings. It's available for Ps5 and Ps4 I think but you can search it on RUclips. Just letting ya know 😊
I'm looking forward to playing Sonic X Shadow Gens, but I need to beat Sonic Frontiers first! I can't believe I'm believe I'm buying Sonic Gens again. 😭
Also the textures for gerald's journal's pages collectibles in the overworld have readable text and are totally different pages from the one in the actual journal. I'd love it if someone could extract those pages so we could read them more easily
Planet aligning coincidence that the fake Emerald from Adventure 2 was yellow, and you get the yellow Emerald from Shadow in based Generations already.
“Regards, T” Is that…. That has to be Topaz from Sonic X right! That is such a crazy little detail. Topaz exists in the game universe! Btw, did you get the physical journal at all Sam?
what if shadow going to chaos island at some point in the future is a small tease that he's going to be in the next frontiers game or maybe an adventure 3 game 😏
The latter? Definitely not. Open Zone seems to be Sega's future for Sonic(also Adventure 3 already exists. We call it 06.) The former? Quite a strong possibility, given Shadow Gens does operate on Open Zone and all. If nothing else, expect people to mod him in quickly
Too much blasphemy, too much Devil worship, too much Freemasonry, too much taking the name of the Lord Jesus in vain. When will you realize that the "better" the sonic game is, the worse it is for you? For the "better" it is the more you will take it in and the more it will hurt you. 1 Corinthians 15:1-8 KJV Romans 10:2-13 KJV
Extreme hot take (Do not read if you’re sensitive!): I played the game, and… It’s a 7.5/10. People are overrating it way too much. Yes, it’s the best Sonic game to date, no, it didn’t take me more than 5 hours to beat it. Sonic Team seriously has an issue with making games that take more than one day to finish. The game was amazing but there wasn’t actually much game for me to play. Still worth the money, but did not give me the kind of long-term enjoyment that frontiers did. Overrall, 7.5/10 probably. The moment the credits rolled I couldn’t help but sit there and think ‘Oh… That’s it…?’
After playing it, I think it's a solid 8, but I 100% agree with you. If Sonic Team is smart, they'll invest on free updates/DLC. Maybe that can help mitigate the problem.
It's not meant to take more than one day to finish because this is not a full standalone game. This is a side game packaged alongside Sonic Generations. This is like complaining that 4 Swords or Bowser's Fury is too short.
I feel bad for sonic fans Getting impressed with the most basic essentials in any game just because all of their previous sonic games were bad and clunky
REVIEW COMING SOON!!!
YIPPEE
Can’t wait
Im ready for it!
Aww yeah this is happening
Please don’t make us wait 3 months like Superstars 😭
Big confirming that he’s been to the Ark is *WILD!* That means all the Big Cameos in SA2 for the Dreamcast are actually canon!
Which somehow means Big outpaced everyone in that game…. Big is a menace.
Big is really determined to find Froggy. Nothing can stop him.
@@gtcproductions4097He knew a shortcut
@@gtcproductions4097Big is like Terrence from angry birds with how he teleports
The fact that the Fake Emerald and the Chaos Emerald you get from Shadow are the same color was such a nice coincidence.
Tbh they could've retconned the order that you get em in the remastered generations if that wasn't the case originally and no one would bat an eye really
@@Spelo1 nope, just checked a gameplay from years ago, it is indeed yellow back then too
My new favorite game of all time. No other game has left such an emotional impact on me as this one.
Same. It’s insane how perfect this game is.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who cried at this games ending. This game is beautiful.
38:06 I love how they did the iconic pose in Shadow Generations Sonic Team really cooked with this one 😎👍🔥🔥🔥🔥
They did the same thing for sonic v shadow in the original Sonic Generations so it's a no brainer. would be weird if it was excluded
Actually good Sunset Heights: "I want.. TO EXIST"
It does exist now 🫡
I said it before and I'll say it again, this was hands down one of the BEST Sam Procrastinates live streams I've ever been a part of.
What time to be a Sonic and Shadow fan.
So Maria has a baby sister, i do hope we get to see her soon. Also Gerald has two sons, one is into robotics and the other is into archaeology. Wow
So I’m guessing that robotics kid is eggmans dad
I bet it’s the mystery girl from that first tails tube episode
Overall even tho I do think there was some missed opportunity with the story and lore and what characters could have shown up in the open zone, and even tho I do wish it was a bit longer. This was amazing, so much love went into the level desgin and animations and bosses.

Also, you don't need to capitalize every word.
This game dethroned SA2 as the ultimate Sonic and Shadow experience
7:34 imagine forgetting about Prem THIS HARD 😂
That guy can’t go a video without mentioning it lol
37:26 PEAK FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Despite not being here for this stream after the first two zones cause I didn’t finish the game yet these highlights are great.
1:07 G.U.N. Soldier BLAST
Hopefully these highlights show Sam's incredible Sonic Generations skills.
Edit: Nevermind, he's still washed.
The moment Sam said, "He found continuity in the room?!," that's when I subscribed.
This is one of the best sonic games and its a fuckin side game. now if we get a full 15-20 hour experience with this quality im gonna cry

Oh wow, you're right. I just listened to the soundtracks back to back, and yeah, they do sound vaguely similar.
Shadow generations is now my new favorite Sonic game so far
So now that this game got to 1 million on release day

39:06 Sam... what were you staring at...?
The way this Reizor dude in chat would never shut up about Mephiles' recast lmfaaoo even after the boss is over, bro got nothing better to do
While my only complaints are with what wasn't in the game, what we do have is flawless, this game is perfect, I wish there was more...

To be fair, Back then Shadow was using his Super form.
Now he's doom boosted but I don't think that's supposed to be as strong.
