There are a lot of amazing small Animation details, that make everything look so much more fluid. I noticed that the Biolizards head seems to be tracking shadow starting with the second phase. He's always looking at you.
I love the bits after Shadow kicks that massive missile back and he does a little roll as he lands on the floor. Just a little flair in the animation that didn't have to be there but it is and I love it
The things that I’m looking forward to for shadow gens is the ability to use chaos control in the levels and boss fights, the cinematic transitions to gameplay, the doom powers, the hub world, victory animations, and the soundtrack
Something I’m excited to discover is the soundtrack for the Shadow portion of Gens in particular. I’m really excited to hear remixes of levels like kingdom valley and rail canyon, base gens already has amazing remixes so hearing new takes on stages that weren’t in base Gens is exciting.
This game is peakest of sonic games, it literally controls like sa2 with boost and has the best air control in any 3d sonic game ever, the level design is massive with many different ways to speedrun it, its so good!!!! The visuals are incredible, i wish they updated the visuals with hedgehog engine 2 for normal gens, cause frontiers mods prove that with amazing artstyle (like unleashed levels in frontiers) can look better than original game, man but whatever this is good enough
"Stop struggling, you cling to a crueler fate." HAS TO BE ONE OF THE HARDEST LINES IN HISTORY, especially since Shadow is basically just trying to put the biolizard out of its misery
CHAOS CONTROL! No but seriously, I NEVER wouldve thought to use Chaos control to MESS with Shadow's stage for character identity in levels for him in modern day. Now I really wanna see how they would ever do Silver levels? Maybe Quick reaction Pyshcokensis for flight paths or what?! Keep this creativity up Sonic team.
The stage transitions are, the best way I can describe it, very reminiscent of act transitions in like Sonic Mania. Lends so much more to storytelling as well as gameplay
I'm genuinely so excited for this game man! I genuinely am hoping it has a decent amount of levels! I think at bare minimum it will have 4 levels with each having 2 acts and at bare minimum I think this game will have at least 3 bosses But I'm hoping we get more so at least 6 levels with each having 2 acts and as for bosses we know Biolizard is obviously confirmed I think a Black Doom boss fight is definitely a lock and will very likely happen maybe a TimeEater Boss fight? IM HOPING WE GET A MEPHILES BOSS FIGHT!!! And possibly some boss from Sonic Heroes Also I definitely think there's a possibility Shadow will get a rival battle with Sonic and maybe other characters
I’m hoping that Sega will release a free demo of Sonic X Shadow Generations on consoles and PC. The original Sonic Generations had a demo came out 1st before the full release. The gameplay for Shadow The Hedgehog looks cool.
I have a feeling they've deliberately not shown any - or hardly any - gameplay with the wings because, in terms of alternate pathways and level replayability, it's gonna make things super o.p, and therefore the size of Shadow's campaign really won't matter; 30 minutes or 3 hours. That aspect of replayability is exactly where it's at! ✨
1:00-1:23 I will definitely find use for it. I'll use the homing attack to make it to a ledge instead of the boost, so i don't waste the boost and launch myself too far or lose time with how the homing attack slows you down and you have to boost again.
I think that modern dropdash is meant to be a sorta just in case thing, its weird, but its nice its there, you could prolly use it to do more precise platforming a bit quicker with more control than boosting or air boosting
My biggest hope for the game is that it can finally give those on modern consoles (especially on switch) a solid entry point for 3d sonic games with little precaution to give or compromises
Sonic Frontier ran so Shadow could FLY! I'm glad I'm hearin' positive impressions and that they took notes from some stuff from Frontiers with the Shadow campaign, looking really forward to it!
I’ve got so much faith in this game bro It seems like they’ve cooked in every aspect tbh Level Design, Visuals, Gameplay, Mechanics I cannot contain my excitement for the game bro I just need it, looks so good and so cool GRAHH
Sonic team is really going out of their way to cement the drop dash as a core component on Sonic's moveset With the drop dash being on modern Sonic I feel that the best course of, action would be to make it a tap/hold toggle. Tap for Homing attack, hold for drop dash, unless there's custom controls in the game of course
Shadow's homing attack is actually a reference to Chaos Snap from Sonic 06. Come to think of it I'm pretty sure the game they took from the most gameplay wise is 06 because they have Chaos Snap as the homing attack, Chaos Spear (which wasn't a base move in Adventure 2 or Shadow 05), and the combat with punches and kicks.
"Today and only today we are here to talk about Sonic x Shadow Generations" bro we know you're gonna be talking about this every day for the next five years, homie, we're all with you
Here’s something that kind of bothers me about the air dash for modern sonic… seeing as that’s a “failed homing attack”, why didn’t they put that on the homing attack button? That’s kind of gonna bother me while playing the remaster
I swear im the only person in the world to spam the boost button in frontiers to get infinte sonic boom 💥 affect and to get faster cause holding the boost button is basic try it you'll be zooming at 99998mp hour in 4-5
The fact people dont know that you can actually boost though enemys n frontiers and im actually the first person to find how you boost though so on switch you have to press Y press the boost button but remember that if you don't get it im actually not not lying i literally do it all the time when play in cyber space and it all so gives you a boost if you hold the boost down by the way i dont now how to download a mod to my switch so its not a mod the fact that sega just hidden this ability is just kinda smart ❤
Personally, I’m looking forward to the story. I’m still very curious how they’re going to pull of shadow’s story being at the same time as the two sonics’
Tbh i really think that they did not changed sonic generations AT ALL other than a few adds like the drop dash, like, no new stages, no new upgrades you can buy for sonic, no new bosses *(please add a vocal track to time eater fight and remove everyone telling you what to do, that literally dont make sense)* And i also think that the shadow generations part is occurring simultaneously to the sonic generations(prob a way to also add sonic fight to shadow) but end before sonics fight with time eater, thats a way i got to think to not retcon the sonic generations from ps3, xbox and 3ds _(unless they change it and really does a retcon ofc)_
I hope you read this Games Cage, but I have an idea for a Sonic Riders remaster or new one if we ever get one check it we get a remaster or not they should do is online tournaments or events like those gacha games that they do events to get new characters or armor but in sonic riders you get extreme gear from these events or costumes for characters and rankings to see who is the best riders and they should bring back the trick system like the ps2 sonic riders like you move the joy stick and tracks from Other sonic games like City escape and like the final lap trailer forme SA2 starts chasing the racers like SA2 with sonic green hill zone with the loop but giant
Weird want but I would absolutely love some (well priced...) DLC stages for both Shadow and the Sonic's. Always felt like a missed oppurtunity to me for Gens.
I always felt like segas is just cooking different food at the back of sega hq and they always give me my favorite dish pepperoni pizza 🍕 just like sxsg gunna be my favorite sonic game in October you know that japan gets better stuff when they preorder the game thats cool
At summer school there was this kid in class and he wearing a classic sonic shirt and he said it was baby sonic 😂 bros literally the definition of gen z plus he says gen z words in class too 😅 and every time i go by his desk hes all ways is watch gametoons bruh 😂
Shadow threatening to light you up if you get a D rank is crazy work, but this game is a 0/10 if that isn't in the game. Remember, he has that auto lock on aim in his own game, so buddy won't miss.
Drop Dash after homing attack is weird, why not just stick it on the jump button? In fact, why not give Sonic the Spin Dash for the X button if he's on the ground?
THANK YOU for sharing this gameplay dude, absolutely goated. How did Shadow feel to control? How was the turning and air deceleration? Like open zone? Cyberspace? Modern sonic in gens? Its own thing?
I'm looking forward to wait 3 months intill they release the digital deluxe sxsg peroder on switch I can't wait to play as terios he's probably gonna have the same animations as sonic but that's fine terios is just a sonic going through a emo phase
Finally, a reviewer who actually knows what he's talking about.
AND someone who knew how to properly play
There was one guy who thought Classic Sonic was Modern Sonic's KID
Typical reactor behavior@@KewelsBri
Bro probably thought amy was the mother💀
Fun fact: Sonic and Shadow will both be in Sonic X Shadow Generations‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
THATS TRUE

The thing that impressed me was that the Ark level was a beefy level with multiple pathways; yet FULLY 3D.
MHM
THE UI IN THIS GAME GOES STUPID CRAZY MAN, THEY COOKED
YESSSSSIRRR
"Stop struggling, you cling to a crueler fate." HAS TO BE ONE OF THE HARDEST LINES IN HISTORY, especially since Shadow is basically just trying to put the biolizard out of its misery
ONGOD
They buffed sonic with new moves in frontiers and now they're buffing shadow, which is really cool
I want Mephiles as a boss fight so bad 😁

Now I really wanna see how they would ever do Silver levels? Maybe Quick reaction Pyshcokensis for flight paths or what?! Keep this creativity up Sonic team.
Game's just keeps getting better and better.
I'm especially hyped that Ian Flynn is writing the script for Shadow's story!
the ludonarrative harmony in this game boutta be real high (btw ludonarrative harmony is when story and gameplay work together)
The stage transitions are, the best way I can describe it, very reminiscent of act transitions in like Sonic Mania. Lends so much more to storytelling as well as gameplay
YES 1000%
The transitions have that “next gen feels” 🔥💯
EXACTLY
2:06 Shadow should throw a Chaos Spear at the screen cracking it and having it fall over, similar to his game's aesthetic
Yeah
I love that the Chaos Snap from Sonic 06 and Shadow 05's intro returns as Shadow's homing attack
Sonic has made one of the best comebacks in video game history in the last 5 years
I'm genuinely so excited for this game man! I genuinely am hoping it has a decent amount of levels!
I think at bare minimum it will have 4 levels with each having 2 acts and at bare minimum I think this game will have at least 3 bosses
But I'm hoping we get more so at least 6 levels with each having 2 acts

IM HOPING WE GET A MEPHILES BOSS FIGHT!!!
And possibly some boss from Sonic Heroes
Also I definitely think there's a possibility Shadow will get a rival battle with Sonic and maybe other characters
I CANT WAIT MAAAANNN
His story might end with a time eater boss and loses and thats how he finds sonic.
Still convinced that people who say that it looks like forces level design didn’t even look into it properly.
Yep
So what I understand about this is that it will live to the hype and then surpass the hype. Am I close Fadel?
YES

7:00 i just hope there isn't much of this qte's in the levels, because i can see them getting tiring on repeat playthroughs.
I get ya LOL
I’m really glad that Chaos Control and Chaos Spear will be usable during gameplay again. All we need now is Chaos Blast.
5:53 You didn't have to do Shadow dirty like that
Imagine a super shadow boss fight in the same style as the super sonic boss fights in frontiers with Shadow's own unique attacks
PLZZZZ
Sonic Frontier ran so Shadow could FLY! I'm glad I'm hearin' positive impressions and that they took notes from some stuff from Frontiers with the Shadow campaign, looking really forward to it!

Here’s something that kind of bothers me about the air dash for modern sonic… seeing as that’s a “failed homing attack”, why didn’t they put that on the homing attack button? That’s kind of gonna bother me while playing the remaster
You should be the American Sonic Ambassador, if Arin hasn't scared Sega and Sonic Team enough from that idea.

I cant believe he discovered his sexuality through this game congrats
LMAO
Moders are gonna go crazy and transform the Modern Drop Dash into a Spin Dash I just know it!
I know the switch is gonna explode tryna run this game
💀💀
I love the cinematics in the game play the he uses chaos control to beat the hell out the big giant missle is alsome😅
Those “energy spheres” are the eggs of the bio lizard

I never preordered a game so fast in my life
This all sounds fire! I can't wait!
only useful thing i think drop dash for modern could be used is no boosting runs, but sonics non boosting speed in gens is already decently fast
YEA EXACTLY
Bruh if Windy Valley transitions into White Acropolis like that I'm going to break my preorder rule because that would be SICK.
