I was wondering why Radical Highway in Shadow Generations felt like it was missing something and this video made me realize what: The original felt like a red highway illuminated by a yellow city below. It is a VERY bright stage, despite being set at night, probably to make Shadow easier to spot. Generations' replaces most of the original lighting and replaces it with a red fog which makes stage elements start to blend together, meaning you're now able to occasionally lose Shadow when not boosting. I also think the emphasis on the warping background buildings, rather than the highway itself, loses some of the recognizability too.
This just reminded me that all the NiGHTS buildings were missing in Generations. I can understand the "Got Ring?" being removed but NiGHTS is something Sonic Team/SEGA owns. Funnily, you can still see highway signs mention other SEGA properties like Amigo for example.

@@ventaverv3793 yeah I agree this is an insightful comment, it feels a lot more greenish blue than dark red
Maybe we will get a mod that improves the missing details
It also lacks the iconic NiGHTS building.
Ah, yeah that's probably what happened
it just doesn't look right to me at all... Of all stages, why did Radical Highway have to get fucked over?
@UltimatePhantasm I wouldn't say all that, it's just a bit different

They both were in Generations. Just the 3DS version tho.
NiGHTS is a threat to Black Doom's power
Let's not forget the SOAP blimp.
I mean, Got Ring is different enough to be safe.
Thx for the heart btw
Radical Highway and Radical Buildings too!
I like Radical Highway more than Radical Highway
Radical Highway does have its advantages over Radical Highway, but Radical Highway is where it's at
I honestly feel like Shadow Generations did RH dirty. It’s based on the original stage rather than being an homage, like it should have been.
Is the the dreamcast version? Shadow’s animations seem different
@@yukotrey9422 I'm using animation overhaul mod
I like SA2’s animations way better. More fire on the boots and Shadow skates more than glides like Silver
