- Sonic Generations is one of the most universally loved modern Sonic games, but why is that? Well, with the release of Sonic X Shadow Generations right around the corner, I thought it would be a good time to revisit the OG game to see what made it so good!

I can't tell you how much I like sonic generations, I still play it to this day I can't get tired of it ever
This game lasts generations, please laugh
LOL
This game is generational... yeah ill go out the door
Wow. Its been GENERATIONS since ive seen this game hahahaha.
**loads gun**

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Your point about Modern Sonic’s stages having too many 2D sections was… Well, on point.
The formula seen in Generations was actually introduced in Unleashed’s day stages. Modern Sonic’s stages consist of a mix of fully 3D sections and 2D sections. The 2D sections were included to harken back to Sonic’s Genesis days.
For games like Unleashed and Colors, it makes sense to include them. But in Sonic Generations where nearly half of the game’s stages are dedicated to Classic Sonic, whose stages are ENTIRELY 2D, it doesn’t make much sense to put 2D sections in Modern Sonic’s stages.
That's a questionable take and wrongly assumes that 2d was a defining aspect of the Mega drive Sonic games. Unleashed's and Generations modern Sonic 2d sections were included to harken back to the Rush games, as the gameplay is much more similar to those games than the Mega Drive Sonic games, even having some key people behind both Rush and Unleashed.
The mistake is lumping different gameplay styles simply because they are in 2d. If we apply the same logic to 3d, any requests fans may have to re-introduce a particular style of 3d Sonic is instantly discredited.
This is what the boost to win gameplay is to you there’s no way that gameplay can stay fully 3D forever.
@@iceman92211
Nothing stays forever
So? If the sections are good I dont see the problem.
Love how this was uploaded the same minute as kiro talks's vid that happens to be about generations
Actually, you're wrong about the ranking for Generations. You LOSE your S rank if you die even once. Just beating the stage without dying once will give you the S rank.
Also, I’d like to mention the fact that the ranking system is very terrible in this game, not as bad as forces because of that game, I can die 60 times and still get an S
It's fine for new, inexperienced, or rusty players.
@@julianhernandez5322I think he meant that you can die 60 times and get an S Rank in Forces
@@itsfutile1776new players can beat the level and survive being told they can do better. S ranks should be for mastery of the levels, not a participation trophy.
@@Sydney_Angelyt You're definitely right about them needing to change the System though, I wish it was tougher to get an S rank. Hopefully Shadow Generations gets it right.
I'd argue the opposite the literal one thing that forces does better than generations is it has a stricter s rank
This was my first Sonic game. I'm so happy it's coming to modern platforms!
Interesting Theory: At the beginning of Generations we don't see Shadow at the party, but at the end Shadow is with the rest of the people at the party. Since Shadow Generations has been confirmed to show what Shadow was up to during the Sonic side of the story this is what I think might happen in his story: Shadow was invited to Sonic's birthday party but declines due to his character. However, he then changes his mind and decides to go. But when he arrives, he sees the Time Eater sucking everyone away and knocking Sonic out. He then jumps in but also gets taken away. Later, after being freed by Sonic in his rival fight, he hears Black Doom and goes on his own adventure. After of course defeating Black Doom, he'll meet up with the others who are heading to help the two Sonics against the Time Eater. In the end we see Shadow return with everyone else to the party from his perspective, and thanks to the character arc he went through in his story, he chooses to stay and spend time with everyone else. That's just my personal theory, but I hope this is the case.
Makes me wish we could see what silver was up to, because like shadow, he wasn't frozen in limbo.
@@michaeleverett1376 Silver was probably just reliving his bad future
This was the first mainline Sonic game I played, and it’s still one of my favorites in the series. Heck, it pretty much kickstarted my love for Classic Sonic. After playing this game, I would end up get Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection, and play all of the Classic Sonic games there (except CD). I have a lot of respect for what this game has done for me and the memories I made with it.
7:04
Dying once costs you the S rank.
The scale only goes to A by default, with S being the "perfect" bonus.
But hey, at least there is still some skill required to get an S rank.
I guess you could say it’s a game for all GENERATIONS.

It truly is timeless. I can go back to it anytime and it’s still fun. It’s a joy to 100%, or to just play through all the levels again!
Peak game imo
Some of them missions tho are a nightmare.
“You can die and still end up with a s rank” you can’t die to get a s rank 😂
I swear I died and still got an s rank when recording this video 😭
@SFproductions1 when you die you lose the perfect bonus and the perfect bonus is required to get a s rank
maybe im misremembering then. my mistake
@@SFproductions1 it might be that you didn't get a checkpoint yet and started the level completely over which I think doesn't void it, don't hold my word on it
Sonic Generations is a Game I got from my Birthday that’s both the First Semi Introduction to made me interested in the Franchise, the First Sonic Game I Completed, and is one of my All Time Favorite Sonic Games other than Frontiers and Unleashed, and this really is a Timeless Game that you can play nonstop and it gets Better every single time you Replay it with the Stages and Music, sure the Story is the one main flaws however is a Necessary Evil to make you interested in the Sonic Universe for both Old and New Fans Alike exploring the Nostalgic Factor.
Honestly if classic sonic had proper momentum physics then sonic generations gameplay would be 100/10
Bad ranking system sucks, but having leaderboards and competing for fastest completion times is just as good and fun. Even moreso, imo.
I just want Secret Rings and Black Knight representation.

@@ouh_guy6187 I KNOW RIGHT?! WE CAN NEVER HAVE ANYTHING GOOD FR😭🤌🏾.
Sonic Generations saved me during my sophomore year of high school. An 8/10 is a suitable score for the game. It had some excessive loading screens, though.
That's cuz the 7 gen consoles STRUGGLED to run it properly.
@@Neoniq41I hope the Nintendo Switch port doesn't have the same issue.
Sonic generations is my favorite game of all time and I can’t wait for sonic X shadow generations. I think the controls were perfect in sonic generations
SAME DUDE
Wait out of all the games you’ve ever played in life this is your number one favorite ?
@@iceman92211 bro this game is the definition of peak my guy, also nostalgia bias (that’s a given)
@@metaeditzz6934 they are way better titles that deserve the word peak since this one just feels really awkward to call it like that.
@@iceman92211 my guy it’s not objective. It’s my personal favorite, nostalgia bias, massive replayability & just general enjoyment.. I’m a very simple guy to please when it comes to video games especially of properties that I really like
People don't talk enough about the graphics of Gens. Each stages looks downright gorgeous and is arguably on par with stages from Unleashed, Green Hill in it of itself puts anything modern games like forces or fronriers did to absolute SHAME. From running at lively green grass to awesome looking caverns with waterfalls to ending up at a field with tons of flowers, is PEAK Sonic art direction.
Maybe because those are PlayStation 3 graphics, which aren’t really impressive anymore.
@@iceman92211 If you're just looking for the polygon count and nothing else then maybe.
Erm of course it’s timeless the game takes place in a void outside of space and time
I find it funny that one of the most infamous and hated boss fights in the series (so bad that it made people hate Silver, which is tragic since he's my favorite character) was reimagined into the best rival in the game.
Granted the only thing that is similar is the music, throwing stuff at you, and one line in the Japanese version (無駄だ/mudada, which was translated to "It's no use" in 06 and "Give up!" in Generations)
wow the title is perfect imo,you chose the right words for it,and as for the video i completely agree with everything you said (except that my favourite stage is seaside hill act 2) sonic generations is indeed timeless
Man why everyone dissing on forces still? I’m getting tomatoes thrown at me man! I think the games still good!
This was the first sonic game I played, and it made me a fan for life.
Ik a lot of ppl complained that there are too many city levels in gens, but think about it, the city levels in sonic games are always the best. Heck, even in forces Metropolitan highway has the best levels in the game (also the only zone in the game that doesn't have a classic level for some reason) so I understand why sonic team put so many city levels into the game.
Also don’t forget the modding community is insane!! Making the game even more replay able.
If they push the ranking system to be more challenging, then I'd give this a 10/10
This was my first Sonic game that i played since i played Sonic Heroes in my childhood or a little bit of Sonic Adventure and Riders at my cousins place (and also some classic games on my phone) and this game is a reason while i became so interested in every other sonic game and in this series in general.
I really need to play sonic gens
I Love Sonic Generations And I Can’t Wait To Play It With Sonic X Shadow Generations 🔥🔥
For me, Sonic Generations is my most replayed Sonic game. Granted, I usually only replay the modern Sonic levels as I'm more nostalgic of the 3D Sonic games. What makes the game re-playable is the fact that you can use different songs for the levels. For example, I always play Live and Learn from Crush 40 when playing the City Escape level. I do the same thing with the rival fights. I tend to use "I Am All of Me" during the Shadow rival fight.
i like to play "it doesn't matter" during the time eater fight cause i though it was a good fit
Time Eater is such a scary cosmic concept.
I'm sorry, but Planet Wisp Act 2 has to be my favorite remix. WHY IS IT SO GOOD😭🤌🏾?
Either Act 2 or the Whitespace theme. THEY'RE BOTH SO GOOD😭😭😭.
I am a huge Sonic fan my first Sonic game was Sonic dash and I love Classic and Modern Sonic I can’t wait for October I’m excited to play Sonic Generations for my first time
This was the first game I’ve ever played, doesn’t get old
its good timeless is an overstatement
Timeless is NOT an overstatement
Can't wait to play it for my first time in october!
Agreed. It’s the best 3D Sonic game. Bar none.
Agree
So the best 3D Sonic game ever is a 75% 2D game ?
@@iceman92211 Wow, you sure showed them 👍
@@sauce987654321 what do you mean?
Funfact abt 7:41: apperently sega asked on their facebook acc abt everyones favourite stage in the sonic franchise, and this is how we got the stages. Another funfact is that there were also stages from secret rings and black knight included, so we maybe wouldve gotten a stage from these games
Talk About The 3Ds Version Ez!!
Been my favorite sonic game since 2015
Real funny calling a game timeless in which the whole plot is about time being gone 🗿
I'm not sure if I made this confession before, but I never played the original console version of Sonic generations: I did however play the 3DS version (criminally underrated by the way).
Oh in addition to all of the Shadow content we are getting, this will be my first full experience of the main game: needless to say, I am excited🤩
I do have one small critique: I wish they would have done more with the whole past and present thing involving classic Amy and classic knuckles, but then I remember this was the era where Sonic's friends were considered bad
Generations is up there! Going fast actually feels good in this game unlike Colors and it represents the era of Sonic perfectly
Classic era, Adventure era and Morden era! Great boss picks and side missions and the game is nearly 8 hours if you play the missions too!
While the final boss is annoying with Sonic's friends not shutting up to be fair I don't hate it I like that they are with Sonic the whole way though but that's just my opinion! Overall love generations
How does it represent the Adventure era when there’s no Adventure gameplay ?
@@iceman92211 Levels and bosses
@@elioridacow OK what’s the gameplay from the levels ?
@@iceman92211 It doesn't have to be the EXACT gameplay to represent the adventure era
It has Speed Highway, City Escape and Seaside Hill and it has Shadow as a rival fight and Perfect Chaos as the major fight
That represents the adventure era in Generations, The gameplay doesn't have to be exact, You people are so picky just be grateful you even got anything adventure related
@@elioridacow so the classic fans are allowed to get their beloved classic sonic and classic gameplay but us adventure fans are forced to except this boost to win gameplay even if we don’t like it ? Yeah that’s definitely a game for “ all fans “ because it seems like you’re fine with it picking a specific type of fans.
Also, I love the fact that you’re saying it represents the adventure era by literally only having levels and Boss fights instead of the actual gameplay, because aren’t you guys keep defending generation by saying only the gameplay matter when I’m literally talking about the gameplay and you decided to name level designs instead, what kind of logic you’re implying here ?
"TIMELESS" AHAAHAHAHAHHA
.............
Nice
Glad I pre-ordered Sonic X Shadow Generations Deluxe edition. I never really played Sonic Generations before so it's a whole new game for me
Your in for a treat
Sonic Generations remaster coming on modern consoles with a Shadow bonus content is gonna be amazing! I am absolutely gonna be playing this game 24/7 when it comes out. Generations definetly one of the best Sonic games out there. Story may be meh but the gameplays just look fantastic! I have been wanted to play Sonic Generations for so long. I never pre ordered a game so fast!
Sonic Generations is one of my all time favourite games. I like boosting through the stages and the bosses are pretty fun. Story is atrocious compared to previous entries but I still enjoyed it.
Oh, you actually bothered to criticize the story ? In that case what do you think of the characters ?
Can't wait to play Shadow Generations.
Best sonic game ever made.
7:03
You can’t get an S rank if you die once. As it’s required to not die to get the S rank.
I’ve yet to play Sonic Generations, so SXSG being released soon gives me the perfect opportunity to play it for the first time on Steam!
I’ve heard nothing but praise for this game, so I’m very excited to play the full game when SXSG comes out!
That said, I did play the Sonic Generations demo very recently with a controller for the first time. Given my PC is not built for gaming, I was very worried this demo was going to run horribly. But surprisingly, it ran really well! And I had a fun time with the demo! 👍
7:00 you actually can’t get an S rank if you die at all in a level. Still your point is true.
I really enjoyed generations but now im gonna move on to shadow generations im still gonna play sonic generations for nostalgic reasons
My first time experiencing generations was the 3ds version, I remember being do scared to do the later bosses I would make my brother do it. Sadly, I never beat the final boss even though i got to it lol.
Glad this video has came out. Started seeing generations hate and I don’t know what to think
I never completed generations (ps3/Xbox) but I remember playing the 3ds version and completed it I'm so hype to finally completed the ps3 version when it gets release again on ps5 with shadow generations
Hey Sonic! enjoy the future, it’s gonna be great (that line did not age well at the time)
Cant wait to play this game for the first time
Me too I’m excited I know I’m gonna love Sonic Generations even though I never played it I’m still excited 😊
Don't have to wait for it
@@snakey888 what do you mean?
@@Mr.Gamer-123
It is available on Steam, although in a bundle, right now.
I really hope we get a Super Shadow transformation.

Definitely at least a 9/10 with mods. But overall I agree with your review.
There should’ve been a CD STAGE.
My QQZ bias is too great!
Sonic Generations is quite literally, timeless. (Get it? Cause time eater wipes time and space from existen- no? okay, sorry..)
I know this man did not just insult the iconic Sonic vs metal sonic race in sonic cd…
im sorry
Haha, I get it. “Timeless”
Riley do a video about shadow x sonic for generations
WATCH OUT THATS A HOMING SHOT!!!!!!!!
I so hope we get the 3DS levels and boss in Sonic part of Sonic X Shadow Generations, excluding Biolizard and Radical Highway as we know already they in Shadow’s history !
Me too. They didn't do it with colors tho. So I doubt it.
@@gamedestroyer112 I think it is a possibility with DLC as Sonic Generations is the really the only Sonic game that could be a cash cow for Sega ! Plus the amount of levels l would love to see modernised from the Sonic 1 to Sonic 06 would be amazing !
To be honest I just gotta wait for the game to come out. See what’s about. What good is it but I hope. The game is fun, so yeah, let’s just wait in my opinion.
he says about the game that's all about time 😭
iT's bEeN gEneRaTiOns sInCe i'Ve sEeN yOu
I like Generations. I like it a lot. However. And please hear me out... roof top run was done dirty in Generations compared to the og roof top from Unleashed.
*insert joke involving the word generations here*
generations is an A tier sonic game. both sonics control like shit imo and modern sonic more since he felt so much lighter and agile in colors tho its not a huge issue because the levels accommodate for that but i see myself having fun more with classic sonic tbh
TRUE
Idk how some of you guys struggle so much with such an easy control scheme and simple physics engine in some of these games 😆
@@sauce987654321 I didn't say that ? the controls are awful but i didn't mean they are hard to grasp
@@Rad197 I mean that’s what you imply when you say the controls are terrible. Idk what else it’s supposed to mean.
Anyway, when I played it the controls being an issue never occurred to me a single time. Occasionally I see people saying that about Generations and I never understand it.
i love generations the game is fantastic no doubt about that but after getting into other games in the sonic series, i won't lie when i say my love for it has went down a bit, in my top ten sonic games i would place it at number 9, i'm just personally a bigger fan and more engaged in the sonic games that have a bigger focus on story,
hot take (then again since when is any opinion on sonic not a hot take) i prefer sonic and the black knight over generations, yeah generations obviously has the better gameplay of the 2 but black knight having gameplay i enjoy but also combined with an interesting story just makes it the more memorable experience in my personal opinion.
some may not agree as gameplay is the only thing that matters to them but this is just my personal taste.
Generations has flaws, but they are flaws I can look past because the game is fun and the good overlooks the bad. Would I say it's the perfect Sonic game? No, but it's up there in my top 5, definitely an A tier game for me. And like I said in my own video, it's a perfect game for people to play who are just getting into Sonic, whilst they might not understand Sonic lore as a whole, they'll still learn something about Sonic's past and how he transformed from a 2D platformer to a 3D runner.
Hopefully the "YOU HATE GENERATIONS" crowd can get off my as- I never said I hated this game 😭
What do you mean by transform from 2D to a 3D because isn’t Generations is like a 75% 2D game ?
Orange juice
Not milk juice
I love me some orange juice
imagine they revamp the final boss tbh i wouldnt have aprob with it
I wish levels got harder and longer and the game went on. Most of the levels feel very similar, none really stand out.
Oh, you like it hard and long?
You do realize you quite literally CAN'T S Rank a level if you die at all, right?
Best sonic storyline, in your opinion?
There are only 2 issues with gens, 1, it's too shot and 2, the story is non existent. Both of these issues aren't issues anymore bc shadow gens makes the packaged a lot longer and the Ian Flynn is rewriting the original gens story so as long as it's good (and with Flynns track record it will be), generations will be a masterpiece.
Those are barely even issues. What is an issue, and what the remaster is not addressing for some reason is Classic Sonic's poor physics. That is a major problem.
I don’t think you can make a story with this concept that can be considered as a masterpiece, plus the master made it even more confusing, because not only we still have two Sonics, but now Shadow is alongside them, which looks so weird and awkward.
How do you feel about sonic generations getting delisted but not exactly
It's better than the game being completely delisted
Are Sonic Generations made in Nintendo 3ds?!
If you die, you don't get an S rank, it's gained only with a Perfect Bonus ☝🤓
Also, these are just my own two cents, but I'd rather have a ranking system based on time rather than score. Unleashed got that so wrong for me, cuz you never know what you're supposed to do to get an S rank and just "fuck it we ball" until something works
I see some crazy speedrunning technieques that grant a B rank at best, and like
After the hassle, getting just a B has to be a kick in the nuts
If the point of Sonic is getting to the goal as fast as possible, then why the fuck do we need to go through the lower route to kill 3 enemies and get 10 extra rings just cuz otherwise you'll end up with 149099 points and not get an S?
People love to say that Sonic is about going really fast and doing shit in less time possible while also praising the Unleashed ranking system for being so complex and needing so much to be done, but if the S rank requires so much to the point you have to kill every enemy you see, then what's the point of it?
Doesn't it become contradictory?
Savannah Citadel, Windmill Isle, Arid Sands are all stages that have bonkers requirements
Though funny enough, I got an S rank in Jungle Joyride even after dying once, ending with barely under 300 rings and stopping to get an Art Book I missed, so
Yeah, it's bonkers
The ranking system in gens is complete du du trashy dog cheeks so much that when a 9 year old who has never played a sonic game was able to get AN S RANK IN A FEW TRIES!!! A NINE FREAKING YEAR OLD!!!!!
No mention of the 3DS version?
SF: talks positively of gen.
Sonic fans: no. How dare you say generations is good?
(This is a joke btw.)
Also I have all 3 games... my first was the 3ds version btw. I really hope those levels return in some way. I also got the 360 edition. Sxsg I am still waiting on. And I really don't understand why people hate colors generations shadow the Hedgehog heros lost world and such. 06 makes sense tho. But these others are actually playable... so we shouldn't criticize a sonic game Ober it's story. Imo. Yes... we do need good stories. But stories don't always make the game good. Levels do. Just FYI. Imo levels are what matters. Not story. Unless it's Chronicles... that game is genuinely the worst. And 06. 06 is buggy. The rest at least have a comprehensive story imo...
Sega remastering generations is just safe, just like when colors was ''safe''. Sega likes being safe while making newer games, instead of taking risks.
maybe their focus should be on making good games. Who cares if it’s “safe.”
its alright ig
There is a reason Sega wanted to Remaster Sonic Generations, and well, yeah. It's one of the greatest Sonic games! And it still holds up. The game's not perfect of course. I definitely agree on Modern Sonic just doing 3D platforming while Classic Sonic just handles the 2D sections. That method works for Unleashed and Colors. But here, it wasn't needed. And I mean yeah, the dialogue can be a bit much, and the final boss, really sucks lol but other that, still a good damn Sonic game. And Sonic X Shadow Generations will make it even better.....hopefully.
If you want this game to be fully 3D, then you’re gonna have to get rid of this boost to win gameplay since it cannot stay 3D at all.
