Really? Well, this looks sort of interesting. Still not interested enough to consider a purchase though.

Even though what I've seen of the gameplay still gives me doubt about the game's quality (I haven't played the demo), I can at least appreciate a high definition rendering of Perfect Chaos.

I am really thinking about picking this game up...

I feel worried that the Sonic Cycle is going to bite me in the ass again. =P

This game is only $20.36 on Green Man Gaming using the voucher code: AUTUM-NSALE-20PEC Yes, it is Steam redeemable.

http://www.greenmangaming.com/games/adventure/sonic-generations/

At that price on release it's almost worth it.

I still don't have a clue what this game is...

Did Sonic Team just decide "Right, you liked Sonic Adventure and 2d sidescrolling Sonic, here's both of them at the same time. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?!"

I played the demo and it was like a hd version of an old sonic game. But now theres all this 3d stuff and I don't understand why there's two sonics or anything thats going on in these trailers.

Also what the hell happened to Sonic 4 Episode 2? Did they stop doing that?

As long as they call him Dr. Robotnik, I'll be satisfied.

Hmm I like Chaos and Shadow, didn't play enough of Sonic 2K6 to care about Silver although the fact I know his name is probably telling.

It seems they are literally throwing everything but the Werehog at this game.

I got an S rank on every level in Sonic Heroes, that must be almost as bad. I can not go back to that game anymore without hating it, but the part in another trailer where they flashed a version of the opening stage of Heroes actually made me a bit nostalgic for it.

Y'know in some respects I like Sonic as a character, but the thing they're doing where they just keep adding more and more "badass" angry looking rivals is so incredibly lame that I can't not hate it.

@ViciousAnchovy: The demo isn't all that great, but then again it was put out like right after E3 I believe. So there might of been some fine tuning along the way.

@RockmanBionics: Heroes wasn't all that bad. In fact it's one of my favorites in the franchise to be honest. . . . and there are no S ranks in Sonic Heroes, it was up to A at that point in time.

Considering I did everything you could do in that game, you'd mighta figured that I liked it at one point, it's just impossible for me to go back and enjoy it now. Too much crap to put up with. Really, the reason I even did enjoy myself the first time was a result of really well managed expectations.

Actually, now I think I see where you got confused. I wasn't saying that Heroes was almost as bad as Sonic 2006 (I've never played that one) I was saying that S-rank A-ranking everything in that game was almost as silly a thing to do as was playing Sonic 2006 for a hundred hours.

Wow, does Sega not even know anymore what made Sonic great?

Slap on a '20th Annivesary' and all is okay? Why don't you just do an actual throw back? Oh thats right, that was the Sonic Episodes, how are they doing? Jesus Sega, you really lost the ball.

My hype went from 10/10 to -10/10, the idea of it going back to it's roots is what hyped me, these giant monster bosses are just stupid.

Who else feels like this game is conning them? I mean really! Remember the idea of a nos con? It's all Sonic has anymore! It's going to be just like Unleashed, only possibly with no Werehog.

Possibly.

@SamDrugbringer: I'm guessing that is Perfect Chaos from the end of SA1.

Also, two Sonics and two Tails's. But damn, if they would've shown two Robotniks, I'd preorder that shit today. That is the one big hope I have for that game.

I don't even know what this is supposed to be anymore. I like the idea of sonic CD metal sonic. I hope they put in the metal sonic from S2 or Mecha Sonic from S3. Also remember when they said it was going to be two sonics?

...and two Tails?

.....and Shadow?

......and Silver?

I don't even know what to say anymore.

Did you even look at the trailer? Or any of the other trailers? All the levels and bosses in this game are remakes of levels and bosses in previous Sonic games.

There's no trailer that could come out that could possibly make me more excited for this game, just less excited. Which is what Sega is good at :/. Still though, cannot wait for this game.
