And of course the Sonic Jam skin gets confirmed the second I drop this video LOL

Video thumbnail : before you buy Me who already pre ordered day one: mmmm, yes. This is for me

Short answer: it is worth it

Classic Sonic is getting a Sonic Jam skin if you sign up for Sega’s newsletter

I really don't understand why so little people are aware of this. Sonic Generations and Shadow Generations are in 2 different engines, Hedgehog Engine 1 & 2 respectively, and the same frameworks built with it. This is why Shadow can't drift, and he has the double jump. It's built of of Sonic Frontiers. This is why the jump balls are the same, 360 air movement is the same, graphics are the same, boost effects are the same, air boost is the same, and the combat is the same. It's in the same engine and framework as Frontiers, and different to Generations. Edit: I have been informed that the Hedgehog Engines are just for lighting, and the gameplay was just made along side it. In that case, my point still stands, but I'd just like to make that clear, so I edited the og comment to highlight it. Thanks to everyone who corrected me. 🙏

I don’t think it would make sense for Shadow to have the same dialogue as he did in the time eater fight because the games are supposed to take place at the same time. If Shadow goes through all that. it wouldn’t make sense for him to just be like “You got this Sonic”. Idk why but i also feel like Silver is gonna have a role in this somehow. Maybe not an entire Story but i feel like he’s gonna have a DLC story. Hopefully if so they bring back Pete Capella

With kingdom valley i guess there is a good chance that memphis Tennessee will be in the game too. 😂

14:33 Mephiles hasn’t even had be reoccurring this will be a big deal if he returns

sonic generations was my first sonic game ever when i was a kid i remember playing it in my dads basement back when my parents where still together im so hype for the remaster

19:59 "It also seems like there is some type of Shadow Emblem that you can be able to grab inside of the stages as well." We see one get dropped by the Doom's Eye mini-boss and collected in a cutscene. I don't know if that one's a freebie (like the first Chaos Emerald in Shadow 05), but I had assumed they're story-related. Given that it's also a Black Arms symbol and Shadow's Doom Powers are Black Arms related, they could go towards unlocking/upgrading those powers. They could function like Sonic Adventure Emblems instead though.

im guessing the note is music and paintbrush is art

Skill points (and the Chao card) are all in the base game, and used to buy trivial upgrades like an instant recovery after damage or increased boost gauge, so I wouldn't bank on that too hard. I'm thinking the paintbrush might also be concept art from Adventure 2, Shadow '07 and Shadow Generations, but as you mentioned, the music notes already had that covered in Sonic Generations (though Sonic Generations also gave concept art for red star rings, which are missing from Shadow Generations). As for Shadow Generations omitting the drift, its most likely due to being built on Frontiers, which doesn't seem to have a good handle on drifting just yet, delegating it to gated zones in cyber space.

29 minutes of wait until the full game to come to be sure

I honestly think this is a good opportunity for Shadow to be his own franchise

12:53 Fun fact! This animation for Shadow is a rolling animation from Sonic Lost World. Nice use of your animation, Sega!

Already have the Deluxe edition pre-ordered on steam. So excited!

I'm guessing the paintbrush is for concept art of various things - Probably Shadow, Maria, Gerald, The Commander, Artificial Chaos, GUN Robots, Rouge, Omega, Black Doom, various Black Arms, Shadow Androids, Mephiles, and various Mephiles summons.

I hope shadows final boss fight is his new form vs Devil Doom or mephiles

I’m going to write some bullet points about Sonic Generations Remastered as I watch -The Drop Dash will be a ton of fun for Classic Sonic but I have no clue how I’ll utilize it for Modern Sonic, maybe it’ll be helpful for the platform heavy sections like in Sky Sanctuary, Crisis City, and Perfect Chaos’s boss fight -I’ll give the Frontiers controls a shot, those might be more comfortable for this game, especially since I like going for perfect runs and have to do some precise boost jumps and stuff -I am actually really glad they’re getting rid of lives for one main reason: you lost a life every time you restart the level, and that gets on my freaking nerves and makes perfect runs incredibly frustrating to go for (since when you reach zero lives, “Start Over” is grayed out so you have to manually back out of the stage to restart) -The Chao acting as a companion along with the skill system ALONG WITH alternate skins is going to make customizing Sonic a ton of fun -Thank god they added a display for Red Star Rings, 100% completion will be way more fun now! Hopefully they make it to where you don’t have to beat Green Hill Zone to get Red Star Rings unlike the original game, that was a really weird and arbitrary change

I bought the deluxe edition along with a shadow plush to celebrate the year of shadow this is the most hyped Ive been for a game before and I think they will make a boss per game shadow comes from so like a sonic heroes boss, 06 boss, and shadows game boss they could also add rival fights like sonic vs shadow, mephiles vs shadow and shadow vs black bull or somethin so this game has a lot of potential lets just hope it turns out how we expect it

My fave part about the chao in the cutscene, is that the NiGHTS chao is included alongside the spirit chao, Chaos Chao, and even both hero/dark chao

Chao being the new wisps would be hilarious and at least give chaos a stab back in the series. They are sorta magical so it wouldnt be too farfatched for them to have an unknown ability. And maybe Maria was an artist in her life and that collectable is for artwork and why the paint brush isnthe icon. Also pro tip, print out the Japan cover and slap it in your physical box

i cant waith to see the speedrun videos

I always assumed the paintbrush would just be concept art, like base gens.

I forgot to mention, you are 100% right on the japanese boxart being much better. The american one is a lazy, lame edit of the original Gens' boxart adding Shadow in the middle, with neither of the Sonics even acknowledging that he's there. Meanwhile the japanese one not only does it have actual new artwork for Sonic, and not only it clearly shows that the Sonic and Shadow portions are separate, it's a clear reference to the logo of Sonic Adventure 2. It's absolutely fantastic.

is it possible at all to order the japanese collectors addition to america ? never tried international shipping

wait but what im wanting to know is sonic generations was the last game with endless possiblity from unleashed but will it be in the new game

Important to Note that the PS4 is not getting a Physical Version in the West, you’ll have to import a Copy from Japan.

Weiß jemand ob die Dialoge aus dem Spiel sind oder aus Sonic X

5:23 I've really gotta stress that the removal of lives means you can restart stages, without losing lives, similar to Unleashed in which if you wanted to grind a stage for a better time, you needed a huge stack of lives cause if you made a mistake & restarted, you lost a life, but it's also extremely monotonous having to exit & reload an entire stage over 1 mistake, if you're tryna save your lives. The removal of lives in this remaster fixes that issue entirely.

I think the paintbrush is gonna be concept art like in the original game And the shadow emblems could be used as skill points for the open zone perhaps Or they're memory tokens but for shadow?

Idk if it’s just me or does it seem like Sega took some inspiration from spiderman for the shadow portion, Idk if you noticed in the new gameplay of the cutscenes to stage transitions and it’s so sick, or the venom wings etc, has a hub open world.

I think the paint brush could be for concept art, like you can see in Sonic Generations

On the lives argument, I only ever game overed as a kid and then I'd either give up, get pissed or both. I've recently gone back and messed with the "classic" modes within 1 and 2 in origins with lives to find they had become trivial.

i would love for them to add a Sunset Heights Level and make it, a level. Cuz that was a big standout in Forces

As one of the 10 fans of shadow the hedgehog game. Where are my guns?

22:50 this is as you said, showing that it is 2 games in one by splitting the box art into shadow and sonic

As much as I hate to see life systems going, really the only time I even burned lives in Generations was resetting the level because I missed a ring that was in a particularly difficult spot to reach consistently, like that one after the first building jump on the board in City Escape. I feel like they work for more demanding games, but they're tedius here because it really only "challenges" your ability to find the collectibles. I feel like if this game were harder it would be more of a loss. The quality of life changes definitely add to the value of the game. The old trick system could use some polishing up, and I prefer the new controls for the main Sonic campaign. Going between Generations and Frontiers is...jarring without remapping buttons.

I preorder the digital for both PS4/5 when I get paid next time I’m gonna preorder the physical

Japan typically gets the best stuff, If we could preorder the collector's box for $70 most of us would. I expect Radical Highway to be a stage & you should note that Shadow's wings are in the same place as Metal Overlord's. The Japanese Boxart is a direct reference to Adventure 2 artwork.

The cover art is now switchable. So we can get the Japan cover art

If they added a chao garden I'd happily pay $100! Excited for this game either way though haha

Shadow searching for black arms & sees sonic struggling "You got this sonic" We watch the 2 sonics over shadows shoulder as her wonders were's the black arms leader (leader laughs) shadow turns towards the camera & continues to search for the leader

I think the paint brush might be art

The game doesn't release for 4 months, so why is this video so early. Isn't that a bit unfair?

9:10 maybe they switched to the 3DS version of generations maybe

Hopefully we get a jet set radio (2026) sonic-beat skin.... my favorite character is really Tab but in this new cannon his not the starter trio 😢 it's Combo.

18:48 wait a second…if that robot is going to be a thing, then maybe it could be a reference to the multiplayer STH 2005 Shadow Androids maybe?

If we don’t get a remastered chao garden for current gen ima be fucking PISSED

Out of all the things weve seen return, why tf was one of those a delayed homing attack

You could probably use buyee to get the collectors edition that’s what I’m gonna try to do😁

I bought the original when it was $1 on steam, am planning on buying Shadow Generations, unsure what addition.

22:41 Dont worry its going to be a reversabale cover

Calling it, Rail canyon is gonna be implemented the same way ratical highway is.

I'm planning on buying the standard edition

I'm going to buy this game on sale as I do all my games

Anybody here gonna try and get the Jp collector edition?

i'm getting hyped i might buy sonic generations and shadow generations

You could be thinking that the unannounced holiday 2024 skin for the digiital deluxe edition could be Christmas clothes for Shadow but that might not be what it truly will be because I heard someone bring up a suspicion that it could possibly be a Movie Shadow skin instead!!! That is possible because the third movie has December 20 as it's theatrical release date. They may not have revealed that because they likely want this to be an exciting surprise and also likely because Paramount has been making it be like a total crime to spoil any things about that movie.

I just want a Chao garden man.

I am a sucker for art books, but am also somewhat concerned about locking levels behind the digital deluxe version. I'm hoping it's not plot or story relevant, because that would be unfair to people who didn't want to shell ten bucks for what is otherwise just cosmetic content.

Small fix i hope they make super sonic better to play as. The whole boost and lose rings faster was always lame so i hope they fix that

19:09 hey it's Seelkadoom

I want that keychain.

The Japan box art reminds me of the sa2 symbol

I hope modern sonic can spindash in generations

If they threw in chao garden again I’d cop quickkkkkkk

the paintbrushes are probably concept art

Veteran advice: Wait for it to launch!

Personally I’ll see what people say after it comes out to see if it’s worth it. And if I buy it it’d probably be during a promo or smth

Yes.

I put a lot Of hours into boost being square

Sucks that the Nintendo Switch doesn't seem to be getting a Deluxe Edition - or even a Digital Version at all…!!

Well let's hope, we won't really know until it comes out. Never pre-order kids!

Yes

The game doesn't come out til October this video seems kinda early

I’m just going to download mods from generations, PC

I hope we can set the button layout to original🙏🙏🙏

"wow look at all this stuff it's worth buying due to generations alone" the entire generations modding community who has already done all of this already be lookin like -_-

To me, from what I've seen? Not really. The Drop Dash is already in the 2011 Gens thanks to a mod (and even the spindash for Modern), so that holds zero value to me. Shadow Gens seems cool but I won't pay 60 for 5 Shadow levels, lmao. I might pirate it for my Switch to have both it and 3DS Gens on it though. Portable Sonic is always good.

Instead of watching it for a half an hour: YES

Even though I still prefer Griffith. I legit look forward to Kirk Thornton’s performance in this as he considers this his best portrayal of Shadow

9:25 wishful? My nightmare

I've never played genz so im getting it

But he does have a lot of good points but not enough to make me cancel my pre order

I love sonic as a whole, but man I SUCK at these dashing games. I liked unleash a lot cause at least you get to fight. I tried generations but it made me realize how shitty I am at the sonic games

28:16 This. Oh, so much this. IGN has been memed on to hell and back as some of Sonic's biggest haters, so *WHY* even turn to them if they're gonna give the game a bad score like they've done for the past 20 years?

I ordered sonic x shadow generations for the Nintendo switch ❤❤

Yes, next question

If they bring back Mephalis they need to bring back Infinite as well, just to see the two fight each other, lol.

5:47 To me, Why? I like maxing my lives counter.

honestly the modern sonic drop dash looks like DOOKIE! it just looks so weird and uncomfortable to have it after the jump dash like its just too much. give him smthn else.

My biggest concern is if they'll release it on the ps4 as well

Take a shot every time he says “ inside”. You’d be dead five minutes in.

I already per ordered already before I seen this video nobody shouldn't to tell you what to buy and not to buy it's your money it's your game console it's your life don't let anyone tell you how to live it 😊

bruh it's still 3 months away chill

short answer: YES ITS 100% WORTH IT

Yes all games are worth buying because I’m a adult and want to spend my money on games I didn’t have as a kid☝️always had to rent them from blockbuster and never get to finish them or hardly start 😢 I’m getting this even if it was 70$ 💯

It looks fine

you sound like billeh bawb
