Sonic the Hedgehog

[Tennyo]

I wish they would include like, the first zone of the first level of Sonic 3. I always loved the Jamaican drum music that played during that one.

Angel Island Zone?

I hope that if the game sells super (or "hyper"

haha...) well, we get a fully realized 3D redesign of Sonic 1-S&K.

 

[Tennyo]

Yup, that's the one.

As a kid I always thought that one part sounded like Jamaican steel drums.

And then everything got burned down and I was like, no...

 

[ForceStealer]

You probably already know this, but an Angel Island Zone remix plays in Super Smash Bros. Melee Pretty good one too.

 

[Tennyo]

I actually did not know this as I have not played that game.

Is this the one you're talking about?

I like it.

 

[Tetsujin]

That's the one.

 

[Tennyo]

Okay so I have my copy pre-ordered at Gamestop. Woo.

I'm actually really excited for this, for us all to play it at the exact same time and post about it and stuff.

probably more excited than I should be

Sonic Generations PC Specs Detailed

If any doubts of a PC version of Sonic’s 20th Anniversary flagship title remained, today’s releases from GreenManGaming may be enough to clear it all up.

So what will you need to run this on your computer?

Minimum Requirements
Microsoft Windows 7/Vista/XP Intel Pentium Dual-Core T4200 (2×2.0GHz) or AMD equivalent 2GB RAM (Windows 7/XP)/3GB RAM (Windows Vista) NVIDIA GeForce 8800 / ATI Radeon HD 2900 11 GB free hard drive space

Recommended Requirements
Microsoft Windows 7 Intel Core i5 @ 2.66 GHz / AMD Phenom II X4 @ 3.0 GHz 3GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 / ATI Radeon HD 5850 11 GB free hard drive space

The Recommended Settings are certainly nothing to sneeze at in terms of the power needed to fuel the game’s use of Sega’s proprietary lighting engine, the Hedgehog Engine, among other influences like keeping the game running at large resolutions at a smooth 60 frames per second.

No word yet of the game appearing on Steam outside of references in Steam’s index to a pre-order page appearing soon, but sites like Direct2Drive are also allowing pre-orders for the digital edition while Amazon’s French site has a temporary box art for the game with the Games for Windows Live banner.

I just hope:

XPS 630
Processor: Intel Core2 Q6600 Quad-Core (8MB L2 cache,2.40GHz,1066FSB)
OS: Windows Vista
Memory: 4GB Corsair Dominator DDR2 SDRAM 800MHz -4 DIMMs
Video Card: nVidia GeForce 9800GX2 1024MB GDDR3

Is good enough...

[UPDATE: Erase all doubts about the PC version now. Sega Europe and Sega of America put out a press release confirming a digital version for PCs, which includes support for Steamworks so players can use their saves via Steam's "cloud" to play their save game from any computer. No word if this will include PC/PS3 interoperability like other Steamworks title Portal 2.]

I would like a physical copy of the game for the PC... but oh well, not in the UK.

 

[ForceStealer]

Damn Chemical Plant Zone looks pretty.

 

[Tetsujin]

Translation:

Act 1 Challenge 1

Tails: Poisonous Sky
Press Y to grab Tails' hand and reach the goal before time runs out

 

[Makoeyes987]

Wow, so Tails IS a partner in this game! That's cool to hear!

 

[Tennyo]

Can a second player control him?

If they want to go for nostalgia I'd say do that.

 

[Tetsujin]

Boss trailer!

Now that we get a complete look at Chaos, he doesn't look that bad anymore. The first glimpse made him look all solid. Seems it's more of a mix between solid and liquid parts. xP

 

[Cloud_S]

"IT'S NO USE! TAKE THIS!"

 

[Tennyo]

Are those supposed to be the "shitty" Sonic games?

I liked Sonic 4

Yeah.

I found it posted on Kotaku's article on the trailer. http://kotaku.com/5849816/sonic-ver...f-rivals-and-bosses?comment=43521532#comments

I thought it was funny, but I've no idea what is good after the Genesis games (well ok, and Saturn)... though I did play the PC port of Adventure... which... eh.

 

[Gym Leader Devil]

I don't get the disdain SA gets. I loved that game, I miss it. It had some issues, but the things it did right it did VERY right imo.

Oh, I only saw Sonic 2006 there xD I haven't played 4 so I can't judge that, but 2006 was just... bad xD
It has the final boss from Sonic 2 doesn't it ? 4 can't be that bad ! c:

Yeah.

You should play Sonic Rush on the DS, it's really good and feels like the old genesis games. c:

 

[Gym Leader Devil]

I doubt anyone will argue that. Sonic 06 was utter shite and a stain upon the might Hedgehog's once good name.

c|net Previews Sonic Generations in Style, Seasides and Sanctuaries Abound

With half a month before the release of Sonic Generations, the embargo of information is slowly being lifted, with more and more footage popping through every nook and cranny, ready to satisfy the masses unable to contain their excitement for the game. Straight from the people of c|net and their video series preGame, one of the clearest full-length previews of the game so far comes almost live, hosted by none other than Sega of America’s Aaron Webber. To watch the video straight from the source, click here. Otherwise, take a gander at the YouTube mirror below. Either way, just be sure to know that there are plenty of spoilers inside, with more than one level featuring a full playthrough.

Might as well mention this:

In watching the playthroughs of Sky Sanctuary Zone, I do miss the sound heard when you go on the teleporters:

Yeah a friend of mine bought me 2006 for my birthday this year. I attempted to play it, but...it's horrible. :/

I'm probably not going to bother finishing it. No regrets.

Spoiler: Let Me Save You the Trouble Tenny

Sonic and his creepy human stalker-with-a-crush princess mess with the Timey Wimey Ball and in the end the entire game never fucking happened. And there was much rejoicing.
