Well, this is going to be a disaster, then.

Dude, we don't have any footage yet, so it's best to wait and see, please.

I can already see it.

The Generations remaster is just Generations again, but with the playable Shadow from Forces. My evidence is how Metal Sonic in Colors Ultimate it's just the same model as Forces.

Isn't it easier to just make a Shadow DLC on the Steam version? Fuckers are going to take their most popular game off Steam for some cheap DLC.

Still, there's no need to pre-emptively assume it'll be garbage when we haven't see even a single clip yet.

If I turn out to be right, I'll be wanting an apology.

Likewise, I'll apologize if the trailer is good (with a bit of buffer time for people to point out how much is wrong, which will happen regardless of overall quality).

Even as someone who's pretty neutral on Shadow, there's something incredibly smart about hypothetically adding him as playable to a Generations remaster if they do it right. If Shadow's differentiated from Sonic with his movement/jumps/abilities just enough, then there's easy replay value in having two campaigns that are their own distinct playthroughs. If they do some subtle alterations to the stages, then that would be even better at making the seem like fresh experiences for veteran players.

Shadow and Blaze in general are ideal for playable status in various titles because with the ideal design they can fall into the goldilocks zone of different from Sonic while still not being wholly different kinds of gameplay.

I would not mind if making fun visual novel side games like that was just a running thing for the Sonic franchise. Make them like an April tradition or something.

[up][up] It's fun on its own, and I'd like to see more. That said, it's really basic. I would like them to step up their game for subsequent projects. They need to add much more content and depth, especially if they plan on making a paid product.

I enjoyed it, although Shadow's inclusion comes off as pandering to me, I don't feel Shadow would ever go to Amy's birthday party.

Guy barely enjoyed being in Sonic's.

By the by, if the Generations remaster truly is named Sonic X Shadow, by default we will all name the game Sonadow Generations.

I am all for Sonic games set in genres outside of just platforming action. More visual novels would be nice!

I think they started changing up how they utilize Shadow in the last few years. These days, he gets used a lot as a secretly quite heartfelt person with surprisingly quirky interests who just maintains a brusque exterior, and who is only a colossal dick to Sonic in particular.

Part of it is also that the writer also drew a bit from the twitter content, where that's even more of a thing with Shadow. The same writer also writes TailsTube, where the same characterization continues.

I think Maekawa would need to be asked on that, really. And from what we have of his material, he was pretty nice to Team Dark in 06, and was a solid knight in Black Knight. It's really the 2010s era that made him extra aloof. He actually cracked a few jokes and came off pretty warm to his teammates in Heroes, and that was when he only barely remembered who he was.

I dunno, going by that scene of Amy giving Shadow a speech that reminded him of Maria, he might like her more than he likes Sonic. Do Shadow and Amy have any other significant interactions?

He can choose to help her and Cream in his own game, but otherwise, not particularly.

They've probably spoken in Free Riders and Chronicles, but neither of those scenarios could be considered down time.

Shadow also seemingly wasn't invited to Sonic's party, he only shows up after the time eater summons everyone.

I'll answer that.

No, Shadow and Amy don't interact in Free Riders either. Amy, being the jerk that she is in that game, mostly insults Rouge and Wave.

Nor in Sonic X if I can recall. Shadow interacts with Sonic, Rouge, Eggman, and Chris. Everyone else was only in that episode where he tries to kill Cosmo.

And they don't interact in IDW either.

In the games, it seems Shadow only interacts with Sonic, Rouge and Omega, and Silver. Otherwise he doesn't talk with anybody else.

(In Archie, Shadow once hit her with her own hammer, but because Rouge wanted the shiny in Blaze's posession. Otherwise, nothing to remark).

Shadow is like a cat. He wants to be here but insists on sitting on the fringes and not coming in any further. If you pay attention to him he'll make funny noises and storm off, only to tiptoe back later, always making sure to be in eyesight so you can see him ignoring you.

More information about the alleged Sonadow Generations remaster: it will have new levels and story on top of being a remaster that adds Shadow as a playable character.
