After Frontiers, I have high hopes for that Biolizard boss.

Getting the Classic Sonic physics to be a bit like the 16 bit games would be nice, but I'm not holding my breath.

Okay, no one but me seems to be having immediate complaints about the Sonic portion so while I'm still wary of delistings...

Sorry.

Sweet, a Generations DLC that's more than just a virtual pinball table. Too bad we had to wait 13 years for it and have to buy the game again because the original might not be able to handle whatever new stuff they've added. To give some perspective, I was just graduating high school when Gens released. Had I stayed in college, I would have a Master's degree and be well into doctoral studies by the time this remaster releases.

Don't get me wrong, the Shadow stuff looks pretty cool, but it's still the same game I played over a decade ago.

So its real after all?

Would be nice if previous Generations owners get SOME kinda bonus or discount for this. And hopefully if Shadow is somewhat deeper than just "angry guy" or "diet Vegeta" like a lot of people just want him to be.

I kid you not, the second I heard that SEGA sound(?), my attention was on the screen...or it would've been if I hadn't burned my dinner.

But seeing it again, OHHHH MAN.

The guys who speculated it'd be like Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury might be spot on. It's a remastered take on Generations that squeezes in a new story mode for Shadow that somehow has Black Doom (or rather Doom's Eye) and stages from SA2 and what appears to be Forces? (Because either Black Doom somehow survived death via squirming inside Shadow's mind and Shadow's story is all a battle in the center of his mind, or BD somehow has the Phantom Ruby.) I wonder if there'll be some free roaming like in Frontiers...

I hope they either make Kirk Thornton redo his take on Shadow, or get Shadow's actor from the Prime show to take over.

Ian Hanlin (Shadow's VA in Prime) is easily the superior Shadow...but isn't there some law that says Canadian VAs can't act in non-Canadian stuff unless they have dual citizenship or they have a visa or something? (Unless they're planning to sneak him into the States like in the "Midnight Ron" episode of Archer?)

Speaking of VAs, second-superior voice of Shadow Jason Griffith tweeted back in the beginning of January 2024 about doing voicework for something, but it couldn't possibly be this, right?

...Right?

ALSO BIOLIZARD!

Also also, I don't see any bloom.

Also also also, a blogpost from PlayStation elaborating on the Shadow campaign!

On top of the remaster of the original Sonic Generations, fans will get to experience new content and play as Shadow the Hedgehog as he embarks on his own journey parallel to Sonic’s.

Shadow was first introduced in 2001’s platformer, Sonic Adventure 2, and has been seen in various titles including Sonic Heroes, Sonic Battle, and his own spin-off title, Shadow the Hedgehog. He was created to be the ultimate lifeform with incredible speed, ferocious strength and a rare ability called Chaos Control – by harnessing the power of a Chaos Emerald, he can stop time and warp to new positions. He’s always on the lookout for dangers to the world and protects Earth in honor of an old friend.

Since their first meeting, the Blue Blur has been the only one able to keep up with Shadow – a fact that both fascinates and frustrates Shadow – and has been the driving force to bring out the best in him. Two sides of the same coin, Sonic and Shadow are unfriendly rivals through and through, but they can put their differences aside when the fate of the world is at stake.

Maria acknowledgment, LFG!

Sega seems to hate the handheld Sonic game sif they don't have "Rush" in the title huh. If we're lucky we get some unlockable music.

When it comes to Black Doom don't forget that the Time Eater is already screwing around with time. What if at some point Black Doom becomes aware of it and his goal is to either alter the past so that he wins against Shadow or to escape to the new present where he can cause tons of trouble. I'm personally expecting him to go the escape route but Shadow stops him, but rather then being sent back to where he was defeated originally something he does makes him to powerful so he has to be sealed away leading to him being able to show up again in future games.

If Shadow's campaign is parallel to Sonic's story in Generations I feel like Black Doom is just a memory or outside of time, not that he survived the events of Shadow's game.

But other villains have survived worse, so who knows.

Apparently the Steam page for Generations 2 says Black Doom is back full on, though that could still be some memory thing. Would be funny if he actually is truly back and is looking to do a little trolling. The wording is deliberately vague enough after all.

What if the real Black Doom is the Doom's Eye which can attach to any Black Arms to turn them into the Black Doom we know.

Now I think about it Doom's Eye is Sega basically copying Starro the Conqueror in design. So I'm sure there's some other fictional parasite with powers like that, just can't think of any myself.

The game’s website it up.

From the description, they’re at least trying to sell it as the Shadow campaign being a whole game in its own right.

Would be kinda wild if it was more or less like that. I mean compared to what Forces did which was "three levels of whatever then Shadow can be used in every level I guess"

Shadow even having half the zones of Sonic would be an accomplishment, IMO.

Adventure 2, Heroes, his own game, 06, Forces depending on when Shadow Generations takes place.

Yeah, he was in Battle, but that'd need to be a nearly whole cloth stage.

At most we saw bits of Final Chase and a city stage that could feasibly either Westopolis or Central City so that's one.
