So Shadow's past.

The space Colony Ark, Westopolis. Doom, and Biolizard.

That's only two levels, two bosses.

Do you think we will see Memphis in Crisis City?

[up][up]I'm kind of half-expecting Mephiles to attempt a Hijacked by Ganon, so maybe.

SEGA probably knows way more people like Mephiles than Black Doom.

[up][up][up]We basically HAVE to. He's the last Antagonist Shadow himself had to really take on as a protagonist. He hasnt been given much else to work with since.

That said, were finally in the sonic era where IM getting pandered to, and im so here for it.

[up]I assume in this case that Mephiles would be either Time Eater or an angry consciousness locked in White Space.

I don't think he'd be able to reform into Solaris for whatever reason.

Some are suggesting a rival race against Infinite.

I know the Time Easter is a time nonsensical thing, but he is from a future game, so nope.

I mean, given Ian is writing the Shadow campaign and he HAS stated in the past that he believes the Time Eater to be Mephiles' consciousness still lingering in the world after Solaris was burnt out...

OH MY GOD ITS REAL, ITS REALLLLLL-

Ok, but in all seriousness, this’ll probably be my favorite Sonic game besides Frontiers. Generations was my first Sonic game, so this is rlly exciting to hear!

Also, the title is literally Sonadow Generations, lmfaooo-

Honestly, I'm surprised Sega didn't jump on the chance to use Generations as a full-scale DLC platform. Just making level pack after level pack after level pack after level pack and bolting them onto Generations's general framework. Like. It's practically built for it.

This big Shadow relaunch is finally doing what they should have been doing for the last 13 years.

Well snap, I guess that salt was unnecessary. Anyway, I'm excited. I like Shadow still, and I liked his game. I don't know how much campaign he's gonna get (his name and logo is in the game, so hopefully a notable one), but I look forward to it.

I'm not shocked. It's pretty clear that after 06, Sega just lost their nerve on a lot of things. They became very risk averse, hence sticking to only Sonic as being playable. Hell, even this game stuck to that with our choices being between two different flavours of Sonic.

It's only recently that they've gotten courageous enough to give us other characters as playable.

I'm gonna attempt not to look too closely. I spoiled myself on the stages in the original Sonic Generations. I'd like to let myself be a little surprised this time.

Ian Flynn is at it again!!!

He QRT'd the Sonic X Shadow Generations trailer with his now-trademark "#KnowingSmile" hashtag.

Dare I suggest he's been tasked to bring Shadow back to his roots? grin

Oh, and before someone else brings it up: you guys remember how we were dreading SXSG because we thought it'd be developed by some random dev team like Colors Ultimate? One look at the game's Steam page says it's from Sonic Team themselves! Here's hoping that Sonic Team makes the landing!

Im actually excited because base game Generations was kind of an Excuse Plot to go running around classic levels, so I'm curious what Ian is gonna do with Shadow.

My hopes for New Generations in terms of how difficult it would be to add:

  • easy: music from Lost World to Frontiers, esp Sea Bottom Segue, Mortar Canyon and the Cyberspace tunes
  • medium: 3DS version's levels
  • high: Levels from Lost world to Frontiers (Lost World had the issue of the levels being structured differently, at least Frontiers has the cyberspace Levels to pull from. there is also the matter of what characters to use)

[up]I would greatly expect most of the new content to be locked to Shadow.

I could see them retconning something small in from Superstars, as well, like a trophy for Trip or a song from the game.

I know I hardly ever actually talk, let alone think, of Generations, but I am actually interested in Shadow's campaign. Doom's Eye was quite a surprise though. Granted, I have quite some issues with him, but at least it wasn't Mephiles.

Just gotta pray they're not gonna go overboard with the difficulty, considering what happened the last 2 times (Yes, I know TFH was patched, but still the fact it released the way it did is unacceptable. And I haven't heard of anything like that for Superstars yet, not that it would get me to buy the game).

No rain could douse the flames that burn within me!
