Starting to believe in himself
#77101: Jan 31st 2024 at 8:30:49 PM

Some people on twitter have brought this up already, but long ago Ian himself headcanoned that the Time Eater was essence of Mephilis who survived in limbo from being snuffed from the timeline. We still don't have an explanation for what the Time Eater is, and since Ian is writing, he may potentially have the power to put it into fact. Which would make the campaign basically a team up of Shadow's Ultimate Nemeses!

Remember that Flynn headcanons can be shut down easily by Sega. He wanted Hyper Sonic, Iizuka said no; he wanted Sticks to be on Angel Island, Iizuka said no.

However, it is possible, and there is a possibility, that Mephiles could appear, and this is because the game already brought back Iblis through Crisis City. Blaze even remembers the level.

I've been hearing criticism of people annoyed that Shadow's plot is about revisiting his past. Me, being the cynical jerk I am, just know this is the excuse Iizuka wanted, as the whole game was made to promote Sonic 3, and the story recap is to help new players.

Annoyed Shadow's plot is about revisiting the past? That's literally what the point of Sonic Generations fucking is!

Really another city?

Digital Circuit or Eggman's Carnival are much more interesting levels they haven't shown off yet.

So, yes...another city.

I’m betting on a Mephiles and Infinite fight.

Probably a Heroes stage (Egg Fleet?), an 06 stage (betting Kingdom Valley or the desert stage), a Forces DLC stage, and some more Shadow stages.

I’d say Sky Troops or Circus Park cause they are the most beloved stages in the game. Maybe The Last Way as a high combat stage.

If you're annoyed that Shadow's revisiting his past again, imagine how pissed Shadow is.

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)
I pray it's this. For a remaster, it'd be amazing for it to include levels from all of those as a continuing celebration of Sonic. I still have the original Sonic Generations on my laptop and play it at least twice a year.

I'd personally be more excited if it were Amy, Tails, Knux, Rouge, or Gamma/Omega being added. Characters whose playstyles shake things up a bit and open new avenues besides what Sonic can already do. Shadow's just a glorified reskin.

I dunno. Maybe they'll give him guns again or something.

They tested the waters with Frontiers' Final Horizon update, and they may be doing the same here. We'll just have to wait and see.

It’d probably be really easy to make Classic versions of Lost World levels, at least, because Lost World was basically conceived as “what if as Classic as possible in a 3D space.” Modern, though? It’d depend on the stage.

The area I would pick hopefully wouldn’t have much of a problem:

I'd personally be more excited if it were Amy, Tails, Knux, Rouge, or Gamma/Omega being added

Likewise, tbh. I mean, don’t get me wrong it’s nice to have Shadow back, but I feel like this big remaster of the game celebrating Sonic’s whole history just being a Shadow vehicle is a bit of a waste of potential.

I just hope that Shadow's gonna be more than just a reskin with slight differences. I believe I saw him using Chaos Control, let us utilize all his chaos powers. Just make sure they're actually functional this time.

[up][up][up]I remember reading that Knuckles' series is being co-opted by the Black Arms, as well.

This is going to be the year of Shadow shilling, may as well get used to it before it gets even worse.

We still don't have an explanation for what the Time Eater is, and since Ian is writing, he may potentially have the power to put it into fact. Which would make the campaign basically a team up of Shadow's Ultimate Nemeses!

That'd be insanely cool. (And shame on me for thinking the Time Eater was a robot built by the Eggmen!)

My qualm is that how would Shadow remember Mephiles when the events of Sonic 06 got wiped? Maybe the Time Eater forces Shadow to remember? Or Shadow never really forgot? (Come to think of it, could Sonic remember it because of REPM too? And Blaze? Probably overthinking it.)

Remember that Flynn headcanons can be shut down easily by Sega. He wanted Hyper Sonic, Iizuka said no; he wanted Sticks to be on Angel Island, Iizuka said no.

Yo, I heard about the Hyper Sonic bit, but Sticks on Angel Island?! surprised Where the heck did that come from? And why hasn't that happened sooner?

However, it is possible, and there is a possibility, that Mephiles could appear, and this is because the game already brought back Iblis through Crisis City. Blaze even remembers the level.

POW! They can potentially take care of the time paradox!

Sadly, Ian confirmed not long after Frontiers came out that Sonic does not remember the events of 06, which would entail everyone else likely doesn't (Blaze is in a weird situation there).

Mephiles as Shadow's recurring franchise villain, as Eggman is to Sonic. Every time Shadow defeats Mephiles, Shadow's memory is wiped and Mephiles incarnates into a new form to find a new way to menace reality. Inexplicably, Shadow always winds up getting involved, defeating him "for the very first time", and getting memory wiped again only to show up to thwart the next Mephiles incarnation.

Only Mephiles knows that they've done this over and over and over again a dozen times and he's getting really fucking sick of it.

Which is odd, as Sonic referenced the events of 06 in Team Sonic Racing.

I guess he is confused by what the higher ups said again.
