I've not been able to track down what CD that was on.

Sweet, thanks!
LOL at the Eggman video. Talk about a change of pace. That beats the SA2 Eggman City Escape video by a mile.

I've noticed Sonic games lately tend to do that a lot (that is, the the powered-up theme music) lately, and it has a really good effect.
(like in Sonic Colors, the final boss theme (spoilers !) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCDDNKRd9Ow )

In case anyone was wondering, Sega announced the total life-to-date sales of Sonic Generations a few days ago in their most recent financial report. Across all platforms, Generations has sold over 1.6 million copies. Honestly, I expected worse.

A lot of the music notes you have to chase down specifically seem to make you leave the area and force you to take the long way just to get back. It's the worst.

They seem to loop round when left long enough, eventually I just began playing the waiting game instead of the chasing, especially in the awful modern era hub layout.

the trick is to stay at the place you activate the note it always come back at the starting point .. so just wait 30 sec and jump in most cases
Not bad. Nostalgia goes a long way as far as video game sales.

In order to get all the achievements, do I have to get a S rank in all of the challenge or merely doing them is sufficient ?
Shadow Hog

IIRC, merely doing them is sufficient. You only have to S-rank the main stages.
LOL the PC release of Sonic Generations is the best thing to happen to this game. Also I didn't know you could hit Metal Sonic when he's charging his laser.
To anyone else with the 3DS version:
Do you guys know how to beat missions 87 and 89? These are the last two I have to clear and I can't figure either of them out.
I consistently cant find three enemies in 87, and I don't know where the laser wisp is in 89.
edit- Nevermind, looked up 89 and was able to find out where the wisp was. Can't find anything on 87 though

Can you elaborate more for the rest of the thread's audience?

This was posted on Sonic Retro by Ell678, apparently there's a fix now to run Sonic Generations across multiple monitors. It's not perfect, the HUD and results screen stretch as if the screen was still 16:9, but the screenshots Ell provided are something to behold.
Here's a link to the fix.

Just picked up this bad boy today. 100%'d Green Hill Zone already. A lot of fun, indeed.
You can unlock Sonic Boom and Palmtree Panic reaaaaaaaal quick, so yeah, this game is good. :lol The Metal Sonic fight is also wonderful.

The Sonic 3 & Knuckles extra song arrangements in Generations are bland.

More specifically, they sound like somebody played a MIDI file and called it a "remix" - assuming we're talking about what I think we're talking about.

Any word on DLC?
BlazeHedgehog

I wish. I've been sitting on a few thousand Microsoft points in anticipation of there being DLC for Generations like there was with Unleashed.

Been out on XBL/PSN for a while, I think. Hit Steam when Sonic CD and Sonic 4 did.
But I mean like, DLC beyond that. Like new levels. Not barebones pinball minigame pre-order bonuses.
Wow, I didn't even notice it was out.

Make sure you youtube it first.
A friend of mine bought it without realizing it was just a pinball table and not a new level.
No! What?! My $1.60!

You didn't know? It's a pinball table, and not even a particularly interesting one at that.
How would I know? Steam is like, dude, Casino Night Zone. And I'm like, OMG CASINO NIGHT ZONE
And then I bought it.

Let's Play Sonic Generations 06: The Sound of Speet
"Who would put saw blades in a gym?!"

While the game overall seemed polished enough, I get the feeling Generations didn't get much of a budget, especially when you compare it to Unleashed. Even after 06 tanked, Unleashed still got one of the most expensive looking cutscenes in the franchise's history, an epic multi-part final boss, a pretty well produced 10 minute CG short, complete hubs for each country, an entire baffalingly different gameplay style, and tons of additional act packs as dlc, along with all of that R&D spent on the Hedgehog Engine and the entirely different Wii and PS2 versions. Even Colors had an entire zone devoted to building up to the finale + CG cinematics.
I'm finding it hard to understand how they could afford a huge game like Unleashed after the overbudget flop that was 06, but Generations seemingly gets treated like a side game with just the main stages and sub missions. It didn't even seem like they had enough time to finish the final boss. I'm starting to wonder if we'll even get dlc for Generations honestly.

Well Generations was developed alongside Colours, right? It probably WAS considered the side game given that the real money for the franchise is on Nintendo.

You could've pre-ordered the (superior!) PC version for $25 if you were paying attention.
Not that $25 is much of a discount when you can still get it brand new on Steam for $30 right now. There's a demo if you're not sure how it'll run on your system.
It was discounted pretty heavily during the winter Steam sale.

It's already been on sale for $10-15 on Steam, Amazon, and other retailers.

They're all too busy with the Wii U game to make DLC. Shame- I want some Sonic 3, CD and Rush levels.

It was four months after the game's release, the Chun-Nan pack came out in March. I really hope they don't skimp on the DLC.

That's rumored to be the Colors Team plus Nintendo staff, so it doesn't really affect the Unleashed/Generations team.
Above all else, I'm amazed they haven't said anything about music DLC.
