That Macy's Day float will be filled with furries!

One of the site staff of Sonic Retro (who got the game today) hinted that there's a

Spoiler

Chrome Gadget

remix in one of the Speed Highway missions.

YESSSSSSS


Can't wait for the soundtrack.

 

[TimmiT]

From the guy who got the game early:

Also, the red rings you collect unlock concept artwork. You can unlock the game music in the game (think Sound test) too. But with "notes"

I think it means getting music notes, but haven't seen any yet. Also S ranks are much easier. You can get S Rank by getting A + not dying.

Cutscenes on 360 seem rather low-res pixelated, but hilarious to the tune of Colors. Much self-deprecation, poking fun at the series.

[Seven Force]

Generations is still being done by the Colors writers, right? I found the cut scenes in Colors to be surprisingly enjoyable.

 

[Anth0ny]

Apparently Best Buy at Dallas, Texas is selling the game early: http://twitter.com/#!/ceej64

Time to bail out. I bet music will start leaking soon.

 

[JonCha]

Apparently Sonic 2 holds the record for just under 500k sales in the first week, Generations could quickly beat Colours' sales numbers.

 

[LeonSKennedy90]

Ok, that's it, tomorrow I'm taking a trip to Best Buy

Sadly I've already preordered MGS HD collection and don't plan to change that. Generations can wait... but still hnnngggg

 

[ShadiWulf]

I got such a good deal at amazon, I'm just gonna have to wait it out... gonna be a long 5 days.. XP

NO! Look pal, you think your old games are more important than this new game about old games? Sort your life out!

On a serious note... there's way too much nostalgia in this industry. :lol

Sure the sonic games have a ton of replay value, but the mgs games in nature a longer in general and even longer for perfect run stuff. Not a bad choice to play first at all.

 

[The Xtortionist]

leak the soundtrack goddammit! Fucking do it!

 

[J@hranimo]

This! If this were to happen I'd be good up til Tuesday.

That pic from Best Buy......unnnnnggghh!

To be fair, I've just got into MGS. lol

Sonic though, definitely nostalgia. I think the soundtrack will help the wait

Spoiler

Someone leak it already!

MGS3 will blow your mind, if it hasn't already. Wonder if Sega will re-release SA2: Battle at some point.

 

[Zafir]

I'm kinda glad MGS collection was delayed in europe in that respect. Means I can focus on the new releases in such a busy period.

MGS3 will blow your mind, if it hasn't already. Wonder if Sega will re-release SA2: Battle at some point.

I hope so. That, Shenmue 1 & 2, Jet Set Radio, Grandia 2 and Chu Chu Rocket.

 

[PhantomOfTheKnight]

Expect a video from the buyer in a while. In it is Classic Sky Sanctuary and

Spoiler

a cutscene where both Sonics just barely miss each other; apparantely they don't meet until after the Death Egg Robot Boss. Also, there are supposedly only 13 cutscenes.

 

[JonCha]

Expect a video from the buyer in about 20 minutes. In it is Classic Sky Sanctuary and

Spoiler

a cutscene where both Sonics just barely miss each other; apparantely they don't meet until after the Death Egg Robot Boss. Also, there are supposedly only 13 cutscenes.

So after the first cutscene, I'm guessing

Spoiler

you play as Classic Sonic and Modern before they meet?

Pretty cool.

 

[Dark Schala]

Oh God, I wanna hear the soundtrack nooooowwwwwww. :O

I can't wait until Tuesday! Definitely picking this up on my lunch break now.

Cutscenes on 360 seem rather low-res pixelated, but hilarious to the tune of Colors. Much self-deprecation, poking fun at the series.

Excellent. This pleases me.

Manual is crap. Front and back is color, 3 pages of English black and white text, only 1 of which is gameplay info.

Lame.

 

[Klaymator14]

So Ceej64 released the cutscene on Youtube, should I provide the link?

 

[Azure Dream]

Stalling as long as I can before GameStop's close tonight to call in and ask. The longer the news spreads, the better.

 

[J@hranimo]

Meh, They don't put enough effort in manuals these days. It's all about DLC and such.

 

[PhantomOfTheKnight]

Wow, didn't expect a

Spoiler

Secret Rings

reference.

 

[luka]

Fuck you guys. I'm starting to feel the hype.

GODDAMNIT I DON'T WANT TO WANT THIS

Does the game have english and japanese VA options?

 

[Azure Dream]

Watching the video, going through skills now. One that got skipped by:

Spoiler

Athleticism - Lose less speed moving uphill and in water

It's optional, but still kind of iffy that's there.

There's also

Spoiler

a speed upgrade for Modern Sonic

. I don't like upgrading flat stats like that...

 

[Teknoman]

A decent comic repost in honor of Generations:

 

[J@hranimo]

Wow, didn't expect a

Spoiler

Secret Rings

reference.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if they put a reference from that Sonic the Hedgehog arcade game. That's the mos obscure Sonic-related anything I know of.

 

[QisTopTier]

Well I know what perk Im using right away.

 

[GotchaForce]

I want to hear the Planet Wisp theme from this.

 

[PhantomOfTheKnight]

...is it just me or is Classic Sonic a lot bigger in that cutscenes then he does in the level? He's practically as big as Modern Sonic.

Does the game have english and japanese VA options?

Yes.

 

[J@hranimo]

Watching that video ceej64 posted, a few spoilerific stuff in there.

Spoiler

I like how when you go to the zone entrance for the first time it doesn't what zone you're in until you're in it.

 

[Dark Schala]

Oh God, the urge to watch this is getting strong...!

Must resist, because I went into Colours knowing nearly nothing about the game and was quite satisfied from the get-go.

If the music is audible, I'll probably keep it on in the background.

In this case you should probably steer clear because she talks about some of the stuff going on in the game including spoilers. There is another new song from a classic game but that's all I'm gonna say

A decent comic repost in honor of Generations:

Oh Knuckles.

>_< Must resist urge to watch.

 

[Seven Force]

Spoiler

Sonic: Is it me, or is that place we were in awfully familiar?
Tails: Not to me...

Heh, took me a while to get it.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT

I need to play this NOW.

The cutscenes are super charming and nothing too corny yet. Can't wait to see more of Classic Sonic in a scene! UHGG

 

[Dark Schala]

Thanks, I won't watch then.

Even if I know quite a bit, I want the rest to be a surprise. These next five days are going to feel long. Must play Kirby and Xillia to get my mind off this! >_<

yeah that was a good one

 

[Klaymator14]

not like it matters at all, but I have a countdown timer until US release date on my webbysite http://klaymator14.me/

 

[Cmagus]

ugh steam isnt till next friday

 

[Zafir]

Lucky it's only 5. A week for Europe. Next week is going to be horrible. Lucky that Uncharted 3 comes out on the same day everywhere I suppose. Can play that until Friday.

 

[WillyFive]

A decent comic repost in honor of Generations:

It only really needed to be this long, IMO:

 

[Azure Dream]

I'm not exactly a "Sonic Cycle Sonic Cycle" person, but I do think for a lot of people, this game is one last chance of this:

If Sega fumbles, they've used their trump card. I can't think of anything past this that would get the dissenters' attention past "Sega lets Nintendo make a Sonic game" or something that extreme.

Thankfully, just about everything so far seems to point toward them having pulled it off. Maybe not perfectly, but damn well.

 

[qq more]

It only really needed to be this long, IMO:

Then where's the joke?

It makes even less sense the more I look at this edit. It completely misses the point of the original comic.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

It only really needed to be this long, IMO:

If they replaced the word 'racing' with 'orgy', it would suddenly be far more appealing to the dark underbelly of the Sonic fanbase

 

[Klaymator14]

Next video from Ceej64 at 70% completion, prepare for more spoilers!

 

[PhantomOfTheKnight]

Cutscenes are up!

 

[J@hranimo]

Ugh just cutscenes? This time I think I'll pass.

As a matter of fact I think I'm gonna avoid anymore spoilers unless it's soundtrack related. No more footage, cutscenes, secrets, blah.

 

[RussellXV]

Anyone else successful in finding this at a different Best Buy?
