Marooners' Rock E3 2011: Sonic Generations Preview

Chris writes: "Last month I was privileged enough to get my hands on the Green Hill Zone remake in Sonic Generations, both in Classic mode and Modern mode. Everything I had been hoping to see in Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1, but was ultimately not provided in that abysmal title, was now in my hands with Sonic Generations. The sense of wonder and enjoyment that I have long been missing from Sonic games is set to return in an overwhelmingly beautiful way, from the extra peek we got at E3. Thankfully, in that few weeks gap between the press event and E3, SEGA didn’t ruin my life by turning Sonic Generations into Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2. Sonic Generations remained the same refreshing blast of Sonic fun that it was when I first touched it."

I played the demo.

I mean I liked it, but there was something about it that reminded me too much of Episode One, and that kind of sucked.

I just want them to go back to what Sonic used to be, not what they think it has to have.

Looks like I owe Sonic an apology for all those times I talked bad about him and his recent games behind his back.

The 7 Best Sonic the Hedgehog Games: Racing through Time

Sonic the Hedgehog has a long and turbulent history in videogames, but which are the best games featuring the blue bur?

Rebel_Scum100d ago

Generations over Mania? Please… Generations doesnt have any new ideas in the levels/bosses.

Also a top 7 of Sonic games shouldn’t have any 3D crap and contain at least one of the 8-bit titles.

Sonic CD getting snubbed is weird. Number 1 is definitely interchangable between Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

Snookies12100d ago

Nothing wrong with putting Generations over Mania. Generations had a lot more to it. Mania was just a bit too short, despite how amazing it was. They're both top-tier Sonic games though.

Profchaos100d ago (Edited 100d ago )

I don't think mania was to short given 1,2,3, knuckles were between 1 and 3 hours long.

Mania was 5 hours roughly

However i say the originals feel more repayable because they are so short

Profchaos100d ago (Edited 100d ago )

The 8 bit games were pretty bad overall do you mean the 16 bit ones

Rebel_Scum100d ago

Nope. Sonic 1 & 2 on the master system were great. Dont confuse these with the game gear versions either.

Profchaos100d ago

Top 7 for me
7 cd
6 mania
5 Frontiers
4 sonic 3
3 sonic 1
2 sonic and knuckles
1 sonic 2

Sometimes I feel like the Sonic Advanced games just didn’t exist with how much it’s always forgotten 😭

Chocoburger98d ago

Even as a Sonic fan, I didn't really care for those games, and getting the Chaos Emeralds were freakin' horrible. Even with an emulator and save states, I didn't have the desire to try. I also didn't like most of the levels or bosses either. Unfortunately, DiMPs aren't good at making Sonic games.

Why the Separation Between Modern and Classic Sonic is a Double-Edged Sword

The divide between both iterations of Sonic is now reaching spin-off territory, and the way Sega is handling it is both a blessing and a curse.

Sonic Handheld Games that Need Remasters after Origins

BLG writes: "With the success of the films and the promise of Frontiers, it’s possible that we’re ushering in a new golden age of Sonic the Hedgehog. While Sega is looking forward, the company is also looking back. It’s giving us Sonic Origins, a retooled collection of Genesis classics. However, this package fails to provoke a burning question: what’s the best Sonic handheld game?"
