gwar3k1 posted:You can now preorder Generations on Steam: £19.99. No preorder bonus. Really? It says you get S3&K and Sonic 3D on steam for me. Also Here's the steam page. Steam page for Sonic Generations posted:Pre-Purchase Offer If you look at the achievements, some of the people who own it already have some of them. Must be developers or valve employees or something. e:  Just pre-ordered my copy, and I got these for free, so there is for sure a pre-order bonus. Unless it's US exclusive only, which is kind of a bummer in that case.

For anyone who's interested, I've ran through both versions of the demo a couple of times, and the Xbox/PS3 versions both look and run identically. Will be going with the PS3 version myself, so I can use the Dualshock's D-Pad for classic Sonic, but either version of the game looks to be a safe bet.

That's the first time I played a Sonic game with post-Unleashed mechanics, and my god I can't stop replaying modern Green Hill zone  . I have no idea if I'm any good but I think I like it. 1:20 Classic, 2:23 Modern.

So here's the record for the modern version of the demo. I can only get 1:57 if I'm lucky.

I'm kinda surprised they're releasing it for pc. Looking forward to this one, and that's coming from a guy who avoided the 3D Sonics like they were the plague.

Hearing about S3&K on Steam has reminded me that Sonic & Knuckles is the only main Genesis Sonic game I haven't bought on XBLA yet, but I'm on the fence. Does it enable you to play through the locked-on Sonic 3 or 2 if I also have those titles?

I think it's funny they're trying to revive everyone's view of Sonic as a good franchise and the two games they're giving away with a pre-order on Steam are Sonic 3 & Knuckles, the best Sonic game ever, and Sonic 3D Blast

The 'modern' one being 3D and terrible, much like every other modern Sonic game

Apologies if this has been asked and answered before, but there's something bugging me about the Collector's Edition statue. I know that Modern Sonic has buckles on his shoes, but I do not remember Classic Sonic having them. As I remember it, Classic Sonic only had the white stripe. Indeed, most Generations game art seems to confirm this. So why does Classic Sonic have buckles on the statue? Don't get me wrong, I downloaded the demo on PSN a couple of hours ago and I couldn't stop smiling. A Sonic game that made me laugh and feel real joy hasn't happened in a long time. It's just the perfectionist in me sees this inaccuracy and wonders why this mistake (as it seems to be) has been made. EDIT: Further investigation seems to reveal that a lot of people are getting actually enraged by this, though one YouTube video is now shattering my original assumption. It would seem that Sonic has always had buckles on his shoes? Game art throughout the 20 years is being strewn in front of me in video format... but I swear some of the Generations videos have him sans-buckles. Am I going mad? Have I totally missed the buckles all these years? Dragoon Knight fucked around with this message at Oct 20, 2011 around 00:32 |

Sonic always had the buckles but when he was redesigned by Sega of America they removed them.

Dragoon Knight posted:So why does Classic Sonic have buckles on the statue? Most of the time the buckles are usually hidden away or just not drawn on. They were never added on the sprites for being such a small detail, but he's always had it, least with the Japanese art. GameboyHero fucked around with this message at Oct 20, 2011 around 00:36 |

BrokenGameboys posted:Dude's always had it. Look carefully at the shoes. In case you want another example. Yeah, cheers for this. I've had a look around properly and I can see now that he was always meant to have buckles, but I never saw them. I was a MegaDrive Sonic fan, and these boxes and this title screen have a lot to do with it. Couple that with them never being drawn in-game until after Sonic & Knuckles and my confusion is now explained. I'm OK with the buckles now, I think. But it will always, always be Dr. Ivo Robotnik. EDIT: Grammar / spelling.
