Premy. Sonic Generations has always the only well recepted 3D Sonic game to casuals. Shadow Generations adds 6 Shadow stages. Its not a full game, but this is acceptable because its part of Sonic Generations remaster. So yes, this is basically Bowser's Fury. If Shadow Generations were a full priced separate game, I would bring up that I beat this in 90 minutes. But an 8 or 9 for a remaster is acceptable
@@rollo-p3p when the Metal Overlord fight gameplay was shown, Gamespot "journalists" legit said "Sonic bosses are always super long, super complicated and you never know when they're checkpointing". The footage was literally showing Shadow go through a huge isolated checkpoint post with audible sound effect RIGHT as he finished that sentence. (atleast the Gamespot video editor is a sensible person)
This isn’t the final score yet, so let’s not celebrate yet. It’s too early. The game will probably stay at a high score but let’s not get our hopes up yet.
Can’t blame you Prem. This was pretty emotional for me to witness too. After all this time, all the backlash, all the drama, just everything that was negative surrounding this franchise…it has now come to an end. Hopefully it stays that way moving forward because while Sonic Team tends to have consistency issues here and there it looks like that aspect will no longer be a problem! I never thought I would say this but the franchise is officially back yall!!! 😭
It is funny that Shadow The Hedgehog annihilated any trace for the series to be taken seriously again with a >50 score. And now they're working together to get that 80+ score, truly fascinating
Interesting how the last unanimously praised Sonic game was Generations in 2011, now Sonic x Shadow Generations seems like it’s being the next unanimously praised game. 🤔 Frontiers, even though it was praised, still had major issues with the game
Generations was what kept the community together for the next half decade after its release. This was a time when we couldn't even praise Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, and the entire 2000's lineup was considered "bad". Even in our darkest hour after the failure of Sonic Boom, myself and a whole generation of Sonic fans would come home to watch Cobermani456 play Sonic Generations mods. That game was our lifeline, and I refuse to tolerate such disrespect.
I've been one of those people who absolutely loved Shadow the hedgehog 2005 game, as a kid I was never as much hyped for a game release as that one. Just above and beyond about it, despite its flaws. If STH 2 will ever happen, it would be a huge nostalgia boom for me
Fr same! I grew up with it and actually enjoyed it (except the multiplayer mode that kinda sucked). I thought the diferent weapon types and routes you could go in were really cool! (By the way, I cheesed all the 10 endings by switching routes so I didn't have to do all the missions which did make the game a more pleasing experience). Ngl I'd be so happy and hyped if we got a sequel to it!
Based on the leaked footage on UA-cam I am very pleasantly surprised by what I saw. Some things could have been better but that's just me being nitpicky, being a veteran Sonic fan and all. Sonic team is definitely moving in the right direction and hopefully we get even more ambitious 3D titles in the future. My expectations were low so gotta give them credit where it's due
Here's what would've given SXSG a 90 on Metacritic: • Sonic Gens: ported to Hedgehog Engine 2, looks just like shadow gens quality. • Sonic Gens: added in a Gens 3DS emulated rom to replace the Sonic 1 cartridge above green hill. • Sonic Gens: Add 6 new levels, 2 new rivals, 2 new bosses. (two eras) (shad05, secret rings, black knight, lost world, mania, forces) • Shadow Gens: add 6 more levels (two levels per game) (white jungle, hang castle, digital circuit, radical train, metropolitan highway, ares island) • Shadow Gens: add 3 more bosses. (sonic, silver, infinite) • Shadow Gens: add 3 more levels as DLC eventually: from Adventure 1, Unleashed, Colors.
Personally, I wouldn't want them to port Gens to Hedgehog Engine 2 cause that would make the controls and momentum feel different so many things can go wrong with that. Plus I still want to be able to do the fun Gens glitches like M speed, D speed, etc. I would also want Unleashed to stay on Hedgehog Engine 1 as well. Adding new levels to Sonic Gens should be extra optional levels and bosses. The bosses and levels can be hit or miss so I don't want it to bog down Sonic Gens if they make those levels from future games required. I also don't want there to be bosses from games later in the timeline cause that can cause massive continuity errors. Shadow literally got slammed by Infinite in Forces, it wouldn't make sense for us to get an Infinite boss in Gens.
@@pelicanspond1070 None of those problems would happen because they have access to all the source code for all the games so all they would need to port over is just the graphics renderer and keep the player controller and physics the same. And if they did change the controls that should be a toggleable setting : original vs new. Only thing about HE2 I want is graphics.
@@Kiezly I highly doubt it would be able to be ported perfectly using Hedgehog Engine 2 by SEGA especially since SEGA aren't the best when it comes to the technical side of things. The graphics render and the physics engine are problem tied to each other and altered in Hedgehog Engine 2 given how Forces turned out.
Seeing how that hubworld from the shadow portion looks compared to the sonic portion, I can get why some of them say Generations feels outdated in comparison
I looked it up and the only Sonic game besides Pocket Adventure that IGN gave a score higher than 9 for was Sonic Adventure 2 (Dreamcast version). They gave that a 9.4.
@nazomius7033 literally stated by who ? I'm replaying it and enjoying it the switch up is crazy plus it got a 73 games like heroes got 77 and heroes is considered the best by some fans lmao,frontiers was a good game
20:51 Don't spoil this *BUT!* I really hope that after you collect all the Choas in each stage, the reward is something good, like unlocking Shadow in both 2D and 3D acts and missions. Or a movie, Sonic skin for modern and a baby movie Sonic skin for classic.

@@hamzamohamed6774 actually I like CD and I never went for the generators and time stones in it. I usually play it like a normal Sonic game and can beat every level and boss in it with ease. I just appreciate both soundtracks, cutscenes, time traveling mechanics, special stages (played most in the time attack mode which i'm disappointed Sonic Origins didn't include in) and visuals in it. Also it didn't frustrate me as much as Sonic 1-3 since it felt easier for me. Anyway, the CD harassment and disrespect annoys me since It's a good game actually.

@@sauce987654321 I mean Astro Bot exists (Score over 90) and that franchise only had one true fully 3d game while other 2 are VR title n PS5 demo. If Asobi can do it, then Sonic Team gotta lock in n at least be at their lvl
