I hope this opens the door for adding even MORE content to Generations as a whole since we've wanted additional level packs since the ORIGINAL!

I love how movie shadow looks in this DLC im so glad how they made movie shadow look more cartoonish in the DLC comparied to the movie version :) fits the game art style better
I genuinely love how round his face is :)
@@DolphynsDeckIan Flynn confirmed he writes with the voice actors in mind so yes he knew about Keanu probably
At 19:17 I love the dynamic that game shadow gives the gun solider a chance for him to escape(because of shadows character arc). If that was actual movie shadow, that gun solider would have probably been stuck in that plane. I also love Keanu in this dlc and his lines. So glad I spent a extra 10 bucks on this game
The money feels super worth. I didn't bother spending extra on Frontiers so no one can say it's glaze lolol
Shadow sparing soldiers in both the anime and the actual game is an important detail we wouldn't see in games like Forces. These small tidbits are why it's so interesting to think of these guys.
Isn't it $5.99?
@@UserAndSale I was talking bout how I got it from digital deluxe edition
it's honestly so refreshing to see another model
After all that campaigning, the model lovers finally got something new to analyze
The goods :
Level design
Visual
Animations / cutscens
The less goods bjt not bad :
The midel is looking like a fusion between the game and movie shadow.
The voice is strange at some times
It is a small level
But i love it.
Yea I like all his voices except the chaos control. It just sounds so basic and uninteresting like when Keanu was doing the voice line he was having a bad day
Shadow's voice going from OG Shadow Generations to this was a bit jarring to me at first just because of how different the delivery is, but something I really like with Keanu voicing Shadow here is that I think he actually sounds somewhat similar to Shadow in SA2 during the flashback scene with him and Maria. They both sound softer than Kirk but Keanu's voice also has a bit of grudge to it. Definitely looking forward to seeing (or I guess I should say hearing) his performance in the third movie.
Yeah I sorta mentioned how I'm used to the more powerful Shadow voices. It's nice to remember the original direction. I bet you that's where Keanu derived most inspo from when he was researching
@@DolphynsDeck he seems on point for the most prt but I really don't like the chaos control delivery I gotta say.
Man naw, bring back David Humphrey
my favorite cameo in this stage is at 1:37 with the sonic channel artist tomoko hayane’s character appearing on the KWTV billboard
they never really reference sonic channel content and seeing one of the artists appear is really cool
Shadow Gens in general has a lot of cool Sonic Channel references like in Gerald's Journal! Actually acknowledging some of the people behind the most iconic Sonic art within the mainline games is very cozy though. I hope they keep immortalizing stuff like this!
12:33 other than that, movie shadow has a lot of missing animations and different rig + bones, so sonic team would need to add and retarget the animations if they wanted him to work in the base game
This visuals is what we need for frontiers 2
They did hyper realistic forests, why not cities too? 🔥
It's giving Spider-Man 2 on the PS2. Really understated vocal delivery from an actor they had for maybe an hour at least. The vibes, therefore, are on point.
LMAOO I KINDA LOVE IT
You just had to be there man. It's the sheer concept alone that makes it charming. This DLC holds a special place in my early 2000s heart.
Keanu sounds like he hasn't slept and is forced to crank out voice lines in one take.
Oversleeping can make you tired as well. 50 years does that to a man
19:00
Yes, you can. That one specifically's just finicky.
Gonna try for it until I get it on replays 🔥 I love destroying missable enemies like the jets in Metal Harbor
To be honest, Tokyo Drive has got to be my favorite shadow gens stage
Valid choice! Especially because it's the only stage that's 100% original.
@@DolphynsDeck nah they took it from that one game called Japan where they had a city level called tokyo, and shadow gens took it
5:56 is anyone gonna talk about how tf does the helicopter fly like that?
The two major issues I have with this DLC are A: the level is really short. And B: the Movie Shadow skin is only available in the Tokyo level despite it being advertised as something we can use in the entire game.
A 5-6 minute level would've been ideal. More branching paths too, but I get the feeling most people will only play this once regardless. I'll enjoy coming back to it on replays of SxSG.
To be fair there is no doom section here otherwise it would be around the same length as the other stages
@@purplefireblue except for Kingdom Valley and Chaos Island. But I still count the Doom sections as part of the stage’s runtime.
@@cj_bluethunder Kingdom Valley doesn’t have a doom section but it does have 2 parts on doom surf with doom’s eye, also both Kingdom Valley and Chaos Island were made longer to compensate for no doom part.
The only thing I wish was different about this DLC is that it would’ve had an actual level name like “Tokyo Tussle” or “Shibuya Sprint”
Shibuya Sprint makes me think of the Olympic Games lol
6:53 if you got to fight heavy dogg from shadow the hedgehog it would have been so cool
I kinda understand why there wasn't a boss because it would imply the Movie Universe has a game accurate GUN or something to that affect. But fighting Movie Sonic would've been at the top of my list for sure
finally someone else agrees that his jumping sounds are so weird to hear
LMAOO it's weird but it's so stupid I kinda love it
"Im so used to deep voice shadow" wth!!! His the only deep voice shadow. Every other shadow including prime did it right.
Both Kirk and Jason have deep voices.
I’m thinking that this is intentional and Keanu is playing the game Shadow (Shadow Generations) instead of how the actual movie character would say things
I thought his voice was really weird too
4:55 Eggman and his family not human since 2008 confirmed lol
Eggman being human isn't the point. Seeing the greater human world is. Seeing a regular, average dude is.
@DolphynsDeck I know what you mean lol. I just always find it funny
Sets should probably keep updating the digital deluxe to have more bonus levels like this maybe even a movie campaign
I have no doubt some of the billboards used in the Tokyo act are assets taken from the Yakuza games, car models as well. That’s really cool, honestly!
Yakuza's known for reusing their assets and I think having them cameo in other games is equal parts funny and neat because they're so high quality. It's smart as well since you can spend more time on the actual gameplay design.
Yeah Same. Kirk Is The Current Game Shadow And May Have Fit Kinda In The CGI Shadow 05 Cutscenes. Keanu Is The Movie Shadow, But Since Both Are In Shadow Gens But One Is Exclusive For DLC Stages, I'm More Fine With That.
I Don't Hate Keanu, But His Voice Doesn't Fit A Game Moment. Like If You're A Spear Glider It's Gonna Be Worse Then Kirk, Cause We Have Heard His Voice For Longer.
Not sure if you heard about Sonic Racing Crossworlds, but I'm curious on what your thoughts are on it. People have pointed out that there's an extreme gear covered up by a cloth. I hope this means Riders will make a return in some way.
I made a community post about it :^)
This is how you do Fanservice
I really hope they let us use theovie look in normal stages soon.
Apparently Movie Shadow is rigged completely differently so it'll take a bit even on the modding side
The line about Tokyo being a beautiful city is giving some Peter Dinklage "That wizard came from the moon" Destiny 1 vibes lmao. They really couldn't have done one more take on that.
Most other line deliveries are okay to good but that stuck out like a sore thumb to me.
while i have my grievances with the performance from keanu in this dlc, another complaint i have that i haven't really seen anyone bring up is that the new stage isn't compatible with the online leaderboards. time trials are still fun as ever but there's no easy way to compare with any other players
Wow, you're right! Never thought of that. That'd bring a lot of purpose to replaying over and over. I did that with Ark Act 1 for HOURS. It's weird how they didn't seem to cover all their bases when implementing this. So many arbitrary limitations
I love everything about this dlc, but one thing confused me. The part where he said "This is like how maria described the earth". like bro you live on earth😭
Gotta agree with this. My only thought is maybe Maria lived in Tokyo?
@DolphynsDeck possibly, but from most sonic media, G.U.N. raided the ark, and G.U.N. seems appears to be based in the U.S meaning the ark would be owned by the U.S. government. Although in the sonic movies G.U.N. is also in UK and it could be the same for the games but idk. I'm probably looking WAY to much into this lol
19:03 . you CAN actually attack the helicopter , you just missed it.
Do people forget Eggman is human...
Literally no one does. Eggman being human isn't the point. Seeing the greater human world is. Seeing a regular, average dude is.
@@DolphynsDeck I know I just joking
Peak content
On Another note, think of how many versions of Shadow we have seen in the past decades that could be DLC for Shadow Generations?
And I am curious if even Sonic Generations in this version is getting the same treatment, too. And multiple alternative endings to each DLC that builds up to a newer ending to both Sonic and Shadow Generations.
I personally wouldn't mind a playable Prime Shadow similar to this DLC. His model and voice work would be fun! Other than that, I'd love to see levels from Shadow 05 as DLC.
He doesn't sound" as good as he does in the movie" is because it was probably just a pay check not to mention bro could be tired all the line reading he's done for the movie that's not out yet
Still tryna get the dlc since i live in the Philippines and use my switch but i just wanted to say something completely unrelated CORY IS BACKKK
Off topic but I like your Santa hat
Its so GOOD
I need Sega to do more of this.
Especially for the next sonic game where if there was a new show/movie coming out they have a style like this for different spin offs. Unfortunately I couldn’t afford this game when it came out but I was able to play it on my steam cloud mobile app.
Also SONIC CROSSWORLDS IS COMING SOON LETS GO!!!!
Prime Shadow would look gorgeous in this game... It'd be on par with Insomniac's Spider-Man skins. Don't even get me started on other spin-offs like Archie...
The music kinda reminds me of westopolis
I believe it's a direct remix
@ thanks
Are you caseoh?
But this just proves that Sega really means “everything Sonic is canon”.
It may not be exactly one timeline, but Tezuka-san said that Super Emeralds are not part of the same timeline” and never dismissed it as “non-canon”. It is Sonic 3 and Knuckles.
Which indicates that Classic Sonic may not be on the same timeline as Modern Sonic like shown in many of his adventures and maybe Classic Sonic is a Mobian of Earth.
Sonic Unleashed is prof that Light and Dark Gaia have been a massive part of Earth’s history.
I kind of hate it, you glaze the movies way too much imo
Funny how the one time I criticized the Movies in a video I had hundreds of comments telling me I complain too much.
i hate how it’s not available in the main game it’s kinda scummy
It shouldn't have been *that* much more effort to put it in the base game ngl.
@@DolphynsDeckActually, turns out Movie shadow has a completely different face structure than base game shadow. Any in level cutscenes (for example the missile scene in space colony ark) completely breaks the model. They’d have to remake every single transitional cutscene to be compatible with this model.
I like Keanu Reeves shadow as me personally although the game voice is a good voice actor they made him sound old man make some sound more like an adventure to where he still slightly dark and bruiting it’s a little more useful showing at times he can be just as if not more cocky then sonic
