I was watching TerminalMontage’s video on Something About Shadow The Hedgehog video, and oh boy he did highlight each villains that Shadow has faced and most of them appear in Shadow Generation.
@@shaulov10 I know I say this a lot, but I have good reason for why. It is just a lot of interest lore that sega doesn't really use. Plus, Ifrit is connected to Gerald, and it would be neat to learn more about the stuff he studied and made. I would love to see an Ifrit boss and nega Mother Wisp bosses in Sonic x Shadow generations. Both are connected to lore that sega refuses to use. Ifrit (sonic rivals 2) can destroy an intirer dimension bathing it in fire (the game comfirms its whole universe, not just a planet). Sonic and Shadow only defeat a heavily weakened ifrit as it isn't fully revived yet (it did eat a bunch of chao and become invincible, though. Plus, he has mind control powers and is just as sentient as chaos even though it wasn't at full power). But they still beat it in base, which is still incredibly impressive. I bring him up because Gerald has notes on ifrit implying Gerald Robotnik somehow got into the dimension that chaosic inferno takes place in. Plus, ifrit seems connected to the chao somehow, and Gerald knows of him, so i hope he is at least in the journal. As for the nega mother wisp, I loved her boss fight. She is a part of the wisps lore (yes, the wisps have lore actually lore, such as the mother wisp creating the wisps and the planets that eggman captured, the ds version of colors going into detail on how negative wisps are made and how it affects their minds, actually giving each wisps their own personalities like Lazer trying to fight the robots and void straight up destroying shit and causing chaos. The mother wisp is kind and motherly but can have a temper. eggman is lucky he got caught in the black hole before she got free. Plus, the wisps actually flow with level design in colors wii and ds. Similar to how the doom powers seem to. Unlike in the lost world or forces. The ds has a better story than the wii version. It has interesting lore, the wisps are fun and the stages are fun. Not to mention, multiple characters have sonic do missions to help free wisps or extra information on what is going on. I have both versions. The wisps are neat and do have lore. I wish sega would actually utilize their lore more). Ifrit and the mother wisp are very interesting and think you should cover them. Plus, the fact that Sonic and Shadow, among other characters, defeated Ifrit in base shows how powerful they are. Also, I think marine the raccoon should return due to her unexplained power, and the complaints about her are already addressed in her character arc and development from sonic rush adventure. Also, phantom king creates the egg revery, which is infinite in space-time, and space and time (yes, there is a difference) in Sonic Mania, and that's just classic super sonic. Also, Chaos drives, artificial chaos, the ark, and G.U.N. are all interesting. I wish sega would use them more, too. Oh, and Emerl and Gemerl should be explored a bit again. Sonic rush, rush adventure, rivals 2, the advance games, sonic battle, and Sonic colors ds deserve more attention. Oh, and sega sonic the hedgehog arcade is awesome. oh, and Sage definitely should return as she is a neat character with cool lore. And the dark arms and black doom are neat lore wise. Note mention sega not using the wisps personalities and sometimes going against said personalities (Viod and probably Lazer likely wouldn't like being shoved in wispons. Not to mention, void usually doesn't trust random people unless they are people they think are safe, which isn't going to be random people. Meaning it is a miracle the resistance weren't losing people to angry viod wisps. Oh, and the jewel Scepter was cool. There is a lot of lore they should bring back. Sonic colors ds should definitely count. It has so much lore (like the mother wisp, her having created the wisps and planets. And how becoming a nega wisp affects a wisp's mind) that fixes the issues with the mainline wisps' issues on top of giving the wisps their own unique personalities. The ds game has so much stuff that sega should have utilized in the lost world and forces that they didn’t. Having Rush, Rush adventure, sonic colors, and Rivals 2 stuff would be amazing. Plus, the mother wisp seems immortal. And the nega mother wisp was cool.
1:48 I have a theory that could explain why radical highway is the only location in the game to look warped and glitched. What if instead of being transported to radical highway, black doom is actually transporting shadow to cyberspace and its taking the form of radical highway because it takes the form of the person entering its memories? Shadow could possibly even arrive on chaos island through one of the cyberspace portals after completing radical highway
My friend SF productions had somewhat of a similar theory where basically every level has a moment where black doom takes you to this upside down version of radical highway and that radical highway isn’t a full stage but many small stages
@@shaulov10 I find it very unlikely its _JUST_ a series of many small stages because of just HOW MANY variants there are. There's so many variants of it and they don't all look like very short linear segments. I think there's at least one full city stage, but I don't know if its Radical Highway. It might be named after Shadow the Hedgehog instead to be the "Shadow the Hedgehog" stage. Also, not all of the city stages are distorted like that. Many are, but there are some that aren't distorted. The non-distorted version is probably the actual stage.
@@shaulov10 They're probably gonna pump out a lot of content in 2025 too because of the huge success of this game, and it isn't even out yet lol. This is probably gonna be the best Sonic game in the past 20 years. It seems whoever Sonic team hired recently is fucking COOKING.
I like what you said about Shadow finally getting closure for Maria’s death with this game. For the longest time I had no clue what direction they could take Shadow’s character in, and after seeing what they’ve managed to do with this game & Dark Beginnings story-wise, I’m extremely excited to see what else will be in store for Shadow’s future moving forward after this game!
Yeah same. For a bit I was unsure what they were gonna Do with him, and also I’ve been thinking, what if they do that one shot from Archie at the end where Maria fades away. That would hit different
Honestly, i feel like that golden age was back in the 2000's but i will say this...we just might be entering another one. Cause you are right about one thing, all of this is so fucking good and this new tone and direction the franchise is taking is better than anything we have gotten since the adventure games imo.
I think the radical highway things are for the challenge gates like what was in base generations. There were even some gates you could see in the background of the white space in one trailer
they were insiders saying the story would be rewritten in sonic generations, can you imagine if there like a final campaign like heroes or superstars that unlocks after beating both time eater in sonic gens and Black doom in Shadow gens
@@shaulov10 i always heard a person can dream, and also if they are kinda remaking the cutscenes in sonic generations, insiders saying there is a story rewrite is not impossible, but if they did the thing that would change will be mostly the dialogue and not the story itself
Ok so you're telling me we got: - Space Colony Ark act 1 and 2 - Radical Highway act 1 and 2 - Rail Canyon act 1 and 2 - Sunset Heights act 1 and 2 - Chaos Island act 1 and 2 - Shibuya or Tokyo act 1 and potentially an act 2 maybe???? - Biolizard boss fight - Metal Overlord boss fight - Mephiles boss fight - Sonic rival fight - Black Doom final boss That's 10-12 levels, 5 boss battles + the White Space that's extremely similar to the open zone in Sonic Frontiers with open platforming and collectibles. Also those challenge missions that you do in OG Generations is also confirmed as it was seen in the White Space so we might get plenty of those. Each level and boss will go for about 2 minutes (at the minimum) to 6 minutes maximum. This game looks FIRE and there's just no way this game is shorter than generations just thinking about all of that. 😂
@@ffarquharlinesproductions4106 I think those might be either level transitions that's similar to Space Colony Ark or those are part of those challenge missions in the White Space that I mentioned.
@@ffarquharlinesproductions4106 It could be Radical Highway and Westopolis, as well as stage transitions. I doubt all these Radical Highway levels are separate stages, but the idea that they're ONLY stage transitions also doesn't make any sense either.
Yesterday was honestly so huge We got: Madness combat 12 (I know it don't relate to sonic but i care about it so) Sonic Central 2024 The 2 sxs gens trailers Reveal of movie shadow in sxs gens Shadow in dream team And so much more The year of shadow is the best "sonic" styled year
So each era usually gets 2 stages and 2 bosses so heres what we have so far Adventure era Ark/Radical highway Rival Battle:Sonic Boss:Biolizard Dark era: Bullet station Kingdom Valley/Dusty desert Rival Battle:Mephiles Boss:Metal Overlord Modern Era: Sunset Heights Chaos Island Rival Battle:? Boss:? Final boss: Eldritch Black Doom
The Shadow vs Sonic fight, honestly I think it may get some changes cuz unless they fix drift, the Shadow vs Sonic fight is gonna be dreadful cuz with the awful drift tho. I hope for the Sonic fight, it’s a teaser for Frontier 2 combat n we first get a race but at the end, it’s an arena fight n we get to throw hands at Sonic (Plus maybe use Doom’s powers too)
So, if i buy the physical edition, i wont be able to get the shadow tokyo dlc? Or do you think theyll be a purchasable addon in the store? Because they said that dlc will only be avaliable for the digital deluxe. Which would suck bc i really want a physical copy. 😢
Shadow SA2 Heroes Shadow 05 Sonic 06 Sonic Forces Sonic Frontiers Mephiles Metal Overlord Biolizard Black Doom And even the Time Eater, Sonic, Maria, Gerald, Emerl and the GUN Commander Now I just need Infinite and this will TRULY be the ultimate experience of the true Ultimate Life Form, remembering his whole story from bit to bit, every major villain he faced, every enemy he encountered, my 2 biggest wishes for this game are Mephiles and Infinite, and MEPHILES IS RIGHT HERE! I want to see Shadow throwing hands with these 2 again!!!!
Shadow has been powerful for over the years since 200124 years or is it 23 years yeah it was 23 years ago since 2001 shadow Wood Lane hedgehog has been power for some sonic adventure two he got Strong if shadow was a Star Wars character he will definitely fall to the Darkside, and be a safe Lord that’s right at safe Lord don’t you agree
Im a complete loser and I read all the Archie comics and this 5:25 is exactly like the issue that keep in MIND Ian Flynn wrote back in his time at Archie! but I digress the story is shadow wanting to know his past finds a cryptic disk label ARC he plays it in one of Eggman`s holo lab but much like cyberspace in frontiers this not just a simulation its actually Maria soul and consciousness replicated on the disk he gets to finally meet her because in the Archie comics shadow was send to earth before her death with just his programming and objective of HONOR MARIA not know who she is until now repress memories flow in of his brief time with her not knowing her death until he is now forced to let go of her even though he just now got to know her with the cyberspace like world falling apart an Maria fading off the pages. This being said I don't think that this a coincidence that SXS GEN is adapting shadows most impactful story in Archie.
