Sonic Generations!

2 Different generations 2 different gameplay mechanics.

Sonic is game franchise that as pretty much has just declined over the years countless attempts to reboot the franchise have fallen flat with games such as sonic unleashed and Sonic colors for the wii getting mediocre review scores.

Sega is yet again trying to reboot Sonic with Sonic Generations, the main hook to the game is being able to play the old school style of sonic with super fast side scrolling gameplay but also the added function of being able to play as the modern Sonic with levels in 3D much like the Sonic Adventurer games. The concept sounds good but will Sega be able to pull of a great Sonic game, something that they have been able to achieve for years. Mega64 don't think so and have made a video about it so don't get your hopes up to high.

     

If your interested to see what the game may look like have a look at the trailer below you might be pleasantly surprised or maybe not seeing as it looks like every other sonic trailer, although the games is looking very nice and there is a good choice of music for the trailer. 

 

What is your favorite sonic game and what do you think of the new game trailer, leave your comments below.

  1. I think its more about the gameplay really, the new games have more of a story but they often don't have the high speed gameplay that was in the other games and one thing they always seen to get wrong is the camera in the 3D games.

    Btw Sonic Adventure 2 is my favorite to well out of the 3D ones that is, I also really like Sonic Rush on the Ds well worth a try.

  2. Modern sonic is too fast.
    people played sonic beacuase they had the option to roam around the levels searching for emeralds, bonuses stages, items etc...

    Inotherwords, speed and platforming were important.
    Nout just speed.
    For the modern stages in generations and unleashed I felt like all I had to do was jump and press foward on my thumstick.
    How is this fun when I cant explore?
    To explore in a fast timely mannor with proper viweing camera angles is a must if sega wants to succeed in 3d.
    2d gameplay ala genesis is perfect.at least they nailed that one alright.
