The funny thing too is that Generations Rouge was already the compromise character design, smaller breasts and less curvy than SA2 Rouge. But Generations Rouge was still well modeled, they could have just left her design alone but Sega/Sonic Team choose to make the model worse anyway.

They've been afraid to commit to a fully 3D Sonic game since fucking Sonic Adventure. Basically every single modern Sonic game has some sort of gimmick or bullshit to pad the game out. It's a mix of them knowing they're not capable of developing a full game focused just on 3D Sonic, and also that people will complain if their Sonic game isn't 20 hours long.
>>
>>692532620
Autists probably won't use his powers as much. After everything's said and done, the main point is to complete stages as fast as possible. None of Shadow's other abilities are particularly conducive to cutting your time.

I definitely don't approve of the changes to Rouge, but isn't it just basically the old Generations model edited a bit? I'm sure replacing it with the old one is pretty straightforward.

As far as I'm aware, the ancient aliens didn't really have complete mastery over them. Like they didn't really fully understand what they could do. They only knew how to use the Chaos Emeralds as batteries to power their machines.

Sonic's ability to use them the way he does is unprecedented. Even Sage is all like "How the fuck are you able to use those things so well?"

>>692537160
They never came from Angel Island. That was always something people just sort of assumed. The Ancient Echidna tribe coveted the Chaos Emeralds and built alters for them, but they're not indigenous to Angel Island. Hell, even the Master Emerald doesn't actually come from Angel Island. The Echidnas just built an alter for it there. Angel Island didn't always float, that happened later via Echidna tech or whatever.

It's even established in Sonic Unleashed that the Echidnas weren't the first ones to build altars for the emeralds. There are altars all over the world that exist to rejuvenate them and harness their power. That said, the fact that Light Gaia explicitly has shrines that allow him to use the emeralds' power does seem to clash with the idea of them originally being from space, since Light Gaia is a primordial Earth god.

"From Space" isn't a origin. The ancients didn't invent them, for all we know, they found them on Earth, took them, had them for so fucking long they forget where they found them before the Master Emerald called them back to Earth.

Where did you guys get this detail? I'm sure you're right, but I'm only really aware of Sonic lore up to Sonic Adventure (I played SA2 but don't remember it much.) As far as I recall, as of that game they were all assumed to come from Angel Island. Could easily be wrong though, it's been ages since I paid attention.

I ask as later retcons are my whole issue; seems like they keep making their nature unnecessarily more complicated by trying to "explain" them.

>>692537831
The echednia's held the Master Emerald since their time so the fact that they built it on Angel Island is the closest thing to an origin it has. Frontiers explicitly says the Ancients had the Chaos Emerald but when they passed by Earth, they resonated with the Master Emerald and came down dragging the ancients with them. That's basically it for Emerald lore beyond Unleashed. The Emeralds have no major lore because explaining it adds nothing and robs them of all mystique. My head canon is that when the universe formed and settled, the chaos energy settled and merged into the Emeralds.

But I mean, that's just adding a bunch of headcanon. I guess what I'm saying is, now as far as we know, they were brought to Earth by aliens. Yeah, I get what you're saying that we still don't know how they were originally created so there's still room for a mystical origin, it just seems like a weird, unnecessary wrinkle to add that they were brought here from space.
>>
>>692537674
I don't get why the mystic rocks can't come from Earth. It's not like magic doesn't exist in Sonic because you literally get hints from a flying magic orb in Adventure.

>>692538552
He's saying that adding the "they were taken by aliens and carried around for eons then brought back" bit -- which is what you're proposing and is currently unsupported -- is just silly. Again, assuming that's even what happened.

It would be nice if they had just, y'know, left their origin alone.

Something I always found kinda funny about the Master Emerald is that despite its apparent importance, it's largely irrelevant most of the time. The Chaos Emeralds tend to be fairly important in most games, but the Master Emerald just isn't. Especially so since Sonic has almost no connection to it despite his intrinsic connection to the Chas Emeralds.

>>692539509
>Especially so since Sonic has almost no connection to it despite his intrinsic connection to the Chas Emeralds.
That's because Knuckle's is the one with the connection. Sonic X even says the Master Emerald's power output is shit unless Knuckle's actively prays to it.

As for why it gets ignored, it invalidates all schemes with the Emerald's because logically they would just give Knuckle's a solar powered phone and text him to shut the Emerald's down when needed. Thus why the movies just made it the Chaos Emeralds combined to avoid asking that question.

>>692539509
The ME has been the largest elephant in the room of the franchise since its introduction that Sega just got used to ignoring it. They could definitely put a lot of use to it.
As far as we know, just the ME alone is strong enough to give a Super form as evidenced with Mecha Sonic in Sonic 3. But in SA2 it's used as a conduit to give Sonic and Shadow their Super forms, so it was already fucked on what it can do for a long whild. And then there's the Super Emeralds...

I signed up for the newsletter to get the Soap shoes for Frontiers, but I never ended up buying the game. I wonder if it's not too late to redeem it.
>>
>>692539796
Super Emeralds are irrelevant. The problem with them is that getting them is an annoyance and it requires both extra plot nonsense AND extra gameplay nonsense.

Like in order to obtain the Super Emeralds, you need to first collect the Chaos Emeralds and then place those emeralds on the altars on Angel Island. So already, if a game doesn't take place on Angel Island, the Super Emeralds would just become this weird annoying detour that Sonic has to take. Gameplay-wise, it also means that you'd need to play fourteen special stages in order to achieve a form that's ultimately not even all that special. Hyper Sonic is just Super Sonic with a kill screen button, that's it.
>>
>>692539796
>And then there's the Super Emeralds...
Iizuka said they were just a bonus for connecting 3&K and they deleted them entirely when Adventure finally locked down there was only 7 Chaos Emeralds and what shape and color they were after the Genesis games changed their colours and shapes with the manuals implying every island has their own Emeralds. You think Ian wouldn't have had someone mention the Super Emeralds by now if he could.

>>
>>692539509
It's usefulness is ironically why it's useless. As Knuckles says it can nullify the power of the Chaos Emeralds so it's just a big useless rock until someone needs the Chaos Emeralds to be tard wrangled.
>>
>>692540472

>>
>>692540547

Don't think so, Sonic Generations and Shadow Generations run on different engines
>>
>>692540509
That and Knuckles can't exactly take the ME with him to go put out some Chaos Emerald related fire
>>
>>692535273
Why her skin is black
>>
>>692540415
Nah, the Triforce still has more relevance if only because Ganondorf always wants it. The Master Emerald is sort of a plot tumor that the writers have just kinda gotten sick of it.

>>692540509
I mean it's useful, but it's also incredibly out of the way. I feel like most writers aren't terribly keen on bringing it out to the forefront because, I mean fuck, not all games even feature Knuckles, much less Angel Island. The Master Emerald is just incredibly inconvenient in every single way possible. Every time you want to use it, you have to take a detour to Angel Island for one reason or another. Bear in mind that in Sonic Adventure 2, literally the only reason it and Knuckles are brought into the picture at all is because, in spite of it being largely irrelevant to what was going on in that game, Eggman simply couldn't help himself and took a quick detour to try and get his hands on it again. And in order to bring the Master Emerald into a game, that's the sort of thing that would have to happen every fucking time. Because it's not like Sonic's gonna go to Angel Island unless he had a specific reason to.
>>
>>692539960
>>692540024
I just think it's funny that canonically Eggman's robot in 3 is the strongest threat in the series.
>>
>>692540621
>>692540625
Thats no excuse. Modders already made it possible.
>>
>>692540625

Someone should mod the new model into the base game by Halloween.
>>
>>692540709
In what possible sense is that true
>>
>>692540709
I think it's sort of the toughest, but not the strongest. I'd say that the Final Weapon is one of the most durable final bosses, but none of its attacks can actually hurt Super Sonic. Both Dark Gaia and The End actually COULD hurt Super Sonic, although both were also less durable.
>>
>>692540709
Metal Sonic is consistently upgraded to be just a bit weaker then Sonic or Shadow. He's a jobber but Metal stomp any Genesis era bot by the time he got Neo-Metal in Heroes.

That's just a texture/animation swap. It's not like you can use Chaos Control or Chaos Spear in Sonic Generations.
>>
>>692540709
I think (Not counting jobbing to Shitdow) it's still Metal Overlord because it took three guys hitting it at once to even hurt him.
>>
>>692541067
Eh. Still couldn't actually hurt them.
>>
>>692540709
>>692541067
I'm pretty sure Omega is explicitly the strongest Eggman robot. He even whoops the shit outta Shadow in a certain timeline.
>>
>>692540472
>Nerfed Metal Overlord
He wasn't nerfed. Shadow literally just got stronger. It's the same situation with Perfect Chaos vs current Sonic. Dude even canceled out the effects of Chaos Control. He still had proper knowledge on the Sonic Heroes BUT his knowledge on Shadow's powers was outdated which is why he lost. Even fucking Mephiles got curbstomped by Shadow. You have to realize now...Jobbing to the Ultimate Life form is an honor.
>>
>>692540789
Only boss to require Hyper Sonic which is so far the strongest form in the series.
>>692540826
We still don't know what prompted Eggman to make Neo by the way. And Metal just never uses it again.
>>692541067
While I would agree, it's more like Sonic sharing his power compared to Solaris where all three hogs tapped into Super. No idea why it was different that time, but who knows...

It has little to do with power level than it does just recreating boss fights. They are simply memeberberries, not a sign of power level increases.
>>
Power level spics are so annoyingly autistic
>>
>>692541192
He was nerfed in the sense that things getting thrown at him didn't use to hurt him, only team attacks made a dent.

>>692541332
Eggman didn't make neo, metal did it to himself with his own hands as he says in the boss battle itself.
>>
>>692541332
>We still don't know what prompted Eggman to make Neo by the way. And Metal just never uses it again.
He upgraded Metal and that involved adding more bits to it. He stays basic Metal in games for member berries but IDW and mobile games use Neo.

Does Black Doom get to frag the planet with nerve gas again?
>>
>>692541332
>it's more like Sonic sharing his power compared to Solaris where all three hogs tapped into Super
Sonic also shared his power in 06, they just turned super with it
Knuckles and Tails also went super, but Iizuka decided to ditch their glow colors from 3 and add gay bubbles
>>
Honestly I think it was not only Shadow getting Stronger but also that Metal Sonic was underestimating the fuck out of him and didn't realize until it was too late.

DOOM powers are cool and I hope they give them back alter saying Shadow purified Doom's influence and can use them freely now.

Hyper Sonic is the equivalent of Super Vegeta in DBZ.

Super Sonic 2 is a brief limit break. He'll surpass it in base form eventually.

also i hate amy's forced tarot card gimmick nobody gives a fuck about

stuck in the boost era for 16 years

Cute, you can disable Drop Dash for Classic Sonic if you really wanted to. Not for Modern Sonic, though, for some reason. They had the capability to do more with this system and remaster, they simply didn't think to.
Also you can easily access the statue room with a button press now and I think it gives you all the statues from the get-go.

>Wtf happened to Sonic Team starting with Forces?
Anon, most of the devs got reassigned to elsewhere in the company or left. Starting with Lost World, most of Sonic Team was composed of new hires, and then those new hires became the lead designers that directed even more new hires. Fundamentally, besides folks like composers, directors and producers plus some veteran staff here or there lingering around, Sonic Team post-Generations is not even remotely the same as the Sonic Team pre-Lost World.

Runs great. For Shadow gens I had to lower it from the default settings to hit a locked 60 though. Other than that, it runs great. Switch is locked to 30 of course. Having played the Switch version over the weekend and now playing it on Deck, the difference is night and day. You really want higher frame rates for this kinda game if you have the option.

Sucks to be Shadow. He couldn't save Maria a second time and Rouge's tits got nerfed yet again.

>>692520878
Maybe I'm in my honeymoon phase rn but it genuinely does feel like the best boost sonic game. There was too much kino for me to process. The writing and story was fun, and this was the best level and environmental design as seen since... generations.

I do feel like some of the writing changes in base gens was a bit unnecessary. I liked liked some stuff like the time stone reference and tails recognizing green hill, but there were also some dialog changes that didn't add anything and made some of the body language even more awkward and weird, like classic sonic unintentionally implying that he ate angel island.

Shadow gens on the other hand had really good writing and story beats all around , nothing ground breaking but def more of what I wanted from the sonic series; for the franchise to take itself somewhat seriously. I've always been a huge fan of Ian Flynn's writing and direction for the series. The ending where Shadow had to say his final goodbye to Maria and Gerald is a pretty good tear-jerker. and the entire boss fight with black doom was nothing short of epic......

I want more of this stuff. I pirated the game 4 days in advance, beat it, and bought it on steam. mainly because the switch version sucks, but I also want to vote with my wallet here. the game is gas.

>>692554053
agree it really is good. If anything my opinion of og gens has gone down a bit, now that I'm revisiting it. It's still great fun but classic sonic is really off and modern sonic is way more slippery/janky than I remember him being. The cutscenes have not aged well, rewrites or not

shadow gens on the other hand, feels like it was made for 2000's nostalgiafags like me. Actual cutscenes, a hub world that improves on frontiers' open zone concept, and really fun levels. I was worried the new levels would pale in comparison to the old ones, but I kinda like them better. Boss fights are a huge step up from the clunky bullshit in gens.

Modern Sonic's slipperiness and jank isn't really a factor once you submit yourself to the speedrun meme and realize that Sonic isn't actually supposed to care about precision. Because the entirety of Modern Sonic's purpose in boost games is to always keep moving forward. This is why most of his abilities are designed to let you immediately snap to a given direction. The stomp, the air boost, the quick-step, these are all tools you're given so that you don't actually have to maneuver Sonic all that much manually. You're actually not all that reliant on the joystick at all.

Whoever the current Shadow actor is is terrible. Every other one has been great but he doesn't even feel like the same character as he was in SA2 which this game tries to hard to connect to and revere. He sounds like a guy at a bar trying to make a joke about Vegeta

I think boost just replicated the process of what Super Sonic in adventure could do when inside Perfect chaos and that's just Perfect Chaos's hidden weakness. Beating him in the same way doesn't mean powerscaling autism.
Though this is just speculation.
Shadow's Doom powers and Sonic's generations feats are probably going to be explained down the line as some chaos mumbo jumbo enhanced stuff to explain the "le base form vs emerald amped characters" shit. Or that Time eater could only bring back a fragment everyone's power that you face off in the game.

Probably the same reason he doesn't react to Chaos Island, like how the plot sorta "stops" in Generations after the first era besides an occasional scene or so: the devs just threw shit in there to have a level list.

>>692557069
>>692557148

Yeah, because Doom is the source of how Shadow got his and he's thousands of years old at least. Of course he can do that. Also, you forgot to mention using Chaos Control for time travel, which Gerald ends up bringing up if you talk to him in the hub world later.

I think you're right. You could in the original. This is really weird, when I try to remap the controls in the game's settings, it treats the dpad and analog stick as the same, but the dpad still doesn't do anything in game outside of menus. Even then, that wouldn't be acceptable since the game won't let you have multiple buttons bound to the same action, so mapping movement to the dpad would disable the analog stick entirely. If you're on PC, you can map your dpad to the analog stick with Steam Input I guess.

"Santiago" is the term used for the cutesy ball of fluff "Sonic" SEGA has been pushing as the "Classic" version of the character since 2011 as opposed to the cool hero with an attitude he was in the 90s. Besides the glaring personality traits his most distinguishing feature is his DISGUSTINGLY bright blue quills which Sonic was never seen with until Generations.

I switched the controls to legacy, maybe it's that
>>
>>692559187
As the original one asking I've been playing on Legacy and that doesn't affect anything with the d-pad.

Modern Seaside Hill is such a good level it's actually fucking obnoxious.

>>692559150
>attitude
Most of Sonic's classic era art is of him in cutesy, bubbly images.
>>
>>692559187
As the one you're replying to, legacy doesn't affect the dpad for me either. What platform are you on? I'm on PC.
>>
Cool stuff.

It and Speed Highway Act 2 are my favorite Modern Sonic levels.

Reasonable change

Based taste

so in a way are the 2d shadow stages kinda the closest we'll get to a new sonic rush game?
>>
>>692559391
on switch, dpad can be used for movement and tricks in gens. (not in shadow)

I like Chemical Plant Act 2 as well.

>Green Hill Act 2: It's okay. Good introductory stage. Does its job. Nothing special.
>Chemical Plant Act 2: Does a great job of modernizing Chemical Plant, and also does an excellent job of introducing alternative pathways to the player.
>Sky Sanctuary Act 2: Pretty good. I kinda feel like much of its charm simply comes from it being a 3D rendition of Sky Sanctuary.
>Speed Highway Act 2: One of the best stages. Can't go wrong with this shit.
>City Escape Act 2: ...I mean, it's basically just City Escape. It's just City Escape with Boost. It's basic as hell witch is kinda dumb because this is the midway point. Very little complexity, not that interesting. Boarding down the steep inclining streets again is kinda cool, but it's still not that interesting.
>Seaside Hill Act 2: The other best stage. Fusing it with Ocean Palace was an excellent choice.
>Crisis City Act 2: "It's okay I guess. I don't really like that parts where you have to stomp a bunch of times on the lava platforms. They don't really add anything to the game, they just exist to slow you down in a really boring way.
>Rooftop Run Act 2: It's just Rooftop Run again. I mean Rooftop Run in Unleashed was really great, but. This is literally just fucking Rooftop Run again.
>Planet Wisp Act 2: It's shit. Worst stage. Worst final level. I hate it.

Overall, I don't think it was really possible for Sonic Generations to end on a high note because it was destined to end with Colors. But aside from that, I think the other weak point of the game was City Escape.
>>
It was really enjoyable shadow felt really good to control like a refinement on the foundation frontiers set. The story was fun and it's nice to see Shadow being a character again and not just Vegeta the Hedgehog Kirk Thornton definitely felt way more natural as the character than he had before probably because he finally got some worthwhile material to work with and the boss fights were all really cool

Did you only lose some of your rings when you got hit in the original, or did you lose all of them? This game keeps fucking mandella-ing me
>>
>>692560254
Also were the timers for the side missions always this lenient?
>>
>>692560067
Shadow even smiles twice. Once when seeing Big the Cat. The other when talking to Maria.
>>
>Get to the blushing line
>It's just because Maria said his spines are cool
>>
>>692560458
Of all the characters negatively impacted by the meta era i honestly think shadow got it the worst so seing actual improvement is genuinely satisfying and makes me hopeful for a future where sonic can be allowed to take itself seriously while still having fun
>>
>>692529762
Based. No more. Absolutely overreact and don't stop until this shit does completely.
>>
>>692529762
None of your arguments are valid

>>692529762
You and I are the same in the way that we have our own styles and we won't change.

>Ian hasn't slipped any mention of them into his work.
motherfucker wanted to put hyper sonic in frontiers
he would totally do that if they let him
>>
>>692521316
That's the point. They're rivals for sport, not out for each other's blood. Dante and Vergil for kids
>>
Ok how the fuck am I supposed to go to some of those paths where they expect me to launch straight up from one of the stupid squid swingshot targets
>>
>>692561851
Let go of the jump button at the BOTTOM of your swing. Yes, it's retarded. In any other game you'd just fall down. No, the game never explains it.
>>
>>692561896
Holy fuck that's retarded. They learned fucking nothing from the Frontiers DLC
