Sonic's quality issue has been fixed since the movie. Across all mediums Arlo. After Forces reception they reorganized the whole series and people making it.

If you never finished SA2 You're never going to see Shadow's real character. His edgelord-ness was only a front but after that game, Heroes and even '06, SEGA just forgot that and made him an edgelord again for no reason. He's straight up Vegeta now

Generations is my favorite Sonic game. Incredibly fun and polished if you're worried about that. Hope you enjoy.

Shadow Generations is a whole new game. Everything he is doing is brand new for Generations. It's still following the same gimmick of being about old locations and travelling through past adventures. In Shadow's case its his past adventures instead and because it's both Shadow and being written by Ian Flynn - this is gonna be waaay plot heavier. The wings are all knew but they're tied to his secret space demon origins.

Arlo, since you really enjoy the stories of games and you want get more into Sonic, I think the comic series by IDW is right up your alley! I think it is genuinely good even outside of Sonic media. It's just very good in general so I highly recommend it

This is almost completely unrelated, but you should totally stream yourself beating SA2 for the first time before the new movie comes out. It's probably not necessary, even though it's supposedly taking a ton of influence from SA2, but it could be a fun stream

Massive Shadow fangirl here. I doubt you'll see this, but since you said you didn't know... The collective title may be Sonic X Shadow Generations but they're not a single game. The demo is set up identically to how Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury is set up. You have Sonic Generations as the ported over older game and Shadow Generations as the new smaller game tacked on to it. Shadow Generations doesn't even use the same graphics engine as Sonic Generations. The Sonic campaign uses the original Hedgehog Engine from the 360 era while Shadow Generations uses the Hedgehog Engine 2 from Forces and Frontiers. Shadow's hub world is also similar to the open zone world of Frontiers as opposed to the 2D hub Sonic has. Maybe you already knew the latter parts, haven't finished the video yet but I have just been SO EXCITED FOR THIS ENTIRE YEAR YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!! 😭

"Shadow Generations" is it's own seperate campaign with an open-hub world known as "white space" that you can explore in-between levels akin to Frontiers open-zones. More information on the game's official site

The best part of this remaster is the addition of content that panders to a whole generation that grew up in the "in-between" era AFTER the old folks who were raised on 2D but before the modern "quippy" stuff. Shadow represents a time where Sonic had over-the-top stories and "edge". To me, when I was a kid, that is what used to make the Sonic series, Sonic, and it was cool! Sure there's jank to entries like the Adventure games and Shadow '05 but that's also what makes it fun, idk. I've even been seeing people come out and recognize the potential they saw in Sonic 06 as kids and now we're getting a little bit of that with the Kingdom Valley stage they showed in the trailer.

Butternut Squash? Yes Please!

From everything I have heard from previews, interviews, gameplay footage and trailers it seems this can be equatable to Super mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. The base game has a few tweaks and extras but is basically the same, while the Shadow part is an entire seperate story with an open zone world (like frontiers) and levels that are based on levels that Shadow has starred in past games like Kingdom Valley and Rail Canyon. It looks super good and they are putting a lot of effort into it. I am super excited for this!

I think what would be cool is there's different developers that work on different styles of Sonic. You have one development team that work on the classic Sonic style games. You have another that work on the games like Frontiers. But then you have another team that work on the boost style game play as well. Because all those different gameplay styles are different enough from each other to work. As a person who prefers boost gameplay, it'd be awesome to get more boost games on the same level of Sonic Unleashed, Colors, and Generations.

"Skating around on his hover shoes and going 'Chaos Control!'". Wish granted, Arlo. Chaos Control is a mechanic in his levels that we can activate with a meter. Chaos Spear is in the Biolizard fight and Chaos Snap is also used.

Hearing Arlo talk about Sonic makes me very happy :)

Sonic generations is peak boost formula gameplay and is considered one of the best 3d sonic games. If you’re going to like the boost formula it’s going to be this game that does it for you

It's been fun watching you get into Sonic!

Not only is adding Shadow to a remaster of Generations really cool, but it's great extra incentive in the sense that Generations even by today's standards is a really beautiful game that holds up well! I've been wanting a switch port of Generations or Unleashed for years and the Shadow gameplay looks amazing! I'm just hoping it'll look good on switch but ugh sadly you never know. If not I'm doing PS5

Generations was the first sonic game I played, so even though I am far past my sonic phase I’m still super excited for this

It’ll be interesting to hear what you think of this seeing as you’re looking forward to the 2D stuff. To majority the best part in the selling part of generations is the 3D boost levels. Lol I remember playing the 2D ones to get them out of the way because the most fun stuff is in 3D

2:51 Shadow Generations is a shorter game than Sonic Generations. SG is about like 2 hours long for example. Side note: The game is like Mario 3D World + Bowser’s inside story.

I pronounce it as 2 games: - Sonic X (like the anime of the same name) - Shadow Generations Sonic Generations is not included in this list.

Yes! That Maria part is a great idea. 😜

I had no idea "but" they changed the gameplay a little bit, Sonic n Shadow play smooth af now :O it wasn't just graphical fidelity. Also there's a NEW open zone 3D level select for Shadows story/levels. OG game was 2D level select so already we can platform freely in a open zone level select. Sold. They also added the drop dash for both 2D & 3D levels.

cant say i expected you to talk about this game but i certainly wont be complaining i love gens SOOOO much and the new shadow content looks so good

“Nobody will complain” Ohhh, but we will

Arlo, if you can't be bothered to beat Adventure 2, please at least watch a Long Play. Adventure 2's end game is legendary.

I really hope you'll have a lot of fun with Sonic Generations and warm up to the boost gameplay in that game specifically. It's my favorite game of all-time, so I'll hope it'll be up there with one of your favorite Sonic games at the very least.

The way the game is formatted: it’s Bowser’s Fury for Sonic Generations. Shadow’s campaign is entirely separate from the original game, and will be a shorter game compared to the original Sonic Generations. All his level design is brand-new, but the environments are from older games, and the story supposedly follows up on his own game from 2005 (if you care about that). The hub world level is also super open and sandbox-y like Bowser’s Fury and the islands from Sonic Frontiers, as opposed to Generations’ 2D hub level. Needless to say, I’m very excited for this game!

I will definitely get this. The first Generations game was a banger, I'd go even so far as to call it as close to 'perfect' a Sonic game as a Sonic game can be. I wish it didn't take them over a decade to follow up on but hey, here we are.

"The fact that they took a ridiculous edgy Sonic OC, but made him canon." Unless you're talking about the Terios Skin (Which is one of Shadow's Concept Art Designs from within Sonic Team. So even "Terios" is not an "OC" either.), Shadow is not some fan's OC that Sonic Team decided to "Make Canon". He was ALWAYS CANON. Maybe you're joking (the Sonic IP has always gotta be the butt of jokes), so that's to be expected, but Shadow was designed the way he was because of America's obsession with "Dark Heroes" at the time (So Around 2001. WAIT, SA2 came out in the YEAR OF 9/11?!), according to Takashi Iizuka. And to this day he's still the 2nd Most Popular Sonic Character. Yes, he's "ridiculous edgy" & "great", but not an "OC".

Generations was the last polished and thoughtful sonic game so you’ll enjoy it a lot. It’s the only newer sonic game that can actually stand up to 2 and 3 and mania. The shadow levels look sick too even if they’re slower

Great Stuff, as always!

Sonic Generations' Modern stages were the pinnacle of boost gameplay for a really long time... Because they completely dropped to formula after Generations in 2011 until Sonic Forces in 2017 and it was just not the same. Even Frontiers, while the Cyberspace stages are really good, doesn't match the same energy as Generations

Sonic Generations is the best 3D Sonic since SA2, and it beats out everything that came after it, including Frontiers imo. If the boost style is going to click with you, it will do so with this game.

I fought just to get to this video, KZread gave me three full-length-unskippable ads. As much as KZread tried to shake me off this video, it was worth it to hear your thoughts. I've been very surprised hearing just how many people did not get to play this game from its original release. I originally owned the 3DS version but later in my teens I got the "real" version on Steam and enjoy it to this day.

Shadow is my second favourite Sonic character (behind E102 Gamma from Sonic Adventure 1) and I have soft spot for Shadow the Hedgehog 2005 as I grew up with that game, so I'm sooo down for this! My only complaint is the preorder bonus bullshit where they have like 3 different versions of the game that all have exclusive content which SEGA seems to do with most of their games nowadays...

I'm not saying you need to play Shadow the Hedgehog, but before Sonic X Shadow Generations comes out, you should at least read up on the storyline. You may have seen a black starfish-like creature with a big red eye in some of the trailers, that's the villain from Shadow the Hedgehog and it appears that he'll play a significant role in Shadow's campaign.

I just put my Shadow the Hedgehog disc on top of my Sonic Generations disc and it unlocked all this content. This was years ago

Shadow's portion is made of the Frontiers engine with Ian Flynn, a fellow Shadow fan, writing and the original team behind Generations developing the remaster as well as Shadow's campaign. Basically, a recipe for success. I'm only worried about 2 things: 1) Ian Flynn, because he tends to write in fanfiction style which leads to the dialogue coming off as unnatural for the characters. 2) the remaster since Colors Ultimate was a disaster and Sonic Generations doesn't really look different from the original release.

Sonic Team have always been the good guys

7:17 “I must avenge Mario”

Trust me, boost gameplay is good in generations and it looks good in the new shadow campaign too.

After seeing the title screen from the demo I've just been referring to whatever portion of the game I'm talking about, Sonic Generations or Shadow Generations

Epic, TopicArlo!

I hope they do the thing I wanted them to do when Generations first came out and add more levels as DLC. All the gave us was that pinball stage if you preordered the game and that was it. The game was setup perfectly to keep adding more!

I've seen so much gameplay for the shadow campaign from summer games fest and its actually fantastic. The level design, the control, the boss fights, the art direction, the animation. I can say its probably the best sonic game ever made. Some moments actually give me Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart vibes.

Oh!! Arlo!! You should know: GET THIS GAME ON PC. Since this is running off of the original game engine (the Sonic part at least) you're going to have 10 years of MODS to enjoy. The Unleashed Project, Water Palace, the countless skins available, this game's good legacy is just as much the mod scene as it is the game itself. Trust me on this.

Bro you gotta go back and finish SA2. The lore goes hard

Babe wake up, new topicarlo video dropped

Generations is the best boost-styled Sonic game, and one of the best Sonic games in general. Controls are tight, and the level design is probably the best in any 3D Sonic game. Assuming they don't botch the remaster like what happened with Colors Ultimate, you're in for a treat. There are some issues; both Planet Wisp acts overstay their welcome, and the final boss sucks (though they might address the final boss with this remaster, hopefully), but otherwise it's a good time. Classic Sonic in this is also pretty different from something like Mania or Superstars, but he's still fun in his own right despite that.

The Shadow campaign is honestly the most polished looking Sonic game I’ve ever seen just based off the trailer, it’s nice to see Sega give that much respect to a Sonic game again, a remaster of an old one no less.

-Arlo if you like the Tight platforming of the Cyberspace levels in Frontiers, then you like Sonic Generations - fShadow Generations is its own game in the same way that Bowser's Fury is its own thing from 3D World - so far none of the levels shown in Shadow Generations are from Sonic Generations... & it seems the Shadow section is gonna up the spectacle because The Ark & Radical Highway are one level - the wings themselves are new, but it was stated in Shadow 05 that he has Alien DNA from that Starfish aliien thingy you see in the Trailer

Might be my first Sonic purchase since Mania.

What about the daytime stages in Unleashed?

The thing about the Xs at the end made me smile, it reminded me of Monster Hunter Generations and Generations Ultimate. In Japan, Generations was called Monster Hunter Cross, because as an anniversary title it was crossing over all the generations of games. And Generations Ultimate was called…Double Cross. Thankfully the localizers were on top of those names. XD

It’s crazy how many Sonic games come out while Mario games are usually one main game per generation plus spin-offs and maybe a few 2D games.

Yay he’s back ^^

Honestly I never finished the original Generations, because I just don't like how it feels. It's super important to me in a Sonic game that the speed and handling feel right, Adventure 2 was just perfect for me. And the boost era gameplay just makes me feel like I'm not really in total control. That said, I'd be really happy to see Radical Highway again, it's my overall favorite Sonic level of all time.

the shadow gameplay seems to be all brand new levels and gameplay built off of the sonic Frontiers framework. Shadow Generations is being packaged as like a second game, like how they did Bowser's Fury

Shadow's levels do look quite linear from what I've seen BUT I did spot a ton of, what looked like, alternate pathways and also alternate ways to get through the same pathway (at one point I saw a bit where shadow was on the ground going through enemies in a straight line but I noticed a bunch of platforms high up, they didn't look like they were going anywhere so I'm assuming if you can get up top its just a quicker way of getting through that one room). A bunch of people have said the levels aren't short at all and I've also heard that there are alternate pathways depending on how you deal with obstacles (whether or not you used chaos control). So from what I've directly seen it doesn't look too exciting but from what I can infer based off what I've seen and what I've heard the level design seems to be genuinely great.

Oh and what I've said here doesn't apply to the other aspects of the game, the rest of it looks genuinely incredible. Can't wait to hear the new rendition of supporting me personally.
