It actually is called Shadow Generations, the Shadow portion. In the demo theres two title screens you can switch between like Bowser's Fury and typical Gens is called Sonic Generations while Shadow's campaign is called Shadow Generations.

If I can be serious for a second, the fact we’re living in a timeline where they bringing back Sonic O6 and actually acknowledging it is insane to me. Both in merch and official media. It really feels like SEGA has incredible confidence in the brand now compared to where we were akin to Colors and Lost World. And if they bring back Mephilis, even just this one time, it will show to me they have learned from their mistakes and like with tails in Frontiers talking about Infinites attack, they are basically saying “yeah. This happened. We screwed up, but we’re proud of this franchise for all its ups and downs, and for you for sticking with us every step of the way.” Also side note, we better be able to unlock chaos blast or something. Then we eating a GOATed dish.

A bit annoying people keep talking about Sega acknowledging S06, when they NEVER stopped doing it. The game they're literally remastering (the original of which came out 5 whole years after S06) right here had them develop Crisis City as one of the main levels *and* with a boss fight taken out of it too. In the franchise in general there's been constant references to S06, including in Unleashed and TSR. Isn't the later Rival duology also a branched continuation from S06 or something of that sort of thing? You got these cartoons and movies and animated shorts taking character animations right out of S06 and into them. Mad representation in SF:SB too right? The list just goes on. I'd also say it's not even a notable deal here because (1. OG Generations, again, already did it and 2...) this game is exploring Shadow's past, across the previous games he's been featured in. Stopping at S05 doesn't make any sense if they were willing to go THAT far in the first place. SA2 -> Heroes (another obvious one) -> S05 and then stop? When the story arc continued into S06? Makes no sense. Going as far as S05, just short of S06 makes no sense in the slightest, for several reasons. What would ACTUALLY be surprising is representation from a non-platformer like Sonic Battle.

It is called Shadow Generations. Sonic X Shadow Generations is just the name of the total collection of both Sonic Gens and Shadow Gens

Being able to use chaos control has always been a dream. Being able to slow down time like shadow did against sonic in adventure 2 is gonna be so sick. THEY ARE FINALLY DOING SHADOW THE JUSTICE HE DESERVES

I love how biolizard got the perfect chaos treatment. It was given major changes to the design but kept the original feeling of the design intact!

Surprised Sam didn't mentioned Biolizard's gills on his sides creeping him out XD

The fact that they're giving Shadow his own story, Frontiers-Style gameplay and a Hub World in Generations is already a massive improvement over Shadow's DLC in Forces, which only had 3 stages. I really can't wait to play it.😀👍

Sonic Generations better than Shadow Frontiers.

Taking Frontiers level design and mixing it with the Boost formula to give a psuedo Adventure styled game is how I feel about Shadow Generations. No need to reinvent the wheel, just make the wheel better.

This game is beyond a fan game lol its so good

I can’t believe Sega fully acknowledges the existence of 06 more than ever now and isn’t afraid to pull from it. It’s significant to me because in spite of its controversy alongside other titles in the early/mid 2000s, there has always been so much overlooked potential from those games waiting to be revisited and utilized.

@TheFainter94

Ай бұрын

to be honest 06 is the game they can give love for what is good and change what is bad without affecting what makes it good, after all the entire story of 06 erases it self by the end, so they can retcon a lot of stuff on it by saying is part of the "same story but with diferences"

I think the title Sonic x Shadow Generations is supposed to insinuate a fusion of two seperate titles Sonic Generations and Shadow Generations. It's a Sonic Generations remaster, but the main selling point of the collection is Shadow Generations.

Yeah, my Shadow in power is back! But I'm hoping the writing lives up to the gameplay and representation of who Shadow is. If they do for Shadow, what they did for Sonic in Frontiers, that would amazing. Seeing the old Shad with compassion and care for friends again, would be nice. Also, O6 is acknowledged!

Sonic X Shadow Generations makes sense since it's mainly Sonic content. Shadow Generations would make more sense if it were just Shadow's game, but it isn't. Shadow x Sonic generations kinda works, but not sure since the game is moreso Sonic's and he should therefore appear 1st in the title. This is my opinion, though. What I believe to make the most sense as to why/how they named the game as they did.

Im glad we're getting some fun shadow gameplay, I hope we get more shadow gameplay

( 2:31 ) pretty sure this is just an "in-engine" shot of the game rather than it being "unfinished" or a screenshot from early development. similar to the overworld camera pans on the japanese sonic frontiers website. a new screenshot from the open zone shows rings on a grind rail leading to a spring, so it could also be distance culling keeping the rings and other objects out of sight.

The biolizard fight was extremely epic bringing memories from SA2

Can wait for the Review Man, I always wanted to see a Generations review by you! I'm sure it's gonna be hillarius

IM SO EXCITED TO PLAY THIS

If this game succeeds it very much so gives me hope for the future of Sonic, not only that this is the first boost game in years other then Frontiers that I don't mind being a boost title, especially since they for the first time in years finally found an amazing inbetween in the level design between a boost level, and a Adventure stage

Having mini hubworlds with Act doors and mini-missions scattered through would be the perfect way to make the length feel worth it. Acts are short by design, but the side quests can give some much needed variance.

Even when you use chaos control to stop time it also stops the timer so which means first act is a lit long then 5 or 6 mins maybe by a few seconds or minutes

I swear I want this game so bad Sam your not the only one I’m a big shadow fangirl shadow is so badass can my boy be anymore cooler this is the reason why he’s my favorite character 😁😍🖤💎

The gameplay of shadow generations looks great! who knows what else they have that we haven’t seen?

I just love that I can be excited for a Sonic game without having to be scared about anything, this is really fantastic!!

That section where Shadow kicks the missile away and rolls on the ground, to me is more of what I want out of the Boost Games. Forces KIND OF started this trend with stages like Capital City, and MAYBE Frontiers, but this actually feels more natural.

Since I never played the original Sonic Generations, I'm extra excited for this

Sam procrastinated so hard with this video

When the world needed him the most, he uploaded a new video.

The turn around from frontiers is crazy (also Sam uploaded a video finally lol)

As a long time Sonic fan I'm perplexed by this game: where is Wade? Where is Pistol Pete? Why is nobody bowling?

Since this is confirmed to not be as long as Sonic Generations, a part of me feels like the only main zones we're going to see is Space Colony ARK, Bullet Station, and Kingdom Valley, with multiple acts for each. Given the length of the level that was shown and the confirmation of multiple acts, even with that, it does seem like there's going to be a good chunk of content to dive into, I'd imagine there'll be at least 6 acts with a few bosses in the game. After Sonic Frontiers and thinking that there were going to be many more Cyber Space themes aside from Green Hill, Chemical Plant, Sky Sanctuary, and the City area... I personally kinda feel like we may be seeing the majority of the level themes already. I do hope we at least get one more zone though, I'm really hoping we something like Final Haunt for the last zone of the game, that'd be really fitting. I dunno, maybe there'll be many more level themes, but I just remembered the Frontiers thing where we didn't get as many level themes as we thought, so I'm kinda keeping my hype in check. I'm still stoked for this though.

Based purely on that one screenshot the hub world reminds me of unleashed hub worlds(the ones u enter to get to levels) cus there was collectibles to find and levels to get to, if like base generations game they have "challenge acts" that would be a perfect way to implicate them and maybe find records of music related to shadow or other collectibles maybe for chaos abilities, obviously idk but that wat I expect based on that screenshot

Nobody talks about how it's Full 3D stage btw no 2d in the entire 5-6min long stage,not even og generations had that lmao

I’m 100% hyped for this game

The "X" is a reference to cross. Sonic cross Shadow Generations.

As much as i hope the open zone will change depending on the stages it is called white space so it will probably only look like the picture with minor changes which im fine with it still looks fun

Already have the game pre-ordered I can't wait. Super hyped

October We Feast😤

It’s not called Shadow generations because it’s not just about shadow

Sam: " I know that theres some really sweaty sonic fans going in per pixel, like blades of grass..." Also Sam:

This feels like a Sonic fan game in all the best ways.

The Shadow levels look really good.

Linear doesn't necessarily mean bad imo. As long as the level is challenging and engaging I don't mind it.

We haven't seen Mephiles yet, so if they're revisiting 06 I hope they're saving him for a big reveal and role in Shadow's story 😁

Question is, will Shadow have the same amount of Boss fights and Rival Battles? There’s already Biolizard and Black Doom, will the 3rd be Mephiles maybe. As for rival, I imagine Sonic on the Ark and Silver on Kingdom Valley, 3rd could be Knuckles maybe.

I wonder if we'll be able to play Shadow's levels as Sonic and vica versa after completing both games or in a DLC.

we should call it Shadic generations

02:37 lets rember that frontiers in their first open world showcase had basicly no sky rails, platforms or that many rings around(because it was toggled off) seems likely all the collectables are disabled in that one screenshot of shadow generations, also can we talk about how one the shadow model does not seems to be the one from forces his quills are so long and wide, and how much of a polish look this game is giving

I’m super hyped ❤

I get that saying; "I'm glad we're heading in the right direction with this one" triggers people for some reason but I look at it as... if you lose your way or you slip up then... You gotta get back in the: "Right Direction"

I always refer Sam to my best friend as Man Who Said Thicker Than a Bowl of Oatmeal guy 😂

7:11 "just the FADELity" Gamescage MENTION🗿

They cooked, I am so excited and yes I’m pre ordering it. I’m proud of sonic team

Only thing I'm glad about for Sonic Generations is that lives are gone and that the button layout is similar to Frontiers. Shadow Generations tho looks very exciting

The big question is will see Maria in this game?

Now that i had time to think about it... I kinda like classic Sonics top quill

10:51 fin.

Also, I am really hoping they bring back Memphis Tennessee. 😄

Also this ark level doesn't have any 2d sections, kingdom valley level has a 2d section tho

I think that the Shadow Generations portion will actually be about the same length as Sonic Generations considering how short that game is

I’m definitely preordering the game soon, however I want to know if the 720p 60 frames shown in the trailer on Nintendo’s account is accurate to the final release. I can play Sonic games at 30 (I got the Switch version of Color Ultimate for context) but I like 60 more. Maybe I’m overthinking it and should just get it on Switch anyways. Not sure.

Something I havent seen you talk about yet is the control scheme. Their are using the frontiers control scheme with homing attack as square and boost as RT for both sonic and shadow. I see this as a win but what do you think?

Sam, modern sonic does have a drop dash just wanna let you know. Fadel showed some footage of it

2:55 It's literally a single value, not a problem

I get the feeling that a sonic 06 remaster might be coming at some point. I'm only saying that bc the amount of recognition and representation the game has been getting in recent years would seem odd if that wasn't the case. Maybe they might change the story a bit. And if Mephalis returns in this game, that will cement the belief for me.

If Generations got the same controls inputs as Sonic Frontiers that would be a big W and would translate better to Shadows gameplay from what I can see so far

Yeyeye.

Only thing i want is for the homing attack for shadow to do cool tricks like modern sonic. He just curls into a ball 😢

*I hope Sam doesn't get his hopes up too high 😅. I believe Ian Flynn about a 2 hour campaign, and im not expecting much in any surprises besides what they showed.* I like his optimistic pov though.

Hope Sega can somehow fix the generations boost if they can do all this as a newlizard story mode thing. we need unleashed style boost not generations or kishi moto colors boost in future sonic games. The shadow levels look so amazing but not crazy about adventure era stuff. Wish Sega can make modern starlight zone & modern mushroom hill one day with unleashed graphics & boost gameplay hopefully. My fingers are definitely crosst tightly if they can do all this for the adventure era, they can do the same for classic era fans too. It's not far sega always caters to adventure fans all the time & you guys get everything you all want & we just get a small classic sonic game & some bread crumbs here & there sam that's not right of them to do. Happy for you guys though. I can't wait for perfect dark that's gonna be really good

I saw this in my recommended on my phone so I clicked on the video and went to my tv to watch it on there and I paused the video and the first thing I hear is, HELP

What’s your credits end music?

There's only one thing that really bugs me so far... and it's that the upside-down towers aren't connected to the Ark. I always saw them as a sort of upside-down City. I know it's a nitpick, but it's part of what made Final Rush/Chase feel unique and believable. It just feels wrong to me for the Ark not to be above you.

The open zone architecture doesn’t quite match Soleanna imo

Sam, Do you consider City Escape a good level, because City Escape is very linear, doesn't branch out, and has a 40 second unskipplable hold foward sections at the beginning and end. Not hating but I just wondering.

I’m only expecting the one hub world tbh
