GREAT News for Sonic X Shadow Generations 

also sorry if my voice sounds weird i just woke up UPDATE: Generations will be a part of the new "Sonic Legacy Bundle" which will cost 60 dollars x.com/thestickmanx/status/1822018826323816466

“I was not expecting that. But I was expecting not to expect something, so it doesn’t count.”

Guess I won't be sailing the seven seas then....

This is actually a really good move from sega. I love this idea a lot

2:00 Yes! Make it happen SEGA!

This is good PR movement.

I don't know how Sega listens to fans but Nintendo doesn't

That idea of “giving” the “legacy” version of the game with the new release is an awesome idea. And probably the best. Now, if only Nintendo listened to fans like Sega does…

The fact that the mods aren't going to be affected, means that we can still play mods on a definitive edition of sonic generations, while able to play shadow levels in the future. That gives me a theory, if Sega decided to let mods be fully supported on a upcoming definitive version, that means it's also possible that SEGA allows their fans to make new mods on Shadow Levels, Modded Skins, Modded Bosses, and so on. Looks like they're is going to be Shadow Unleashed Mod if it's true.

In a way, I’m not too shocked about this. The genesis games’ delisting was a bad apple in a wave of Sega listening to fans ever since the Sonic Movie design incident.

That's really nice for SEGA to confirm us that mods are still compatible! At this point I wouldn't even be surprised if they lost compatibility and actually tried to make it more mod-compatoble

Theoretically old mods should still be compatible with SxS Gens as it’s still the same engine but with some touch ups, as long as the code isn’t altered too much I think most mods will still work with it

I remember buying the OG generations on Steam in 2020's Summer Sale for an amazind 2 BRL that's 40 cent in USD

Sega still dose what Nintendont

2:42 I still have a 360 disc copy of the game so I don't need to buy it on Xbox

I'm honestly surprised they brought the mods up directly, I was expecting them to just keep the wording vague, even if we know why they're doing it. To see them actually acknowledge the modding scene is pretty nice.

Bundling the original Sonic Generations with other Sonic games instead of fully delisting it isn’t a bad compromise. Not only does it preserve the original game, but it also allows newcomers to still have the option to get and play the original game and other Sonic games included in the bundles. I’m glad SEGA is at least willing to compromise and listen to feedback instead of removing the original game off digital stores altogether like with what happened with Sonic Origins.

1:59 Sega hire this man for Ideas

Well that's nice to hear. Its definitely better than them just removing the game out right. (Also nice choice on Ori and The Blind Forest. It really is a good time.)

Their first thought to keep the original generations should've been your idea, but the whole bundle thing is still pretty cool

me who is still waiting for sonic 1, 2, cd, and 3 and knuckles to come back

The best that they can do is for user friendly is that the new game works with old mods, and also that people with the game can upgrade it to the new shadow game for less money, something like ps4 Xbox one games upgrade to next gen series s/x and ps5, por 15 dlls or depending

i don’t even have my pc or gaming laptop yet(probably will get one around november) and right as this game was announced i made a steam account and bought the game for this very reason. I can’t wait to play sonic generations mods plus other sonic games

I can't wait for Sonic X Shadow Generations

The Nintendo mind cannot comprehend this

Depending on how different the remaster is, it may not be as difficult for mods to be translated over.

Wait, SEGA knew about the PC mods? O~O

I was on the fence about the $50 dollar price tag. But after seeing this update, I think I might even get the Digital Deluxe.

1:50 the same thing happened when I bought Red Faction Guerrilla Re-mars-ered on steam, it gave me the remastered AND the original game which was delisted, so I could see that happening with Sonic too.

Well. Here's what I'm thinking. When the game gets delist and new people wants to try out mods. This is what I'm thinking. Inpatient people:paying 143.90 just to play mods for the original gens People who wait for 13 years: buys Sxsg and when people recreate mods for the new version. They will be able to play the original mods for the game.

So glad they're keeping it available! I've been playing a bunch of the unleashed project the past few days and I would've hated to see it go

Still not going to forget what they did with sonic origins

“A Video game company being transparent with their fans” Challenge: IMPOSSIBLE! Sega: What do you mean?! You can play the original Sonic Generations no problem, but buy it before September 9 or else you have to pay for other Sonic games as well!

Ori and the will of the wisp is one of my favorite games EVER

it's a good thing i got it before on steam but the bundle even when sonic origins came out i got the classic 1 2 3k from the bundle it's good that they will still keep the og and sega is listening but lets be real sega sometimes does not listen well but we can only hope for the best going ahead

Some other publishers, especially with popular multiplayer titles with a demo system built-in, will utilize Steam's "branches" system as a means to switch the version of a game to an older version, normally to maintain the viewability of older replays. This isn't an elegant solution, but it might just work for what SxSG needs.

Steam unlocked when they see 0:19: am I a joke to you?

Sega has been getting more I don't know, down to earth recently? We're being listened to for feedback, yes, but they're also approaching small studios for collabs too. Specifically with rhythm games. We've had Chunithm collab with Phigros and Muse Dash recently, also Crypt of the NecroDancer got a Hatsune Miku character DLC, but I'm unsure if Sega has anything to do with it (I still can't tell if Hatsune Miku is owned by Krypton or Sega)

Hey you can get the game with steam keys even after the game gets delisted. And for Xbox you can get a disc version if you own an Xbox with a disc drive

I don't know why it getting delisted is a surprise because they did the same thing 2 years ago with origins

How awsome would it be if Sonic Team would give us a few things from the Most Popular SG Mods, and in some cases Builds upon their original Mod, like if they would let us get a version of the CSI mod with better Classic physics and many deitails from it, like Classic Knuckles in Sky Sancuary Act 1 or the Retro Badnik Designs, but build off of it by letting us customise Classic Sonic using varius options like Fur colors Models and even a few animations with the Fur Colors all being based on Classic Sonic's different apearances, like Sonic 1, 2, 3K, and From Mania, Forces and Superstars

Another game that does the "Buy a remaster/remade version, you get the old one with it" is the original Darksiders. I recall buying the Warmastered edition when it was on sale and it just gave the the original with it. I do genuinely hope SXSHGens will do that too because I'm always a fan of when games do that. EDIT: Oh seems it's part of the Legacy bundle? Honestly a fitting place for it.

this might just be me but i hope one day SEGA puts the sonic games on GOG like the yakuza games

I mean.if there feeling guilty of removing it,they can just bring it back on all digital stores forever..🤷🏾‍♂️

About Ori automatically giving you the original version: the same happened to me when I bought New Super Lucky's Tale. So yeah, that is apparently a thing developers do sometimes. I think it's an absolutely great idea of yours for SEGA to also do that with Generations! That would be awesome! :D

Honestly I felt they did this the best way they could

Hah, when I heard about the delisting this is exactly what I hoped people would do. I hoped Sega would just bundle the original version in with the remaster, like Bethesda has done with their Doom and Quake rereleases, but this is definitely still not bad. And like you say they might still even do that. Good for everyone :)

Is it worth buying the original generations in my pc even tho i have it on xbox series s? my pc cant run the game well but i want to try out the mods

Even if the original generations was unattainable the mods still would be playable through existing copies of it, and through crack it wouldn’t have mattered mods wouldn’t have been gone but they would have been impossible to attain legally.

I hope they can also somehow port gens mods like unleashed project into sxsg and even mod shadows portion!

What about people with physical versions of the games like they got the game with a pc code? does it make you still install the game through steam?

I am genuinely so happy Sega is finally back and doing a good and listening to feedback I am so hyped for the future of sonic the hedgehog

yall see black doom new render its soo good

Not perfect but it’s better than nothing Which I was sure we’d get.

I mean, then again people could still port their mods to the new Sonic generations and it’s not even like that would be unlikely considering they get a whole nother game with it if they don’t mod base gems and they’re gonna mod shadow gems

Now let’s see if they listen to us to remove Denuvo from sonic x shadows generations because if they do, that would be a huge W for sonic fans modders and consumers that actually buy the game on steam because since the Denuvo is now part of the game, it’s gonna be a huge problem for modders that want to mod sonic x shadow generations

honestly I'd prefer to just see it as a bonus for buying the new one, but eh, it's still available in some form to let the old mods be used, I'll live. (Actuallt I'd *really* rather see them do what id does and just upgrade everyone on Steam, but something tells me a new campaign of Doom levels is a bit easier to build than the Shadow side of Sonadow Generations

This is not what I expected but damn, good move, Sega

2:00 There is not much of a reason NOT to do this if they want to preserve the game and the mods But on the whole, not a W, but not an L either.......I genuinely don't know what to make of this decision

The fact they acknowledged mods in the first place is mind-boggling to me

One thing I do hope is for Sega to throw a bone to the people who rushed, including myself. Basically, when this remaster got announced, it lead me to frantically buying the original on Steam in fear of it getting delisted, like, by itself, and that costed me $30, but with the announcement of it staying through bundles, I kinda hope Sega offers a Steam discount on SxSG for owners of the original game, like what Yooka-Replayee is doing.

That's a W and L my boys we technically still have generations but in a bundle.... The W is that the mods won't get obliterated i was hoping they wouldn't do that because this would feel like a backstab to the sonic community and the mod community.

holy fu** i need to buy Sonic Generations asap

I own a physical copy of the 360 version of gens so I’m good

On 9th September, it’s my birthday.

If they wanna help keep it up, just don't remove it. This bundle thing is stupid and a coy to get people to spend more money on the bundles

This would be such a great decision for them to make to avoid people wanting to play modded legacy gens without paying 100+€ for it

Wait why are mods at risk again? I won't pretend i know game modding, but i am currently working on my own indie game so take that as you will. I'm just thinking, if the file structure of the new game is the same as the old, shouldn't it be possible to just copy paste most preexisting generations mods with only minor bugs or am I completely off? Like surely they wouldn't change the entire ass file structure of what looks to be a port with a bit of new code for the drop dash, a skin selection menu and some updated cutscenes. If anything, I think character mods will probably have the highest chance of getting f-ed over since they may have changed some small things around for the skin system or renamed some files now that there are more than one player model in the game for modern sonic and presumably also classic sonic.

Wow, a game company doing consumer friendly practices? I honestly didn't see that coming, good on Sega for listening to fans. These are the things more companies should do as we the fans are more eager to support a release when they do.

(sees my SONICxSHADOW kingdom valley music mod at 0:25) look gary there i am!!

I never had an answer on a different channel but on Xbox I own the original version is sonic gens and I pre ordered the new one so i get a new sonic gens or is it just updated? Like I’m confused cause I own the original am I just getting a new generations and I still keep my old one or nah?

They should’ve listened that people wanted a sonic unleashed remaster that will likely never happen now sincd colors ultimate released

Or they could put shadow generations normally with original generations as dlc

Idk having to pay like $200 just for the original gens and getting a bunch of sonic games you didnt ask for alongside it doesnt seem like the best outcome

The mod base acknowledgement and preservation is such a massive W

So they WERE planning to delist it

SEGA always listens. Unless you ask for SAdventures games…

Why cant Nintendo be more like Sega, supporting their fans. Instead they treat their employees with the respect and care that they should’ve given to their fans. Also Sega should hire more fan game devs to replace Evening Star since they didn’t work on Superstars.

Now this is what I call caring for community W for SEGA

Can we also ask sega for a Chao Garden Game

WOOOO YEAH!!!! LETS GOOO ITS STILL AVALIBLE

I wonder I will just wanting to find out if there's The Doomsday Zone 3DS is here now and I waited to Sonic X Shadow Generations 3DS - The Doomsday Zone it's Super Mecha Sonic. or I'm gonna find out if there's Sonic X Shadow Generations - Super Mecha Sonic 3DS is here (SMBZ) It's The Doomsday Zone.

Prove that Sonic Team still cares about fans

It's sad that the PC version is gonna get Delisted on steam. I wanted to try the mods but once I do get a PC it'll be unavailable 😢

Sega listens to the fans? Never thought I say this. But good job, Sega....... Still don't trust you on the Generations Remastered though. But maybe there's hope.

If packgod roasted me I'll not make alts anymore at all

Good, just preordered

Pirate versions work with mods so I guess sega don't want money

So... okey maybe offtopic but maybe ori and ori2 wideo?

They listened huh, so why haven't they confirmed Silver being playable yet?

"Sega does what Nintendon't" moment

Its a partial "YASSS!!" and "NAAH" for me because you are forced to buy other sonic games, and cant buy it on consoles, but if they do the same thing like moon studios did, then they could prove that they atleast have some common sense.

Makes me happy

yess i bought genererations yesterday

Kinda unrelated but if I buy the physical edition of sonic x shadow generations, will I be able to upgrade it to the deluxe edition so I can enjoy everything that comes with both versions? I really want the Gerald notebook but at the same time I want the terios skin and the extra level.

I'm hoping that one day the make a remake of Sonic unlished

Bruh it doesn't matter if the game got delisted or not, the mods woulda been perfectly fine lmao. People really overreacting istg.

Ok but why can't we just get shadow generations as a dlc for sonic generations? I don't want to buy the same game twice.

No thats terrible, over 200$ to get gens like thats not a comprimise

This is still kinda bad because not everyone has a gaming PC mainly because of Money so SXSG can’t be playable on a potato and make it inaccessible for people who wants to play Generations but don’t have a powerful PC
