Why is Sonic Generations Getting Remastered? 

is sonic jam considered a remaster? i think it is more a cool emulator thing

@flafmg. it is. They didn't emulate but ported the games to the Saturn and included a bunch of enhancements like difficulty modes, smoother gameplay and audio, Sonic World, and more.

oooh, i didnt know, i thought it was just emulating the games and adding some stuff in the rom or idk@@HonchoV1

Ngl it is the only sonic game I played And I wanna play it on ps5 for nostailga I didn't want it myself but my dad bought it for me when I had my ps3 long time ago, even though I wanted cod and gta 4

I thought this was fake but it its......real😢😢😢

That's why the pc version is always definitive for any sonic game.

Where's that DAMN 4th mod? lol@@HonchoV1

A good 50mm Desert Eagle

for his neutral special

Maybe in the movie

Exactly. There's a moment between Shadow and the Comander where he says that if everything he's saying is true, that he'll accept his fate after everything is over. And later during the hard mode missions, the commander apologizes and invites Shadow over for dinner and that he's a grandfather. The game has bad parts in it, but I think the good Shadow parts don't get talked about enough

Plus the whole game is full of translation errors and left out a lot of cultural context. Example for cultural context: It's not uncommon for child characters in japanese media to curse. Sonic saying the word shit would not and actually *IS* not controvercial over there. Example for misstranslation: ...basically the entire game. The native japanese version is entirely different in comparison to the american version. Probably the worst translation any Sonic game received ever. Just gonna edit this in here for the people who made a response to my comment clearly without understanding what I was saying: When I said that the translation team didn't take cultural context into account I obviously meant that they shouldn't translate swearing 1 to 1 from japanese to english. Different cultures=different standards. To me, this was obvious. Why? Well, what else could I have meant by saying "they left out cultural context"? The only "place" they could leave cultural context out of is...the translation. Obviously. It saddens me that this is actually something I have to explain. It should be so obvious but some people seem to struggle with the most simple things. Other than that: The best example for mistranslation is the "Where is that da~n 4th Chaos Emerald?"-scene. In japanese. Shadow of not swearing in that scene. It was a mistranslation. Another edit: Just a general response to the comments here because so many people seem to not understand what Shadow the Hedgehogs story is about and why it actually treats Shadow as a character pretty great... The big thing about the Shadow in Shadow the Hedgehog is that he is NOT the Adventure 2 Shadow. He is a completely different character due to his amnesia. The Shadow from Adventure 2 is dead and he actually didn't get revived because Shadow himself never regains his memories...in the true ending he puts his whole past behind him, including Maria. Why does he do that? Because he doesn't have any attachments to Maria or his past. It's a story about living life to the fullest and not letting yourself get bound down by your past. It's a really interesting take on the whole amnesia topic because...his amnesia never gets cured. But he decides for himself that it doesn't even matter. He will live life to the fullest in his own way. Doesn't matter if he lost his memories or not. If you want a more detailed explanation about this watch Pariah695's video about Shadow the Hedgehogs story. He explains in detail why most people just do not get the story of that game. And he also explains in detail how poorly it was translated into English.

​@tadaokou4919 dawg you cannot expect every Sonic game to start cursing in localization just cause they do it in Japan. Such a 2009 opinion lol

Amazing...your comment is basically calling me stupid but it basically is just you showcasing how you can't put 1 and 1 together to form a senseable conclusion. I said that the game was very poorly translated. It's basically a completely different story in japan. I also said they left a lot of culture context OUT of the translation. The cultural context is that curse words are pretty normal for child media in japan. What does that actually mean for the translation? Well, obviously you shouldn't translate curse words 1 to 1. That's the cultural context they were not thinking about. If something goes in Japan it doesn't mean it goes in the west. That's part of the poor translation I was talking about. So...how about you actually start thinking about the words I wrote, "dawg"? Emberassing. Though I do have to say that the west (mainly america) acts pretty childish about the whole use of curse words. "Shadow said damn! How TERRIBLE!!" Grow up. It's just a word.@@TheAnimatedGamer

Yeah but like, if 99% of the game is just dumb what ifs, what’s the point of that 99%? Why am I even bothering to play these parts of the game if they don’t effect anything?

Because what is even Shadow without him going through that tragedy? Like honestly, people nowadays seems to have forgotten that Maria's death is shadow's entire purpose and existence into becoming who he was in SA2 and partly his own solo game

​@@Cruddy129He'd be black Sonic 🤣

At the Toronto Sonic Symphony, during I Am All Of Me, the row in front of me cheared when Maria got shot. Funnest thing I ever expected. Lol.

@@infiniteoctopawsame happened in Atlanta XD

@@flamingophone Not sure what relevance this has to the comment other than sonic movie 3 but I strongly agree. SA2 disappointed me.

@@cooljrgaming9729 why

@@cooljrgaming9729 also i meant it that it wouldve been better if they remade/remastered SA2

@@cooljrgaming9729 instead of sonic generations

@@cooljrgaming9729 and would make more profit

no

I mean, does it really need an explanation? If Shadow is, in Eggman's eyes, one of the most powerful weapons on the planet, then why wouldn't he want a whole army of him to help take over the world? And if the clones, unlike the original, don't have any memories from before, they are much easier to manipulate or straight-up program.

You're right. Why didn't they add it to origins? Missed opportunity.

@@HonchoV1 Probably because of canonicity, as Chaotix didn't become canon to the series until they were "first" seen in Heroes.

@@LoliconSamalik lol they retconned it with the in tails tube modern knuckles remembers them.

@@LoliconSamalik im pretty sure their new direction to the plot is "every game that ever was is canon" except some extreme cases like that one rpg game on nintendo ds and stuff like sonic schoolhouse, because even riders, storybook series and rivals(which has eggman nega) are a part of the same canon

Everyone's been waiting for it because it's the final game that needs to be improved and remastered on the retro engine 😩

Yes, dude. you don't want to know how upset I am

A remastered version of unleashed would've been great. It wouldn't have had the stupid battle theme song play every time theirs a fight. Medals wouldn't be forced to collect in order to progress. Etc..

@@rundown3984 tbh that game doesnt need a remaster it just needs a port since everything they may have wanted to do with that game was most likely done since the entire game does not drop in quality at the rate other sonic games do when they need a remaster

not to mention they actually made level dlc with it

​@FidgetyAttic sonic unleashed is a super fun game, with a LOT of flaws.

Both please.

@@BoyleVoiceswe need 3

they'd probs start with remakes before we get 3

Sonic 4 taught me I don't want any game explicitly called sonic adventure 3

Shadow the Hedgehog was originally supposed to be Adventure 3. There is an article about that on Kikizo Archives from 2005. Sadly, the .wmv files of the trailers in the article were taken down, and I hope they'd upload it on their YT channel soon.

No one plays Sonic for the story.

@@AlphaZeroX96 You must be new to the Sonic community.

@@Crow_Rising No, I'm not.

@@AlphaZeroX96 Then you should know by now that many, many people actually do play Sonic for the story, and that games such as the Adventure games, Rush and Rush Adventure, Unleashed, and more are specifically praised for their stories while others such as Sonic 06 and Sonic Forces are criticized in no small part due to it.

@@Crow_Rising I'm a gameplay person. By the way, there are Sonic fans out there willing to sacrifice the gameplay for story.

DANG IT! I forgot about Jam, your right!

I cant even buy it cause I'm petty about the music

@@TheReZisTLust what? The switched up MJ tracks? That’s Origins my friend, Jam released on the Sega Saturn in 1997 and has MJ’s Carnival Night, Icecap, and Launch Base.

Nor do they have the will to make it better

Of course not bro 00' ST made Unleashed, a boost/HnS hybrid in two years (1 which was making the Hedgy engine) Current ST took almost 5 years to make Forces, the rock bottom of boost formula

@@Sukaiba69 Bro, I respect how insane your pfp is XD.

Those remakes can only be Switch, Playstation, and Pc as Microsoft has no motion controls.

​@@MaoRattoPC has no motion controls too? Plus, Sega could just add a different control method in the Settings menu.

​@@verticalflyingb737Me when I connect my joycons or ps5 controller to pc:

I was just estimating. Maybe they could do it. But I would want the remakes to have as much time as possible to be made.

game development takes way more time now, just redoing all the assets and getting the physics right would take 2 yaers,now just imagine putting it all togheter

SA2 also came after SA1. Just think about it for a second or two.

@@DanielFerreira-ez8qd what did he mean by this mom what did he mean by that

@@Lazypackmule SA2 got to have 2 years of dev time by virtue of being a sequel developed from SA1. That game took roughly 2 years of development aswell. To remake either of those games would require a longer development time akin to making a whole new game today - because simply taking the source code wouldn't work, they would NEED to rebuild it from the ground up if they want to do any improvements at all. So, basically 2+ years if we're thinking of a basic retread of sonic adventure 2. Any sort of legitimate technical, graphical improvements would easily push it to a 4-5 year development time to be done right. Also, obviously worth reminding that those 2 years of development time for sonic adventure led to a lot of issues in that game. Even if 2 years was enough to recreate it, it would not be optimal for a remake to risk having the same issues.

That isnt really a hot take, the game has potential but execution was pretty bad. It does deserve either a sequel or rsmarter fixing everything wrong.

It's going to be the only boost game not re-released. it's a crime. And thanks!

just play unleashed project

I am having fun! The process feels tedious sometimes, but no matter the outcome, it feels worth it!

If you're willing to pay for a full priced nintendo console thats *just* as powerful as a PS4... Why not get a PS5? All new sonic games will be on there as well.

Generations is already on PC though

It comes off redudant if it is on PC though as it would mean. Just update the game or bundle it. The original engine so mods aren't hurt, while the remaster is a tumor. I want a remake of Sonic Heroes, just REMOVE HAVOK AND RENDERWARE FROM IT!

Do you even know what removing havok and renderware entails?

@@Die-Coughman Yes, but LibSMG64 exists. It depends how much time and effort is made to remove the renderware/havok engine parts. Project 06 emulates sonic 06's fairly well or even better display Havok being treated as more advanced.

Yes fuck sega for that

It's definitely not wrong to worry about the level design. But I feel like some people have already made up their minds on so little. But I know we all hope that our worries are proven wrong.

Fair enough.👍@@HonchoV1

If they actually do that then it’ll suck 💀 I loved generations for its physics.

@@Wano-Kunothe level looks like nothing frontiers or forces and forces character movement wasn’t bad it was more so the jump so as long as they fix that it’ll be fine

I feel like I'm in the minority with this but I don't like Shadow using a gun because he can shoot chaos spears already. Same with him using vehicles, he can already levitate and teleport. It feels edgy in a way that feels excessive, imo.

That is very wishful thinking and a bad excuse to not buy the game

⁠@@risha5642That was never the point. Shadow doesn’t need guns, but he uses them because he likes them. Same with his air shoes. He’s fast on his own but prefers to skate with the air shoes. Plus they did make the original game fun.

​@@TheAlphazoneYTI think guns also show his pragmatic nature. Sure, guns aren't necessary, but they were useful and lethal.

I would like to see classic shadow which is weird thing to say

Thanks!

Yeah, more like remade.

that just shows how beloved SA1 and SA2 are, and how much potential a hypothetical remake has... if SEGA doesn't release a rushed and under-budgeted mess, which is probably already too much to ask

I don”t like Sonic kissing human part it just weird

Uhh I can play it at 4K 60fps on Xbox Series X or just plain 4K on Xbox one X

If so then I'll walk inside and hold on for dear life

Before that though, can you answer that do you remember me?

I'm hoping for some heroes stages like Haunted castle or Grand Metropolis
