Generations Product Page Updates Officially Confirms New Features
Following on from Emerald Coast’s GAME PDLC story earlier, other sources like TSSZ and TSS are reporting that SEGA’s product page has been updated. This for the most part is pretty much in line with all reveals spilled from the Generations data late last week.
The product page lists the game features now thus:
Sonic Generations™
The ultimate celebration of 20 Years of Sonic gaming, Sonic Generations delivers the definitive gaming experience for Sonic fans new and old.
Sonic’s universe is thrown into chaos when a mysterious new power comes into force, creating ‘time holes’ which take Sonic and his friends back in time. Whilst there, Sonic runs into some very familiar characters from his past including a younger version of himself! Now they must team up to defeat their enemies, save their friends, and find out who is behind this diabolical deed.

And now a little note on where we are with the little exclusive I talked about a while ago: It’s unsure whether the details will appear here on SW, or will be revealed via SEGA – however the specific details, which relate to the early days of Generations, were agreed to, prior to my leaving the company, be revealed via me since I thought they were significant and since…well…it is actually my work/story so I thought I should have the right to tell it. I’ve actually been waiting VERY patiently for about five months now for this to go out, however with all the level details apparently out of the bag there doesn’t seem much point in waiting much longer. Hopefully SEGA will get their act together on this. Otherwise you’ll hear from us soon and the details will be revealed.
A little surprised no one has put 2 and 2 together on this one actually…
Sounds exciting. Hope SEGA don’t trump you and take your exclusive away.
Up to them really… but its just a nice bit of info that might make people more warm and fuzzy about Generations.
If we submit our photos to sega… will they put them on characters in the game?
Or you have a cameo in one of the stages?
A special exclusive? I do recall last time you, Retro and TSS revealed a cut-scene of Sonic Colours. Will we be seeing something similar in this case? :O
Unlikely I fear… and if it is offered it’ll probably by-pass us at a guess.
Sega is going to delay Generations, aren’t they?
They put the demo out on purpose, hoping fans would play it and hack it and complain about all that’s wrong with it, so they can delay the game and “fix” the problems.
Its the Sonic 4 leak all over again, isn’t it? Except maybe this time they’ll actually FIX the problems they say they’re going to fix?
….. nah.
I have put 2 and 2 together….. a massive gap in content space, posters and flying robots, and a 3d model on sonic news network that was hacked….. its gotta be CHAO
not to mention street pass and an unnamed non multiplayer online function for the console versions. this game takes the best from the 3 eras, but the dreamcast era is lacking in content. chao garden for each of the 9 levels? maybe. but chao gardens in general? almost certainly. am I right about chao being the exclusive? that is yet to be seen, but I have no doubt whatsoever!
ok maybe some doubt…. but chao will eventually make it back. at the rate sega is going, sonic adventure 3 and sonic generations 2 are not out of the question ( they said no to the latter, but they ALSO said theyd never make a game that pleased fans both new and old!). in those possible games, sa3 would have chao, and sg2 would have dreamcast sonic. thats just a dream of a fan of the adventure series, but with sega finally listening to us, anythings possible.
