Egg Albatross
ripe cypress
Is a cool bird
dire quiver
There are cooler and more fitting choices, I was about to say Egg Albatross too.
balmy fiber
Like shadow is like being taunted about the whole android thing
ripe cypress
I really really hope each stage has narrative significance
This is the kind of game that needs that over greatest hits
open maple
Hang Castle has none
Technically it's the stage that makes Shadow wonder about Sonic and his general role
dire quiver
^
balmy fiber
how does cyptic castle looks
tardy pivot
ok so maybe that part's about him in relation to the other characters then
ripe cypress
open maple
ripe cypress
dire quiver
ripe cypress
If it is criptic, downgrade of a lifetime
balmy fiber
Or red sky
tardy pivot
too close up to tell if it's cloudy
balmy fiber
This could just be a transformation background
dire quiver
Yea, Hang Castle is mixed with orange and yellow.
The moon looks purely yellow in the screenie we got.
glacial cliff
Anthro hedgehog mascot with jet shoes and mickey mouse gloves having body horror wings
balmy fiber
I like the body horror wings
wind frigate
gens just looks darker
tardy pivot
looks a little sharper too
ripe cypress
I wish I felt the same, I need them to look better in motion
Literally all the fanartists give them more form
tardy pivot
he could be in the middle of transforming
dire quiver
My personal opinion: the wings themselves look very cool and the idea is outstanding, but Shadow's model makes me not really vibe with it.
tardy pivot
so it might not even be his final form
ripe cypress
Imagine
ripe cypress
My personal opinion: the wings themselves look very cool and the idea is outstan...
Shadow's model + the model of the wings
It's just not vibing
It needed to cook harder
dire quiver
For me it's only Shadow.
wind frigate
why did you show your mom the wings
open maple
why did you show your mom the wings
Because she kind of likes Shadow
and when she saw it, she was flabbergasted
wind frigate
anyways I think he looks cool and if you don’t you’re LAME 
ripe cypress
Erm..
vale raft
yeah looks ugly lol
dire quiver
Like, it feels as if somebody just slapped some wings on him.
wind frigate
joking aside that’s enough shadowing for me i need to sleep
tardy pivot
I'd wait till the trailer probably
glacial cliff
I want Super Chadow with his spikes up 🥺
glacial cliff
Lmfao
I swear
If that's the gameplay...
Also yeah
The modern era models
Very mascot energy
So it creates a whiplash when they do this kind of thing
azure trail
gens just looks darker
looks like unleashed lighting
glacial cliff
Doesn't fit as well as previous looks
dire quiver
It cannot be more stock music.
glacial cliff
Btw guys

Did anyone bring up the Frontiers-ass platforms they are on in the boxart @ripe cypress 💀
dire quiver
Yes.
ripe cypress
Yes
torn scarab
Did anyone bring up the Frontiers-ass platforms they are on in the boxart <@9529...
yes
cedar ember
Like, it feels as if somebody just slapped some wings on him.
it's not like they'd show the full form yet, I'm pretty sure it builds up as you progress through the story.
ripe cypress
Were those platforms in ShTH
dire quiver

One of the ark level maybe
glacial cliff
I just saw the color scheme and instantly thought Frontiers
fierce epoch
She’s a baddie she know she a 10
ripe cypress
Wait no
dire quiver
it's not like they'd show the full form yet, I'm pretty sure it builds up as you...
You're right, there could be more.
wise turret
gens just looks darker
guess they did something to the game’s gamma correction
ripe cypress
City Escape platforms?
fierce epoch
Tbh I lowkey want a Sonic game as good as Dream Team in terms of level design
cedar ember
You're right, there could be more.
i think it's a "there definitely is more" type thing
glacial cliff
But it's fiiine
ripe cypress
nvm
balmy fiber
Thats ark platforms
glacial cliff
The fire is fire
cedar ember
I'm curious as to what these new powers will bring to the table gameplay wise
dire quiver
I still would like to see what the story is about first.
cedar ember
first hmmmm
dire quiver
Or, er, how it plays out.
cedar ember
we already saw Shadow use chaos spear, I'm betting this game will have some good gameplay variety
cedar ember
we already saw Shadow use chaos spear, I'm betting this game will have some good...

sonic team will lock in and actually make a balanced combat system for once?
(i actually haven't played tfh so idk if st learned from their mistakes and made the tails knux and amy ones good)
dire quiver
(Don't let them know, chat).
vale raft
wind sparrow
Hey so if they added more Chao to the cutscenes do you think they updated the VAs and added more characters?
open maple
Hey so if they added more Chao to the cutscenes do you think they updated the VA...
It is possible
The cutscene, if that is anything to go by, had been tweaked a bit
glacial cliff
Is it just me or do the textures from the Speed Highway stage look not as high res as the ark
vale raft
because he1?
cedar ember
I'm gonna say that is a PS5 vs switch footage thing
vale raft
it doesn't seem like they've touched up any of the assets
dire quiver
Tobe might be referring to the stage that looks like Speed Highway with Shadow grinding.
glacial cliff
I was not involved in those meetings
cedar ember
that reflection
dire quiver
I still think it looks like Radical Highway.
vale raft

people saying this is switch but i dont really buy it
cedar ember
all of the screenshots look like they've been taken on switch to me lol
actually I'm not sure about the first
ripe cypress
If these were my first impression of Shadow Gens it would be so over
Dusty af Shadow
dire quiver
The more I look at Rail Canyon, the more I dislike the Chromatic Aberration in the screenshot.
vale raft
If these were my first impression of Shadow Gens it would be so over
that's what im saying these screenshots stink
wind frigate
wise turret
all of the screenshots look like they've been taken on switch to me lol
still wild how someone at SEGA or Sonic Team somehow either saw the Venom movie or read the “Venom: King in Black” comic run and decided to give Shadow symbiote-ass wings
like you’re just asking for a fuckin Venom mod on day one there
wind frigate
anyways these are probably gonna be the screenshots up on the website right
or maybe for the store pages
wind frigate
or maybe for the store pages
it might be screenshots for the eshop just because the full image of the box art we got was for the switch
wise turret
Remember the time where when the first Venom movie was planned to release in Japan, SEGA decided to cross promote it with fucking Persona Q2 and Persona 5 Royal of all games iirc?
What if that shit led to Shadow getting wings in Shadow Generations?
keen wren
still wild how someone at SEGA or Sonic Team somehow either saw the Venom movie ...
I think itmight be a devil may cry thing
lone lantern
Sonic on Broadway is coming.
I'm not even joking, I deadass feel it like a premonition.
dire quiver
it might be screenshots for the eshop just because the full image of the box art...
I was thinking just that.
keen wren
That's where my mind goes with the wings
devil trigger kinda thing
especially cuz his dad looks like... satan
HEy shadow, its me
the devil, I gave you wings
ripe cypress
I went back to check if the screenshot Seaside Hill sky was darker than the original, doesn't look like it
Well maybe a little bit
open maple
I wouldn't say it is 'darker' more so a bit more saturated
ripe cypress
Basically yeah
dire quiver
Why not try to get an identical shot?
ripe cypress
Bc I'm still playing the level 
glacial cliff
If they had budget for the remaster portion they'd have added proper grass
dire quiver
You shall keep playing until then.
ripe cypress
Oh my god Generations what
What do you mean I cant
Launch the spindash after one charge
glacial cliff
Hold it
ripe cypress
Holding my breath more like
ripe cypress
Refusing to breath until Generations repsects the fundamentals
ripe cypress
Huh
Either taken with a screenshot tool or the draw distance is better than the PC version?
Nah probably the motion blur
ripe cypress
No I mean the haze on the background
Makes it harder to see the details of the background elements
open maple
Oh yeah
ripe cypress
On the PS360 versions that haze is horrendus, so idk
Might not be switch screenshots
open maple
looks very well all things considered
But yeah I think the new one doesn't have an intense motion blur
and the colors are more saturated
ripe cypress
More colorful generations 
Hooooooly moly this spin dash is killing me
One charge is not enough to move two inches
But two charges is more powerful than every other spindash in the series
And it's entirely necessary too since it's the only thing that can clear the ramps in the game
Tried to spindash backwards up a quarter pipe, even with two charges launching at that speed it still dropped like a rock
Ok yeah it's the motion blur
open maple
Ok yeah it's the motion blur
oh damn
ancient moss
It's possible they rebaked them at a higher resolution or something?
ripe cypress
Tbh I was mainly making a joke since the contrast was being upped to begin with, but if the added shadows in the birthday party scene are anything to go by, they might as well have
open maple
Oh yeah I saw they added chao
4 chao and some of the plants around were changed both in places and such
ancient moss
They didn't just add chao in 1 scene
ancient moss
Like I'm not saying they made a chao garden
But they didn't model a chaos chao just for the cutscene
open maple
Yeah I think there is something going on with the Chao
not only for SXSG but for the franchise at large if they're pushing them
fierce epoch
When are we gonna see dropdash
ripe cypress
When are we gonna see dropdash
Tomorrow
fierce epoch
Guys… chao garden mode in sonic X shadow gens
ripe cypress
And it's going to launch at the speed of a thousand race cars
In order to work with Generations
open maple
Out of nowhere lol
I would say it started from a place
Sonic Frontiers
with the Knuckles prologue
ripe cypress
Yeah but we've had chao in the animations for forever
open maple
Yeah but it was the first one that had the chao involved in a plot of a game
at least on some form
ripe cypress
I could see Frontiers in general being the start of it
My thing is largely that the artists and animators largely don't control the direction of the series, so the cameos have always felt like just that
glacial cliff
Midori says Chao mobile game
ripe cypress
I need to find the quote on the chao garden that someone made before
ripe cypress
Oh ok it definitely started with Frontiers
wind sparrow
Remember the time where when the first Venom movie was planned to release in Jap...
What
ripe cypress
I need to find the quote on the chao garden that someone made before
I believe the quote had to do with Heroes and why it didn't include a chao garden actually
AH
There we go
wind sparrow
Twitter
ripe cypress
For the chao to be returning out of nowhere feels like a huge 180 after so many games avoiding it
Not that I'd be expecting a new Adventure game due to Iizuka's wording there, but clearly something has changed since then
open maple
For the chao to be returning out of nowhere feels like a huge 180 after so many ...
Yeah, it's surprising how suddenly they seem to be a focal point
ripe cypress
I do hope they keep it as a motivating factor to replay the Sonic stuff though
Hmm open zone though
open maple
Gens seems to be doing very good in those regards of pushing that aspect of sonic
random portal
Chao Guardians sweep
ripe cypress
For me a weak point of Generations' replayability has always been something this could fix tbh
Like it's very replayable regardless
But the meta of finding specific things in specific parts of the level, specific items, "collectables" that the other classic games had
Like a fire shield on the upper path or a bubble shield on the lower path
random portal
Yeah putting a Chao Garden in it would make it pretty replayable, I just hope it’s not as grindy as the Adventures. It took forever to get Chao to have good stats
Ooo shields
ripe cypress
The chao garden itself could use an update tbh
But yeah like shields
Collecting animals was a thing that made like
random portal
Unfortunate that they’re equipable skills base game
ripe cypress
Navigating to certain sections of the level engaging
Gens is almost singularly "get to the goal", while other Sonic games have that goal temporarily broken up by individual goals inbetween
The only outlier being red rings
Half of which usually collect themselves if you're on the right path
It's the same mindset as BotW's adhd level design but applied to Sonic level items instead 💀
"ooo collect fire sheild up here"
"ooo animal box down there"
"ooo combi ring ooo special stage ring nearby"
If they actually go the distance of implementing animals and chaos drives into Generations, that'd be impressive ngl
open maple
this is gonna make kids love shadow
Looks to be very cool, yeah
vale raft
Midori says Chao mobile game
but netflix...
keen wren
this is gonna make kids love shadow
I don't really think they needed too much help with that
Kids...really like sonic and tend to gravitate towards sonic content in spaces not even meant for it like roblox
while yes this can get some people up to speed on his lore and the movie will introduce him to new folks
generally its a situation where sega is just giving those kids an oppertunity to actually buy things with shadow in it
charactrs in geeral these days. Man its almost like kids like these characters. Would be wild if they just...removed most of them most of the time for a decade +
keen wren
wasn’t that serious i just made a general statement 😭
My bad, just like talking about sega
wind frigate
nah im not faulting you, I agree with what you said
keen wren
I think how kids interacted with sonic outside of sega is facinating
wind frigate
I was just saying kids usually like cool things so they’ll like shadow being cool 
keen wren
Hopefully more characters in future!
wind frigate
sonic x silver lost world yippee ‼️‼️

Sonic amy lost world?
Lost world registers as little planet in my brain

Forces remake, but I dunno vector is playable

wind frigate
sonic x silver lost world yippee ‼️‼️
ancient moss
we will be playing
keen wren
I'm curious how that would even work story wise
ancient moss
the deadly 6 managed to destroy all life and the future is in ruins, now silver has to stop them
wind frigate
story wise that actually might work if ian is a writer because he actually makes zavok cool as hell tbh
ancient moss
true
vale raft
crazy how it took this long for sega to cater to chao fans
and its still sort of hampered by chao guardians' netflix exclusivity
curious where the chao will get sucked into in the intro
fierce epoch
Idk they are okay
floral silo
so ive seen the leaks
holy fucking shit sonic team is LOCKED IN i would have never expected to see that ever
fierce epoch
I don’t wanna jump the gun until I see levels
floral silo
ok true
fierce epoch
Visuals are cool but actual gameplay matters more
(This ain’t saying that you can’t be hyped, that’s chill lol do whatever)
floral silo
yea i wonder what stuff we will actually get to use during gameplay
fierce epoch
I’m lowkey excited but I don’t wanna go full on “peak peak”
fierce epoch
yea i wonder what stuff we will actually get to use during gameplay
Just hope it’s better then forces or frontiers
floral silo
i feel like better than forces is just guaranteed
in terms of controls i feel like its gonna be frontiers with a couple tweaks
fierce epoch
If it’s Frontiers I’d want the level design to be focused more on boost jumping and landing on platforms
If they substitute the obstacle course for more platforming and combat I’d be happy
floral silo
yea
fierce epoch
I honestly hope that add the stomp jump from Frontiers
floral silo
idk it felt a bit too slow for me id rather just take smth like a bounce bracelet
fierce epoch
The stomp jump allowed for a lot of jankiness of the character controller to be subsidised
floral silo
would be better then if the controls wouldnt be janky in the first place 
warm basin
also not many people talk about it but i really like this shadow render
posing is really good
wind frigate
I liked it but then i noticed his lips and it was ruined

wind frigate
oh hello there
ripe cypress
Twitter
cedar ember
I remember us speculating about the possible pathway to the left and now I'm hoping it's a path that we can revisit later on in the game when we unlock those wings
oh you can't fully see it in this screenshot my bad 💀
could be a large stretch but whatever
anything's possible!
floral silo
that would be sick but it just depends on how the wings are gonna work
cedar ember
it entirely depends on if we can use these things manually-
floral silo
idk if its just gonna be a thing we can use anytime
cedar ember
that would suck
so many games introduced flying of some sort so they could easily pull from there, but yeah thats probably gonna be the most realistic outcome
balmy fiber
What if we get a chao follower instead of a garden
Considering this is a mission with chao
torn scarab
I mean probably
wind frigate
real bold take i know but we really need new models for these characters if they wanna do crazy shit like this
as cool as it is, ||having these eldritch ass wings attached to what’s the equivalent of a mascot suit is a LITTLE funny||
dire quiver
We discussed it a bit ago, but I agree a lot.

wind frigate
can they please show this in the trailer today so i can stop censoring it
warm basin
real bold take i know but we really need new models for these characters if they...
kinda yeah
but need to see shadow with them in motion
wind frigate
To be honest
I’m not that bothered by the body
More so the face
Because what kind of expression is he making there
Like is he in pain, is he just generally shouting
I can’t tell
torn scarab
Probably shouting as the wings are very sharp and are literally coming out of him
wait
Though he could also be in pain from those sharp ass wings
wind sparrow
real bold take i know but we really need new models for these characters if they...
Why does it look like he’s in pain?
torn scarab
sharp wings sprouting out of his body I guess
There’s just one question
Even with the holes in his wings
Can shadow fly now
warm basin
why would sonic team give shadow wings if he cant fly with them
warm basin
but tbf i think that black arms cant fly aside from black doom
and some other variations
torn scarab
why would sonic team give shadow wings if he cant fly with them
Well see…im fucking stupid😭
My brain shut off for a second
steep sequoia
real bold take i know but we really need new models for these characters if they...
yeah they really do not fit the body at all
the wings are so detailed and raw looking
and then you got this mfer with barely any real expression and clown gloves
lost snow
I like them but it only works for a cool epic moment like idk, a Frontiers type Titan boss fight
or a minigame a la the glider section in 06
they aren't meant to be mainstay but special, otherwise ew my boi is ruined
same discourse as Super Sonic 2 honestly
wind frigate
same discourse as Super Sonic 2 honestly
tbf though
ss2 usually did stuff like hide his mouth
so he still looked cool
blazing belfry
Ss2's design was simpler and so it was easier to work with the model
While giving a cartoon hedgehog detailed alien wings and making it cool is a tall order in the best of times, I do agree that the models we currently have aren't helping matters
It's the eyes mostly, they wrap around the face in a way that makes them look weird
static elm
😭
wind frigate
he can obviously still look cool but it has more of a priority of being as brand accurate and friendly as possible
blazing belfry
wind frigate
But that’ll happen if you use the same baseline as the one from 2011 ig
balmy fiber
06 shadow would look way better
wind frigate
he WOULD
balmy fiber
Yea like its funny how much worse these models look with time
Like come on is time to move on sega
This shadow looks honestly hideous
wind frigate
I didn’t say he wasn’t bad

The person who analyzed knuckles also did shadow and they put exactly why shadow looks so bad

It's a fairly miniscule detail, but I don't think the shoes are complete without it.

One per game with Shadow, so 5 zones
Not even Frontiers has 9 environment assets like what
Frontiers has 4 cyberspace zones and 3 island themes
Admittely it is easy to top
balmy fiber
Yes. It is.
I mean i expect
6
If they say its a full game at least 6 is needed for a full game

Probably yeah, a new stage or another Shadow/SA2 zone
gloomy bloom
this would be great
keen wren
How is all of this + Gens extra stuff all 50???
Tbf
a " whole game" is still likely half a video game
shadow isn't getting classic levels
I thik maybe everyone forgot there's a 2d section to this game as bad a sit may be
gloomy bloom
10$ for Gens remaster + 40$ for Shadow the Hedgehog 2
keen wren
So you could have a bunch of levels if you have no interest in making 2d counter parts
keen wren
Shit there being no 2d levels actually supports the theory there might be some kinda chao thing ,
that's a whole ass 9 levels they did't have to make
lost snow
They said it is big, Shadow Gens, so they could just have more acts per zone?

Im okay with that but also im dying for tons of zone locals

Interesting
random portal
Prob
unique osprey
maybe this time theyll actually fuse the us/jp websites together?
simple owl
no
probably either a new look for sites like Sonic Channel (going for 8 years)
or maybe they'll merge SOJ and Asia's CMS into one
random portal
Visual update would be pog
simple owl
but a straight up SOJ/SOA merge, esp for Sonic, is something I don't see happening
there's way too many JP centric initiatives that wouldn't translate to an Western audience
like sure, cool fan art and stuff but I'm pretty sure no one cares about SEGASammy's baseball team or their efforts for 3/11
gloomy bloom
well it's nice they recently made a sort of effort with the auto-translation feature on the Channel site
still wish the stories they made got official translations , but it is what it is
simple owl
afaik that auto translate feature was put on Sonic Channel as an acknowledgement of western readers
and for liability, i.e., that social media policy telling us to bug off
gloomy bloom
yea it definitely looks like it
simple owl
they don't have a honest intention to actually translate their stuff to English, tbf
which sucks! and I can go on about how their stuff is universally understood, but that's a topic for another day
gloomy bloom
totally blows yeah, wish someday they could change their mind on that
like appreciate the slight bit of something but that's still relying on a janky translation off google
and some of these stories may not change the games but they have some interesting bit of stuff that most fans would appreciate
unique osprey
i figure that when most of the people interacting with the jp account are english users, there'd at least be a more prominent translation presence
gloomy bloom
and like yeah there are folks out there doing their own translations but
this shouldn't be the work of a third and unpdaid party
random portal
Yeah I wish there was official translations of the Sonic Channel stories and character bios
simple owl
totally blows yeah, wish someday they could change their mind on that
only way I see this changing is when SEGA Asia is in play
Beyond unofficial translations (like Windii) to image distributions (like yours truly), the Asia divisions are practically the only ones who are using Sonic Channel assets for their marketing exercises
Obvious in the sense that these divisions, like in South Korea and SEA among others, are joint collaborations with SOJ (expanding the Sonic brand across Asia - that's a "transmedia" thing); but, these divisions can issue their own translations, even in English if they wanted to.

good example are those microsites hosted on asia.sega.com - translated to each market with English used as a stop gap (since English is widely understood to be a universal language of commerce)

She seems indecisive because she probably does enjoy spreading her information, but at times it can be uncomfortable for her due to certain people.
I find it a bit disrespectful to call it "fake".

My guess for that online is PSO1 related since it's been rumored twice now

Indecisivness is the word

It's important that she thinks it through to not get the worst of it.

My guess for that online is PSO1 related since it's been rumored twice now
if it was i'd think she'd say what exactly it is
maybe she'll elaborate soon

yeah she has to be more cautious now due to those people
balmy fiber
I didn't meant to be rude
But like i dont like when someone says they will stop with a thing
And change their mind in the next day
And so on and so fourth
Like i understand her situation.
Assholes from Resetera are harassing her
But i guess it can't be helped
dire quiver
Well, it can be confusing so I can't blame you on that part, I just think it makes perfect sense as to why she's changing her mind constantly.

Can't blame her

This is hard to explain, but something to do with personas and who Midori really is.

nah "Midori" has always been a good person. Just that he has... a lot of bad shits going on back then

I recognize his older accoount few years back too and he had to leave twitter completely due to Persona 5 not being in switch. Note this is before it actually was in switch
That's what I am saying!

This would be the third time a white guy(s) larped as Japanese women to leak stuff
steep sequoia
But I can say that both Midori and Zippo are not like actual "bad" people. They both have their moments, but they tends to be very chill to talk to.
It's just that when it comes to leaking stuff it tends to be like that towards to their behavior
static elm
I'm so confused. What is going on?
Midori is just an alt from an old leaker, tails guy is the one who shared the heroes leak thing to "midori" that he learned from zippo, zippo did some questionnable stuff
