Full Backstory Appears Certain
We have found what may be a small fly in the ointment with today’s Sonic Generations smorgasbord, particularly for the more purist classic Sonic fans. In its preview, the Swedish website Gamereactor has affirmed two writers who helped pen the storyline to Sonic Colors, Ken Pontac and Warren Graff, are on board for this new title.
That by default confirms that we will see a proper backstory in Generations, though to what extent is not yet known. That may upset a portion of Sonic fans looking for substance over style, but to be fair, the story elements in Colors were fairly limited, at least compared to other recent Sonic entries. What there was, however, did appeal to all ages, with far more clever writing than many fans were used to up to that point. But let’s not forget that Sega’s press release clearly states classic and modern Sonic “and his friends” will be in the game in some form, so this could swing either way depending on the extent
We will, of course, bring you a roundup of today’s previews from the reveal; that’s coming later today.

I’d consider that good news; Colors was hilarious!
OH HELL YES!!!
Oh, in fact, now that I think about it, the story will be somewhat revolved around time travel, and these guys will cleverly write the story so it won’t incredibly cliche and stupid (I’m looking at you Sonic 06).
I’ve got a theory on how the acting will work. Remember when Sega told RCS to make his Sonic voice deeper to show his age? This just could be why.
YES YES YES! Colours was hilarious! And a plot makes things more suspicous, more epic! That’s one of the things I loved about Unleashed, for example – the plot was excellent! I hope they pull of the same trick in Generations with the simple twist from Colours!
@ShadowTG I don’t even think Classic Sonic will have a voice at all. Modern Sonic will probably sound like he did in Colours, which he did rather well. Just hope he unblocks his nose before recording, though.
@Tom Cole he made a grunt in the trailer. So, unless it’s bad sound editing, means Classic Sonic’s gonna talk.
Colors story is a total shit. EPIC FAIL.
Colors’ story was okay, like most sonic games they are very basic.
Sonic colours story was hilarious. But nothing epic at all. Worst story actually :/
I want story’s like in SA2
You people are either 12, or completely retarded. Colors gameplay was made specifically for Sesame Street fans, and the gameplay was trial and error garbage. You should all be sent to an insane asylum for thinking that crap was better than Sonic 4.
*Poof*
@Ceejus:
Was that really necessary?
@Ceejus
Actually, I just turned 18 years old two days ago. I guess that means I’m completely retarded then. HURPY DERPY DERP!!

@Ceejus
Keep failtrolling and soon you’ll be hit by the banhammer.
@Ceejus
First of all, unprovoked, you just attacked everyone here with baseless insults. Second of all, you’re in the minority because Colors was widely well received. Sonic 4 had glaring flaws, and many of the “whiny classic fans” could back up their claims with evidence. All you have is “gameplay was made specifically for Sesame Street fans, and the gameplay was trial and error garbage.”
…
Thank you for the detailed explanation on why Colors was a bad game.
Once again, I”M ABOUT TO DIE OF AN EPICNESS OVERDOSE!!!
YES! We need Sonic open to everyone while being funny for both kids, adults, and fans.
To the Sonic Colors writers!
Eggmans p.a’s return!
Sonic Colors’s dialogue was like Sonic Heroes… except a lot more tolerable and about 10X funnier. Ceejus, shaddap.
Oh great (sarcasm). Colors writers better not go near SA3.
Yeah, the overall story/climax in colors i wasnt too big on, but it is defiantly the funniest sonic game. Not so much on the kid jokes or 4th wall stuff, but pretty much everything eggman says in that game is gold! I like a serious story with puns in between.
@ Ceejus
Uhh, hi. Where the fuck have you been? Colors is worthy of being one of the best Sonic games ever made since SA2. Sonic 4 was good, but SEGA can do better – as fans, we KNOW they can. With that being said, nuts to you, friend.
And now, I must go and die from Class Sonic cuteness overload. And horrah for Colors writers! <3
Guys, quit feeding the trolls.
But on topic, I found the writing in Colors was allllright. Certainly better than some previous games though…
Those guys? That’s great! More humor will be greater as Colors. I wonder what it’s like to do the similarities of the cute alien one. Hope it’ll be great for the anniversary. Last time, you did bring the worst because of this hedgehog + human relation. Well, at least you brought new characters to the party 5 years ago like Silver and Jet. 10 years is Shadow and Rouge. A few years after Shadow and his bat companion is Cream, Cheese, Blaze, and Omega.
Holy cow for humor!
Colors’ writing was a tad high on the cheese factor, but it’s definitely my favorite out of any other Sonic game.
God, no. Colors has the worst story of all the Sonic games.
NOOOOOOOOO!!!! SEGA, BAN THE HAPPY TREE FRIENDS WRITTERS FROM ALL SONIC GAMES!!! I HATED THE HUMOR IN COLORS! When I think of Sonic I think “Fast paced running, great platformer, great music, and AMAZING serious story”. COLORS WAS A JOKE!!!!!!!!! Honestly, humor in games DESTROYS FRANCHISES! Just look at Crash Bandicoot. Anyone still remember him? Check out his recent games.
SEGA please stop trying to please the younger Sonic fans or you might anger the older Sonic fans.
This is Sonic’s 20th ANNIVERSARY! I expected a cool, edgy story SEGA!
You know why I get Sonic games? Because they never get old. I still play Sonic games that came out years ago! With Sonic Colors, honestly I only bought it because it was a sonic title, and after I beat it, I haven’t touched it since.
What happened to Sonic’s Personality?! What happened to the “cool blue dude with a tude?!?!” Sonic was a B.A in ALL his games! EXCEPT COLORS! Sonic seemed like a 5 year old who didn’t know what he was doing in that game! TAILS SEEMED MORE MATURE THAN HIM!
SEGA, this is coming from a fan who known Sonic for years. Please take out humor in Sonic games, it only appeals little kids. Please bring back the Hedgehog we all grew up with…
