Think You’ve Seen All There is of Green Hill? Think Again
It appears the engine to Sonic Generations has been tweaked, if new video from GameTrailers is any indication.
Converted to YouTube by Woun, the two part preview, below, is accompanied by the narration of Patrick Riley and his phrases many know and love…phrases like “momentum based platforming” and “speed as a reward.”
The thing is, this time Riley may be spot on. The speed boost on Green Hill inclines appears to have been fixed, among other physics issues a few noticed when Generations gameplay was first revealed to the world.
On the modern side, we see more of the Modern Green Hill, a peek at Modern Sonic’s combo system, and in a moment of fitting irony, Sonic boosts off the course and to his death right as Riley explains how the cave area “shows an important part of the team’s design philosophy.” The comedic timing couldn’t be better if they tried.
Watch the video below (Now UPDATED with working links.) Thanks to everyone who sent this in, and Woun esepcially for the Youtube conversion (at least, while it lasted!)














I may seriously give myself vertigo if I ever play that modern Green Hill stage on a wide-screen TV… woof! That is ACTION!!!!!
YES!!! NO MORE UNCURLING!!!!!!!
badniks are too slow, though.
On modern gameplay video like around 3:33 GOOD GREAT AWESOME OUTSTANDING AMAZING!!!
damn! TSSZNEWS already has these videos
aw well lol. OMG!!! OMG!!! DOES MODERN SONIC HAVE ACTUALLY QUITE A DECINT AMOUNT OF STOP & GO PLATFORMING AFTER THE CAVE?!?!??! IS SEGA ON DRUGS?!??!?!
awesome! And on the site Sonic wiki, they say, Modern sonic is going to have alot more platforming sections like after the cave in green hill zone. and as long as the sections are fun, nicely placed (for example through out the level and not all near the end like on green hill) and basically as long as the platforming is common in the modern levels (bit like colours) then I’ll be happy!
And If I actually enjoy the gameplay this year for modern, because I love speed and platforming as Sonic is awesome and all, then if SEGA decide to keep modern Sonic speed gameplay for quite sometime – with even friends returned into the series,……..
as long as Sonic isn’t like Sonic Unleashed i’ll be happy…
also bring friends back in the future with fun gameplay!
SA style! lol
