Japanese Portal Updates
On Friday, under the cover of a post-E3 hangover, the Japanese portal for both editions of Sonic Generations received an update. While City Escape was not reflected in the update, the unveiling of the 3DS port in pictures was.
It’s afforded an opportunity to see more peeks of Green Hill and of the boss stage outside of the Nintendo Power preview. Still, there are serious concerns over how the game plays from E3 impressions, and Sega does not have a lot of time to fix them. We’ll be sure to get progress reports from now until November. In the meantime, the clean (and, in some cases, new) screenshots are available below via the gallery.

To be honest, going by the screenshots, the graphics looks rather… mediocre. I sure hope it looks better in motion…

Wow. This is looking worse. I’ll still get it though.
This just looks……ew.
Probably looks bad because it’s supposed to be in 3D, but it won’t show up in pictures.
way to go…. DERPS!
Still not sure of it uhh..:L I’m still leaving this version out…
Hey, I’m just glad we’re getting a console version. Imagine if this game alone was going to be Sonic Generations *shudders* . . . Although really, it doesn’t look TOO bad. They could definitely use some more mountains in the background. . . Maybe the 3DS wasn’t the greatest system to port this amazing 20th anniversary game . . .
“Maybe the 3DS wasn’t the greatest system to port this amazing 20th anniversary game . . .”
Nah, the 3DS is perfect for the job. We just need some developers that aren’t Dimps, is all.
@Komodin: scratch my statement. We’ll go with yours XD
I wonder/hope the console versions will have boss battles.
@Sonic 52789
I think there will be boss battles, what’s a sonic game without bosses?
The graphics don’t look terrible… just… mediocre at best. Sega, try harder.
@sonic52789
Why would you even wonder that? bosses are just as much a part Sonic’s history as everything else.
Muddy Hill Zone
I just saw a Resident Evil Mercenaries demo. There is absolutely not excuse for this piss poor pile of trash looking game I am seeing here. Sega are talking out there Sonic 4 holes when it comes to “fixing the game before release”.
That level needs a complete overhaul and no doubt the rest of the game looks just as poor. They haven’t got time. I am writing this one off from now until proven otherwise.
What is this? Splash Green Hill Zone? >:(
Wait, Sonic the Hedgehog 3′s final boss will be in this? God I hope the console get’s this boss. This was always one of my favorite bosses, and with a remix of the boss theme, hell…yes…
If it’s a 3DS exclusive boss, then…yeah that sucks, but I’ll still youtube it to watch the epic battle in motion.
Whilst im way more excited for the 360 version, i still think this is looking ok… not great but definitely ok. I’ll still get it day 1, i think modern sonics gameplay looks great fun (except that one spring to buzzer homing attack that fails EVERY time iv seen it) however classics is looking a bit naff. Still looks kinda fun, just wish they would do up the graphics and put more in the background lol
Even Sonic Rivals 1 & 2 had better looking stages than what we’re seeing right here.
I didn’t think the graphics looked nearly so bad ’til I saw it in motion and saw how horrible Sonic run animation was. Nothing can make a game look cheap like bad animation. Hopefully that’s something they’ll take the time to fix…
Sonic Blast on Game Gear anyone?
Hey Tristan Oliver I found some interesting screens in google you can see it in this web url

It looks so great
And its been 20 years….. 20 years of franchise and this is all they have to show for it.
Dude…. shut up about the twenty years shit!! Of course its been twenty years. The series has had its ups and downs but I frankly believe that if you really take that much issue with the development of the sonic franchise, than you should go ahead and make a better game, and stop putting people down for what they spent their lifes developing. You’re opinion is irrelvant if your going to fing spam.
@Repoman 5
No need to gets so harsh. I’m just stating my opionons and seeing if anybody has any thoughts on the matter of the franchise turning 20 and what would (have) made the franchise appeal to a broader audience. Not being spammy at all. Anyone care to testify?
