Time to Race
Following up on the Famitsu scans we posted last week, Sega released minutes ago clean shots of Metal Sonic in action in Sonic Generations.
The set builds on what we’ve already seen through the scan, and adds several new shots showing off more of what appears to be a hybrid race and battle in a Stardust Speedway type environment.
Take a look for yourself in the gallery below. Chemical Plant screenshots were also released today, and you can find those here.

What about the Chemical Plant interactive hub and classic and modern Tails?
I SEE THAT HORN STICKING OUT OF THE SIDE! Stardust Speeeeeedwaaaaaay!
It seems as though they’re trying to blend the two levels together somehow, but I’m now positive that Stardust Speedway is at least being referenced in some way (Bad future perhaps?). I’m actually digging the look – the indoor part of the Metal Sonic race is much more what I expected from Chemical Plant, and it actually reminds me of SFR <3
Also, seconding Sonichedgehog – there are several pictures from Sega’s flickr not shown here, plenty of new Chemical Plant stuff that makes it look much more radical than I initially thought
I’m looking forward to seeing the Shadow, Knuckles, and classic Knuckles models. We haven’t seen those guys in a while now.
Well shit, scratch my last comment. The new article is up XD
@ChaoticFox
Maybe NOW, people will shut up about the level list.
@Penguin
Probably not, lol. While I’m sure every level in this game will feature the same amount of polish as what we’ve seen so far, I still can’t help but be a little disappointed by the inclusion of certain levels when Sonic’s history offers such a rich variety of better/more unique stages that would have been much more delightful to ALL FANS to see remade.
It’s not so much about thinking these levels will suck, but about the disappointment over what could have been a much more awe-inspiring collection. Either way, I can’t wait to see how the rest of the stages are handled… particularly Spagonia and Planet Wisp, as they are the two stages I am most skeptical about. It’s gonna take an awful lot of doing to make those feel as fresh and exciting as what I’ve seen so far.
@ChaoticFox
That’s what I suspected from the first blurry shots too. That they will put this after Chemical Plant so that they can blend stage elements while still making it BF Stardust Speedway. Pretty clever of them. Hopefully some other boss fights will take place in specialized zones too.
Is it me, or has Metal Sonic grown twice his size in the 8th picture?
Maybe he’s just closer to the camera though…
Looks like SEGA has used both Good and Bad Futures of Stardust Speedway. Classic Sonic gets the bad future and Modern gets the good future. Cool!
lol at Classic Sonic’s face in the 5ht one.
Box the game up and ship it. It is complete
(Joking, but seriously, I’m looking forward to all the different levels ^^) So far, two of my favorite levels of all time (Green Hill Zone and Stardust Speedway) Made it into the game. The only other favorite that didn’t make it was Labyrinth Zone, but it’s a necessary sacrifice. . . .
That looks like a lot of fun.
I love Classic Sonic’s face in the 5th picture.
Only one word can accompany these. Outstanding.
Metal Sonic looks he more powerful than ever, & he so wants Sonic to become roadkill.
Stardust Speedway looks fantastic with the crimson skies & the destruction Metal’s causing just to destroy Classic. So can’t wait for this game.
hmmmmm so Sonic has to …..Race to Win…if you will?
*BUZZER*
ohhhh he has to Race to Live…
*BUZZER*
Oh you just want me to shut up and stop shouting out lame puns?
*Ding Ding Ding*
…ok…sorry…I’ll stop…lol
In the background in that last picture… doesn’t that look like SaTAM Robotnick’s base?
to quote knives chos this looks AMMMMMAAAAZZZZIIIIINNNNGGGG!
“chao”
Does anyone else think that the large factory in the background on the 10th image is somewhat reminiscent of Robotnik’s base in the SATAM cartoon?
I’m just thinking that it’s possible there are some pokes at other facets of Sonic media in this game.
Of course I could be merely hoping to see things of this nature.
Sorry SockDrawer didn’t notice you beat me to it in regards to the SATAM observation.
@sonic4vssonic2:
Knives Chau?
@TheSheild:
I think it’s just a really complex futuristic building, (after all, this race does take place in the corrupted future.) but you may be right about the SatAM thing
I’m likin these pics!!!!
Where’s Robotnik? lol!
@TheShield: S’alright, I’m just glad someone agrees with me on this.
Here’s a picture of the SaTAM base for reference:

Although, now that at the screen closer, there’s actually a FERRIS WHEEL running through the building…
@BrandonTH: yes my english isn´t the best ;P
(looking @ 5th pic)… um… can someone say cutscene any one?? =|
it just looks like one to me. =|
sonic4vssonic2:
It’s fine. ^^ *laughs* And I thought “Chau” was Chinese XD
