Modern and Classic Sonic Heroes
In addition to the unveiling and new screenshots of Mushroom Hill on the 3DS, the console counterpart received a screenshot update as well.
Below in our gallery, you’ll find 12 new shots from both modern and classic components of Seaside Hill, the Sonic Heroes representation in Sonic Generations. Many fans feared this to be a throwaway stage in the face of Green Hill Zone, but that does not appear to be the case. For one, it appears Classic Sonic will traverse some underwater segments in stage, and there are some beautiful shots in the modern stage reminiscent of both Emerald Coast from Sonic Adventure and Adabat from Sonic Unleashed.
Take a look at it all, in 1080p HD, via the gallery below. We have shots of Spagonia on the way as well.


























@Greg
Now, what did you say about Classic Sonoc having a Green Hill clone…?
i see orcas. this looks promising! hopefully one will develop an unsightly taste for hedgehog flesh, resulting in a climatic chase, lol.
Underwater segments for Classic Sonic.
TOTALLY.
FREAKING.
CALLED IT.
…Man that stage is beautiful. One comment I don’t think Sonic games get enough of: the console games, even if they weren’t beloved, have some really beautiful graphics.
Picture 7 is practically Hydrocity Zone.
@Maddi
I have to agree with you on that statement.
why hello hydrocity bars. didnt think id see you here
My god, does Seaside Hill look beautiful or what?! Because the screenshots reminds me of playing Sonic Heroes on my PS2, running around smashing up Eggpawns as Knuckles, flying high in the sky as Tails, and running at the speed of sound as Sonic.
Sega/Sonic Team: kudos for the throwbacks to SA1′s Emarald Coast and Unleashed’s Jungle Joyride. I’ve enjoyed those stages for the music, detail, and graphics but as for Adabat, I would’ve love to explore in the small islands and the tropic jungles.
If they literally had sonic heroes style gameplay, I would deffinatly get this game. But right now I don’t plan to buy it. I want to save my $60 for a new phone or something. I’m
Sorry, and disappointed that I’m not that hyped for this game. I don’t trust sega anymore, so many attempts. Hate to break any fan’s heart but, I kinda gave up on the serious, however i still like sonic as a cool video game character! He’s the best hedgehog around!
WHALES!! i have a feeling there mite be a whale chase in this stage!!!
Hydrocity!
Man, I hope there’s unlockable music or something in this game.
I love the nods to other classic stages, even though they haven’t been included, are still referenced.
Hydrocity bars? I thought Labyrinth Zone was the only ones to have o.0 Jesus i need to play the originals again then, if i’ve forgotten that lol.
!!!cool!!!
OH YEEEES!! Seaside Hill
WELCOME BACK!
Dammit, Modern Sonic still doesn’t. Go through 3D underwater sections….what the fuck SEGA.
@Ricardo
Actually he can swim in the modern sections of Chemical Plant when he goes into the pink water and he’ll be able to swim in the underwater sections of Seaside Hill too.
@QuietGuy92 – I know, but I thought we would be able to see him in 3D underwater sections. I’m talking about how Modern Sonic should be able to be in an underwater 3D enviornment, but oh well. I guess it wouldn’t make sense either, but I shouldn’t judge the game yet just off some screenshots
Anyone else getting the Ocean Palace vibe more than Seaside Hill level?
I mean they ARE the same zone, but looking at the screenshots, I see Ocean Palace here more than the Seaside Hill level.
KILLER WHALES FTW.
Also: Is that a Hydrocity zone callback? I think yes B]
One thing that I love about the music so far was a call back to the classics. Namely: City Escape meshed with Endless Mine.
I honestly hope they do that for all post-Genesis Classic stages. I can see a possible Hydrocity/Labyrinth reference in the music coming up.
@Jeff
That would be rad-tastic, but I don’t really see it happening. One can always dream though!
@ChaoticFox
Doesn’t stop me from arranging!
…meh.
Yes, one can always dream, but a musician can always CREATE!
*cue bg explosions*
You know it’s a post-1998 Sonic game when the whales show up… =P
lol at bottomless pit warning sign in picture 6!
HYDROCITY POLES FTW!!!!!!!
@Gooch
Actually my mistake, i forgot they were in labyrinth zone too. But this stage is like adabat, emerald coast, hydrocity, labyrinth zone all cluster fucked into a masterpiece
I like how there are 3 hoops in the 2nd image, even though it’s JUST Sonic. If it turns out to really be just Sonic for this stage, it’ll feel really weird. Doesn’t change the fact that it looks amazing though!
TEH WHALES HAZ RETURNS TO EAT HIM xD!
.
@omachipthewisp96
Not really, it’s gonna be more of a Block rolling down to face plant sonic
Dude! I see a turtle shell in the lower right of one of the classic sonic levels! YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m getting a ocean palace vibe when looking at the screenshot of classic sonic being chased by a big spike boulder on picture 8 =D
Love these little tips to other levels theyve been hiding. I think a Seaside Hill Ocean Palace medley is in order.
Wow,the water in those pictures look simply stunning!I’m loving the surroundings. <3
Waster Level Called it first!
Water Level Called it first!
