Discusses Sonic CD, 4 Relationship
Following on from the post Ken Balough made to clarify some details about Sonic CD and it’s placement in the timeline, a fan video has surfaced on YouTube that discusses the Sonic the Hedgehog timeline in more depth as well as the role of Metal Sonic. Interestingly between Sonic Generations, Sonic CD and Sonic the Hedgehog 4 SEGA seem to be pushing time travel as a big theme (Sonic goes back in time in Generations).
Check out the video below, or over at YouTube. Be sure to stay tuned for any more SEGA or Sonic news from PAX this weekend.














So if Sega is using the Retro Engine, would it be possible to get a combined S3&K with original menus, 60FPS and widescreen via digital distribution?
and not by Backbone and having actually challenging hard to get achievements?
Please SEGA do it Ill buy it even if its 1200 Points!
Could sonic cd be released n hd?
I remember sonic as far back as when i had the Saturn as a little kid. After playing Sonic 3/ sonic and knuckles (with 3d Blast being my first) i became attached to them, and grew up watching the old cartoon, and playing the series and collecting them.
As for Metal Sonic, i never got to play Sonic Cd until the collection series came out. But as for his appearances, he made a cameo in Adventure, was a 2 player battle character in SA2: Battle (along with Chaos and Tikal on a one time only since then), and was the “surprise” main antagonist of Sonic Heroes, having turned on eggman and locked him up.Yet, he vanishes till now in generations and Sonic 4 (but nothing more as past tense events/revisited events), but was also Sonic’s rival as Hyper Metal Sonic in Sonic the movie but fell into lava.(but there really no say in Sonic the movie having any canon).
As for gaming development…not every title in a franchise is going to be perfect. And only some titles can stick with the same formula. Sometimes its all about eperimentation: see what can work, improve on what doesnt. Same as any artform (being an art school student and a game designer by spare-time hobby, i’d understand that.)If its fail and miss, scrap itand try sommething else.
i smell a rat…. a rat named Aaron Webber.
Sonic Generations is suppose to please All sonic fans then why the fuck are they talking about Sonic 4 and Sonic CD with Sonic Generations?
I smell… ignorance… and it stems from the posts made by Manic the Hedgehog.

Ignorant troll is Ignorant.
Y’know, all this wangst over Sonic 4, CD and the fan input is making me hate the Genesis games.
So when he says the CD spindash he means the figure 8 thing right? Cause i used to love that
It isn’t such a bad thing tat they are basically using CD to tie in Sonic 4. They at least a trying to give it a placeholder in the timeline. Some people went along with it being before Sonic 2 (since it was in progress of development during Sonic 2). I also have high hopes for Generations.It looks very promising. Only 2 months, then we will finally see the final product.
Thumbs up to SEGA!
