North American PSN demo coming October 25th
That’s right, the Sonic Generations demo is coming a day early according to a SEGA blog post. The release is for North America and Europe through Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network, with the PSN demo still set for a October 25th release in North America.
The stage being featured is still the same: Green Hill Zone, with Classic and Modern Sonic. Regarding time of release, it has not been mentioned, so any confirmations will be added to this post as soon as we hear them (so stay very, very tuned!).
Will you be playing the demo, or do you want to be as fresh as you can be on release? Are you excited to see how Modern Sonic plays? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
Maybe this time, there won’t see a slew of leaks.














Meh, still seeing that music game demo thingie. I’ll leave for work in a couple hours and be back several hour later. We’ll get it before we all die, so I won’t worry much.
Wait i forgot. I’m sure Aaron Webber has something to do with the Second demo not being released today.
I should’ve realized that earlier but now i do now seeing the fact that he hates Modern Sonic.
@Manic
…Just… Shut the fuck up…
Go back to bed Manic the grown ups are talking.
Hmmm, almost 7pm and still not here… I’m beginning to think SEGA made a mistake here
Is that guy for real..?
On Portugal PSN (Europe) still nothing…
@SonicTailsKnuckles1 I’m also from Portugal and theres nathing do you live in lisboa
Nothing on Xbox Live in North America… is SEGA gonna release it or not? We’re more than halfway through the day…
@Blade the hedgehog No, im on Porto and its already 19:12 and nothing -.-
Here still nothing: 20h15 in Belgium.
Greets from Belgium!

Someone’s said to me why people are getting confused, and slightly nonsensical as it is, it clears up the confusion quite a bit:
PSN’s EU demo for Sonic Generations comes out tomorrow morning for those in Europe. However, the demo’s release probably being based on US time zones, if you were to download the EU demo in the US, you would get it tonight. So going by the US time zones the demo is released tonight. But the morning for us Europeans.
You guys are stiil in luck.In Turkey,its 9.30 pm -,-
@Jansen ‘ShadowTG’ McCord
I don’t think so. The main European time that they mostly go by is 6 hours ahead of U.S. Central Time. That would mean that in Europe it’d have to come out at 5:59am or sooner for Europe. Or something along those lines.
Oh well. I don’t really care. It’s just a demo.
To Europeans: Anything yet?
@Emily
Exactly. The demo still comes out tonight for people in US, but in the morning for people in Europe)
Sega’s trollin us?
@SonicTailsKnuckles1 ok
Somos os únicos aqui que conseguem falar esta lingua lol qual é o teu nome verdadeiro o meu é Luis Palmares
@SonicTailsKnuckles1 só mais uma coisa tens ps3 se tiveres podes dar-me o teu nick o meu é d33322111 ( eu sei que o meu nick é estúpido)
damit i’m in school, i guest i’ll see what happens when i go home.(xbox)
Did SEGA ever say that the one in the U.S. would actually be on the 18th? Cuz looking at the article it sounds like only XBLA for Europe is.
But then there’s that whole “updates everywhere at the same time” deal. But ppl keep saying that’s for PSN, then that it’s actually for XBLA, then that’s it’s for PSN. Which is it?
And you know what, maybe the demo does come out today but we don’t see it til the update. Kinda makes the release date pointless but still possible. lol
Opá, temos aqui pessoas falando em português ^^
Minha PNS ID é hinzplay3 =)
Well the Xbox Marketplace was updated with two demo’s earlier (Dance Central 2 and Need for Speed: The Run specifically) that appeared simultaneously. Shouldn’t Sonic Generations have been there too?
Its past 8pm here and still nothing.
alright I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada… and i made an account on my PS3 with a PSN saying I live in London, England… it’s 3:41 where I live so I’m not sure what time that would mean it is in England… and I’m waiting for the demo… plus I never had a PS3 to play the first one… it’s sad since I bought the PS3 to actually play Sonic Generations and i won’t get it until Cristmas, and I feel like I won’t be able to play the demo…
when does the demo will be out?
quando é que a demo tará disponivel?
Yeah it´s out…but only for goldmembers… fuck you microsoft and fuck you SEGA! -_-
It just went up for American Xbox owners!!!
I can confirm this is now on XBL in the UK for Gold Members. I am downloading it as I write this comment.
ahhh still no psn demo only singstar orz
Make a new Xbox Live account to get the one-month free trial. ^_^
@Shan the Hedgehog
I heard something about making an EU account? I think you can get the demo that way. I’m not entirely sure as I don’t have a PS3.
I hate microsoft so much!!! The demo is there but it says you need a gold membership to have it!! That is some BS!!! These 2 weeks will be painful without a taste of wat the game is like cuz stupid XBL wants a gold membership 4 the demo! Why do u need a frikin gold membership just to play a demo of a game that is coming out 2 weeks from now! smh
Heads up for those of you who don’t have Gold: you can create new accounts (or could) and you get a month of gold free. Just a tip.
@omachipthewisp96 That’s what you pay for Gold for. Exclusivity.
It’s not on the American Xbox Live Marketplace site. Do I have to actually look for it on the 360 itself?
@Ophelia It isn’t on the EU site either but it is on the console marketplace under demos. you might find it there, it’s listed after the 2 demos that were released earlier.
Nooo!!! ;n; I was excited for the ps3 demo coming out tomorrow :T bleh… 25th huh?? Naah.. in that case i better wait for the full release :9
@Sonjchedgehog
I made a euro account…
It’s not on xbox.com, but it does show up on the US dashboard under demos (it’s about 3 from the left).
Any news on EU PSN?
nothing as of yet (for EU) still just that dancestar party game T.T come on sega
it is on 360 but that is my roomates system so fat chance I will be able to play it.
@The Dorset Gamer thanks alot man! i jus mad a different account and im downloading the demo now!!
@Shan the Hedgehog : Just be patient. PSN in all regions never updates typically until much later in the day. I remember I had to wait until 10 or 11 my time (which is your time too as I live in the same area) before Sonic 4 was updated onto PSN. So I’d expect it more around 5/6 our time (since that’s about 10/11 Europe time).
I guess I will see if this is out when I return from work then.
Having played the demo through a couple of times I have to say I am absolutely pumped for this now. I’m still trying to work out how tricks off of jumps work in modern though. I sometimes do it, I sometimes don’t. How do you actually do it?
Apparently they fixed it so you cant make an account outside of your country…RIGHT WHEN I WANT THE DEMO. THANK YOU MURPHEY’S LAW
Hey just realized, what about Japan and Australia?
@darkgomugomu
No they didn’t, they can’t even.
Haha, only for Goldmembers, has anyone here seen Austin Powers Goldmember?
Just finished playing the demo on my Xbox 360 several times. And it is a great game, I was afraid that the fact that it played like Colors/Unleashed it might not be that great. But now i am even more excited for the full game, so these next two weeks are going to be extremely unbearable.
Although I am having trouble with jumping tricks. :-/
