JP Site Updates with More Media
The Japanese portal site for Sonic Generations updated today with new information and new screenshots for Sky Sanctuary Zone. Those shots are below in the gallery.
With the updates, we’ve also learned a little more about the story. On the console version, it is as you remember: Sonic and friends hold a party, and the mysterious Time Eater sucks them into a vortex. Sonic wakes up in a white world, and that’s where the adventure begins. On the 3DS version, only Tails is in trouble. The updates also confirm Shadow and Silver will have a role in the 3DS version.
Let’s get you to those new screenshots below.

“On the console version: Sonic and friends hold a party, and the mysterious Time Eater sucks them into a vortex. Sonic wakes up in a white world, and that’s where the adventure begins. On the 3DS version, only Tails is in trouble.”
And we’ve found another reason why the HD version will kick the 3DS version’s ass.
Sky Sanctuary looks beautiful and filled with exploration as usual.

Ooooo, crap no one cares about, certainly it’s better. Hey, remember when everyone only wanted Sonic, Tails, and Robotnik/Eggman in the games?
@DonnyKD
Because people like to spend their hard-earned money on a quality prodcut (HD version) than on a inferioer cash-in (3DS version). Maybe you’ll understand that.
Oh, and more thing:
You’ve forgotton about Amy and the Chaotix and how scrapped characters like Mighty, Ray, Fang, Bean, and Bark will always be better and interesting than the likes of Shadow, Silver, Big, Marine, Chip (man, were those guys shitty and annoying or what?)
@Quietguy
FUCK YOU, CHIP IS… Yeah, his voice is annoying as Hell… XD
@Stephen
Well, its not my fault he was annoying and was unintertesting to begin with.
So fuck you too, kid.
Nah Amy, mighty, ray, bean & bark aren’t interesting at all. Shadow is alot more cooler and I enjoyed Chip more than those other FORGOTTEN characters.
@Renzy
If you like Shadow and Chip, more power to you. But those forgotten characters are far more interesting than both of those guys combined.
@Quietguy

The fuck does that have to do with ANYTHING?
Personally, I’d rather have to just rescue Tails. Sure, I’d miss Knuckles, but considering the other characters’ roles in this game, I wouldn’t be missing out on anything other than a few cheeky minigames. Ironically, that reminds me of the DS version of Colors… I guess that version was the superior product because it had more characters and more minigames?
(EDIT – Inflammatory -T)
@QuieyGuy hmm.. Not to me, they’re not really all that special to me. Even in the comics
But back on topic: it’s amazing how much time SEGA has put into creating these lvls, I’m goin to really enjoy exploring every inch of every lvl
Oh, I just now figured it out: They chose Sky Sanctuary for this because it leads directly to the Death Egg Robot boss battle.
@Tristan
Thanks for blocking Ricadro’s post. His response was gonna be the same idiotic nonsense as always.
@ChaoticFox
Oka, so what I’ve typed about the characters was irrelevant. Sure some people would stick to rescuing only Tails instead of everyone else.
I meant superior in terms of gameplay like the HD version (classic stages with physics ALMOST as good as the originals and the modern sections becming more complex with platforming and exploration) and the 3DS version (classic stages with even WORSE physics than S4′s with copy/paste level layouts and the modern sections are literally “boost-to-win”).
“You’ve forgotton about Amy and the Chaotix and how scrapped characters like Mighty, Ray, Fang, Bean, and Bark will always be better and interesting than the likes of Shadow, Silver, Big, Marine, Chip”
Sorry but they’re all as bad as each other.
@Danny
Well, that’s your opinion.
360/PS3 wins over 3DS because 360/PS3 has all Sonic’s friends in story than 3DS verstion just Sonic, Tails, Eggman, Silver and Shadow. No Amy, Knuckles, etc…Ugh…
@QuietGuy
You say the same damn thing over and over in every thread.
There are Sonic friends with more depth than you at this point.
Fine, I’ll stop talking about Sonic’s friends from now on so everyone can calm their asses down. So I fuck up on my post. Yes, its MY fault I’ve started this.
This friend business only lead to stupid shit.
(EDIT – Inflammatory -T)
So, who’s with me that Tristan should change “Trackbacks / Pings” to “Trackbacks / pingas”
Back ontopic:
Am I the only person getting BOTH versions? Come on seriously, the 3DS has ONLINE MULTIPLAYER the HD ver. can’t say that!
The Time Eater had gears on its back…somehow, the fact that Classic Robotnik hasn’t been revealed yet is becoming even more suspicious…
@Heat
I’m getting both. I think the 3DS version looks fine graphically. As good as anything else out on the 3DS right now anyway.
I am also not hung up on any particular type of physics so long as I can play it just fine.
Multiplayer probably won’t be a selling point for me.. I’m at the age where finding someone with a 3DS much less a 3DS and a Sonic game is a non-issue. But it will be nice to have a Sonic game to play on the go again.
Shadow: Has been proven that he can be good, SA2 style.
Silver: has the potential to be good.
Chip: the first time since SA1 I haven’t been annoyed by your helper (not sure what else to call them) in a Sonic game, cuz Chip has somewhat-normal voice in comparison to the others, and he is a serious legend in the final parts of the game.
Oh, and HeatPhoenix, I’m with you on Trackbacks/Pingas.
I want to say something:
I was a complete retard about the character thing and I’m sorry. If you want to insult me, for what I’ve said, go ahead. I deserve it.
I’ve could’ve just ignore it and moved on but my dumbass had to make that stupid reply.
I know people make mistakes and I just want to get this off of my chest.
Again, sorry for being a complete retard.
@Quietguy92 It’s okay.
@Sonic123456
Thank you.
@QuietGuy
Are the classic physics in 3DS really Sonic 4? I’ve read countless previews that say that those physics are accurate, and sometimes, I’ve even read comments that say the 3DS classic physics are better than the HD physics. The videos at least make it seem pretty accurate. Sonic 4 had stuff like no momentum, uncurling etc. Unless you are referring to the really old E3 demo, then all those issues have been fixed.
But yes, I agree that the modern levels don’t quite look full enough.
@A
Regarding the physics, they’re almost like the one as the physics from the HD version. Maybe I’ve been focusing too much on the E3 demo. The physics have improved from certainly from Sonic 4. And the level design on the modern levels need some work.
And another thing: I apolgize about calling Generations 3DS a cheap knock-off,
Its actually looking decent just like Heroes and Unleashed.
@QuietGuy
It’s all okay. Truth be told, when I first heard rumors of a 3DS version, I fantasized about a 3D game downported from the console versions. That might not have been the best option, but when the Nintendo Power preview came out and I saw the 2D nature of the game, I was let down.
The reason I bought the 3DS was so I could play a 3D Sonic game on it, something SEGA actually mentioned at a conference. I wasn’t exactly expecting this, though it’ll be fun anyways.
But above all, thank you for being so polite. I really appreciate it.
@A
You are totally welcome.
@sonichedgehog
Classic Robotnik is indeed confirmed for Big Arm 3DS. He should also be in Giant Mech HD.
What’s Silver doing in the 3DS version? I sorta get Shadow in Radical Highway, but Silver? What does that mean, an 06 or Rivals level on 3DS? I thought we were getting Rush and Rush Adventure…
Or maybe it’s according to 06 where Silver is from the same time as Blaze. Plotholes, plotholes.
Breathtaking.
