CAN YOU SEE ALL OF ME
WALK INTO MY MYSTERY
STEP INSIDE AND HOLD ON FOR DEAR LIFE
Summer Game Fest was certainly a thing. I guess Dewritos Pope was right to tell us all to not get too excited. But there were a few highlights, and one of them is the remaster of Sonic Generations, Sonic x Shadow Generations.
Not only are you getting a polished version of the original game, but also a full-on Shadow campaign. This campaign will come with a Sonic Frontiers-esque open world, as well as new abilities as you explore Shadow’s dark origins*.
*I wouldn’t expect much about the giant blind, quadriplegic lizard that farts bubbles out of its back button. I don’t know what Gerald was on with that one, frankly.
Oh yeah, and Black Doom is back for this one. Aside from this being the Year of Shadow, the game also gives Generations the polish you’d expect from a current gen game. But it doesn’t end there; also included are “new collectibles, bonus content, and more, including a Chao rescue mission in every level and the return of high-energy pinball gameplay in the Casino Nights Zone”. Pretty good deal, especially as Casino Nights Zone was DLC for the original game.
The Digital Deluxe Edition not only gives you access to the game three days early, it also comes with extra music tracks from Earlier Sonic and Shadow games, behind-the-scenes art, an extra shadow skin and level, and also a separate skin that makes Shadow look like Terios, his initial concept for Sonic Adventure 2. You need to understand how deep a cut that is; search is polluted thanks to some jackass making Terios his “Original the Character” way after the fact.
If you pre-order the game, you’ll also get a skin for Sonic that gives him his Sonic Adventure 2 look. If you pre-order the Day One edition, you get Gerald Robotnik’s Journal, a “28-page logbook recording Gerald’s innermost thoughts and drawings while creating Shadow and the Ark Space Station”. Also, those that pre-order on Playstation 4 or 5 will get bonus extended prologue animations with never-before-seen deleted scenes.
So, be prepared to be turned towards the darkness, and made to like Nine Inch Nails (the band) and JNCO Jeans. Sonic x Shadow Generations launches crossplatform on October 25th.
