Edit:
I’m also going to profess my love of Crisis City Modern’s music. I’m pretty sure they found some homage to every section of Crisis City’s sections in that one track alone and it sounds awesome everytime I hear it. Ohtani did a damn good job on this. Dat Violin son!
Yeah Crisis City’s theme in Modern is amazing IMO, one of my fav. in the game.
Also my fav. boss fight in Generations is Silver, granted it’s not the hardest boss in the game, but the way it’s done seems proper for what Silver could do.
From watching Sonic X yesterday-

I shit you not, Sonic and Shadow were kicking each other for like 5-10 seconds in the episode lol.
Stay classy, Sega.

… but then again, I liked the Japanese intro… 
Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom, Sonic Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom~
IIRC, the vocalist for the original Sonic Boom passed away didn’t she?
For real?
She didn’t die.

When i’m reading this page, it says there’s an extended version and a Crush 40 version of Sonic Boom, interesting.
Oh my bad then ^_^;
Still wonder why they couldn’t license the original song? It’s pretty catchy~
gotta go fast
super sonic racing.
everybody
something about Sonic X rubbed me the wrong way, just like everyone else I grew up watching the sat morning version. Nothing has come close to that since.
did that chick that song most of the tracks sonic racing…what was her name?

The Sonic X comic had some nice issues, even though it’s VERY light hearted compared to the main Archie series.
…but the best thing the comic did was give Eggman this-

Sonic CD HD (to no surprise) is listed on XBL with screen shots and a video trailer with something everyone’s already seen before (I think). Right now, I’m in the mood for ranting about my first impressions of this game that I own on the PC.
Sonic CD was one of those games I never really dug in to. I never had a Sega CD, so it wouldn’t be until I got my hands on the PC version over a decade ago. Later, I also emulated it. I remember running through it once each time, not really understanding what I had to do as far as make a good future so I never really took my time to dig deep through the game. It wasn’t until recently that I searched a playthrough on youtube and it started to make tons of sense. I also couldn’t help but notice the level design, as there was only one level in the entire game that has a pitfall.
So, I couldn’t help but fire up the old disc on my laptop with Sonic CD fix and even though it works, it doesn’t work as good as I’d like it to. In 256 colors, there was no way to see the title bars in the windows and there was no way to configure my USB pad because it kept freezing from every attempt. The only option was the default settings on the computer which was the keyboard. (Arrows and spacebar - nothing too hard, but it did present an ever so slight challenge.)
Otherwise, the game itself ran almost okay (the anime cutscenes wouldn’t show) but it was 100% playable. Last time I played this, I just wanted to run Sonic through the stages. This time, I really wanted to do some exploring and from the first level, all I really have to say is WOW. You get a sense that these levels are vertically huge just from the getgo and it doesn’t let you down later on. The platforming in this game, or just the first few acts reminds me of other fun platformers I’ve played as a kid that were not Sonic 1 through Knuckles. It was really the biggest sense of fun I’ve received from a Sonic game in a long time. It felt… pure. It’s nice to know that once you realize what you have to do, the game encourages exploring and it’s just on the same level you get with the speed.
The thing I’ve always appreciated about CD was that it looked like Sonic 1 and not like Sonic 2/3. Those little things such as Sonic’s original slightly faded, clay-like color, his walk animation which was smoother somehow in CD compared to Sonic 1, the rough edges of the foreground and simplistic background, and I realized that the sound of his classic Sonic’s jump in Generations came from this game. Sonic is fast in this game with 3 different running animations to differentiate his speed. Sonic CD feels like a game where Sonic Team probably did everything right. For these big, little reasons, I worry I just may like this game more than Sonic 3 & Knuckles… or at least parts of it.
So yeah, I didn’t play through it all because I’d just rather wait for the HD version to do more exploring and more running through stages and earning the freedom to roam through them. In the end, I’m kind of glad that Sonic CD for me was a game that I kind of left as an unfinished journey, whereas Sega seemed to hold on to it like an ace up their sleeve with it’s limited ports.
I really hope Sega releases this game some time during the first half of December since it’s due date went from “4th quarter” to “holiday season” to “December” and December’s right around the corner. I’m SO hype for this game.
Sonics Classic jump sound in generations comes from Sonic 1. Sonic CD uses the same sound effect.
Sonic CD is ok…I tend to side with Specs when it comes to that game.
Sonic X anime has some good concepts but I feel the execution is poorly done at times, like when Eggman conned the world into thinking he’s making up for his past evils.
Here’s some more snapshots from me watching the past few eps.-
Well at least now we know how he gets all that money to build those giant air/space fleets.
KNUCKLES CAN BREATHE IN SPACE!
Seriously Espio and Vector are the only legit members of the Choatix.
So…anyone pick up the 3DS version yet? thoughts? impressions? I was thinking about it earlier because I at least wanted to hear how the music went. I’m happy to hear that it sounds like they redid ‘Supporting Me’ for the Biolizard fight. I really want to hear a higher quality version of this.
Edit:
Some of the comments on youtube bring up a good question…WTF did they do with Biolizard’s hind legs?
Between King of Fighters XIII, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Sonic Generations, and Sonic Gens 3DS . . . I can’t afford any of them. T_T
Sadly money is the issue for me too. I wont be able to pick up the 3DS version until Dec 10th at least. I did at least get all of my Christmas shopping done :tup:
I’m trying not to spoil too much for myself by watching youtube vids, but the game looks like a lot of fun. I don’t think (for me at least) it’s going to be a risk picking it up.
My son is now into Sonic X. We’re watching the english dub though so he can understand it (he’s only 3). It’s growing on me. He’s been taking my classic Sonic action figure and running around the house yelling “go faster Sonic!” I love my son :lol:
Cute. Reminds me of my nephew, lol.
To my ears, they’re different but not day/night different. … unless the difference is simply the quality of sound used on the CD version. I dunno how to really describe the difference. CD/Generations sounds smoother/bassier than the Genesis titles?
