IIRC there was a Wild West area in Sonic Free Riders. Rocky Ridge.

D'oh!  I wasn't even considering the Riders games.  Good call.

There's also Molten Mine which has parts of a western.

Why did this become a Sonic Rivals topic, anyways?

I really want to play Rivals 2 now...

So am I the only one who's glad that SEGA didn't recreate Silver's shitty battle from 06? Because this fight looks awesome.

You're not the only one. I've never cared about his battle in 06. This looks so much better.

Look, this thread hasn't been about screenshots for ten pages now.

Probably because...even the new screenies are of areas we've seen. The only brand new stuff was Silver. I want some real screenshots of Crisis City, not just the trailer pictures.

I'm getting sick of chase bosses but Silver's fight regardless of being a chase looks miles better than the original fight. Oh well, at least eggrobo promises to be an interesting NONchase boss

I don't see how Silver's boss battle could possibly bring up any complaints.

I mean, none of us have really played the gamenor the battle or anything, but the original fight was an ugly, unfair, glitchy, anti-climactic buggy mess. 3 chase bosses is a valid complaint, but considering how utterly horrible the original fight was, this is definitely a step up.

Still, I'm sure there's more then just those two options; shitty ass glitchy ass boss fight or ANOTHER freakin' chase battle.

There realy isnt much to complain about since the original metal sonic battle was a race, and the original shadow battle was a chase battle.

I would prefer robotnik with a big laser, instead of the track falling apart in the metal sonic battle though. Oh well.

Our Game Master Magazine (Nr. 11/11, Nov. 2011) released today and in their preview are 2 interesting pictures.



One of them shows the Omochao-Shop, where you can buy abilities with your skill points.
The other one shows Modern & Classic Sonic in the Hub World, I think.

Thanks!
Ha ha! Wentos' Chao puppet (Chaoa? I forget its name) is on the stall XD

On the Xbox Live Game Marketplace tab, there's a special Sonic Generations page. It has 2 new Rooftop Run screenshots, as well as the Dreamcast and Modern era trailers.

Someone could post them...?


I wonder if it'll show any open paths...

Eh, you can't really see anything since they're both 2D. One shows Modern Sonic wall jumping, the other has Classic Sonic doing a trick.

Regarding the Silver boss fight, I knew this was coming really. I actually thought before the shots were even released, "Hmm... with the new boosty Sonic, how would a Silver boss fight work? Let's see, he has the ability to fly with his kinesis... perhaps we will chase him while he's flying?"

And what do you know?

Honestly, I'm with most of you guys, this fight looks amazing regardless of the overuse of chase fights. But you know, from what I gather from each of Modern's fights, each one is clever in its own unique way. We have an idea of how Silver might go down, then there's what we've learned from the latest demo leaks exactly how the Shadow fight goes down, which is damn clever. With Egg Dragoon, it appears that there might be a skydiving section (awesome change-up for a boss fight!) and it even stops at one part where we saw the Egg Dragoon deploying those crusher plates/wall jump pads around Sonic. As far as the Perfect Chaos fight is concerned, from what we've gathered so far between the extreme slowing down of the boss trailer and what's been given away by a leak of that blabbermouth Omochao, you're definitely not boosting on a straightaway. The environment around you definitely comes into play. there are sections where you have to run alongside buildings to get to Chaos, as well as reaching springs to reach a high enough elevation to hit his brain fin... thing. Plus, if your target is stationary, you're technically not chasing it, you're approaching it.

It's all very cleverly executed stuff, much better than all those boring chase battles from Unleashed. the mastermind behind this game needs to never leave, because this game is miles ahead of anything we've gotten for a long, long time.
