[The Dead Skin]

Green Hill is so full of life.

I know I pretty much said this before, but...

Why don't you take another look at the pre-E3 shots and then say that?

To quote OSM:

It definitely looks better, but the 'highway in the sky' design they chose is always going to be visually unappealing. And to be perfectly honest, the grey soles issue kind of annoys me. It's a really silly mistake to make, especially when they had it right to begin with. I know that sounds ridiculous, and though it's far from being a big issue, it certainly indicates a lack of care.

"Highway in the sky"?

Backgrounds and explorable geometry that are completely disjointed from each other.



Compared to...



Just to reiterate, the 3DS version is looking a lot better than it did and is actually quite pretty. It's been a while since we've been able to see such dramatic improvements in a Sonic game during development. The style they went with for the backgrounds is quite weak though, and really puts a dampener on the visuals. Not to mention the fact that the C&P level design is really annoying considering each level is only 1 act long per Sonic. It's definitely improved a huge amount and saying it did the bare minimum wasn't fair- it did the bare minimum before and now does a lot more. It's still lacking in many departments right across the board however.

So, what does everyone think that ? button on the touch screen does?

It wasn't in any of the early screens/footage.


Here are 2 of the screens released yesterday:

Classic


Modern


It oddly only appears in some of the new screens.

I'd guess it's "press for Omochao". So you probably won't be able to turn the guide on and off in this version, but you have to choose to call for his help whenever there's a prompt. Or maybe the button is forever there with the guide on, and Onochao gives you hints when you press it. I dunno, it'll be guide related in some way.

Its SUPER SONIC! I mean it would make sense.

[Shadzter]

Sonic Generations' little gamerpic thing on Xbox Live has been updated to what I assume will be used for the retail game. It's still Modern and Classic Sonic, but it now has them in a gold ring with the game's logo. It looks pretty cool. I think the only way you can see it right now is on the console Marketplace.

Now this one IS interesting... In the absolute BEST case scenario, this set of launch pads could ultimately lead to 3 (or possibly 4 depending on how fast you hit the middle two) different places. Aside from that though, I DEFINITELY like what I see. Thanks for the shots!

[frokenok3]

Oh Wow!!! DAT VIEW!!!

Thanks Neon!

[redhellc]

Cool thanks.
One more thing isn't this guy from unleashed, what is he doing on seaside hill?

These two pics are before and after. Nice. So to hit those boosters i have to go through these dudes. Reward to the maximum if you go at the left and right boosters.

But the one from adventure is a little different, and besides those from adventure weren't in heroes.

The heroes ones are a kinda of flying egg paws right?

Egg paws? :v But yeah, I kinda miss those flying ones. ;w; Hope they make appearances.

I'm liking the launch pads being used for alternate routes. Clever.

BY THE GODS, THEY'RE MULTIPLYING!!

D: Sonic has wandered into the Kamina Rock's natural habitat... and they don't take kindly to strangers roaming around in their grazing pools...

EDIT: Oooh, Is that a water 'light reflection' I'm seeing on those ruins? If so, <3

All screenshots do are make me even more desperate for gameplay videos.
