Release Dates and Release Editions Speculation

[Blue Blood 16573]

Just as a (stupidly early) heads up, a couple of retailers are listing the game already. With a "Holiday 2011" release, you can place your bets on the game getting a November release like every main game since ShTH. I also thought it might be fun to take a guess about special editions releases. Last year saw SEGA release a Limited Edition version of Classic Collection in Australia and Spain, and various special editions of Colours across the PAL regions. Neither of the games were particularly huge releases, so I like to hope we get a special edition of Generations, complete with a swanky case/tin and a figurine. Got any hope yourselves?

Thanks for the info

The price sounds about right. But I'd probably say....November 14th. Kinda like how Unleashed HD and Colors did. Sounds about the time Sega usually releases Sonic games.

[Super Choop 3]

Not really a surprise. It'd have to be released sometime this year. And, from the looks of things, they've already got plenty of work done on the game anyway.

Well, duh? The teaser trailer told us the game was coming out 2011. It's just that no specific date has been given yet, and likely won't be for a while.

[Robogaman 134]

My guess is mid to late November. Just about every recent Sonic game has been released well close to my B-day. =P

[KrazyBean 2643]

Pre-Ordered. Just 7 more months left

[Legendary Aqua 1530]

November 15 is my guess. it's a Tuesday and square in the middle of the month.

A CD soundtrack sampler.

[Professor Zolo 488]

I dunno. maybe if they package it with an art book of a selection of the past 20 years or something.

Or, hell, just one of Jazwares' Classic Sonic figures, like they did for Colours?

[DaLoLz 5]

Pre-Ordered. Just 7 more months left

I can't even pre-order it at amazon.de But I would like to.

My gueses are November 11. ; 18 or 25. Alot of games were released Fridays. This are the fridays in this month. .. or I mix this up with something else.

I want a good looking statue of Classic and Modern Sonic in a team-ish pose with my limited edition, a big one, like the Sam Fisher statue that came with Splinter Cell Conviction. *pets his Sam statue*

Who doesn't?

I actually want a Naked Snake(Metal Gear Solid 3) life-size statue as well.

My girlfriend has a Naked Snake statue, not life-size, but a statue at least. ^^

While we're talking about a LE/CE of Generations, this is something I made back on the day of announcement:

Nope, I'm a big boxart-fanartist so I took my time to make that, it's kind of my thing. ^^

Still working on the regular full-boxart version. I want more Zones showed before I finish it.

The background on the box there is a photographic re-make of the GHZ background.

Nice!

Could you do a 1920x1080 Wallpaper of the cover?

And by the way. I actually don't need this. I have all games on this list (besides Episode 2). But I want them all collected together on my 360.

And that would be it worth. This box would be actully 100€. 60€ for Generations. And the total of all games together would be at least 100€. lol ^^

(For Germany speaking.. Yes the games are realy that expensive over here)

Sweden is worse, trust me. I bought games in Germany when I was there back in 2009.

I might make one in that size, the current one is originally in 1280x800, but I am intending on re-render it so, we'll see.

As for the games that came along, I just wanted it to see as if we got the games that represent Sonic throughout the years, I have them as well, S1-3+A on 360 even, so yeah, I barely need it either.

Pretty good to see someone who suffer among the prices of the games as well. ^^''

Fortunately there is amazon. At the first 1~3 Weeks it is like 20€ cheaper.

I would be very pleased if you are render and share it. ^^ That picture looks really awesome!

GameStop's oddly changed their placeholder release date from December 31st 2011 to January 1st 2012:

[Steve 1275]

That actually wouldn't be so bad if it came in early 2012. It would give them plenty of time to polish it up and make it worth the wait.

not to mention Skyrim will have just started to wear off for me hehe

[PC the Hedgehog 227]

Amazon lists the release for November 22nd in the US.

[Sami 10374]

I would love a special edition. If it came with an artbook a free (preferably Blu-Ray) OST, a super cool metal case, and some download codes for some of the classics or something, I think I'd just die and go to heaven.

Or better yet... Why not take a queue from Namco Bandai...?
