According to TSSZ (with another "a friend of a friend" type source), Classic Sonic will apparently have the Homing Attack ability in the 3DS version. Whether or not it's unlockable or available from the get-go, is uncertain. Also, the Homing Attack will not be available for Classic Sonic in the Console version. And Emerald Coast (as in, not Neo Green Hill) and Radical Highway are "confirmed" for the 3DS version.

Oh god. If that Homing Attack isn't optional, the fanboys will RAGE!

Are you guys really buying this friend of a friend of a friend of a friend Bull? until i see some TGS footage i ain't buyin shit. that could've come off /v/ for all we know!

[Shaddix Leto Croft]

I don't really buy into this HA for Classic Sonic for Generations 3DS and for all we know it could be left over code for the HA from Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 1.

Quoted for the Truth.

Lol it better be optional. Don't wanna see no reticules in my classic gameplay

[Nintendoga]

uh guys, he may be telling the truth. Look at this video. At 10-11 seconds in, you can see the homing attack reticule as classic goes into the air and passes the buzzbomber.

^ It should be going gold in a few weeks. I mean the game does release at the beginning of November. (Literally)

Holy shit ! Optional homming attack upgrade for Classic Sonic ! How can SEGA fuck up that much !

*sigh*

It's obvious it's an optional upgrade. There's no way in hell Classic Sonic will start with the homming attack.

[Doctor MK]

Homing attack for Classic Sonic, eh? That's a pretty interesting move. I can see why it would get on a few people's nerves, but ultimately I don't see why it's such a big deal, especially if it is an optional move. Or, simply, you could just not use it. Unlike Sonic 4, we don't have uncurling this time around, so it's not like you have to use the homing attack to avoid being hit while airborne. Sonic will be rolled up into a ball and be able to smash badniks as per usual. No one will be forcing you to hit that jump button a second time, and heck, if the classic 3DS stages are mostly just rehashes of the original stages anyway, it'll add a new way of playing them so they don't feel quite so similar. Maybe.

I honestly think that, assuming this news is true, it's just a way of catering to the "new" classic fans, i.e. the ones who've got into it with Sonic 4. Technically that is part of the classic era now, so it's not hugely inappropriate. Sure, it's ol' Chubby McBlackEyes who has the move instead of his modern counterpart in the classic setting this time around, but let's not get into that argument again.

[Johnny Boy]

Homing attack for lil classic? Please be optional.

3DS version comes out later then the console version.

[Badnik Mechanic]

Edit: Please bare in mind I don't follow every spec of detail as often as you lot does, so most of this is definately new to me, and it was also new to Svend when I asked him about it.

So guess who was at Gamefest earlier today?

Also I only have 10 min left to type this so I must be VERY brief with my feedback.

Sonic Generations 3DS: didn't like it that much. I admire the effort which has gone into re-creating the levels and giving them a new updated feel which is very welcome indeed. I praise Dimps for putting the effort into accurate re-creating the classic stages which giving them updated visuals, physics didn't really bug me at all, it feels a lot more in tune with classic gameplay than Sonic 4 did if you don't want to learn how to play a new Sonic game.

3D effect is totally useless, there is no reason other than a gimick use as to why this couldn't just be a normal DS game or heck even a digital download. One guy on the other 3DS pod was quite outspoked at how horrible the 3D effect was.

It is near impossible to do a spin dash with the analogue stick thing. D-pad or bust.

Oh yes. During the Mushroom hill level, the game at times had a big delay when trying to load up paths.

Generations HD

I played on both the PS3/Xbox 360 version for both stages of Green hill and... CITY ESCAPE.

The build I played of the Green Hill is a lot different to that of the demo we had on XBLA and the PSN. Not sure if this has been discussed or not (since I don't check this area a lot) the issue of where sonic hit an enemy in relation to how high he bounces appears to have been fixed. Controls seem to be nicer also.

City Escape.

For those who said 'this looks easy' or... you can just boost through it... I point at you and laugh, you are in for a shock! City Escape is a genually tricky stage which COMMANDS great platforming skill, you CANNOT boost through it as modern or classic sonic, there are open areas for modern sonic which means boosting is impossible, and yes Mr Svend did indeed end up exploring them at one point.

I decided to try and show off and boost through these sections... I ended up face first into a wall, you cannot boost to win this stage, not by a long shot.

Classic and Modern city escape is a challenge, whilst you can beat it, you will not get a good time at all.

If you are still in denial, let me spell it out for you. City escape is a genually tricky stage, it DEMANDS percision platforming and it's a VERY impressive stage at that.

Now... After Svend finished his run, we watched his score get added up and the game played a song... it was a remid and we couldn't make it out at first, the two of us put our heads to the screen trying to figure out what it was, Gamefest was officially over and the Sega reps wanted us off the pods, but we just had to work out what it was... we then both said at the same time... "Thats It doesn't matter!"

Has anyone mentioned that yet? If you get an S rank on city escape It doesn't matter (remix) plays? It's a pretty cool remix too at that.

Overall, Generations HD has got it, the demo was excellent, improved over the XBLA/PSN demos we had and if the rest of the stages match the quality of what I played today, you might get that warm and tingly feeling that many of you have been yearning for... for... urm... last week.

Conclusion:

Generations 3DS: Not that great.

Generations HD: WOO HOOO *Does and impression of a cowboy.*

We knew that "It Doesn't Matter" was worked into the Modern remix of City Escape somehow, but not that it would show up during the results screen. I wonder if we'll get anything else like that .

[Pawn]

Thanks a lot for that Hogfather! =] It's great to hear that about City Escape.

[Eternal EX]

Hogfather you lucky bastard. And thank you for giving us thay really short preview of CE. I knew it would be a greay stage and from from what you said, I have nothing to worry about. How amazing was the CE modern remix?

[Blue Blood]

Crappy GAMEFest video:

[Legendary Emerald]

I'm willing to bet that all that plays during the results screen with S rank is the little bit of guitar that was added to the Modern City Escape Remake that we could already hear during one of the gamescom videos. Though I'd love to be proven wrong, and have a complete remake of "It Doesn't Matter". It'd make sense, since Jun got Ted Poley and (supposedly) Tony Harnell back in the studio to re-record Modern City Escape.

Still, Crush 40's version of Sonic Boom NEEDS to be this game's theme.

I'm pretty sure they said that performance of Sonic Boom was just for the event of the same name. It was a pretty horrific cover to be honest.

[Legendary Emerald]

Nah. The music was good but singing was terrible.

[Johnny Boy]

It doesn't matter plays when you get an s rank on city escape? Damn it! Why does November 4th seem so far away?

[Vec]

Where did you get that "It doesn't matter" plays in CE's result screen?
