What stages do you want to see in Sonic Generations?

[Your Vest Friend]

Every time I see that Heroes argument, I can't help but retort "They are not going to ignore a game which netted them over 5 million in sales", even if the person didn't say that they would ignore it.

Heck, it was the only one NOT ignored in the SEGA Stars series, not including DLC.

[MrROBOTO1988]

It's less iconic than Emerald Coast and the Classics among mainstream gamers and casuals. City Escape is a type of stage that is more familiar among who are more familiar with the Franchise,about the same level of the Metal Sonic Race(Stardust Speedway).And City Escape was almost barely referened, after SA2, while Metal Sonic was alot more...yeah,I'm pretty sure that we will get a Sonic CD Level.

For Sonic fans, you may be right. HOWEVER, let me make an argument as to why SA2 and City Escape are actually more well known to the masses:

One main word - Gamecube

Sonic Adventure 2: Battle introduced the Nintendo console owners to Sonic for the first time, and this game sold a TON. I don't know the numbers, but I would NOT be surprised at all if the Gamecube version sold more than the Dreamcast version. Unfortunately for us Sega lovers, Dreamcast failed a lot sooner in its life cycle than Gamecube did. But because of this, and the vast popularity SA2: Battle had on the Gamecube (a lot MORE popularity than SA:DX mind you), is it really that much of a stretch to see that SA2 and City Escape could be more memorable to more people than Emerald Coast is?

each zone should have at least 6 acts + 2 boss acts

DLC: - Lava Reef, Windy Valley, Crisis City, Planet Wisp

- 2 more acts per zones

- optional playable characters

[BornXX]

i'd love to see kingdom valley and adabat for ps3/360 and altitude limit and meteor base for 3ds

[DaBatGuy]

I don't really care what stages get picked as long as Chemical Plant/Flying Battery and Aquarium Park are in the console versions.

[frokenok3]

So i thought about it a little and i will try take a guess at the S.Gen final zone list. This is not what i actually want but what i think we'll see in the game. Some zones are obvious though...

Okay let's see:

1) Sonic 1: Green Hill(Con) & Starlight

2) Sonic 2: Chemical Plant

3) Sonic CD: Stardust Speedway

4) Sonic 3: Hydrocity & Ice Cap

5) Sonic&K: Lava Reef

6) S.Adventure: Emerald Coast or Speed Highway

7) S.Adventure2: City Escape(Con)

8) A Sonic Heroes stage: my guess on this is Casino Park or Bingo Highway

9) A Sonic 06 stage: My guess is Kingdom Valley or Tropical Jungle

10) A SatSR stage: My guess is Sand Oasis or Levitated Ruins

11) S.Unleashed: Rooftop Run(Con)

12) A Sonic Colours stage: My guess is Aquarium Park or Planet Wisp

A total of 14 zones/stages. A good amount i think and not an unreal number.

Also in this list i take in consideration the Level Themes. I think i have one zone for each theme and some zones are presenting 2 themes together(Ex. Lava Reef)

And about DLC i think we'll probably see Hard modes of the zones and maybe new re-imagined zones.

I'd like to see some of these: Hill Top, Lost World, Green Forest, Pyramid Cave, Ocean Palace, Flying Battery, Crisis City, Scrap Brain.

If SEGA takes one of Colours' stages that isn't Starlight Carnival, Aquarium Park or Sweet Mountain then f*** 'em. F***. Them.

[Dartanian]

Personally I'd like to see at least one stage from the handheld games, whether it be Game Gear, Advance, or Rush. They're a part of Sonic's past too ;D

Furthermore, how about a stage from one of the spinoff games like Toxic Caves (Spinball) or Milky Way (Drift 2). Of course it'll take a lot of imagination and work, but they have real potential to make entertaining and nostalgic stages.

[Old dead account]

If it's just one level per game:

Sonic 1: Green Hill

Sonic 2: Metropolis Zone

Sonic 3: Ice Cap Zone

Sonic & Knuckles: Death Egg

Sonic Adventure: Twinkle Park

Sonic Adventure 2: City Escape

Sonic Heroes: The casino level

Sonic 06: Crisis City

Sonic Unleashed HD: Eggmanland (no werehog sections)

Sonic Colors: Starlight Carnival

then maybe an original zone

[redhellc]

Here is what I would like to see for the console version:

Sonic 1:green hill

Sonic CD:Stardust Speedway

Sonic 2:chemical plant or oil ocean

Sonic 3:Ice cap

Sonic and knuckles:Lava reef or sky sanctuary

Sonic Adventure:lost world or emerald coast

Sonic Adventure 2:city escape

Sonic Heroes:egg fleet

Sonic 06: kingdom valley or crisis city

Sonic and the secret rings:Night palace or dinosaur jungle

Sonic Unleashed:rooftop run or dragon road

Sonic Colors:sweet mountain or asteroid coaster

[Eastwood]

Westopolis

Sky Sanctuary

Hydrocity

Crisis City

Ice cap

Doomsday

Lost world

Mushroom hill

Sandopolis

This topic is getting incredibly lazy now... It's turning into a list topic, and list topics get locked~ Please put some effort in and explain your choices and ideas.

It's a good topic, but as list topics aren't allowed, I have to ask that you guys pad out your posts a little more (:

Ok I will try.stardust speedway because i really want a sonic VS metalsonic battle in 3d;want oil ocean because of interesting concept of the level i really would like to see it in 3d;Ice cap because is one of the best ice theme level of all sonic games and music;Lava reef same as ice cap the is one of the best lave theme level;Lost world because there are some sections of the level that i really would like to see reinvented and i also enjoy the music;Egg fleet the concept of going form ship to ship destroying them at an incredible speed its awesome for me;More Kingdom valley because of the level screams EPIC all over;Night palace is amazing in level aesthetics, that moon light and that speed way in another dimension are incredible, and also dinosaur jungle because I really like dinosaurs;I always liked dragon road because you are running on a different version of the wall of china and I love that idea;My favorite level of colors is sweet mountain for a lot of different reasons, but i would like to see asteroid coaster because is great space theme level.I hope thats what you wanted.

[MADMONKEY78000]

I'm going to assume that there will only be one level per game so Sonic 1 and SA2 are already sorted. I'm happy with those choices an anniversary game needs Green Hill Zone and City Escape was probably the most memorable of the SA2 levels, Here's hoping they still keep the Big the Cat cameo in. Anyway back on track..

Sonic 2- Metropolis is a must because after Scrap Brain it is the defacto Eggman Base level in the games. It has everything crushers, lava, ton of spikes. The screws would be cool to use again as classic Sonic, Dunno how they would be used in Modern style but I hope they try anyway. The main reason for this choice is that I'm looking forward to boosting into Slicer, Shellcracker and hopefully Asteron, Can't wait to send those badniks flying of the screen it will sooth the pain those buggers have caused to countless gamers.

Sonic 3- I'll have the seperation as I know they are meant to be together 3&K but I really think they deserve an individual level. Angel Island would be my choice since it is a huge landmark in Sonic's History. It could be a perfect level with a cameo of Knuckles that would actually make sense due to his close proximity to the Master Emerald, Also the transition from tropical island paradise to flaming hellzone would be pretty intense and they could also have the Flying Battery do it's bombing run. This is probably to hard to do but since the game takes place on Angel Island how about all the levels combined together!! Kinda like what Banjo Land did in Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts.

For the S&K Level Mushroom Hill would be pretty cool as the Mushrooms would be a good tool to use for alternate paths. The main reason would be the changing of the seasons from Spring, Fall and whatever the Lime Green part of the level is supposed to be, If those transisitions are handled well it could be breathtaking zooming through as the level changes before your eyes. Lava Reef is also a huge candidate. It is probably the biggest candidate for this games Lava level, It also could have nice little features like maybe Toximister's(I think that is what they are called) smoke clouding your camera for Modern Sonic, The change from Act 1 to 2 would be pretty cool, I'd give the Hidden Palace part to Modern Sonic since I think it would look more awesome from a 3D perspective. Finally the chase scene could be pretty good, Either the spiked rolling ball(Would be a nice throw back to Lost World too) or the part after Knuckles knocks you down with the boulder and Eggman bombards you with missles that could be damn good.

Sonic Adventure is probably gonna be Speed Highway it would look pretty cool. Maybe incorporate some elements from Star Light Zone for the classic gameplay as from a 2D perspective it would look kinda like Star Light in my opinion. The 3-D parts have alot of material to use the running down the Skyscraper, Maybe being chased by those dodgy police/badnkis but only this time there is thousands of them.

Sonic Heroes I'd like to see a combination of Casino Park and BINGO Highway(Why did they put that all in capitals by the way?) Since I think out of all the Casino Sonic levels it really is the closest resemblance to an actual Casino, By that I mean it has more than just pinball it has the red carpets and dice and the roulette table , Maybe with the Bingo added(with better pinball controls) and the cards from Sonic 4 I think a really good level could be made. Plus it would be the best place to make a nod to Spinball.

For 06 It has to be Crisis City no arguments. The setting is quite exciting and the tornado made of fire is just badass. Or maybe just a level in Soleanna you never know.

I'm gonna leave it there. I'm not gonna go into Unleashed or Colours since I'm not looking forward to those levels simply because I doubt there will be a huge change from the original source material, As Generations will probably play very similiar to Unleashed.

[Jimbo]

Sonic 1-

Labyrinth

Sonic 2-

Aquatic Ruin

Casino Night

Mystic Cave

Wing Fortress

Sonic 3-

Hydrocity

Ice Cap

S&K-

Flying Battery

Lava Reef

CD-

Collision Chaos

Amazing Arena dunno if Chaotix levels are included xD

After that as long as it looks good, I don't play favorites with any other levels in the newer games, so it doesn't matter to me.

[Swiss]

Y'know, as much as I dislike Sonic 4, Mad Gear could be a good choice to be done properly. I mean DAT ACT 3 MUSIC

[Blue Blood]

Mad Gear would be awesome. I know it's Metropolis Again Zone, but still. Adapting the the darkness of act 3 with all those flashing sirens with the awesomeness of GI would make for some wonderful effects. However, if no classic water stage (or Lost World, or Ocean Palace if they get REALLY imaginative) gets in, then Lost Labyrinth would be fantastic.

Speaking of water stages, did I mention Hydrocity? Cause if I didn't, then... yeah. Generations HD NEEDS Hydrocity.

Lost Labyrinth and Mad Gear were both vastly superior to their predecessors in terms of aesthetics. Shame about the mechanics and meh level design. I would love to see Lost Labyrinth because those aqueducts and ruins in that gorgeous backdrop would be realised in brilliant Hedgehog Engine GI glory, and will probably be vastly superior in every way.

[Spooky Mulder]

Lost Labyrinth is one of the biggest shames of Sonic 4. It's actually a great zone, but, like the others, it's terribly marred by the game's awful physics. I'd love to see a version of it simply working properly, rendered in the Hedgehog Engine AND with a M.Sonic version would be fantastic bonuses.

[i don't like pie]

if they hadn't put the word labyrinth in the title of the level i won't have known it to be a remake of the original

[SuperGuzzi]

I have a question: the 3DS version, will have only the portable levels? or it will have some city escape and more from home consoles? is there any informatión about this?

Edit: Check out my new avatar x3

[frokenok3]

Nice avatar!

The 3DS version will have console zones as well as portable zones.

Right now Casino Night is confirmed for 3DS with Green Hill zone from the Console version.

[Sonic the Hedgehog in 3D]

Game says 9 zones

http://e3.game.co.uk/2011/sonic-generations/

For each level you can choose an act depending on what generation you want. There are 9 environments all in 3D. As with all classic Sonic games there are multiple ways to navigate the level but the higher you go the better the rewards. It’s Sonics 20th Anniversary this year and Sonic Generations is a great way to celebrate. Pretty much everyone has played a Sonic game at some point in their life but not like this. With your 3D glasses on you speed through the level faster than should be possible.

[Mega]

Any idea how credible that source is, though? I won't buy it until there's official confirmation. :|a

Though if that is true...

- Sonic 1

- Sonic 2

- Sonic 3

- Sonic & Knuckles

- Sonic Adventure

- Sonic Adventure 2

- Heroes

- 06

- Unleashed?

I still think we'll have at least 12 stages, though.
