Genre: Platform |
Sonic Generations is a Sonic the Hedgehog developed by Sonic Team for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC. A different but similar Nintendo 3DS version was developed Dimps. Both titles exist to commemorate Sonic the Hedgehog's 20th Anniversary. It is rumoured (though not confirmed) that a PlayStation Vita version of the game may also be released. A listing for the game was found in Steam registries, indicating a PC release which was officially confirmed by SEGA on October 11, 2011. While the game's name is just Sonic Generations in the West, in Japan the 3DS and PS3/360 versions have different names, with the 3DS release called Sonic Generations: Ao no Bouken (ソニック ジェネレーションズ 青の冒険) and the PS3/360 release called Sonic Generations: Shiro no Jikuu (ソニック ジェネレーションズ 白の時空).
Sonic Generations allows players to control both the pre-Sonic Adventure and post-Adventure designs for Sonic the Hedgehog and features remastered levels from Sonic's previous adventures. The game is divided into three eras: the Classic Era (pre-1998), the Dreamcast Era (1998-2005), and the Modern Era (2005 onwards) - "Classic Sonic" playing through the levels from a 2D (or 2.5D) "classic" perspective, "Modern Sonic" tackling them in a 2D/3D perspective, similar to Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Colours.
The game was first announced in a teaser video posted by Sega on April 7th, 2011 on Sonic's official Facebook page. The game was announced for both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and was scheduled for a 2011 release. It was announced later for the Nintendo 3DS in Nintendo Power magazine, paired with a November 2011 release date for all platforms. At E3 2011, SEGA revealed a trailer revealing City Escape from Sonic Adventure 2, with a further trailer appearing in mid-August detailing other levels.
A fourteen-day demo was released to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consumers on June 23, 2011 - the official date of Sonic's 20th anniversary. A second demo was scheduled for release October 18th on the Xbox Live, October 19th on the European Playstation Network, and October 25th for the Playstation Network in North America.
The original Sonic the Hedgehog was announced to be included as a bonus game.[1]
