Sonic Generations is a game released November 1st 2011 for the PS3 and Xbox 360 home entertainment systems in the United States and November 4th 2011 for the PS3 and Xbox 360 home entertainment systems in most European countries and Australia, as well as digital download for Microsoft Windows users who downloaded Steam in all countries that received the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game. The fact Sonic Generations was released for the Personal Computer (PC) (through Steam) was an interesting matter, as it was the first PC port of an official (Sonic Team made) Sonic game in a while. Nonetheless, hackers jumped to playing around with the files in Sonic Generations from the moment it was released. Some tech members of Sonic Retro and hackers not part of Sonic Retro already started playing with the Sonic Generations demo, which has not too different file formats from the final product. At the time of this writing, 12 days after the release of the PC version, several discoveries and format workarounds have happened, such as texture editing, object layout and script editing, unpacking and repacking .CPK files, unpacking and repacking (most) .ar files, etc. Even encoding audio for use in Sonic Generations has become a possibility. Below is documentation on what in Generations has been found out, and how to hack Generations.
