Sonic Generations has first game as unlockable bonus

It’s been twenty years since Sonic first burst onto the scene as Sega’s answer to Nintendo’s Mario. Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) was an instant classic on the Mega Drive and led to a flurry of sequels, including fan favourite Sonic the Hedgehog 2 just one year later.

During a recent panel at Paris Games Week Sega confirmed that the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Sonic Generations will include Sonic’s first outing as an unlockable bonus. Producer Takashi Iizuka wouldn’t say how players can earn the extra but did reassure fans that it’s the complete game - most likely the version which is currently available for purchase on PSN and XBLA.

If you’d rather play Sonic Generations on PC then you’ll be pleased to know that pre-purchasing the game on Steam will net you free copies of Sonic 3D Blast and Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

Sonic Generations is nearly here - North Americans get it on November 1st (PS3 and Xbox 360), those of us in PAL territories and PC gamers will be treated to some Sonic goodness on November 4th, while 3DS owners need to wait an additional three weeks for the portable version of the game to be released.

Now i want this game even more, I'm starting to go into a sonic phase. At the moment its Battlefield 3. Sonic will be a sub phase in my Battlefield 3 phase. Imagine Sonic running on the battlefield with a m60, evertime he gets hit (that's if he gets hit) you will see rings of grenades......would be a awesome cross over game.......

fletbed

or how about a game where all the game characters is in one deathmatch Battlefield game, like sonic,mario,jack & daxter, banjo kazooi, rachet and clank, Conker, and so on.... and name it "Battlefield Mascots" hahahaha or something like that ;)

POItjie

Now that sounds like a good game, will be number one for 4 weeks in a row. maybe we should work on something and sell the Idea .....maybe it wasn't a good idea to post the idea on here....now somebody is going to steal it.......will have to come up with something else.....Can't wait for this sonic game.

Tom

you guys crack me up! thanks for the LOLs(-:

POItjie

Before i can do this game, i still need to finish off my El33t vs Zombies Game.....hopefully I'll have it finish by next year rAge. and i need to work more on the El33tonline phone app.....

fletbed

hey POItjie are you like a game developer? i mean do you make games? haha just want to know coz im an awesome artest and i have awesome original characters ;) @TOM yes we love dreaming ;)

POItjie

@fletbed I'm studying to do game programming. and i'm playing around with the kinect SDK and the Unreal Engine SDK..... so you never know, maybe we can get your characters to life....

SKWEH

major memories of sonic. frustrating times as well. miss those days i watched ktv in the morning where people called in and directed the person playing the game. fwd, fwd, jump, jump bck, fwd,jump lol

POItjie

I remember those days. Once there was a girl that phoned in and all she was screaming was FWD FWD FWD.......didn't get one ring. I'm going to put Sonic Rivals into my PSP and give it a try.

fletbed

@POItjie awesome when you in the biz just give me call :) @Brendon you stole my name >:( just joking haha yea i remember those Ktv & sonic dayz hahahhaha that was fun to watch, but do you guyz remember VIDEO POWER? http://www.lakupo.com/grblitz/vidpower.htm THAT WAS MY FAVORITE SHOW HAHAHAHA

SKWEH

@fletbed. Damn man i`ve been trying to remember this shows name for years. I used to get up early just to watch it. Many a good times were had watching it. especially liked the tips he gave to help with games. awesome show. miss it big time

POItjie

I can remember just a little bit of Video Power. back in the day they had alot of tv shows involving 8bit tv games. now I'm actually feeling really old......

fletbed

@Brandon, hahahahaha! yea i always had my pen and paper ready for some cheats lol you can watch the Video power intro on Youtube. man i just love going back :)

fletbed

better old then you...rite? :)

fletbed

better old then young i mean hahaha

SKWEH

OMG that video is lame bwahahahaha

fletbed

hahahahahaha!!!!

POItjie

Now i remember the show. I always wanted a setup like that in my room......maybe we should start a show like that again??? but with Xbox, PS3, psp etc......a show that helps you show how to get achievements/ Trophies..... just an idea....

fletbed

@POItjie awesome idea :) you can be the host, then you come riding in the room with a skateboard and hit the switch and make funny game noises :) ...i can see it already haha

POItjie

LOL, I think people will find the show too funny to watch if i had to do that. That's why i always wanted to enter Big Brother....... ;)

But I think its will be a great Idea.......DSTV are you listening to me?????

SKWEH

LOL yeah it is a good idea but please dont let the show be on early in the morning. I`m to lazy now to get up to watch stuff LOL

POItjie

We will make it 5am in the morning. that's when i normally get up. Maybe we should strike a deal with Xbox 360 SA to put it on to Xbox live on the Xbox or something. will make a plan

SKWEH

LOL i can imagine you all krusty eyed at 5am giving game tips and yawning. Maybe you can throw in some bad hygiene jokes to give it an extra boost lol

POItjie

Lol, if you are a true gamer you can last through the day with only 3 hours of sleep.... (that's roughly how many hours i sleep during the day). That's why cream soda was invented to keep you awake. I don't do the coffee thing.....yuk.

I think it will be cool to have a show like that. maybe have our Xbox Avatars host the show, and we can get famous game developers in for interviews.

we can call it....El33t gaming TV.......

SKWEH

LOL as long as it doesnt start early. Cant focus on game tips and getting ready for work at the same time. It will make me late lol

POItjie

we will have it late in the evenings. and if its on Xbox live, you can just download the episode to watch when you have the time.

SKWEH

glad we resolved this issue :-)

fletbed

thats it! lets do this El33t Gaming tv show!!!!!!!

Oliver

... I like it. ;)
