Someone flipped the switch a little too soon again.
Some users are reporting quite a few new shots of Sonic Generations appearing on Xbox Live that probably shouldn’t have gone live yet. Yet others are reporting seeing the usual shots of Green Hill Zone. Either way, you all win. Aside from the above of Modern Sonic death racing Shadow on an unknown stage–the ARK?–echoing Classic Sonic death racing Metal Sonic, we also get to see the Death Egg Robot fight Classic Sonic will take part in, showing a newer spin on the boss.
Planet Wisp is also shown, looking just a tad crisper than how it appeared in last year’s Wii title Sonic Colours and a shot of Modern Sonic and Classic Sonic interacting in the timeless “mirrored reflection” pantomime.

Those are most probably the meteors from the original stage.

That doesn't look like the moon to me. It's just rock fragments.

That race with Shadow, it’s perfect. All of this is just perfect.

the party picture fake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment left on 9.13.2011 by sonic
Or maybe they just didn't fix the lighting. SEGA themselves confirmed that the game starts out with a party like that
Reply left on 9.13.2011 by itsjustsomerandombatfan
That's quite the elaborate fake, then.

YES! Shadow’s fight IS the final fight in Heroes’ Story!
The Ark looks sweet and I like that they gave Shadow a boost too.
Sega, you have officially given me hope

Like Super Sonic?

It’s all amazing. I can’t wait to fight a decent character boss after that Silver boss from Sonic 06. Planet Wisp also looks much more vibrant on the Xbox 360 version it seems, great level choice though. I also expect a SPIKES! or ROCKET! cameo. lol. I still think the Shadow boss will be a cool one
Comment left on 9.14.2011 by Bonehead
Now are they making the stages just boss fights or will it be an actual fucking stage.
I hope so.
That stage kicked ass in the Dreamcast era
Reply left on 9.20.2011 by Hmfan
X-Box 360 version? Are there screenshots of the x-box and ps3 versions of the stage? Or did you think that Colours was for X-Box :P
Reply left on 9.14.2011 by MetalShadowChaos
I just wondering which sections of Planet Wisp are used for which Sonic.
I think it's safe to say Modern Sonic gets the first level of PW. Which one will Classic Sonic get though?
Reply left on 9.14.2011 by itsjustsomerandombatfan
Actually, you're getting both. ;P

This has made me even more impatient for the release of this game! Also, I wish they’d add more Colors stages into Generations. Hell, Sweet Mountain in HD or Starlight Carnival?! Oh, the possibilities. Hell, I’m not complaining. This game is going to be gorgeous.
Comment left on 9.14.2011 by PreStalnic
I'd rather have Sweet Mountain than Starlight Carnival or Planet Wisp personally but it still looks amazing.
Reply left on 9.14.2011 by itsjustsomerandombatfan
Shadow has the same gameplay as Sonic???!!! And why is there platforming in Sonic 2final? Is that a cutscene
Comment left on 9.14.2011 by PhotonTH
The Giant Mecha of Sonic 2 (thanks again TV Tropes) got BIGGER. And probably has a different weak spot now.
Reply left on 9.15.2011 by FieraDevilWings
Am I the only one who finds it interesting that shadow’s boosting like sonic? Yet another reason why other characters should be playable.
Comment left on 9.14.2011 by Meepmeep189
Possible DLC/Unlockable
Reply left on 9.14.2011 by Hedgehogicus
I'll agree on that one. I'd love Modern versions of 2P mode, with Shadow being able to boost. I mean in Sonic Adventure 2 style - Modern Sonic and Shadow race through the Modern stages. Or Classic and Modern Sonic race through special versions of each stage made specially for 2P mode.
Reply left on 9.14.2011 by Trogdorbad
There’s one reason I’m looking forward to the Shadow fight that isn’t just the locale.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSlwNalNmJE – the chance this is getting remade.

Oh mu…. i got my wish for HD Planet Wisp =D …. In One day!
Comment left on 9.14.2011 by NateMM
Well it was confirmed in the demo.
So you probably got it a lot earlier then that
Reply left on 9.20.2011 by Hmfan
Add the Chaos Blast and i’ll be happy as hell.
Comment left on 9.14.2011 by Hyperspeed03
Since it's based on the 2nd Shadow fight in Adventure 2, I think he'll only use Control and Spear. Although who knows, Sega might surprise us
Reply left on 9.14.2011 by itsjustsomerandombatfan
Now. I’m no scholar on design of old sonic stages. However if you look back where the picture of sonic and shadow “zooming” forward. You can kinda see the inside of the tunnel they were coming from. If you eye-ball the yellow strip inside the tunnel it kinda looks like the neon rails sonic and shadow used to grind on in the ark levels alil. It popped out for me cause I remember those rail being bright yellow and soft pink/red at the tips. So it very well could be ahh..Final Rush(zone?). Anyway,Thought I’d share that.

I hope we actually get to play that fucking awesome level.
Reply left on 9.21.2011 by Hmfan
I’ve been dreaming of this battle between Sonic and Shadow since Unleashed was released. Shadow can run on par with Sonic so it’s about time Sega gave Shadow a boost power. The greatest race in Sonic history (for me anyway) just went from AWESOME to PURE EPICNESS TIMES 100! I’m buying Sonic Generations for MANY, MANY, MANY reasons, but this battle is within the top 10 reasons why I’m buying this game. Sonic Adventure 2 Battle was my first 3D Sonic game so Shadow is part of my childhood.
“I’ll use you…CHAOS CONTROL!!!”
“This is the ultimate!!!”

Gotta say I am amazed. Planet Wisp looks amazing (hope we don’t run round the corner to see the rest of the level made out of orange machinery) and the boss fight against the Sonic 2 Boss looks so different. My worries of it being a repeat of Sonic 4 are gone~ As for Shadow, the boost concept makes me think this is a race rather than a fight…I hope that’s not the case
Comment left on 9.14.2011 by TheBlueBadger
I don't think they're gonna radically change Planet Wisps' level design (for Modern Sonic) although I DO wonder what the boss would be
Reply left on 9.14.2011 by itsjustsomerandombatfan
Oddly enough, the only ones from here I have on the Arcade are the mirror one and the Death Egg Zone boss.

Hey, when can we expect the newest trailer to be shown here? The one with Sky Sanctuary?
Comment left on 9.14.2011 by itsjustsomerandombatfan
Hey Gene, Sky Sanctuary trailer is up at IGN.
Comment left on 9.14.2011 by Hedgehogicus
It seems quite decent. They’ve approved the console date, no 3DS info yet, and as usual, no love for the PC. Goddamnit Sega, work on giving some serious gamers a chance. The consoles aren’t anything. The real win is in several key combos to pull off simple tasks! Where’s my MechWarriors 5? WTF am I talking about? Kill me.

Newest trailer contains more Chemical Plant and Sky Sanctuary gameplay.

Planet Wisp… Was a really nice visual Showcase in the Wii, now is 2x better in 360/PS3.
Comment left on 9.15.2011 by CplFoley94
Classic sonic looks so sad in that picture. Poor thing got abandoned…
Comment left on 9.15.2011 by Gamester454
It’ll be interesting to see how they will use Silver in a boss fight. It definitely wont be a foot race between Sonic and Silver. And the Shadow boss fight better be the most difficult.

I thought Shadow just ran not flew.
