Sonic Generations is my personal favorite modern Sonic game. With the latest news, I thought it'd be a good time to unpack the greatness that this game truly is!

🤨
I guess you saw the announcement trailer
God I hope we get a chao garden in this new one
Homeboy. Dis smooth.
@@Ghostgate611Sonic fans try not to be delusional challenge (impossible)
Matty doesn’t miss with his timing. 😂
What a coincidence. The remaster just got announced
Dude literally says it's been in the news recently. Hardly a coincidence lol. It was leaked before the SoP
Lol literally tho
Nice follow-up after frontiers imo
Sonics getting way better at pleasing they fans
@@bluemarvel5970 most of us didn't know about this game until SOP
The timing on this video couldn't be more perfect.
Yo, I was one of the people who worked on the Unleashed Project mod! Very opportunistic timing on your behalf, by the way.
Literally perfect timing with Sonic x Shadow Generations just being announced
*insert stupid cringy shipping joke*
I was 7 when gens came out. I'm still obsessed to this day.
This is my second favorite sonic game, but unleashed just holds a special place in my heart.
I actually did like sonic unleashed and I didn’t mind the werehog levels just the last few were really really long for me (or it could have just been me wanting it the levels to end lol) I appreciate they tried something new I just couldn’t stay invested in the werehog levels later into the game.
Funny that you posted this vid as they just announced Sonic and Shadow Generations
Not a coincidence
Literally the point
Ain't no way you posted this now by chance
He does it all the time lmao
He probably makes videos based off of rumors and news swirls as well as maybe even having some insider info and plays off it like he should lol. Best way for traction to be gained
It’s not by chance, for one there was rumors, two it was confirmed the day before the state of play by a 100% accurate leaker.
The Boost Formula did not debut in Unleashed, it actually comes from Rush
This game is the reason I got an Xbox Series X. The 4K and 60fps updates with backwards compatibility were transformative changes. 🎉 It basically was a remaster. Probably why they thought to add the Shadow content.
How do other sonic games play on the series x?
@@MexiCooki I think Generations is the only one that got both resolution and FPS boost. Sonic Colors Remaster also plays best on Series X though.
@@DP12321 Unleashed also got FPS boost
Bro, what a perfect timing
Two videos in a row with impeccable timing.
I was 11 when this originally released it’s crazy it’s getting a remaster
Bro, I watched your old video on this game last night and bought it for ps3. I didnt even know a remaster was announced hahaha. Scary
Has someone who never played the console version of Generations, I am looking forward to experiencing it for the first time this fall: that, and being able to play as Shadow is a nice bonus😎
Amazing timing!
Yeah crazy timing, crazy how he totally didn't time it on purpose, totally not
@@SxM04650let people have fun
@@Kemoclout what are you even talking about... Get a grip
8:38 'My game is lagging dude!' god damn this hit different, i guess we are around the same age and that one sentence took me down memory lane because the way you described it and not knowing what framerate even was back then is exactly how it was for me 🤣
I remember LOVING this game as well as Sonic Colors.
This was the game that made me understand what was so appealing about the Sonic Gameplay loop.
Interesting the trailer for the remaster got dropped
I think it was decent 😊 great video, I got a wii with everything for $25 today
Matty doesn’t miss with well timed uploads
Bro couldn’t have timed this video any better
Awesome video as always
by the way what mod are you using for classic Sonic in the video?
For the remastered game, they should have added Knuckles for new 2D stages and Shadow for the 3D stages. Knuckles needs some love for his 30th anniversary!
I really hate the physics for Classic Sonic in this game. I love the premise, presentation and level choices, but I don’t enjoy this as much as most people seem to. Maybe if it had the physics of the Genesis ganes...
We have amazing speed and timing.
BRUH MATTY AGAIN WITH THE TIMING!!!! 😮
yessss baby, matty just posted!!!
I loved seeing the flickies in rooftop run
I am now conviced he has a hard disk with every relevant game reviewed by him so he can post one once there is a good chance to do so
bro was waiting to drop 😂🔥
Generations looks super fun can't wait to get the remaster I've never played these old sonic games
Have you ever timed a video THIS WELL
This is literally one of my favorite sonic games I’ve replayed it lie 7 times
We all called it “lagging” back then. It felt right.
Matty's timing was spot on
i’m gonna wait for the remaster but i’m excited, never played this yet
5:51 boost gameplay came from sonic rush and its line of games
I love the part with the physical box of the game
I’m not gonna lie, sonic generations+Shadow
Might’ve been the greatest part of the showcase for me, absolutely blind sided me
Bruh you got me when you said take out the combat music in unleashed. So damn truuuuue!!!!
Bro this is insane timing 😂
I love sonic unleashed! That game was my shit when I was a kid in elementary school on the Wii lmao. I love the cheesy edgy sonic games. Not even a huge fan of the franchise but that shadow game was also fire, plus it’s fucking hilarious to go back to and listen to the dialogue.
5:52 you're wrong, its first introduction was in Sonic Rush for Nintendo Ds
This man is insider trading.
Right on time for Sonic x Shadow Generations announcement! I cant wait for it!
It's probably my favorite 3d Sonic game of all time. Enjoyed it so much i 100% it twice. Unfortunately i didn't have a choice since my dog destroyed my game after i did it the first time.
Good to know I wasn't the only one who played sonic generations while recovering from appendicitis 😂
Man I hate being that guy but Im gonna be that guy.
The first game to use the boost was actually Sonic rush. And the game to continue the boost formula in 3d was colors and not generations.
This has been my, 'um akxtually' moment.
Um akxtually Unleashed brought boost to 3D.
@@anthonyyawtwumasimensah197
Thats why I clarified continued. Unleashed brought it to 3d, colors continued it, and then generations happened.
Loved it as a kid, can't wait for the remaster.
Matty, how the hell you keep doing this always at the best time?
PERFECT TIMING HOW THIS WAS POSTED TODAY
Bro it was intentional
This exact same thing happened with your mgs3 video when the delta remake was announced😂
Loved it. My most enjoyed 3D Sonic game.
Loving the remaster is coming to PS5 soon with extra content.
sonic genrtions re ignited my love for sonic after i had falln out with the series
Been saving up for a PS3 and I'm looking forward to playing Generations and Infamous 2 for the first time.
Of you could just play it on current gen this year. Still get the PS3 for Infamous and Resistance... GOW too.
Bruh I feel like Matty makes these ahead of time and drops them when its most relevant 😂
Bro just released the video when sonic x shadow generations trailer dropped
Best video timing
Matty: The following video is brought to you by-
Me: King Crimson!
Matty: Naturally because of today's events...
Talk about perfect timing
The Answer: Yes!
But there are flaws, like more Potential Levels and Bosses, Big, E-123 Omega, Omochao, and the Flickys weren’t at the Party, Planet Wisp doesn’t feel like Planet Wisp from the Wii anymore, Sonic CD got a Boss but not a Level, Most Sonic Games have only 1 Song, The Final Boss is underwhelming, and so is the 3DS Version.
Yes it is its one of the most replayable sonic games in existence, the level design is stellar, the music is amazing and its the one sonic game I have never changed my opinion of because its so clear that its just an amazing game
Gotta capitalize on the algorithm hype
Boy you timed this right
Wait before this video started I got an ad and it said the work generation to a video of Sonic generations so is this saying Sonic eats Taco Bell?
Interesting timing
I also had appendicitis in junior year of high school what the heck lol.
Sonic generations is absolutely fantastic. The remake will be a day 1 purchase for me.
algorithm will bless this video
You should try Spark The Electric Jester 3!
Equivalate was a new term for me. Like, what's wrong with equate? But thanks for that
Sonic generations is my favourite sonic game ever, of all time
Weird, the manual my generations came with is bigger than that one
The convenience of this upload is fucking hilarious
Damn you're good!
Yes Matty, Sonic Generations is REALLY *THAT* good
What makes Sonic Generations so great is the fact that it wasn't garbage at all when it came out. Especially when it was at the time when the franchise's reputation dropped off a cliff with Sonic '06.
Can't say I entirely agree. It wasn't 'garbage', but it wasn't good either. Level design varies from decent to bad... with only a few levels being 'decent' and the rest being worse than that. Controls and physics aren't good either. To this day only Adventure 1, 2 and Heroes are the only good 3D Sonic games. Even Frontiers was very lackluster in a lot of ways. Kinda decent overal, but still not good and the regular levels are pretty much the worst levels of any 3D Sonic.
People overstate how common it was for a Sonic game to be bad at the time because of 06. If you siff through the games at the time of the late 2000s you'll find plenty of games that got their cult followings, with Unleashed being the defacto example.
how you gonna forget unleashed exist..
5:49 It was introduced in *Sonic Rush**
crazy how he can't do the most simple research ever, how lazy of him.
Did you know beforehand that the new version was getting announced today? Or is this the mother of all coincidences? What are the odds...
How on EARTH do you prepare and finish a video after the news so fast?!?!?!?
EDIT: I meant, when the leak came out, not the official remaster announcement.
Play this game on modern pc and it is amazing, play it on a console from it's era and you will be dissapointed.
When I got it for PC at the time it rain in 1080p 60fps for me so I could never understand why people were so dissapointed in it.
I have read reviews of this game later donw the line where the console version was held back by terrible frame drops, 720p resolution and 30 fps.
Off topic but you should give dmc a try hella good series
I'm all over Sonic Shadow Generations!!!!
Bro definitely knew about the leak before uploading this
The only sonic game I’ve ever owned and beat. Came with my ps3 and beat it three times. This is the only sonic game for me, don’t like any others and I’m content to watch sonic from the sidelines as the franchise continues to grow.
the game is almost perfect for me, if only it was longer
Can you make a vid about games that you consider cozy but not mainstream?
Just in time huh? 😂 I love it
It was fun
Especially for when it released
I just finished forces and restarted generations like last week.
The announcement made me sigh
And I am currently in a shadow the hedgehog phase too
Like this should be made for me
And I just wanted something not rehashed
Hell if it’s alternate universes now, give us classic shadow and make it a whole thing
We can already play sonic generations..
Hell, bundle and remake and expand the advance trilogy
I see you
It is one of the better Sonic games. The new Shadow stuff in new version looks sick
Imo, it's one of the best sonic games, maybe even THE best!
yes
Bro can you see the future? Lol
I miss when people held this game as the standard for Game Design, and overall quality for 3D Sonic. Consistently well designed levels and bosses and everything feels tied into Sonic's abilities. No werehog, genre shifting playstyles. The game knows what it wants to be and wears that proudly.
Now it feels like everyone just latches onto nostalgia for Unleashed and SA2 which are such flawed games but the nostalgia for the art and story is so strong these days. Hopefully the remaster reminds people how actual quality this game is and one day we get a Boost game with this level of quality again with original stages.
I like Unleashed more than Generations but I am more than willing to admit to nostalgia bias.
Generations is the only 3D Sonic game that is consistently good.
Not 1/3 good like Adventure 2, not 1/2 good like Unleashed and Adventure 1but a fully fun game.
I just wish Sonic Team could make an original longer game (like the recent Shadow Generations) with Generations level design and a good story with no filler and you have a great Sonic game.
But looking at this trailer for Sonic X Shadow Generations the current team seems to struggle to make the quality of boost games we were getting in Unleashed and Generations.
We'll have to wait and see.
@@anthonyyawtwumasimensah197 people have found the names for all the level designers on Generations in Nintendo games, so, most of them have moved on sadly. I'm hoping one day we get a game with gameplay as good as this but with an original story.
unleashed i can understand, but not SA2. SA2 doesn't have genre shifting play styles. If anything generations has a similar case of that, going from 3D boosting to straight up watered down version of genesis 2D Sonic. And the level design in the 3D sonic boost levels can be lame, sometimes having too much 2D or trying to go for open-esque level design(despite its controls sucking for that type of design). Unleashed handled the boost far better, cause it fully embraced its "gotta go and react fast" nature of the boost style. Besides, Generations just lacks on other aspects, such as music(yes, alotta the remixes aren't that good IMO), storyline, post campaign content, multiple playable characters, and characterisation.
@@Prime_Legend yeah it does. You go from Sonic's gameplay to weird on mech gameplay more akin to an arcade shooter with a focus on chaining together combos of your blasts treasure hunting levels about exploring sandbox gameplay. That's more sub genre shifting, but it's still a shift. The other characters aren't "Sonic, but can do this" their level design and game design goals of how you reach the end of their levels are different. You're not running through hallways and using a bouncy speedy character to learn a race track type level and find short cuts over and over again and get better.
At least in Generations, I'm playing as two characters who have the same objective. Blast through 2-3 minute levels with good pacing, alternative paths I can learn, I'm not slowed down, and I'm rewarded for learning how to clear the stage in multiple ways. All of the extra missions follow a similar pattern of keeping the player active, give you new abilities that are speedy to replay stages for secrets, and the game also besides the final boss has better boss design that's not clunky arenas. You actually are on the move and engaged.
And as for the story, yeah, it sucks, the story's bland, but man, for the whole 3 hours it's consistent Sonic fun and good level design. Unleashed has more slippery controls and level design focused on the cinematics and feel.
That's fun a few times, but not very many alternatives routes, which gives it a Sonic game more longevity imo.
And I disagree on the music. I think most of the music is phenomenal and are fresh new takes on a lot of the tracks featured.
@@Local_Nerd_The thing is, the treasure hunting levels have almost the EXACT SAME CONTROLS as the speed stages, but with an opened level design and new objective, hence why I don't understand why you accept the differences between classic and modern sonic to be not 'sub-shifting' at the very least. As for shooting levels you're contradicting yourself.
You said in generations, at least the objectives are the same, yet the shooting levels has the same objective as the speed levels(race to goal, get higher score by taking certain paths, and defeating enemies in combos). In fact, the speed stages and shooting stages have a very similar ranking system. So if modern sonic and classic sonic having the same objective is fine, despite different styles, then what's wrong with shooting stages and speed stages having same objective, but different gameplay style(and even then, the shooting levels still more in common with the speed gameplay than generations' 2 gameplay styles.)
As for 'not being slowed down' in generations is straight false. The problem with generations, especially modern sonic, is that it's either too much basic boost2win or slow down to platform. No in between like unleashed. MOST OF GREEN HILL can be completed by just HOLDING THE BOOST BUTTON, AND NOTHING ELSE, yet people will say 'peak level design.' Meanwhile we get to crisis city, you start to see alotta Colors-esque 2D level design sneak into the modern sonic stages, fucking up the flow of the gameplay.
Unleashed, while has problem with the progression and werehog gameplay has a vastly superior boosting gameplay. Not only does it have better cinematics, but better challenge and ENGAGEMENT in how it gets the player to react in a 3D space, while mixing in 2D platforming seamlessly. It's balanced boost gameplay.
I would've really loved dlc for this game where you get to play as shadow and the others. There's a couple mods these days for something similar, but I hear they're really buggy and cause crashes. Anyway, all in all this may just be my favorite sonic game and I've been with it from the beginning. Sega genesis was my first console and sonic was my first game so I don't say that lightly.
Refresh CZcams, think you might like what you see 😅
@@nathanboreman5971 Thanks, when he said it was in the news I figured it was in some speed runs or something. That's cool, I hope the new game is as great as the original or even better if possible and as for the remaster, I hope they add shadow in somehow :D.
@@RatedRY... Did you watch the trailer. Please look at the comments here or type in "New Sonic Trailer".
Or "SonicXShadow".
Welp that was fast.
