The demo for Sega’s upcoming Sonic Generations was released yesterday, and sure enough, someone was able to “dissect” it, grab some important information from the game, and post it on the Internet. Sega quickly pulled the forum post down by way of a copyright claim, but you just know someone was able to grab the info…

Played the demo earlier, it seemed terrible.
the framerate is just too low to be moving that fast, especially since the background is almost indistinguishable from the platforms
Sonic has always been shite. I’ve downloaded demo just to remind myself why I thought game was horribly overrated .
The first two Sonic games ever were okay, after that, no.
Just thought they were so one dimensional it was untrue. Hold right, and press jump ocassionally was about all game consisted of.
I dont agree, Sonic 1 and 2 where superb and to master was a lot more than just holding right and pressing jump. Sonic 3 (dispite accalimed to be the best) I felt was good but not as good as 1 or 2.
The recent onces haven’t been that good. Sonic 4 was too slow and the controls didn’t match the original Sonic controls.
This new one I do agree the frame rate is not good enough and there is little distinction between the back and foreground. I also dont like the way it zooms in and out.
But this is a beta demo I hope they sort these issues out and it could be a very good game.
Fair enough, you’re entitled to your opinion, but I thought the game was boring and I managed to complete 1 and 2 with little to no effort by the above method , and obviously I’m exaggerating slightly, but I never flew through a mario game with such consummate ease , as I did with the sonic games .
They’re not a patch on mario games they were meant to rival IMO .
I enjoyed the demo. It brought back wonderful nostalgic moments and felt unashamed to play classic Sonic more than once. Better than Sonic 4. That was rubbish.
I honestly don’t know where these complaints about the framerate are coming from – I downloaded the demo yesterday from PSN and it was a solid 30 fps. Gamers have become spoiled senseless – the original games hardly ran at a perfectly fixed framerate, and we didn’t even get 30/60Hz games until the PS2 era (PSX/N64 operated at 20-25 for most games, if not lower, and even then things were acceptable).
That said, the demo of Sonic Generations was a major step in the right direction. The gimped physics of Sonic 4 are gone and this felt as close to the original 4 games as possible. They really have their work cut out for them – original music, original zones, slightly rearranged, original sonic designs, and original characters, no bullshit. Personally, I think it’s the first Sonic game since Sonic 3 to look forward to….Hopefully the new zones will have an inspired soundtrack. That’s all I’m hoping for.
30fps isn’t enough for a game like this, sonic just moves far too fast.
Yes! As I thought, Sonic Adventures are the last games ’bout Sonic that is not totally shit
RIP, blue hedgehog.
I thought the demo was pretty good, albeit too short to determine anything about the full game.
All I know is that if the full game is like the demo, then I’ll be happy to welcome Sonic back into my gaming life.
