This retrospective was an excelent work of love and dedication. Congratulation RK. Ive never seen somethinh like this in GAF and I really enojoyed it a lot
Sonic Generation was a great game. Probably I never forget that final boss but all the stage were incredible fun and show how Sonic Team understood whats great within boost-Sonic gameplay
Still baffles me no current gen port. I hope Generation can make it in the Xbox BC program. Probably frameratw and IQ will improve
Thank you man
. I love the Sonic series and I wanted to celebrate it in a big way......50+ threads later, I feel like I did the series justice XD!
I think others tried making retrospectives like I did here before, but I covered ALOT of games, so I can see way the amount of games I covered in 2 months might be impressive :').
Generations is a fantastic game that I hope gets a remaster containing the Unleashed Day Levels for current gen systems in the future. If we are not getting a Modern Sonic game for the anniversary, a port of Generations with locked 60FPS/1080p and the Unleashed Day levels would be awesome for us to get

So many great little details in the game. Endless Mine being seemlessly implemented into City Escape Classic, Knuckle's grapes, the nod to the annoying pink water, the recreation of Chaos' reveal, the recreation of the opening of Sonic Adventure 2, wanted posters for Fang and missing person's posters for random obscure characters who haven't been around in awhile. Even abilities, where Classic Sonic can basically use every ability he had in the old games via badges. And many, many more references.
It really feels like a labor of love, and I'm not sure such a game will ever come out again. I hope one does, but it seems the game came at the right place and time.
My favorite touch is the cut-scenes you see when you complete two acts for each zone; they change completely if you clear the second act with one of the Sonic's. Classic Sonic's reaction to Knuckles and Rouge is priceless XD! Modern Sonic's reaction to Amy and Charmy is also gold too :').
Generations really was a labor of love on Sonic Teams part and it really was a game, as you said, that came out at he right place and time for the franchise
.
Totally agree with your retrospective, this game was amazing and it shows that with room to breathe and a solid development team to boot, that's how great Sonic games are made. Unfortunately, SEGA has remained wilfully ignorant to this and has lately just shit out the occasional Sonic without any forethought or respect.
I never played a whole bunch of Generations but from what I have on PC I really enjoyed.
When you don't rush a studio and give them time to make the game they want to make, they will most of the time produce a quality product filled with love and care
. That is what happened to Sonic Unleashed, Colors and Generations, leading to all three being some of my favorite Sonic games
