More screenshots of classic setpieces, please.
 
I'll ask again since it'll be near the top of the page: what's the current list of levels for each version?

-Green Hill Zone, City Escape, Chemical Plant, Seaside Hill
3DS- Mushroom Hill Zone,

3DS currently has Green Hill and Mushroom Hill, and I believe they confirmed Casino Night, though no screenshots have surfaced.

We've not seen anything post that.

As for what I said before regarding the 7 Zones in 3DS, maybe they're just doing two based on Advance, and two based on Rush?
 
First thing that came to mind when watching the trailer was 'Did they actually need to justify a decision of having old + modern Sonic with a time travel plot'?

That aside, it's looking pretty good.
 
Looking back on anything pre-release of 06 is unfair. Sega pulled a major bait-and-switch on people; they literally hid the town hubs and the "Amigo" characters until something like two or three weeks before release, if memory serves. The game was also missing things they showed off in the original tech demos, and even some of the things they showed in the actual game trailers.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Sonic controls better in the demo for 2006 than he does the actual game, in the same level segment. And that's fucked up.

Seriously, we can have plenty of 06 talk when they reveal
Crisis City
, do we have to hit the same notes every time there's a Sonic topic?

Classic Eggman is on the end of level signposts, so it's a pretty safe bet he's in the game somehow too.

Classic Tails was already shown in official promotional art:

I really like what they did with Mushroom Hill in the 3DS version, I think I like how it looks better than in the Genesis game.

Airship!

So I see classic Rooftop Run is channeling Hill Top Zone and Seaside Hill is channeling Hydrocity and Aquatic Ruin Zones.
 
Posting the rest of the pics that haven't been posted yet, albeit at a lower resolution. Link to where the pics are in full resolution are in salromano's post.

I think that no matter what we say, it will be NO USE!
Good thing they're
remaking that fight and all.
I'm really looking forward to when they reach the 06 portions, because I'm sure they'll sneak an in-joke on what a tragedy it was.

I wish the Sonic Unleashed stage would've been Windmill Isle, just because the song is so much better than Rooftop Run.
Fucking this. I was never too crazy about Rooftop Run's Day theme, it didn't seem to fit at all. The night theme was much better and in-tune with the setting. The Apotos themes were even better. Oh well.


edit: <3 eggman's airship in the screens above^

16-bit stages remastered look great

but Spagonia from Unleashed looks out of place with it's realistic city look (same goes for City Escape)

Love Tails!!! day 1!

Indeed. Nostalgia overload.

The Hedgehog Engine is fucking godlike, though it usually goes unmentioned. I'd love to see some other games use it.
I'm of the opinion that Unleashed HD is one of the best looking (both artistically and graphically) games this generation, as far as the Day Stages go anyway. Its nice to have Generations reinforce my stance on this. It's especially a standout since games that sport such a varied palette of environments and colors on HD consoles are so few and far in between this gen.

New sonic game play -_- old sonic gameplay XD buting them side by side all make me hate the new one more
I feel the exact opposite. Old Sonic still looks sluggish and weighted. Modern looks like Colors HD

So nobody mentioned yet that that giant ship is Flying Battery Zone?
It's way too small to be the flying battery.

The flying battery was green in Angel Island Zone and grey/orange in Mushroom Hill Zone/Flying Battery Zone. Always wondered why they didn't keep the design consistent within the same game.

Might as well just make it 100% sidescrolling...

And WOW @ those Sonic 06 posts. Hilarious. I'm finally going to play that game next week I think. I don't think my body is ready.
Seriously, if you don't play Sonic Colours after playing that then you can't really have an opinion.
 
At times I feel like asking for an HD remake of Sonic 1/2/3/K is kind of a copout for making an actual new game but I think my body is ready.

Oh god expansion pack now please. I know I'm not gonna get enough of this goddamn videogame.
 
I tried replaying SA1 on XBLA since I had it. I haven't played since it originally came out...

I have to stop playing this. It is making me hate everything Sonic related in the world

That's a really smart move, actually. I don't give a fuck about seaside hill, but if it includes segments from hidrocity/labyrinth/aquatic ruin in the classic mode i will love it. And then the modern gameplay which is a huge improvement over sonic heroes. We all win!
 
I don't get why some people want this to be a 2d side scroller entirely. Yeah the 2D portions look great. But I haven't given up on the dream of a good 3D sonic. I'm hoping that now that they have chosen to stick with he unleashed style, they start to refine the 3D sections, just as it looks as though they have refined the 2D ones. I feel like they are close. They shouldn't stop now.

Beer goggles? Or do you mean refined from Sonic 4?
