Talkin' 'bout his generation

How long is it now we've been waiting for a truly great revisiting of Sonic the Hedgehog? Seems like forever doesn't it? Well now we can finally begin the countdown proper as Sega have revealed the release date for Sonic Generations.

If you haven't already, check out the screenshots we posted back in August. There's a second batch here. Go on, I'll wait...

The finalised release date is now revealed as November 1st for the US and November 4th for Europe, and don't forget, if you pre-order the title from select retailers, you can get your hands on special edition goodness which although we covered earlier, I'll replicate here for you, because I'm just that nice:

Pre-Order Content Summary
- Casino Night" Pinball Stage: Play through this iconic mini-game from ‘Sonic The Hedgehog 2’ and relive some of your favorite gaming memories in stunning HD.
- Super Sonic Costume: Give your avatar the ultimate make-over with the iconic ‘super transformation’ character.
- Theme: Give your console the ultimate Sonic experience with a theme created exclusively for this pack.
Those dates again, are November 1st US, and November 4th EU!

Sonic 2 is my favorite platformer of all time. Unfortunately this is a curse because no Sonic has compared since.

I hope so too and I hope it keeps with the 400MSP the others had.

I preordered this as soon as it was put up :) the release date's been out for a while now though, Shadow's just been announced, sorta hope we see a classic version of him, but I'm thinking this is the way it working..
Classic Sonic VS Metal Sonic
Modern Sonic VS Shadow
Then they'll both probably be fighting Eggman/Robotnik.

This info has been floating around for ages.
But good for the fans that didn't know, get some pre-orders in :)

This and Dragonball are the only games for me this year.

Hmm, a smidge before Skyrim.
Do I dare risk it and buy this to play for 10 days?

Decisions, decisions.

Sonic brings back memories... and makes me feel old. Hopefully there's a demo in the works.

Must come down to preferences. It was honestly the worst Xbox gaming experience I've had in years. Horrible flow, constantly changing aspects, choppy graphics, and some control issues. $50 no thanks

No issues at all for me, was a great demo, suppose you're right though, preferences.
