Okay I, finally got to try the ps3 demo at walmart
And Holy CRAP!!! Sega Finally Got the game Right!!
The "Green Hill zone Was Just amazing, As I was playing I yelled out "YES SONIC GENERATIONS RULES!!"

That Was a little Strange on my part...The guy behind me ask me "have you never played a sonic game or what?"
After That I Told him "Of coarse I have Just not one in awhile that Totally Kicked a**"

But I'm Freaking excited about this game, I'm going try my hardest to Get some money before the first
so far I Got $15 up

Let me as does anyone know what the Price is going to be??
I really need to know, where i know how much money i need Get up?

The PS3/360 version is going to be 50 dollars, the Steam version's 30, and the 3DS version (which is completely different and probably not worth buying) is 40 dollars.

For anybody who has the demo (or is reading this when the game comes out), TS and I have been competing to see who can get the best time in Green Hill Act 2, and I've got it down to 1:53. Beat that, if you can.

That guy, not sure whether or not he was being cynical or is just one who thinks all Sonic games are awesome no matter what. But yes, the game is amazing, and it's only two days. On Tuesday, I'm gonna whip out all the games, play the levels and bosses on their original systems (except for Time Eater obviously), then go out and get the game in the evening and go wild. This is gonna be fun.

Oh shut up, bro, so have I. You only beat me by .06 seconds and I'll be retaking my title when the game is released so I'm not wasting my efforts on a demo that doesn't record your stage time. Besides, I'll never forget your reaction when you tried to beat my 1:55.44 time and were acting like a baby about it so I went to set the 1:53.62 record and watched as you came back with 1:54.75 thinking you had beaten me but you ended up finding my new record and let me just say, that was the best moment of the entire competition. I won just by making a preemptive strike.

[Ventus]

Ha ha ha At you two and Your Times!
I'll beat both of your guys times In no time!! No pun intended

And I got the money Now!!!, I'll Picking the game On Tuesday evening..Oh boy I can not wait!!

I don't think I did... >.>

I actually thought about taking all the games represented in Generations and beating them through before the game came out, but that would take up too much time and I started late anyway. But the individual levels and bosses won't be a problem! I'll just have to use my emulator for Metal Sonic, since I don't have a Sega CD. lol

Heck, even though the Death Egg Robot is in Sonic 2 but it's after the Sonic & Knuckles level in Generations, I'll even start by playing Chemical Plant, then play Metal Sonic on my laptop, then play Sky Sanctuary, then put Sonic 2 back in and beat the Death Egg Robot, then proceed as normal. Yes it's weird but whatever. Yay for S3&K save data and Sonic 2 level select cheats!

Isn't the game only like 3 hours long or something?

[Russ]

I'm kinda doubting it. Sonic games tend to be short, but the last game like Generations, Unleashed 360/PS3, was a lot longer (took me 15-20 hours to beat just the main story). Then again, a good bit of that might have been the medal hunting, which I don't think Generations has.

But even that aside, the games have great replayability. I've easily clocked 100 hours in Unleashed, and still haven't gotten near everything, and Generations has the red rings and bonus missions, so I don't think it'll disappoint time wise.

the Steam version's $30

As pointed out earlier, not all regions are being charged $30 on Steam. Here in Australia Steam is asking $49.95.

[Russ]

Well I'm not certain, but I'm pretty sure Ventus is in the US.

Wait a second, would that be 50 Australian dollars. Could the price change just be because they're using different currencies with different values?

[Ventus]

Yeah I Live in the US Duh

I have to say I'm Totally Excited For tomorrow!, and the game price I'm paying is the standard $49,99 plus tax.

And another thing I want to ask?, are we going too compare each others Best Times?
You know for some Fun sport between Friends?

I know I am, for sure. Right now I'm .08 seconds faster than TS at Green Hill Modern, and I need to widen that gap a bit before he catches up. Yeah... I've been playing the demo WAY too often.

The cool thing for me is that the game's a birthday present. My birthday was back in July, but my mom pre-ordered it as a gift, so I'm picking it up on the way back from school tomorrow and playing the heck out of it. Crisis City... I want to play that stage more than any other, I think. Or maybe Planet Wisp, so I can see if they actually managed to make the wisps work in this game. Then again, Seaside Hill looks kinda like Adabat and Labyrinth Zone mixed... TOO MANY CHOICES.

Pretty sure Steam charges us in USD, not sure why the price difference is there though.

That's .06 seconds, unless you've been playing more. If you have, knock it the hell off and do something better with your time.

Don't worry, catching up with Russ will be simple. Like I said, I'm just gonna quit wasting the effort on the demo since it doesn't record your time. Anyways, as far as longevity, I'm sure it'll have plenty of things to do. There's not only a Classic and Modern version of nine main stages, there are tons of bonus stages for each one as well. So it'll have a pretty good length. An acceptable one, I'd say. Plus the demo alone has proven that replaying the stages to get the best times will become a hobby quickly.

Also I lied, 1:53.17 is my new record, eat it, little bro.

[Ventus]

Well Guys I've Got very Lucky tonight Gamestop Got More Preorder slots open

Yes.

Games in Norway costs 599 NOK when they're new. That's about 106 USD. There's multiple reasons for this, but it has nothing to do with the games themselves. One of the main reasons is that we earn more money here than people do in say, the US, so if the prices were the same, we'd basically be really rich. We have higher prices when it comes to everything, not just games. It's just a balancing measure.

It can be exploited though. Every single day, Norwegians take a drive to the border of Sweden and shops at one of two shopping malls situated just inside Sweden (placed there for the Norwegians, even), because it's so much cheaper there when we use our currency. It's a good system

Oh and for the sake of not being completely off-topic: I'm not going to get this game. All Sonic games in history have been horrible, but the later ones have been even worse. I know fans would disagree, but that's what makes them fans in the first place
