Shadow Reveal For Sonic Generations

We here at JPS…

DISCLAIMER: Not actually everyone here at JPS, just one guy who’s extremely pessimistic

would like to remind you of a little thing called the Sonic Cycle. It’s an internet meme that claims that, in laymans terms, without bogging down with the details, that every time you get excited for a new Sonic game, God kills a kitten.

That being said, it turns out that Shadow is going to be in Sonic Generations. The new trailer seems to be trying to distract you from the Sonic cycle with fast paced gameplay, reminding you of Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 (Including Sonic Heroes for some anomalous reason) and featuring some… admittedly pretty cool rock/electronica, oh, and the reveal of Shadow.

Yes it looks good, yes, Sonic Colors wasn’t bad, yes, it appears that the world is finally moving on from Sonic 2006 and that Black Knight nonsense and yes, it seems to feature gameplay similar to Sonic 4, so feel free to get excited at your own risk.

So let’s have our fingers crossed for November 1st when Sonic Generations finally launches.

  1. Would it matter to you if you knew that Shadow’s lone role in this game was to have his face beaten in by Sonic? That’s really all he’s doing in this game. Does his presence really bother you?

  2. So… for some technical reason, Sonic Colours doesn’t count? -_-

    Dude, Sonic Cycle is dead. Sonic ’06 was five damn years ago. Were it not for the Werehog to many, Sonic Unleashed’s gameplay was amazing. Colours brought the bar up even higher.

    Shadow is but a boss character, “point final”.

    And if that’s not all, I can only imagine Silver’s reveal.

    Seriously, is it that hard for the press to believe that there’s actually a good Sonic game in the making?

  3. I’m gonna be making it a policy of not responding to comments, but Shadow’s appearance is actually kind of exciting to me, I was a big fan of the games before the Sonic Cycle age.

    To clarify, I am approaching the game with extremely cautious enthusiasm.

  4. The “Sonic Cycle” doesn’t exist. It’s a term invented by a bunch of bitter, 30-year-old men who can’t get over the fact that Sonic games are made for kids, they’re not kids anymore (in body), and they can no longer pretend to be, because what kids want from their games – Sonic or otherwise – these days is just too different from what they want/wanted.

    Go play your first-person shooters and shut up. If you need to play Sonic so badly, play the older ones. ;) They’re never going away…
