- Sonic X Shadow Generations is an upcoming remake of Sonic Generations - which, in and of itself, took classic stages from older Sonic games, moving many into a 3D space. With Sonic X Shadow Generations, Shadow will also now be playable, with some of his classic stages also entering the fray. Sonic X Shadow Generations is set to release October 25, 2024.

SHADOW'S PAST IS COMING BACK TO HAUNT HIM
oh look it's Green Hill
It’s like two different games lol
Immediately back to 2011 Casual Gameplay lol.
How will sonic fit into shadow story tho?
This looks amazing
I was not expecting Biolizard to to conjure a Rasengan, but here we are
oh my god it is. It even got the hands.
@@ZNemeraldbiolizard looks like it has 2 front limbs, and 4 broken un-grown hind limbs
I legit thought those were extra tails.
But nah, those limbs just gave up regenerating.
More like a Tailed beast bomb
Bro, this is literally his power in SA2 ☠️

Fun fact: Biolizard was already in Sonic Generations. It was the 3DS version, but the more ya know
Yeah, but now his appearance makes more sense
Same song, too, as good as it ever was.
so was radicool highway
@@SJtheMFZBit's actually a remix of the remix.
I kind of hope we get the 3DS levels in the game, maybe as a paid DLC pack or something
They were smoking that adventure formula with the shadow levels
We were eating rotisserie chicken.🤣🤣🤣
And that’s why the level design actually looks good.
IMO
You mean aesthetically? Maybe?
Because the shadow levels are clearly on rails.. there was barely any playing involved from the look of it.
@freakingluigi6626 It's probably the first level, most first levels in 3D Sonic are just "go forward"
The animations are so beautiful and there actually looks like multiple paths in the level design. Sonic Team is finally back.
All thanks to Sonic Frontiers

Well, Sonic Frontiers has Sonic fighting with huge Titans But whatever
I love how it's not boost heavy this actually looks like an adventure remake
The person playing is just refusing to boost honestly. It's there but they aren't using it.
@ians_parks I know it's there I just mean that it's not the main stable like how generations was
@@ians_parksbeing able to play the game without using it is already a good sign
I remember playing Colors without the boost unless I was going for shortcuts because I just liked the scenery and saved it for cool shortcuts.
Man I wish they remade adventure 1 and 2 like this. That would be amazing. With chao garden
They really went out of their way to make shadow and sonic have distinctive gameplay and not just a sonic reskin
Hopefully it'll show people why Shadow should NOT be a clone charachter if he becomes playable in Smash.
Isn't smash done now like wasn't ultimate the last installmemt?@@Cloud-dt6xb
That was always my problem with shadow he’s fun but it’s too similar to sonic. Him having his own abilities is the best option to go with.
@@brazyfilmo3121Sonic 06 shows this nicely and A Shadow the Hedgehog
As far as I can tell, no 2D sections either. Those are the worst
The way you transition from the arc to radical highway is so cool istg
Facts man i can’t wait to play this
5 minute long level believe it or not
That sounded like Westopolis to me
@@mejorKrauser it has parts of westopolis in the radical highway remix. It's like a weird fusion of the two songs. It's good regardless. Some people don't like the EDM/dubstep in their sonic games, I for one don't mind it now that they got a great sound board and synth to play with

These graphics look better than Sonic Generations the base game. The graphics in the base game looks the exact same as it was on ps3/xbox 360.
Yeah!
Kinda wish they had a makeover with the base game too
it might just be hedgehog engine 2 for the shadow story stuff but gens is literally just ported over.
according to other journalists that have played, the fidelity on base gens is also much higher. It's just that the two have very different visual styles.
Hedgehog engine 1's lighting is extremely precalculated (for example global illumination is embedded to the textures) so I think they had to move to a new engine If they wanted to upgrade graphics other than resolution so they decided not to(maybe not to make the same mistake as sonic colors ultimate?)
Sonic Team finally realized Generations is their most well rounded game. Adding Shadow is the chef’s kiss.
Imagine Metal Sonic gameplay
Shadow’s stage looks more platforming than boost focused in a boost game which is really good as it emphasizes a similar style of turning from adventure. Also his movement is generally really slidey which is cool.
That’s why I want sonic adventure 3. The adventure format had the perfect format of what a Sonic game should be. They need to give us that format with Sonic adventure 3 and make the playable characters gameplay more faster paced so it matches with sonic but with their own abilities and movement, that way the gameplay will feel consistent. Thats what was so controversial about the adventure games.
I’m still gonna boost and that won’t stop me.
I just hope this isn’t press forward the video game

@@Shadowgrace760 .....thank you?
Man, Sega and Sonic Team really went that far for Sonic X Shadow Generations.
Don't you guys think?
I absolutely love it
I mean are we gonna complain? Sonic Frontiers which was great, sure but c'mon it has its flaws, Sonic Forces being.. the way it is and lets not get started on Sonic Colours: Ultimate. Something like this coming from Sega is rare nowadays and besides it's a Shadow the Hedgehog game that isn't terrible for once.
Don't know, haven't played it.
It looks stellar, visually, though.
@@khalibreofyourchoice7146No complaints I guess, I just wish they ported Unleashed plus the Shadow stuff instead of generations which is a game that we already have on PC and enhanced on modern consoles.
And there’s probably a decent chance that the original generations gets pulled off of all digital stores after this comes out like Origins
It looks like any of the old and terrible 3D sonic games with some frontiers inspired combat added for bosses. This is nothing new. A step back in my opinion. Don't care about graphics but they went back into a linear formula with the same old gameplay. Meh.
This right here yes shadow is back
Shadows back... on rails!
Extra instrumentation in the soundtrack the faster you go? Awesome!
That was in the original
@@sonictmntsunimportantstuff1941 no. Just a whooshing noise as you boost
@@michaelbreckshot6589no, the soundtrack actually does change while boosting in unleashed, colors and generations
Yeah modern sonic's level music will change depending on how fast sonic runs. It starts off beat for beat like the originals, once hes at maximum running speed it adds a couple more instruments and speeds up in tempo, and when you boost it speeds up again along with the boost filter for the music
It's been like this for literal decades lol, since Unleashed at least
shadow just being able to use chaos control is so fire
BLACK DOOM has a New Actor. Not Sean Shemmel this time. (Goku)
It’s probably because he is more focused on Db sparking zero he can’t voice act him this time
I actually met Sean Schemmel at Collect A Con Dallas earlier this year and I asked him if he knew about Black Doom coming back. He said not only was he aware of it, he even auditioned for it. But even then he was sure they went with someone else. All we can do is welcome the new guy and wish him the best of luck!
@@YG_ROM213 Apparently he didn't get a call from sega
@tristanbush6576 Really? PROPS to the New voice. Looking forward to hearing him more.
Hey! It's not me Goku!
Impressive cgi fidelity visuals in real-time gameplay
I like how dynamic everything looks
I like how expressive he is
I heard some people say "The new voice direction is peak" and I didn't really agree but hearing some more of these voice clips it's kinda cool. Reminds me of David Humphrey
This sounds nothing like David Humphrey. I'm sorry but I have to disagree. It sounds like the voice actor is straining himself to sound a certain way at times and it's not really working.
@@domigamerblocktrieon9778 they meant the voice direction is like the shadow from the 2000s not actually sounds like David
I think I get what you mean. Still it feels like the actor is really straining himself to voice in this way at times.
Half the time I hear shadow, the other half I hear kisame from naruto. I'm conflicted
@@K7TZ i kind of see why i don't why but this voice kind of fits shadow in my opinion
7:17 HERE COMES THE PART
"The part where he kills you"
GLaDOS: what is that thing
Biolizard: *SCREEECH*
GLaDOS: this neurotoxin should destroy it
*neurotoxin has no effect on biolizard*
GLaDOS: uh oh
The audacity of these people giving us Modern & Classic Sonic gameplay like we've never seen it or played it before. 😂
Yeah I’m here for shadow and Hate Classic Sonic.
In fairness, both Sonics are getting the Drop Dash.
Unfortunately they haven't shown it off in official footage yet.
Yeah, I’d rather they just have Shadow Generations similar to the 2005 Shadow game, then they wouldn’t have to tie it to a much older game and face consistency issues between the two gameplay types

Gojo the Hedgehog
Until I figured out this was a _Jujutsu Kaisen_ reference, I was so convinced that the 'purple' line was referring to a Shadow/Rouge improv joke from Lythero's Sonic 06 streams.
It’s a neat touch that everything goes silent during Chaos Control.. it always gave that type of feeling but it wasn’t silent, there was still a subtle music. Now all you hear is shadows grunts and sounds and nothing else. Really neat
Legit looks like sonic adventure 3
More like Shadow the Hedgehog remastered
Still waiting for that game 25 years later.
Exactly it looks like adventure mixed with shadow the hedgehog. We need a Sonic adventure 3 bad.
Calm down kid. You dont even know what sonic adventure is.
I wouldn't go that far. Still nothing like an Adventure title
2:07
Love that Radical Highway remix.
Same! Can't wait to hear it when the game comes out!
0:03 metal gear rising moment 😨
Idc if it’s recency bias, this is the best thing Sega has released in years regarding the Sonic franchise, I want it now!
Yay another game that plays itself!
@@freakingluigi6626 you want Sonic Adventure 3?
Didn't the original Generations receive some specious scores from reviewers? You almost don't even have to regard the press if the mechanics hold up.
@@freakingluigi6626 yay another annoying guy randomly hating for no reason!
Totally Indeed and so excited I can’t wait
I like that we're seeing Shadow progress as a character. He seems so much more powerful now than he was in Sonic Adventure 2. I like that they're continuing the trend of showing the growth of the characters in the game (Generations showed that Sonic was able to beat Chaos without Super Sonic, showing how much stronger he'd grown, and it seems like the biolizard does the same for Shadow).
Btw, if anyone asks what is up with the first 17 seconds, it's a QTE. The punching part is where you mash a button, then the kick (where the sound went silent) was the timed button press, from what I've seen on recordings.
I love how Sonic Team is fully embracing the shonen anime nature of the franchise now
I know a lot of people are talking about the Bio Lizard new abilities, but-
Can I just say.
I love how utterly disgusting it is. I'm not saying this in a bad way, but a good way. The Bio Lizard looks properly disgusting and horrific, with thick calluses across it's body, brusing yellow skin where the mechanical parts attach, the pulsing gills that actually made me whence when I saw them, the addition of teeth and those oddly disgusting purple arms with wires and flesh.
This thing looks like a biohazard, it looks like a failure of a prototype and it's rightfully disgusting to look at. This isn't at Resident Evil remakes of disgusting monsters, but it's close and I appreciate the team for fully realizing the old design from Adventure 2.
Now THIS is how you Shadow!
The difference in abilities compared to Sonic! The warping, the lightning type dashing. The martial arts!
Shadow hasn’t been this well done since Sonic 06
that sliding animation have more frames than entire sonic forces
The realization that Shadow levels are not just a neat bonus to a remastered, it’s an sequel to Sonic Generations
Shadow the Hedgehog 2
Is it me or dose classic sonic have like a darker blue at some parts
They fixed it, he used to have a lighter shade of blue which drew some criticism but now they restored his original shade.
@@CarbyGuuGuuDoes this mean? GOODBYE SANTİAGO?!?!?
@@mehmeteminakce6699Y E S.
@@zcramblo YESSS YES YEAH.FRICK YOU SANTIAGO
They also removed the eyebrow crease. Like Superstars' model
8:06 nah, Kirk Thornton cannot replace Jason Griffith's voice
I like the direction Kirk is going however yes, none could replicate what Jason Griffith’s voice could do.
Not even close :(
This is by far Kirks best performance as Shadow, but theres only so much good direction can do with an incorrect type casting. Kirk's voice never has fit Shadow in my opinion. Nothing against him as an actor, but to even remotely sound like Shadow, I can tell he is straining his voice a ton.
Kirk's been Shadow for years already. Give it a rest.
This looks so GOOD!!
Kirk Thornton somehow nailed it at recording new lines for Shadow!
He still sounds like a Vegeta impersonator to me compared to past actors. If he toned down the rasp though...
Shadow: I’m the coolest
Inside the heroes wiki, Sonic and Shadow have finally become close friends in this game.
0-0 Uh...did Biolizard always have teeth?
nope, but it does look unsettling in a good way
No, it didn’t.
I can't recall it having those gross fluttery gills either.
@@MattD402 nope, but then again I don't think we've ever seen the biolizards full body in one shot up until now
That "Supporting Me" remix is fantastic
Shadow standing on straight business in his game
Clicked on the video not even 10 seconds went by, and this already looked raw to me.
Love it🖤🔥 imagine a setting that lets you change the voice actor, because David Humphrey would feel right at home😭👏🏽
man Shadow's aim attack likes Sonic and Black knight's Lancelot
The animations and visuals look nice, as expected. But did no one see how Shadow doesn't accelerate faster the more he runs?
I LOVE how he teleports and home attacks at the same tome
Sonic and Shadow are parallel counterparts
Give shadow multiple abilities that he can use mid game
"We shall meet again... Shadow!"
Just watching this game really makes me just want an adventure 3. It all looks amazing / I really can’t wait to play this. I was blown away for the Chaos Control segments.
The music slowing down when using chaos control is such a great touch
It always does that
I wish Shadow had guns again. Those weren't so bad
NO!!
@@Killerneon64 YES!!
MAYBE
I dont think we'll ever get the guns again because sega is trying to appeal to younger audiences. But also, the fanbase will complain that Shadow is an "edgelord" or too "cringey"🙄
I want the guns back too. Imagine better gun aiming and Shadow chaining combos together by using his homing attack teleport, quick-firing guns and chaos magic like devil may cry combat would be dope🔥
Bro… he’s got spears and explosions. Pump action MP5 has been permanently retired.
The Ultimate Lifeform is unstoppable as always
Shadow gives you hints during boss fights? Thats kind of cool.
Always loved that in the song Supporting Me for the Biolizard fight you can hear hints of Live and Learn
Classic Sonic: SPIN DASH
Modern Sonic: HOMING ATTACK
Shadow: HANDS
I hope the movement is more like frontiers/adventure instead of vanilla generations. The stiffness and lack of maneuverability is what forces the player into relying too much on going only forward.
This was my biggest dream, seeing gameplay of someone playing as a character other than sonic is absolutely legendary footage.
The sonic levels transition from side panel to rear panel is dope
It's the new Shadow the Hedgehog game! Sonic and Classic Sonic are there too i guess.
I just hate I gotta deal with Classic Sonic again.
People saying shadow got the adventure formula. But to be honest i dont even think it is based on adventure formula nor boost formula. It just gives me this frontiers vibe and thats it? I'm just scared.
imo it's Frontiers last island and Final Horizon level design, where they had some original levels that were pretty good. Just kinda them walking once again a fine line between Adventure and full on boost
The part where Shadow used Chaos Control and beat back the big orb reminded me of the final boss from Sonic and the Secret Rings! I’m glad they took that element from that game! Seems like Sonic Team is really pulling out all the stops for this game!
8:06 i love how the chaos control affects the music, is like boosting, it changes the way it sounds, i hope we could get something like a chaos control remix for every theme, just like the boosting version of every modern sonic level

I haven't been this excited in a very long time, this has actually made me feel excitement again. It looks fun and I genuinely look forward to it
This looks amazing! I will have to say though that I’m just a tad bit bummed that Shadow doesn’t have his sprint skating animation from SA2.
I’m excited for the shadow bit but the sonic one looks the same as the original😭
It looks like sonic generation with shadow dlc slapped on. I have a feeling shadow stages will be extremely short.
Am i wrong or did they make classic sonic's spikes longer?
That music is from Shadows game. It plays in the arc level.
I noticed that they added new textures to shadows model, instead of his body being overall smooth like in past games they added a furry/quill texture to add depth. You can see it clearly here 6:44 they even added cool textures to his gloves and inhibitor rings :D
Is shadow gonna be playable in modern Sonic's levels or just his separate story mode?
Really hard to tell. It seems that Shadow’s gameplay runs on the upgraded engine while the original levels are still on the old version, which means that they’d have to go the extra mile to get his style of gameplay working on the old version.
What I’m saying is that based on the gameplay of shadow and the remastered original, they seem to be two different games bundled into one rather than one big game.
My guess is no but who can say until it’s answered officially
@@CS-om3kj That's a two different games, calm down.
@@user-xs1dw3lj9n Uhh… did you reply to the right comment? Nobody needs to calm down, I was just answering a question as best as I could.
Hopefully we get the option to turn off music distortion when boosting like Frontiers.
I remember loving Shadow the Hedgehog because of its noticeably darker tone compared with previous Sonic games. I really wish we could get more of that in this day and age
This really is the year of Shadow. Can't wait for the sonic 3 trailer to drop, too. Genuinely hyped for this
Wow Imagine a remake of Sonic Adventure 2 with these graphics, but Sega doesn't do it because they didn't know where to put classic Sonic. because Green Hill and classic have to be present in everything now.
Freaking hate Classic with the Modern stuff ugh!
Green Hill Zone is in Sonic Adventure 2.

I like how shadow looks like he had his own unique gameplay style. Like a mix between modern sonic and adventure sonic. Looks fun! Hope then shadow campaign is like 9 levels to match classic and modern Sonic’s campaign, that would be sick.
Shout out to Kirk Thornton! The new voice direction suits Shadow very well!
He locked in yesss Kirk that’s what we want😁🖤💎
It does at least sound like he's trying to put more effort into this which is appreciated. The full game needs to be out first before I can get a solid read on it though.
@@Cloud-dt6xb yeah I wanna know what shadow says in game more but I just wanna say the line when shadow said “we’ll see which one of us is the true ultimate life form”was so badass I’m like it’s you shadow not some failed prototype😎😁🖤💎
@@Starrmonster02 Yeah so far it does sound so much better than anything he's done as Shadow previously, the better writting is helping alot too.
Is this a new game or re release of sonic generations with shadow in it?
Its a remaster of SOnic Generations with a Shadow Campaign added on to it.
@punkypony5165 thanks for the reply
Bet re-release/j
The Biolizard fight sure added a new twist with those arms popping up. In a way, it kind of helps the fight not be completely identical to the one from Sonic Adventure 2.
This is looking to be the first remake, remaster, port, that sonic-team will actually do a pretty good job at.
It doesn’t really look like those original levels? It feels almost forces-style with how “hallway” like it is without a dynamic camera
wasn’t expecting you here LateNightHalo
The games have had hallway-style levels since SA2
@@HyperShadic600 Camera-work makes all the difference. You don't really notice it until it's gone
@@HyperShadic600 But the purpose of the hallway wasn't the same back then, it was to connect multiple 3d open zone AND to build some speed.
Now i struggle to see the usefullness of the new straight line
@@aegishdaego From the gameplay vids I saw, it seems like these new levels are doing pretty much that same thing.
Why did they remove sonic looking backwards at the giant fish?
Yeah I noticed that too
they most likely didn't. try taking the same path as the player in the video did.
usually when sonic is busy performing an animation like rail hopping or stance changing they take priority over him looking back
Yup the game has it's flaws
As someone who played this game religiously as a kid, I guarentee you its still there, you just gotta be fast enough.
@@corel7966 They should probably fix the oversight then.
Now this is a Shadow the Hedgehog Sequal
0:18 the roll was such a nice attention to detail their actually cooking with this one
Shadows fall animation is the same fall Animation in sonic frontiers
I believe the Shadow part may be using the new engine, whereas the actual remaster of Sonic Generations is using the Generations engine, could be wrong though.
Shadow’s campaign is using the frontiers engine
So, aside from Shadow and his levels, what's new? Couldn't it have just been a Shadow DLC or something?
Well that's what it is but a remaster along with it
Why would they make DLC for a 13-year-old game that isn't on modern consoles
It's a situation like Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. It's basically 2 games in one: A Remaster of Sonic Generations and a New game featuring shadow.
The chao being present more than ever
Some chao rescue missions for the main game. Both classic and modern sonic have the drop dash apparently. Then there's the legacy sonic adventure skin for modern sonic.
This actually looks incredible, I’m definitely getting Sonic Adventure vibes, good vibes for once with a Sonic game.
One of my xmas game memo not played a 3d sonic game in a fair while and so good Shadow got a solo game in a long while.
And Kirk Thornton still proves he’s a average Shadow at best
I still miss Jason’s Shadow fitting him perfectly plus aggressively
At least he sounds somewhat like him. This is sadly the best we'll ever get out of his Shadow
