We need more videos like this covering the many PC ports of Sonic games, if this was beyond useful, covering all the others will allow people to easily breeze through modding their games and experience them in much better ways.
0:06 I did get introduced to the blue rat by the movies(mainly the second one) and it’s kinda funny how sonic generations was my second sonic game with sonic 2 being my first
btw direct 3d9ex is not obsolete with the release of 3d11. even though 3d11 is preferred, if you get way more performance with 3d9 like i do, its recommended to stay with that
I'm really into Generations modding and I didn't even know about some of these. Absolutely gonna download the PS3 cutscenes and the Windows Icon mods later.
@@Stripes404 And Generations is the only game I've played that literally not allows you to enter the game if you change your resolution or refresh rate or when your device switches to cpu. Unless you remove the created configs in the game folder to reset the configurationtool
@@Stripes404 Someone even made a rewrite of the Sonic Generations ConfigurationTool to fix it. It even stops the need to get both the 64bit and 32bit version of visualc. There was also a mod to bypass the config errors without replacing the original tool, but it didn't work for me
Mods I'd want if I had Sonic Generations PC(to update the experience)... Classic Sonic Redesign Mod, to not be that odd shade of blue. Mod to replace the Tornado in Modern Tails' mission with the Tornado-1 from Unleashed(biplane form). Planet Wisp Replacement Mod(can we all agree Planet Wisp wasn't the greatest in Generations?). Ideally, it'd combine the 3D Parts of Modern Planet Wisp with the 3D Parts of Colors Planet Wisp, and give Classic Sonic the 2D Colors stuff. Change the Time Eater to the 3DS version. New Additions: Multiple Playable Characters. Modern Metal Sonic fight. New Stages: Sunset Heights from Forces, but Without the Invasion. Empire City Kingdom Valley A mod based on Hidden World from Lost World. Modern Death Egg from Sonic Forces, with aspects of Prison Hall thrown in. Huge Crisis from Sonic Rush And Two Original Ideas my brain won't shut up about: Eggpire Zone: an Eggman stage whose color scheme consists of red, grey, and caution tape, like Iron Jungle and Press Factory Act 1. Enemies consist of Egg Pawns, Egg Flappers, and Cop Speeders but redesigned based on the Forces Egg Pawn. Island Rush Zone: a Green Hill-esque level with the above mentioned enemies. The checkered dirt is diamond patterned instead of square. There aren't any Palm Trees, Totem Poles, or Ruins. There's instead sand colored bridges and undecorated christmas trees. The grass, while still striped, is a bit darker.
I wish there was a Real Third Person Camera mod for the game. Why Does that Type of Right Stick Camera Mod Not Exist for the game when it does for Forces!?
Hey, you said you were going to update the description with the latest Direct3D 11, is it any good? (since u didn't add it to the description when it got released)
Idea for a Mod: better Sonic Voice that uses the SG retranslated mod that everyone can hear what Sonic says instead of "こんにちは、ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグのソニックです。" (i translated "Hello, My name is Sonic the Hedgehog" on Japanese), add More Voicelines, remastered Sonic Unleashed reactions, references to older Sonic Games like Sonic 06 and more
I've never heard a single person complain about the PC version having issues and being better than the console versions, and the game's been out on Steam for over a decade. Something must be wrong with your computer because you're obviously full of it.
Just because you yourself have not heard or seen anyone with these issues, does not mean they don't exist. You can find pretty much every issue he listed, as well as their fixes, by doing a simple google search.
@@koopaeliminator4148 None of the issues he listed are anything unique to Generations, they're typical issues for games on PC released for older operating systems, and even then the Generations port is more stable than most. People with these issues are definitely not in the majority. Plus, the tidbit about the graphical downgrade is completely fabricated and without a source. I've looked far and wide and can't find jack shit about this. Saying it's a shoddy port is blatant misinformation. It wasn't shoddy when it released.
@@captainkappa9067 You do bring up a fair point, some of these are common amongst older PC titles. Especially the older Lego games, (though those issues are more tied to graphics). And yes, the people who experience issues like the config errors are definitely not the majority. But like I said earlier, that doesn't mean those issues don't exist, and there are fixes for them. Just gotta know where to look. As to whether or not I experience them... critical errors used to be very often on my old desktop, not so much on my new one. I had one maybe once, and it was when I installed it to said new desktop.
@@koopaeliminator4148 Fair, I just felt that calling the port shoddy was unfair when these issues seemingly aren't the majority, Of course, for the few who do have them, should have the ability to fix them.
5:12 I personally wouldn’t recommend this one anymore I would instead recommend Sonic generations rewritten which rewrites the story of the game to make it more consistent with the timeline explains certain things and improving the characterisation to make the story of the game a lot more enjoyable then what it currently is
for some god forsaken reason someone decided that the Sparkles remain in hub world code should be in GAMEPLAY and OBJECTS??? why isn't it in graphics and effects Lol
it may be because these cutscenes are demanding so they make it prerendered like the time eater Cutscene there is so much going on the XBOX 360 and PS3 probably wouldn't have handled them, the biggest evidence is Sonic Unleashed
i dont know if this is because of the mods but I cant move left anymore in the level select, it works fine inside a level but not in the select a level
Am I the only one hoping there was a fix for the random stutter issues some people and me experience? My game runs a smooth 60fps but will freeze for some seconds at complete random, them resume normally. This can happen up to a hundred times in normal gameplay for an unknown reason.
It wont let me install the mods tho. "An error has occurred during the download. Servers might be down or overloaded. Please try again later." whats the catch?
Is there a fix for when sonic keeps moving to side on his own? I hate when im.playin and that happens out of nowhere and i cant play the game bcuz when i run he just keeps side stepping.
Hi i'm the creator of iluminati generations (not proud)
You should be.
@@XPool no owo
I fkn loved that thing
That's on your resume now
Love that mod.
I just got Sonic Generations on the PC today just to Mod it. I was going thru so many videos and this is exactly what I was looking for. THANK YOU
I also got the game on Steam just to mod it, but I also wanted to play this game again after several years
i also got the mod from a ''legal'' website
Hedgemodmanager better be in the lore
it technically is if you only stick to the qol and lore accurate mods

I just wanted to come back to this video and actually compliment you this video is really good and all the mods presented are awesome
Omg ive been modding generations for YEARS! And this video is STILL the best one u made, keep up the AMAZING work man! Ur doing great 😉
2:30 I don't know about you but I think that playing Sonic Forces with mods its a very good experience.
This is exactly the video I was looking for. Tysm for making this.
Hopefully, sega's taking notes for Sonic x Shadow generations 🙏
oh boy i hope hedgemodmanager is gonna make an appearance
edit: YEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH WOOOOOOO
btw direct 3d9ex is not obsolete with the release of 3d11. even though 3d11 is preferred, if you get way more performance with 3d9 like i do, its recommended to stay with that
5:04 just made me have to subscribe
that was too funny
Woah. Woah. Woah. I can play PERSONA music in SONIC?!?!
My life is complete
Great Video. Genuinely one of the most helpful videos on youtube for Generations mods.
I'm really into Generations modding and I didn't even know about some of these. Absolutely gonna download the PS3 cutscenes and the Windows Icon mods later.
Just so everyone knows, Direct3D 11 is out now, the description just hasn't been updated.
0:26 i expected a funny joke and the shock that there wasnt made it 10x funnier
There are a lot of mods for sonic generations its not even funny! Love your editing and videos! :)
There is one mod I suggest to unleashed fans. It adds chip's bracelet to Sonic's design. Not a huge improvement, I just thought it looked better.
5:01 I feel like I've been pranked.
I am interesting about adding mods to Sonic Generations on PC. I still have the Xbox 360 version, but I may reconsider later on.
THIS
WAS
SO
USEFUL
Modding sonic games helps them reach full potential
5:02 I thought I was actually receiving a call lmao
Thankfully, Sonic Generations is backwards compatible on Xbox One and Xbox series consoles
Sonic generations really needs a remaster. There's so much errors to fix just to play it on modern tech
Literally every game has errors to fix. Nothing new here
@@Stripes404 Okay? And the solution is to fix it. You don't just leave your broken faucet just because other faucets in the world are broken
@@Stripes404 And Generations is the only game I've played that literally not allows you to enter the game if you change your resolution or refresh rate or when your device switches to cpu. Unless you remove the created configs in the game folder to reset the configurationtool
@@UltraCenterHQ Huh. Never had that issue before.
@@Stripes404 Someone even made a rewrite of the Sonic Generations ConfigurationTool to fix it. It even stops the need to get both the 64bit and 32bit version of visualc.

Thanks for this, just got modding working on my steam deck!
subbing and liking for the sonic cereal reference.
Good video XMan
I got Generations on PC to mod it but I was never able to get the game to start.
Good job on the video, I needed these mods.
This is seriously the best 3D Boost game.
You won’t believe that when the results screen music swap was brought up I was thing about the results music from persona 4, goddammit ._.
Mods I'd want if I had Sonic Generations PC(to update the experience)...
Classic Sonic Redesign Mod, to not be that odd shade of blue.

Change the Time Eater to the 3DS version.
New Additions:
Multiple Playable Characters.
Modern Metal Sonic fight.
New Stages:
Sunset Heights from Forces, but Without the Invasion.
Empire City
Kingdom Valley
A mod based on Hidden World from Lost World.
Modern Death Egg from Sonic Forces, with aspects of Prison Hall thrown in.
Huge Crisis from Sonic Rush
And Two Original Ideas my brain won't shut up about:
Eggpire Zone: an Eggman stage whose color scheme consists of red, grey, and caution tape, like Iron Jungle and Press Factory Act 1. Enemies consist of Egg Pawns, Egg Flappers, and Cop Speeders but redesigned based on the Forces Egg Pawn.
Island Rush Zone: a Green Hill-esque level with the above mentioned enemies. The checkered dirt is diamond patterned instead of square. There aren't any Palm Trees, Totem Poles, or Ruins. There's instead sand colored bridges and undecorated christmas trees. The grass, while still striped, is a bit darker.
The XBOX one version has high graphics and almost no bugs in visuals
I thought the pc version was supposed to be really good? What happened to it?
9:21 HEY THAT'S ME!!!!!!!!!
Same
5 MONTHS LATE SQUAD WHERE YOU AT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
The inclusion of matt is amazing
Thankyou man
best video on generations i’ve seen
6:39 Yeah the controller disconnecting was so ANNOYING for me in this game glad to see that there's a fix for that now 9:57a.m. 11/25/2022
I was having the same problem too.
Same for me.
5:02 Matthasnocuts? I didn't expect him lol 😂😂😂😂 9:53a.m. 11/25/2022
Available on steam this aged well £50 bundle
Please don't age like milk, please don't age like milk.
Thank you!

Wait a freaking minute... wasn't the original Generations script made in English and THEN translated into Japanese?
thanks king
HE PREDICTED THE FUTURE WHAT THE FUCK
THE ONE PIECE IS REAAAAALLL
Underrated channel dude, I enjoyed this video, keep it up dawg 🦦
i wanted to download hedge mod manager and it told me its an virus?
i need help
Hey, you said you were going to update the description with the latest Direct3D 11, is it any good? (since u didn't add it to the description when it got released)
Sonic Cereal is mid
While installing Gens and the unleashed project i realized i really need to get a new nvme ;_;

ok I have this issue where most essential mods like direct3d 9ex crash my game or FXpipeline don't even boot it up, so what should I do?

Oh no. Why was Matthasnocuts in this video...?
I know no one cares about lost world but could you do a video like this for it?
🤫
2:24 you thought it was PRONOUNCED HEDGIE??? people are ridiculous
bro when discord called u i thought i was actually being called 💀
5:12 I personally wouldn’t recommend this one anymore I would instead recommend Sonic generations rewritten which rewrites the story of the game to make it more consistent with the timeline explains certain things and improving the characterisation to make the story of the game a lot more enjoyable then what it currently is
I'd just use the mod that changes results song, to add the P4 version😊
honestly im just goin to install mods like buff luigi over sonic
SONIC CEREAL
Only mod needed is the real hedgehog mod. Anything else wouldn’t be lore friendly.
1:04 Sam? Lol 😂 😂 😂 😂 9:43a.m. 11/25/2022
Anyone here after sonic x shadow generations was announced?
for some god forsaken reason someone decided that the Sparkles remain in hub world code should be in GAMEPLAY and OBJECTS???
why isn't it in graphics and effects Lol
what about the white world mod and customizable sonic
a sin you did not include sonic 06 generations mod.
3:47 Wait those are PRE RENDERED cutscenes? Why? Why didn't they just use the in game engine for those? 9:50a.m. 11/25/2022
it may be because these cutscenes are demanding so they make it prerendered like the time eater Cutscene there is so much going on the XBOX 360 and PS3 probably wouldn't have handled them, the biggest evidence is Sonic Unleashed
@@SonicVelocity_ @Sonic Velocity well the first cutscene I get I suppose but why the last one? It's just them talking 4:15p.m. 12/22/2022
When I Try to download the community codes it keeps saying no code updates can someone help me fix this problem
HedgeModManager doesn't work it says to not run it
2:59 What is that PS1 Forces case? 😂😂😂😂 9:48a.m. 11/25/2022
i need a mod which makes the shadow fight harder 😭
i dont know if this is because of the mods but I cant move left anymore in the level select, it works fine inside a level but not in the select a level
What mods can I pick to make the performance better
D3d9ex/d3d11
The disable loading hints isn't in any of the code sections for me.
Its renamed to disable afirical loading times
how do you get stage mods because when I activate a stage mod it wont work
Am I the only one hoping there was a fix for the random stutter issues some people and me experience?
My game runs a smooth 60fps but will freeze for some seconds at complete random, them resume normally. This can happen up to a hundred times in normal gameplay for an unknown reason.
U got the game on hdd or ssd?
I just want a locked 120fps without it screwing up the controls.
Any reason it says Virus detected when i try to install the mod loader not really looking to take that risk
3D9? what about 3D11??
It wont let me install the mods tho. "An error has occurred during the download. Servers might be down or overloaded. Please try again later." whats the catch?
I don't have any issues with the pc port what you on about?
You can't tell me discord generations Isn't the best mod
Is there a fix for when sonic keeps moving to side on his own? I hate when im.playin and that happens out of nowhere and i cant play the game bcuz when i run he just keeps side stepping.
WHY THE F--- DO YOU HAVE 0 RINGS, 25 LIVES, WHILE PLAYING CRISIS CITY ACT 2!?
It’s not hard it’s a bloody sonic game
Where can i find the sparkles code??
a new sonic game in 2025?! better be a remaster if sa1 and sa2
No, he was joking. XPool was making a joke on how long Frontiers took.
Remaster? That's the director's cut
how do i put codes into the hedgemodmanager?
i just use hedgemod manager. its verry easy.
I WILL TRY THIS, AND IF IT WORKS, THANK YOU! 🥺🥺🥺
Velp
1:34 is not funny with this joke.
