Shadow generations should have been a DLC

[Evil Ninetales]

So I still have ( and still play ) the original SG game. It looks great. It runs great and I can see zero reasons why you would remaster it outside of a modern console release ( But couldn't it just be ported??? )

This just feels like what burnout paradise did where the original looks almost identical to the remaster and there was almost zero justification to "remaster" it.

So now if I want shadows's story I have to pay £45 which includes a game I already own and still play.

They don't even use the same engine and you can tell. Shadow is way more advanced has more technical aspects then the old generation does.
Doesn't even play the same.

I'd personally prefer if it was standalone but oh well.

Coulda fooled me. The footage I've seen they both look completely identical outside of "Wow the maps have chao in them now!"

It's certainly long enough to be a stand alone. This is more like Sega still not trusting sonic team to do a stand alone spin off from sonic. This was likely a compromise decision.

The difference it quite obvious.

Shadow is using the same engine frontier had.

Sonic generations is still mostly relying on the old engine and the hsvcik physics.

And honestly I feel like shadow feels great even the 2d sections were enjoyable for me and I HATED boost 2d section.

I'm loving Shadow Gens so far but... yeah I don't know if I can justify this as a full purchase for people who already own the original Sonic Generations.

I think it's a fantastic deal for the many, MANY people who haven't played Generations, or don't have a great way to access it on consoles.

It would have been much better to offer this to Steam users for cheaper if they already owned Gens. But, yknow, money.

The game took me 3:52 hours to complete with some being afk, imagine trying to convince some to drop $50-$60 for this lol.
