Sonic Generations Gameplay Video Shows Chemical Plant and City Escape
Written Tuesday, August 09, 2011 By Richard Walker

We're hoping that Sonic Generations will be the return to form that we've been wanting from the blue spiky one for the last 15 years or so, and with Sonic celebrating his 20th anniversary this year, it seems like high time that everyone's favourite blue hedgehog get his groove back.

German gaming site, Gameswelt has managed to get its hands on a five-minute gameplay video showing the reimagined and iconic Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Chemical Plant stage from both 2D and 3D perspectives, and the Sonic Adventure 2 City Escape, which we saw at E3 2011.

We actually reckon that Sonic Generations is looking pretty good ahead of its release in November 2011. For our hands-on preview of the Green Hill Zone and our impressions of the remade City Escape Zone from E3 2011, hit the link.

This games coming out GRRRREAT! Hope no one comes in here with their negativity about this game like they ALWAYS DO!

and also, can we at least get another beta but this time with modern Sonic's gameplay?

Wait.. Sonic moves really fast, and as such, his species would likely have a short lifespan. He's how old, now? How has he not died of old age? =P

They've finally done something which looks like a sequel to Sonic and Knuckles. Sonic 4 is more like an attempt at remaking the old games.

It's official, Netetrader sucks!

As for Sonic Generations, the official topic, Sonic is going to the right way now. I'm looking forward to Sonic Generations, hopefully it will be favored by critics this time.

Looking really good with this video

Also good to hear 'Escape From The City' still used in the City Escape levels, now I won't be able to get the tune out of my head, the same affect as when I first played it Sonic Adventure 2 On DreamCast

i loved the old sonic games but they should just leave him alone now as making constant crap new sonic games just spoils the whole sonic generation,

but dont get me wrong i hope its a success but how many sonic games in the last 10 years have actually achieved this!

chem plant looks nice and the additions to it are cool. City escape looks great and the 2D side of it seems interesting. Always a fan of that level's music. This game will be the first sonic game i will get for a system since Sonic DX Director's Cut

This game keeps looking better and better. I wonder if there will be any other level's that are remade for this game. Personally I'd love to see White Jungle. I can't wait for this game to come out :)

Don't care too much for the remix of the City Escape song.. but I love that they have the stage in Generations. It was my fav from SA2B.

I have never been more bored looking at Chemical Plant Zone. Whoever was playing it needs to learn what Sonic is all about, SPEED!

That being said, this game looks crazy awesome! I can't wait to play the 2D levels, and if they pick the good ones from the 3D (City Escape!), then it'll be even better.

And to think Nintendo release the same games for every generation console they make.

At least the games change a little. This is the same sonic crap! Although the levels look amazing. They could do with making new ones!

Seriously they need to put a chao garden in. I mean they can't just leave the billboards with chao on them and not put them in there.

This actually has me excited now. City Escape looked great in both 2D and 3D, as well as chemical plant zone. Whoever was playing was trying to show the level off, which is nice, but I didn't get a Sonic feel from HOW he played. However, Im sure when I play it, I'll get the Sonic feel. Looks great so far.

@27 Good eye you have thet are is Mighty the Armadilloand the other is Ray the Squirrel, both from the Sonic Arcade game, but Mighty was also in Knuckles: Chaotix 32X.

This is looking good, looks like they have taken the boost from Sonic Unleashed and are using it in the 3D parts of the game. Just a shame that Metal wasn't shown in the Chemical Plant section of it.

I've said it since playing the 20 day demo, but does nobody else find Sonic to be really small in this game? Like toooo small?! He looks tiny in comparison to the blue gel obstacle in Chemical Plant zone :/

I see the Slide ability is back. I hate that ability, it was often glitchy for me in previous titles. I also see a...Skateboard power-up?

Anyway, I'm loving the music. Nice to hear the classic Chemical Plant music for Old Sonic as well as the original Escape From The City for Modern Sonic. Loving those. As for the new songs, the Chemical Plant remix for Modern Sonic is alright, but the Escape From The City retro mix for Old Sonic is awesome.

Looking good but why no animals in the badniks and why no score either? Thats the only thing i dont like so far.

This video also goes to show that 2d sonic is still better than 3d. The 2d stages are mych better i think with loads of depth, loving the 2d version of the sa2 city level and the skateboard.

Ironic as this sounds coming from an old school gamer but that Chemical Plant Zone looks more fun in 3-D... and the music ain't bad either. This game will be satisfying on both fronts and who knows, some old school Sonic fans might just like the idea of some of their old school levels turned 3-D. :)

The 2d demo played just like the classics. My only complaint is he seemed a little faster than I remember. I only say that because I keep running into things.
