No, Sonic has had side quests since the chaos emeralds. It's only the indivdual levels you're supposed to beat as fast as possible. A whole game without sidequests that you can finish in one day is a waste of money.

But isn't that what some Sonic fans want but SEGA refuse to listen because they want to make the games longer with gimmicks, such as the Werehog levels in Sonic Unleashed, and then listen to that fanbase with Sonic 4, which has only 4 zones?

Sonic 4 doesn't just have 4 Zones. Part 1 does, but remember the game isn't fully out yet.

Sorry, I was referring to Episode 1 on that post.

There's a difference between major gimick and major sidequest. Anyway, I don't really understand your point.

Also, episodal games are supposed to be short and cheap. Sonic 4 ep 1 is allowed to be short because it wasn't full priced and we should be getting more parts to it later.

Sonic Generations is apparently going to be ported onto the PC.

I can't help but feel that this is a nod toward to Sonic CD, lol.

Anyone love Casino Night Zone?

* The Nintendo 3DS version is being co-developed by Sonic Team and Dimps.
* The director of the 3DS version is Tetsu Katano, who directed Sonic and the Black Knight.
* 2D side-scrolling gameplay for both Classic Sonic and Modern Sonic.
* Momentum based gameplay and platforming are fully featured in the Classic Sonic gameplay.
* Modern Sonic plays a lot like the Sonic Rush games and Nintendo DS version of Sonic Colours.
* Nintendo 3DS version will have exclusive stages and boss stages.
* Green Hill Zone will be the only shared stage across all versions.
* Casino Night Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is confirmed for the Nintendo 3DS version.
* Story has some differences between the console and Nintendo 3DS versions, but will be fundamentally the same.
* Console version will have many characters, but the Nintendo 3DS version will only feature the ones who are integral to the story.
* There is no Wii version. Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka says this is because “The primary goal for the console versions of Generations was reimagining the series’s classic zones in vivid, high-definition graphics.”
* Sonic the Hedgehog 3‘s Launch Base Zone Big Arm boss fight is in the game, which suggests that stage is also in the game.
* Classic Eggman appears in the above mentioned boss.
* Exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS version are challenges that you can unlock via StreetPass or Play Coins.
* The game also features an exclusive two-player race mode via local wireless connection.
* Modern Sonic stages take advantage of the 3D feature more than the Classic Sonic stages. An example shown and detailed is a part in the Green Hill Zone where Modern Sonic smashes through the bottom of a giant totem pole. The camera then moves to the front of Sonic and lets you see the rest of the pole collapse behind Sonic as he escapes.
* The 3D depth is also highlighted when Modern Sonic occasionally moves between the foreground and the background.
* Jun Senoue and his music team are working on the music for the game.
* Nintendo Power thinks the handful of tracks they’ve heard so far are “fantastic”.
* Special Stages are confirmed and are designed in Sonic Heroes style. As expected, you earn Chaos Emeralds from these stages. Whether or not Super Sonic will be your reward for earning all Chaos Emeralds is unclear right now.

While it's a shame that there's no Wii version (though obvious), I'm happy there's a 3DS one. So Modern Modern Sonic just uses the Sonic Rush engine?

Also, yay Casino Night Zone. Sonic 2 is my favourite 2D Sonic game, though I'd be even happier if we got Chemical Plant Zone, too.

Yeah, Modern Sonic uses the Rush engine, or something similar to it.

It's probably a good idea in the end; I don't think Sonic Team would want to risk a new gameplay engine to make use of the 3DS's new features on a landmark title, only for it to fall flat. Plus, it would cover the last leg of Sonic gameplay that hasn't been covered as of yet in Generations, aside from the Adventure engines.

Is it a bad thing to buy two versions of the same game, because I'm beginning to plan on getting the 360 and 3DS version.

Only if you can't afford it. And Casino Night Zone being in the 3DS crap I hate all of the casino level in the Sonic as I find them to be dull and slow.

Anyway, I honestly hope they don't mess this one up like they did the Wii Version of Sonic Unleashed. I seriously hoped for so much more. Not to say I didn't like it, but it need more. IF YOU REALLY WANT MORE, SCREAM IT UP LOUDER!

...I am so getting a 3DS for Christmas this year...

I'll make a wishlist of stages I want to see in each version of the game, whilst making sure all the types of levels are covered, and assuming a certain Sonic game will have 2 stages taken from it, no more no less.

360/PS3------------------------------3DS

Genesis era:

Sonic 1: Green Hill---------------------Green Hill
Sonic 2: Oil Ocean/Chemical Plant------Casino Night
Sonic 3: Ice Cap----------------------Hydrocity/Launch Base
S&K: Sky Sanctuary-------------------Lava Reef
Sonic 3D Blast: Volcano Valley---------Diamond Dust
Sonic CD: Palmtree Panic--------------Collision Chaos

Dreamcast era:

Sonic Adventure: Speed Highway------Sky Deck
Sonic Adventure 2: City Escape-------Final Rush
Sonic Heroes: Frog Forest------------Grand Metropolis
ShTH: Glyphic Canyon----------------Final Haunt

Modern Era:

Sonic 06: Wave Ocean---------------Crisis City
Sonic Unleashed: Rooftop Run--------Crimson Carnival
S4E1: Splash Hill Zone---------------Lost Labyrinth
Sonic Colors: Tropical Resort---------Aquarium Park

Dunno about any handheld Sonic levels.

I'm probably wrong but I think that the 3DS will have more handheld Sonic levels than Console levels. Lets not forget also the other lesser know Sonic games like Sonic Drift and such. I wonder if ( and this is my brain drifting off) Sonic Riders stages would be included
