Newly registered "Sonic X Shadow Generations" domain has been spotted

Screenshot from 2024-01-30 09-19-01.png

Rumours about an upcoming Sonic Generations Remaster have been swirling around in several websites, with apparent leaks floating around with hints at a possible port or even a remaster of the now 10+ years old title.

Today, a very intuitive fan by the name of MbKKssTBhz5 managed to find a new domain registration by the name of "Sonic X Shadow Generations", registered back in January 9th, 2024, which adds fuel to the circulating rumour about a possible imminent announcement for a resurgence of the Generations entry in the Sonic franchise. While fans where quick to catch the domain, trying to access it returns a "403 Error", with the message that the access "request [was] blocked".



It's possible that this could be a fan-registered website, however, some people have compared this to the Sonic Superstars leaks that made their rounds a few months ago, with a similar masking system to block any access request to the website, so it could very well be a legitimate website registered by SEGA in preparation for an upcoming announcement (which many cite could be in the upcoming PlayStation "State of Play" this Wednesday, January 31st.

Out of all possible names, that is the worst one they could've chosen.

Still, it'll be interesting to see what they have cooking, if this is real (which it likely is), and if this isn't by Blind Squirrel (the people who did Colors Ultimate). If it is by Blind Squirrel, then for the love of god they better have learned from their mistakes or this is going to go badly.

I mean... they're going to add Shadow. Right? That's added content.

That could be a possibility, though what would they base the new levels on? Games that came after Generations? Games before Gens that they didn't bother to touch? Entirely new stuff? ...I guess given the Shadow theme, maybe more SA2 levels?

We'll just have to see. 🤷‍♂️

We'll see.

In the meantime, can someone tell me the issues of the Sonic Colors Remaster?
Somehow, Sega managed to fuck up a perfectly functional game when "remastering" it. That's quite an accomplishment.
While this review here goes for a more comedic approach to it (your mileage may vary in finding it funny or not), it does bring up how much of a mess it is, from the more guess nitpick-like points to the "how the fuck did they manage to mess this up" stuff.

    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, or well only the demo with mindchamber's style was on newgrounds

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Fun fact @SylverReZ: iirc one of the goals on the fnf Kickstarter stated that pico 2 would be finished but the Kickstarter didnt get enough money for that goal to be fullfiled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, FNF sucks, their community is toxic as hell.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @SylverReZ its a single player game
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, Yea but it has a shitton of mods with their own songs and stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and quite a lot of people involved in those mods get cancelled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Newgrounds wasn't the birth of FNF; rather, it was games where you beat up celebrities and parodies.

    FNF was born from Game Jams
