German gaming website PlayFront.de has released seven new screenshots from the Seaside Hill stage in the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Sonic Generations. In this batch, we get another peek at Classic Sonic in the new underwater section. We can also see a new section where Modern Sonic will have to dodge past rolling rocks through a narrow path.
Check out all seven of the new screenshots below:

you deserved and recieved a ton of replies
WELL YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY THE MORE THE MERRIER!
i know that this qout is from shadow by the way……
roflmfao
“Cheese, get ‘em!”
“OK. Here we go!”
~Big
hehe easy as cake
Come and gets some!

Go play Sonic Heroes to understand half of these quotes.
Find the computer room! ” shut up Vector wrong game.

I’m hoping you can jump in the waterfalls the same way you can in Sandopolis Zone.
Would be a nice throwback to that~
*shutters* still haven’t gotten past that zone. ( *^*)
Them i guess its a date to DIE for!
Hey thats my line
We’re not going there, are we?
Yes we are!
sonic- yes we are!
Yes we are!
It’s no use… But why can’t I defeat you?
Because we’re Sonci Heores!!
cuz we use the power of teamwork!
we need sonic heroes 2 im tired of playing just sonic
Tails Adventures, Tails Skypatrol, Knuckles Chaotix, Shadow the Hedgehog… All these great non- sonic games are going to waste!! If you don’t like those, you’ve got Sonic R, Sonic Chronicles, the Sonic Advance series, Sonic Rush, Sonic Rivals, Sonic 2006, oh so many things! How can you possibly say you’re sick of just Sonic when we’ve had so many picnics with his beloved friends and family? Even Dr. Robotnik has joined the bandwagon and become playable at one point!!
I know, you’ve got a lot of great games in that list to play, and you desperately want to thank me but just don’t have the time.
Anyway, to keep this on topic – Seaside Hill is looking gorgeous. Not sure how they’re going to make it work without Tails and Knuckles, but I trust them more than ever now!! Good luck guys! Generations is going to PWN.
Name one game that showed sonic or his friends have a picnic BESIDES generations
It’s not about how many existed, it’s about how long they’ve gone making just Sonic playable in the main story in multiple games in a row.
Games with only Sonic are cool and games with his friends are cool (depending on the execution of these games). But it’d be better to mix it up. Don’t make games with his friends over and over or games with just Sonic over and over. We’ll get tired of it. If they do some with friends and some with him alone then we’d get both every now and then. =)
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY THE MORE THE MERRIER!
wrong game
i know its from shadow the hedgehog
Lol, but seriously I do like these screenshots, I wonder if Modern Sonic can go in the water cause if people remember Jungle Joyride at day time…instant kill when you lost boost energy.
that would be cool gonig under water dodgeing orca whales
You will be able to go underwater in 2D but I am not sure about 3D
Yeah cuz on chemical plant it showed modern sonic under water so i dont see why he wouldnt on this level.
It would be pretty cool in 3d underwater, so I hope SEGA introduce that.
But I doubt they will
They already did in Sonic Colors and in Chemical Plant. They MIGHT in this stage but I’m not sure. It’s possible some sections will kill you and some won’t, like in Sonic Adventure and even the classics.
Think about it. In Emerald Coast, touching the water doesn’t kill you unless you go into the deep end where it’s like a bottomless pit.
In Sonic Unleashed the water was covering large bottomless pits so if you fell in you’d die.
It’s not JUST the water that kills you. Think about how you could run ON water in Hydrocity Zone in Sonic 3 but there was still level underneath to be played, but in Ice Cap Zone there was no stage sections under the water and if you fell in the water you would die because it was a bottomless pit. (So it’s not JUST 3D games that did this.)
I meant underwater in 3d from behind sonic rather than side scrolling at his side. So I know it’s been done 2d in Colours but not in 3d since Sonic Adventure (unless I’ve forgotten a different game )
Not on top of the water btw
3d water was in sonic adventure and the sequel
I meant Unleashed 3d style
Their pullin out all the tricks!
In that first screen featuring Classic Sonic; what’s up with that random Spinner? I though each stage would only feature Badniks from the game they represented, and last I checked the Flappers were the basic flying enemies/Homing Attack fodder in Heroes.
…Not that I’m the kind of person who cares about that kind of minor detail oversight stuff, mind you. It just kinda caught me off guard is all.
I’m hoping that’s just bat’s just a temp, and that the bat will be replaced by a Egg-flapper. They do behave in practically the same way, so maybe Sega used the Spinners as stand-ins before the modelled the Egg-flappers.
Leave the flying ones to Tails
Classic stage of Seaside Hill looks beautiful.
FWOGGYEE!!!!!
Wow! Look at all those armored trains!
You wanna race?
OKAY REALLY THIS IS GONNA TRUN OUT GREAT IM NOT THE TPE SONICFANBOY THAT WOULD LOSE BUT FOR THIS GAME I LITTRALLY ALMOST FUCKING LOST MY MIND (THANK GOD I DIDNT OR ELSE ID BE IN A MENTAL HOME AND WONT BE ABLE PLAY GENERTAUIONS XD) WHEN I FIRST SAW THIS STAGE ANOUNECED FOR THE GAME I WAS PISSED OFF LIKE MOST PEOPLE BUT TO BE HONEST ID ACTUALLY PREFER THIS OVER EGG FLEET NOW WERID HUH BUT THERES ONE THING GONNA PISS ME OFF ABOUT THIS STAGE WE DONT GET TO PLAY AS ANY OTHER CHRACTHERS I WOULDNT CARE ABOUT THE OTHER STAGES BUT I SOOOOOOOOO WANTED PLAY AS TAILS AND KNUCKLES IN THIS LEVEL DX
Then i guess its a game to DIE for!
Hey! That’s my line!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcLAsZ5EVhE
what the hell? i just umuted the video… stupid voice overs
it would be funny if the orca chase was incorpreted into this level
lol orca whales have been in more games than silver… poor silver….
I hate Sonic Heroes. Don’t try and argue because it’s just a video game and just because you like it and I don’t doesn’t mean we have to hate each other, but I tried playing it again recently and found it overly-hard with poor collision detection and no sense of speed. But these screenshots… look great. Sonic Generations can even make me look forward to the levels from the games I hate… this game cannot fail.
what console did you pay it on? cuz the PS2 version is not good
True. PS2 version is CRAP but PC one is good. Sonic Heroes demo was the first sonic game I ever played but It’s definitly not my fav Sonic game, It’s ok but not amazing.
The GC is the best version out of all three…PS2 is the worse one
Unfortunately I played it on the GC and still hated it.
I also played in on the GC and your right it is the best verison. Seems to me that Sega had GC in mind when originally creating this game until the other two wanted it as well
GC version confirmed god tier.
ps2 version has to many glitches worst graphics of all the three, i think sega had very little experience with making games on the xbox and ps2
I don’t blame you. It’s not the all the technical stuff you hated cuz I had GameCube version and, well unlike you, I didn’t HATE it, but I got board of it after the first run.
Level design: Bland
Music: Uninspiring
Dialogue: Cheesy
Story: Where???
Progress: Repetitive
Graphics: Meh
So I was okay with the game and was able to tolerate. It wasn’t anything “horrible” to me. I did like some of the music. Just that most of the music wouldn’t get stuck in my head is all. =p
However this stage does look MUCH better than the original Seaside Hill to me. A lot less bland even with the same enviromental design. C:
._. Music uninspiring….dialogue cheesy…..excuse my french but ‘the fuck?’
***hums “What I’m made of” & Grand metropolis theme********
come again with the uninspiring music……
And your probably didn’t pay attention to the FOUR different stories revolving around the 7 zones.
Team Heroes: Have three days to stop “Eggman”
Team Dark: Shadow wants answers from eggman about his “problem” Omega is out for revenge, Rouge wants Eggman’s treasure. Rouge finds hundreds of Shadow pods. Doesn’t Know if shadow is the real one
Team Rose: Amy wants to find Sonic, Cream wants to find Chesse, Big wants to find froggy.(least interesting story I will admit)
Team Chaotix: The mission revolve around a mysterious client who ends up being eggman trapped in his own fleet.
All the while Neo Metal Sonic is gathering Data to it opinion of ” How fitting to have a robot king rule over a robot kingdom”
Plus Heroes was trying to imitate the feel of the classic games which is why it wasn’t Plot, plot, plot, plot, level, plot,plot,plot, boss,boss,plot,plot,plot, final battle.
So why don’t you “GET AWAY”
Lunar: sorry it wasn’t ment for you its to Foxboy
lol, it’s okay Will.
Noooooooo! Cream wants to find chochola!
Agreed with everything but the music. You didn’t like “What I’m Made Of” or “This Machine”?
Be careful… It’s steep here…
sonic heroes was also the first game i ever played as well exept i got it on ps2 and on literally every level i got a rank e because of the camera and the controls. but just recently i got it with the sonic pc collection and its alot easier and better graphics.
WOOOO
I really need to order the CE quickly but maybe enxt week before the end of September….It’s more of a mix of Seaside Hill and Ocean Palace 
Come on Novemeber… I can’t wait…
Must….
1. …Buy Sonic Generations
2. Pretend that i’m ill…
3. Stay at home to play it.
4. ???
5. PROFIT! AND BAD GRADES! (In school, S ranks in Generations of course..)
Seaside hill looks beautiful, really looking forward to seaside hill since i’ve spoiled myself too much. D:
You know , this level will be a Time Paradox by itself . I mean remember Sonic Heroes . Three characters helping each other out to pass the HUGE and LONG levels of the game . Not to mention Sonic’s comment after beating the boss of the final level : ” I wouldn’t have made it without you guys ” .
So how come Sonic can now speed accross the level without a problem ? What about the walls only breakable by Knuckles ? Sure , he’s got the Sonic Boost know , but if he’s going back in time , then the level should be the same , so how about the huge holes where you had to use Tails to get passed it ?
That’s what I was afraid about when I was thinking about a Sonic Heroes level . But oh well , what’s to complain ? The level is magnificent . I’m just bragging about details ^^
You are thinking too hard. Go and have a lie down.
Boost, Homing Attack, Sliding, Trick Shots, Blasting through with Sonic Speed, Sonic is smarter now, he can find ways to to past through these obstacles without the help of Knuckles and Tails. Plus, don’t forget about the tag along feature so pretty much we can play Seaside Hill modern and heroes style
Here’s the thing: It’s been said that while not as strong as Knuckles and Shadow, Sonic has a lot of upper-body strength, and he probably has the strongest kicking strength since he runs at high speeds all the time. Depending on the game, he tends to go from a mix between a ‘fragile speedster’ (someone who’s very fast, but not very strong) and ‘glass cannon’ (someone who can ‘dish it out’, but can’t take a beating) to a ‘lightning bruiser’ (someone who’s fast and agile, but also strong and durable). In games like Unleashed HD and Generations HD, Sonic tends to be portrayed as A LOT stronger, more durable, more focused, and more agile than in other games. In the Unleashed opening, Sonic managed to plow through an entire platoon of Eggman’s Egg Fighter Robots by just running with his fist out.
TL;DR: Just watch this:

You know that you can clear original Seaside Hill ONLY with Sonic. Right?
every level is a time paradox
Let’s blast through with Sonic Speed!
im counting on you guys, hmph, AFIRMATIVE
are you guys ready!
are you guys ready! WARNING AMEDIATE DESTRUCTION IF DISTRACTED, hmph hope you guys can keep up
where up, you can count on me! ok here we go
It’s not nice to tease my fwiends!!
MARRY! no way!
Hey Elise just smile
sonic 06
I am dr eggman I have come here to unlock the secrets of the flames of disaster from you and the key to it’s secret THE CHAOS EMERALD now princess this way please……. My now that’s a pretty snazzy proformance there. Grr not that irritating hegehog again FIRE!
Now who dare to say its Green Hill Clone?
Stage is beatifull!
I never got why everyone said it was a Green Hill clone in the first place. Green Hill is somewhere between a jungle and a forest (the original stage is very minimalist so it’s hard to pinpoint exactly). Seaside Hill is on a beach filled with ruins. Similarities: checkered walls and grass. That’s about it.
Hint of Ocean Palace too perhaps?
I always took them to be two parts of the same level. Are they distinguishable? I’d need to go back and play it to check.
It looks like it’s going to mix stuff from Ocean Palace too. Man, it’s too bad it’s Seaside Hill and not Ocean Palace, I really like Ocean Palace’s theme a lot more…
Wow… All of you Sonic Heroe’s quoters… You people have done nothing but bad mouth and shoot down that game since the day it was revealed and now you think you can pretend to love it and reminisce over it like fake true fans…?
Peter G says “Hey!!! …Shaddup…”
Give back froggy and Chocola
ALL LIVING LIFEFORMS BOW TO YOUR NEW MASTER!
Hey tails you can use thunder shoot on the flying enemies
AHHHH just as i expected.
As always all bark and no bite!
thats sonic unleashed
You know what they say THE MORE THE MERRIER!!
Grrr not only do you foil my plans you also foil my comments!
Hmph Not bad toy but playtime over pal. … I don’t know why Im writing this
ALL LIFE FORM DATA SUCCESSFULY COPIED
Maybe that’s the Ghost of Shadow we saw earlier…..O.o
AAHHH! SONIC!!!!!
What the hell do u mean? I loved Sonic Heores more than Colors and Unleashed combinee, please do not make false accusations like that
Heroes is way up at the top of my list of favorite Sonic games next to Sonic, Sonic 2, Sonic 3&k & Colors. I even like it more than the Adventure series **raises flame shield**. Seaside hill, Grand Metropolis, Bullet Station, Hang Castle and Final Fortress are my favorite stages from heroes. So I’m one of the Heroes quoters who actually love the games. and its perfectly fine if you don’t believe me cuz I really don’t have to prove anything to you.
Yeah I liked Sonic Heroes as well. I was quouting only for fun.
Heroes has always had a place in my heart
Level UP!
GET THEM!!!
Let’s find that Eggman and show him the real power of teamwork!!!
don’t get so excited boys! Those were the EAAAASSYYY ones…
Seaside hills…what happens with the “crazy” stage like bingo highway…
Well, we have Sonic 3, and we have Carnival Night……Right SEGA?
Shadow: hope you can keep up with me
Watch out for the armored train!
We have mushrooms like these on angel island
Let’s blast through with Sonic speed!
Even more excited now, seaside hill looks absolutely beautiful, I just can’t wait!!! And I don’t need to worry about waiting extra long coz Amazon changed the release date to 4th!
of the collectors edition btw
thats because in the uk the game is being released on the 4th
I said I don’t need to worry
worthless consumer models!
COOL CITY..
..oh wait.
-team blast gauge fills up- Ready anytime!

“ULTIMATE LIFEFORM DATA…HAS BEEN COPIED.”
Without bees you dont get flowers, charmy do your thing!
Hey the floor is moving! Now I can keep up with Sonic!
All Sonic Generations info successfully copied >:)
No, that was when they released the demo in June…
I lol’d so hard
HM, sounds like an invitation to party
FYND DEH KUMPUDA REWM!
When I first heard that Seaside Hill was going to represent Heroes, I thought it was the worst possible choice, since I passed it off as a Green Hill clone when we didn’t have anything like Egg Fleet or Hang Castle.
But I must say, I think it’s one of my most anticipated stages now! It looks like there’s lots of room to explore and the graphics are incredible. I especially like how they took alot of features from Ocean Palace in order to make it more different to GHZ. Can’t wait to play it as Modern and Classic Sonic, which I’m confident will be much better than playing through it with the team gameplay of Heroes.
Hang Castle or Final Fortress would have been perfect, especially Final Fortress, most memorable for being created by the great troll ever <3 Metal Sonic. I was also hoping for Frog Forest but then I remembered how much the music made me feel like I was a hippie concert.
Looking at the classic Sonic screenshots, it’s strange how easily this 3D level can look like it was always designed for classic gameplay. I think the city levels look a bit too busy for that effect, but the simplicity of this makes it look like it’s right out of a Mega Drive game… only with slightly better graphics.
This screenshot —> http://www.sonicstadium.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Sonic-Generations-Screenshots-Seaside-Hill-5.jpg the background looks like something out of Crash Bandicoot xD
1. The amount of quotes here that actualy work together is quite amusing, especially from the first post lool.
2. The only thing that has bothered me in every stage so far and this one are those weird mat things on the walls where Modern can wall jump. He didn’t need them in Unleashed or Colors, so why does he need them now? It kinda ruins the look, especially here and in GHZ.
I think that you can wall jump only on these mat things and that kinda sucks.
ikr, I’m not too much of a complainer but I find one thing in a Sonic game that feels a little off xD I guess these walls will be it.
This is really looking more like Ocean Palace.
Who’s ready for Crises City? *canned* …Who’s ready for Speed Highway?
Wow, I didn’t think this morning I would start a new trend lol. Cause the Heroes quotes (Ahem) They just keep coming! You guys know what to do when the 06 lvl is revealed xD
*When Crisis City is announced with screenshots*
IT’S NO USE!
CRISIS CITY CAN’T LOOK THAT EPIC!
Not that irratating hedgehog again FIRE!!!!
*reserves Silvers It’s no use, TAKE THEM spam*
Looks like a rat has snuck into my base……..well a hedgehog to be more precise.
Nuooooo! The canopy!
Don’t get too excited boys! Those were the EAASYY ONNES!
My heads spinning.
All living things, KNEEL before your master!!!…….Long time no see Sonic, my loathsome copy! Were Sonic Heroes!
Thanks for copying my quote about the loathsome copy
I’m gonna be loling all day at the amount of quotes that have “damn” in them when Shadow The Hedgehog 2 is announced
Haha, like that will ever happen. I wouldn’t mind that honestly, or a Silver game, but the chances of either of them happening or very unlikely.
Oh my god!
Amy, cream and big beat eggman- Dont get too exited boys those were the EEAASSY ones!
We can use the TRIANGLE dive here!
Will Sega release a new demo? Because the demo of june is called #1
RED LAZER!
BWAHAHAHA BWAHAHAHA BLAST THEM ALL!
Man…… hes sure one stubborn scientist!
Im not ready to give up just yet!
Thats the spirit Tails!
if i break the rotors on the wings im sure that will slow it down!
sonic give it up, this time your MINE!
Amy knock it off! theres no time to play!
Everybody outta the way!
Are you playing with that girls heart again Sonic?
I didnt touch Chocola or froggy you mst have got me mixed up with someone else!
Come on Eggman? Wanna play?
be careful Sonic
Hmph ill take care of him myself!
We wont give up so easily Eggman!
SHIT, ROCK, INNER
Sonic look!
That ships loaded with Eggmans weapons
RADIO CANNONS, OPEN FIRE!!!
Theres only one way to go ready?
All right one down!
Now we gotta attack the body!
Ill destroy them all!
RETREAT!!!
Wow, SONIC2011….bunch of posts from you…..
Anywho, can’t wait! Looks, amazing!
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY THE MORE THE MERRIER
dude stop spamming
crap i didnt realize how many posts i put till now. sorry ill stop now……..
lol ive just been playing sonic heroes on my computer and i coudnt hold back the qouts
Well, we understand that you like Heroes, but please stop spamming. I think you’ve made 100+ comments here :/ The reason its annoying is because when I’m trying to read people’s opinions on this, which I can’t, because your spamming the whole place
Next time just keep it on the down low.
WHOA O.o LOL dude no worries we understand simple mistake sometimes it’s just hard not to let those quotes out but your right XD
Kinda super-duper-HAPPEEEE!! 8D
Just glancing at these new screenshots of a familiar level. O.O I love the new facelift this area received.
Lush colors, more crazy obstacles (for either hedgehog to tackle). I was a bit curious how the 2d perspective would change the level, nice to see its just right.
Sonic: Let’s blast through with Sonic speed!!!!!
Tails: Okay!!!!
Knuckles: Alright!!!!
JUST WATCH THIS!!
they have found the modern mix http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf7yimzWqA8&feature=watch_response it sounds great
Way too may Heroes quotes. anywho i think it will feel a little weird playing Seaside Hill with Modern Sonic all by himself. meh I might get used to it.
Seaside Hill looks awesome. Beginning of Act 2 will be most nostalgic for me…
Feels good.
All right. Our next adventure awaits us, so there’s no time to waste. Yeah. We’re Sonic Heroes!
Again the 2D looks better than the 3D =(
We’ll show that creep the REAL SUPER POWER OF TEAMWORK! (Sorry couldn’t resist).
