Astalavista at the SEGA Forums has the full translation:

  1. Let this be true. Let this be a Modern stage of a Modern level too!

  2. Awesome. Was waiting for news about that demo.

  3. I hope it grants access to both a modern and classic version of a level this time.

  4. If you don’t have xbox live to download the next demo, just go to 360democenter.com, and it should show up there. You can burn it to a DVD and play it in your xbox without modding. That’s what i’m planning on doing. i already did it once with the first demo ;)

  5. sonichedgehog says:

    If it is…City Escape for Modern Sonic? :D

  6. it does. im nick1996 and the demo they showed is what we are getting. the language will change depending on your country. your all welcome. @Shadzter thanks for the shout out

  7. my guess is either modern green hill or city escape because those two are playable all the time i highly doubt spagoia

  8. Rabid-Noodles says:

    Yay for Demos. I’ll be surprised if hackers manage to find anything if this does get released.

    • it wont. this demo is the final versions of both classic and modern green hill. it wont contain any content because the game is finished. so its strictly just the two levels

      • could have cutscenes.

        • I think Theres going to be barely any cutscenes just like colours because Sega are now scraping focus on story and more on gameplay which is great because the gameplay is getting better.

          • Jacktheinfinite101 says:

            There’s 30 cutscenes.

          • So like SK27 said, there’s barely going to be any cutscenes like Colors or Unleashed because SEGA are now scrapping focus on story and more on gameplay.

            Which sucks because I wanna play the stages to a better story. lol Not an amazing story, just something better than the crap we got in Unleashed. It’s so uncreative and bland now days.

            It’s not like the writers are the ones developing the stages. XD

  9. SuperLightning says:

    Hopefully there will be modern.

  10. thats the first time i’ve heard french sonics voice

  11. its both modern and classic.

  12. i hope it is going to modern & classic green hill zone for the demo

  13. Sweet!
    The Demo Is Coming Out On My Birthday!
    Thanks Sega!

  14. Being french, I can confirm what he said on stage in the video: There will be a new demo October 19th, plus a little detail: it’ll be an exclusive level. SEGA’s French Rep says it right after saying the Demo release date.

  15. Freking awsome! i cant wait for it!!! :D im going to record a speed run to both lvls! Sega thx you!!! :D D

  16. hopefully we don’t have to be a gold member to download it :)

  17. this wednesday psn modern level im there fuck the world for 1 hour

  18. GREEN HILL AND CITY ESCAPE

  19. Jacktheinfinite101 says:

    O_O Maybe I wasn’t wrong after all.

  20. NauseousPenguin says:

    The 17th? Why, that’s two days from now! I hope that’s true!

  21. Pingback: Rumor: New Sonic Generations Demo due October 19th | New Game Blog

  22. The 19th shall be a great day!

  23. finally i can stop doing classic sonic speed runs and start on modern sonic. i have the full demo but i dont have a jtag or rgh

  24. YAY.
    NOW JackTheInfinite can rape the very whole game by a Demo!!!

  25. well i hope it is true, ill be into the demo other than checking updates, i just relized there was a sonic unleashed demo so i downloaded and first time i sucked, but now im getting good at it, because its my first time playing that type of gameplay, i had the wii version ad it was way different, and pretty much its offcial that the demo is coming out, why would they lie about that?

    • Don’t get too used to it. Generations will run much, much, smoother. Possibly better framerates. :3

  26. AnthonyTheAwesome says:

    FINALLY!!!! i hope its both classic and modern sonic in one demo and please sega dont put a darn timer on it this time =/

  27. Is we will get Green Hill and City Escape demo because I wanted to hear Modern City Escape music!

  28. haloteen100 says:

    GUYS I TOLD OYU THERE WILL BE ANOTHER DEMO BECAUSE WHEN I had said it on june that on the psn i see demo#1 that means it could be another one! i hope its not a trial just like classic verison!

    • Jacktheinfinite101 says:

      I also showed what Demo #2 would be of and showed the released date for it at the time (Oct 10th) if you remember, but even I didn’t think they would go through with it after all the leaks.

      • That’s probably why they changed it. Perhaps they did something to prevent leaks this time?

        All I know is I hope no one rapes this demo like the last one. Not this close to the end please.

        And if it’s Modern Green Hill, that’d be just perfect.

        • Jacktheinfinite101 says:

          Perfect for you, I already have a demo with Modern Green Hill.

          I’ll be taking a look at what’s in the demo myself, assuming they put effort into it, unlike the first one where they just took the E3 build and modded it so you could only play Act 1 and only for 20 days, there shouldn’t be much to show.

          Also a 9 day delay isn’t needed to remove spoilers, I could me an almost spoiler free version of the first demo (I say almost because it’s impossible to hide the level list) within a day.

          • Actually they said the demo released was a pre-E3 build.

            I didn’t mean it’d TAKE them that long. Just that there’s the whole schedulling process and maybe it’s not the same demo. Maybe it’s a newly put together one. Like an alternate. idk.

            Still, if this demo isn’t a Green Hill demo then I’d still be worried. lol

  29. Fuck classic green hill, I want some Modern City Escape or Chemical plant >:)

  30. luigiman202 says:

    i really hope they do my idea and release a demo for the pc aswell so as said before, we can see how the hedgehog engine, works on our computers

  31. I hope that the demo pops up in Gamestop and Target cuz I recently found classic green hill playable at Target.

  32. AlexTheHedgehog says:

    What about a PC demo? There is a way to download demos on Steam. I hope they do it…

    @luigiman202 True, I wanna see how does it works.

  33. Jix Hedgehog says:

    Not long to go now..

    Anyone want to come over and do the Modern Sonic stages for me? Can’t be arsed.

  34. Dr. Robotnik says:

    You know what they say, the more the merrier!

  35. espioofchaotix says:

    That would be sweet! I bought X360 after the first demo was released so I didn’t get to try it. I was hoping for another demo!

  36. sac le bleu!

  37. MAN! GIVE US A PC DEMO!

  38. Demo, Demo, Demo :D
    can’t wait to play the modern Stage, and I’m gonna play it in 3D, so curious how the gameplay will be with 3D effects.

  39. CITYESCAPECITYESCAPECITYESCAPE!!!!!!!
    I don’t have a PS360 to play it on, but it would FINALLY mean we get a clean rip of the Modern Escape the City remix. SWEEEEEEEEEEEET!

  40. I find it ironic that the crowd was more hyped about Modern Sonic than they were about Classic.

    • It’s just because we were already impressed with Classic Sonic and how well it applied the Classic Gameplay but haven’t really gotten to test out how well Modern Sonic has improved yet.

      • We’ve seen runs like this on Modern Green hill countless of times, it’s probably that Modern Sonic’s gameplay is more fun to watch than Classic Sonic’s IMO

        • We’ve also seen how it looks in Unleashed and Colors tho.

          It’s not about watching it. It’s about playing it. Even those who liked Classic more were curious as to how Modern Sonic played compared to his past 2 installments.

          In Colors, when you ran past a certain mild speed you’d run stiffly straight forward just like in Unleashed making it hard to steer or turn. But in Colors, you couldn’t steer or turn AT ALL. Instead tilting left or right would make you quickstep.

          In Generations, the quickstep is lightly with the trigger button agains, allowing you to steer. I think you can actually turn now more fluiding, and while boosting you can at least steer. Could be wrong. But it looks like there’s a little bit more fluid control.

          • Trigger?
            Its still LB-RB/L1-R1 mate just like in unleashed
            its the triggers while turning to do Spindash Drift
            Colours you moved the thumbstick left and right when it tell you to.

  41. I hope we’ll be able to switch between French and English voiceovers, every character’s voice was awful in French Sonic X, except Eggman’s. I don’t want to hear them anymore (well, we in France haven’t had good dubs for years now, so…).

    Besides, the SEGA rep added there would be an exclusive stage for the demo.

    • Haha the only goog dubbing were the voices for the Disney animated movies . All the rest always sucked here in France , be it the dubbed series ( Friends , my god kill me ) , the games or mangas ( please , NEVER WATCH NARUTO IN FRENCH , YOU WILL WANT TO START WORLD WAR 3 !!! ) .
      French guys really don’t have that touch to make good voice acting … Even the Canadian dubbs of movies of better then the french ones .
      The dubbs from Sonic X were just LOLZ , so yes please , make an option to change the language !!!

  42. So do you only lose 80 rings when hit? How is that Classic?

  43. sonicwalter says:

    who thinks it should be the modern green hill zone or both city escape levels?

  44. omg.. Omochao better not be in this or i’ll kill someone

  45. PLEASE DO NOT BRI NG ROOFTOP RUN DEMO! I want to see it as a suprise in the full game! Give modern green hill or city escape as we already have seen so much already! Here’s hoping! :P

  46. I hope its a green hill demo :)

  47. My hopes are going to be destroyed, i got this feeling there aint gonna be no damn demo !

  48. MJay The Hedgehog says:

    wishlist for the demo
    5. sky sanctuary
    4. city escape
    3.speed highway
    2. chemical plant
    1. seaside hill

  49. well looks kike mister jacktheinfinete101 was riht about another demo

  50. Notifacation Guy says:

    Who knows? It will most likely be Rooftop Run due to the assets being in the first demo, but SEGA might just surprise us and give us the modern Green Hill, Cutscene and Classic Chemical Plant.

    *Wakes up from fanboy dream*

  51. I laughed at the parts where the crowd made noise whenever the player got hit.

  52. French sonic homing “HAUGH”

  53. They said “It will be an exclusive!”

    Maybe a level which is will not appear in the game like ice cap,or lost world or something ?

  54. Speed Highway Guys come one!

  55. australiangamers says:

    I want to play Crisis City!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  56. XchicksX526 says:

    Please god let it be a demo for spagonia, i am particularly excited for that level :D

    • Forget Spagonia everyones hyping because Spagonia data was in the last demo and i bet it can be configed to display city escape too, i hope its just GHZ modern and Classic thats all they need to make playable, thought i was lucky enough to play CE :D its just gonna be the same as the french demo on screen

  57. The game’s only three weeks away. I think I’d rather play it fresh, keep the surprise for then.

  58. Definitely excited. And awesome video. I loved all the excited cheers from the fans.

  59. HEY GUYS!!! I’LL JUST LEAVE THIS HERE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ63H8kNeFA (Warning, I can’t sing!!)

    Anyway, I love how the audience cheered MORE for Modern Sonic finishing the stage than for Classic Sonic XD But wow, I’d love to play any Sonic game on a screen like that with an audience like that x3

  60. HeatPhoenix says:

    Jacktheinfinite, the oracle of mobius.

  61. Today i pre-ordered Sonic Generations. ^^ LOL! AND IT MAKES ME HAPPY ^^^

    19 Sonic Gnerations demo?? Witch modern Sonic.. Ooohh jesh! ULTIMATE HEDGEHOG COMING BACK (…BUT NOT ONLY 1 ACTUALLY 3 EPIC HEDGEHOGS SHADOW, SONIC, SIVLER)

    Jeaahhh Sonic Generations is coming to my home… This makes worlds most pathetic live-form feel better!

    19TH DAY GONA BE MY BEST DAY!!
    And next moth It’s coming…

    CAN’T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!! I’M SO HYPE!! ^^

  62. it will be nice if a demo do shows up but its spagonia then it will be fun to play also green hill since i never played it

  63. Just so you guys know someone on youtube accidently filmed generations console @ comic-con and we saw REAL the title screen it is here :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_4S8z1nuZE it is @ the end of the video the last 10-20 secs

    • We’ve actually seen that before from other events. Thanks anyway, though :)

      • Ir didnt look like it said “press start” but for some reason that title screen did not look like an American version to me…it seemed more, you know, something else, i just can find the word for it :/

  64. Please have a hub world and boss battle stage with it please oh please!!

    • I know we got off on the wrong foot, but Hub world would be a nice touch in this demo, but i doubt it, most likely it’s the demo in the video since theres a few changes from that to what i played at GF
      1.After you get your rank, that music starts playing
      2.New audio, French Dub for example.
      3.some extra copyright tags on the titlescreen that weren’t there before.

      • And plus, don’t demos just have at least 1 level and not a lot more? I don’t think they would spoil us that much.

      • I hope the demo is City Escape or Seaside Hll, Shadow as a boss, and or Perfect Chaos as era boss. That would be the best demo Evar llol

        If it has a huh world, I will have epic fangasm.

        Even if it is Green Hill, I’m fine with it because I chose to avoid Modern Green Hill vids, so if it is MODERN Green Hill I’ll be

  65. I don’t want any more video or demos.
    Much spoiler for me. And stupid marketing.

  66. Well it seems my youtube account has been suspended. I had a family guy video up there for…weeks maybe and they FINALLY caught up and called it copyright infringement. GAW!

  67. SegaTidbits says:

    Hooray a new demo! I’ll have to wait 5 days extra though, because I don’t have Xbox live gold… :(

  68. Sonic le Hérisson says:

    We’re qualified for RWC Final, & we announce to the world the realease of the demo…
    What a great week-end for us =D lol

  69. eww omochao in the game. I didn’t mind him on the loading screen with the Zone Title Card, but in the actual levels?! God, I thought we (Sega) had learned our (their) lesson from that. they better put in a omochao gun in so i can target practice on that little prick as I zoom through the levels.

  70. Best…………….Birthday……….Present…….EVER! Can’t wait for the 19th…My B-day
