Nerdy fanservice aside it was pretty annoying how slow the characters were to understand and accept time travel in the original version, as if they never dealed with time travel before when there's multiple games of them time traveling, and also the series in general constantly dealing with crazy shit like that. And all for the sake of having some totally self aware and hilarious "so let me get this straight... I'm somewhere that's not what I would call Earth...... I'm seeing FREAKING dragons, and... oh yeah I'm talking to a cuff!" Forspoken aah dialogue. Like cmon, we get it's a time travel thing don't dwell on characters processing their situation so long when there's no reason to, we get it's a fantastical situation you don't gotta shove it down the audience's throat. Also the callbacks help reinforce the idea that they're traveling to the past while in the original version they don't even seem to recognize the past locations.

[@sonicandmylittleponyfan2002]

Honestly I don’t mind that, I know a lot of Amy Rose fans don’t seemed to like that, but for me unfortunately I don’t really care, cause growing up as a kid I was never a fan of Amy always chasing after Sonic, complaining about him missing their dates when it’s obvious that Sonic isn’t interested in dating, while Amy was written fine in the adventure games, but since then Amy was basically written to be just a simp towards Sonic, so of course Sega and Sonic Team had to make Amy a more mature and likeable character, sure she still has her usual crush on Sonic, but at least she's not as over obsessed to Sonic as she was in the early games, I get that people liked Amy fine the way she was, but sadly not everyone including myself were fans of Amy being an obsessive fan girl, cause not only do some fans find her annoying, but some fans even find her a bit unlikeable, so of course Sega had to change her character for the better.

One of the things about Ian Flynn's writing that bugs me is that he tries to make it so that Amy has as little romantic interest in Sonic as possible, which kind of removes the whole point of her being a fangirl with a massive crush on Sonic. And no, I'm not complaining that they made her "woke." I'm fine with her being capable of defending herself and being her own person. That's what her whole campaign in SA1 was about. But a big part of her character that makes her stick out is the fact that she's constantly trying to show some affection for Sonic, even if it gets on his nerves.

Ima be honest, I don't like it that he remembers the names of these zones. By this point in the timeline, he's only visited these places once in his entire life. I find it kinda unrealistic that he remembers the name of Green Hill when, at this point, it's only one of several green biomes he has visited on his adventures. Unlike today where he's been to green hill at least 50 thousand times.

[@Mike14264]

@@skrappothemonster1436 I mean, I get that, but all that does is have a couple dozen thousand people shouting "BUT YOU'VE BEEN THERE!" at their screens. Besides, Sonic and some of his pals technically live around Green Hill more or less, or at least that's how it goes these days, I think? Maybe it made more sense back then than what we realized, but nowadays, probably not that much, if anything him not remembering Green Hill of all places would be even more alienating.

[@TheDen-ec9xe]

"Glow up". This is just some desperate touches to "de-Pontaffize" Generations by adding references and changing the cringe jokes to niceties. But it's still a pathetic nothing burger.

[@lx5323]

My overall opinion on it is this: Starting off with the positives, the new dialogue is miles better than the original. Do I miss some of the lines from the original? Yes. Is that entirely because of nostalgia for when Generations first came out? Also yes. The dialogue itself feels a lot better than before. I remember really disliking the fact that Sonic and Tails couldn’t tell the locations like Green Hill or Chemical Plant in the original, so changing their questions from “what is this place” to “why is this location here” was a massive bump in quality for the dialogue. I’m also a fan of just showing that it was classic Eggman in the Death Egg Robot, because that was fooling nobody in the original. Both modern and classic Tails both seemed smarter due to the dialogue change, which I can always appreciate. And Sonic actually talking to his freed friends? Thank goodness, it was so awkward before. My biggest complaint is how the animation just doesn’t line up with the new dialogue. I feel SEGA was trying to be cheap so they put in the minimum amount of change into the cutscenes so they didn’t have to remake them, and yeah, the inaccurate lip-syncing shows. Also, because certain scenes had no dialogue before and do now (after freeing a friend) there exists a lot of awkward dialogue that either feels rushed or needless. My biggest example is after Sonic frees Vector, I feel like Sonic should say something more, or take what Vector says into account, but instead he just goes “Roger that.” Like, bruh? So overall, great dialogue change, I really wish certain scenes were changed along with it and it was lip-synced properly

[@paigeturner7513]

@hevnet I have a hypothesis. Theorectically, what if the fact that reason that the reasons why scenes and dialouge in-game was changed because it has something to do with shadow? Not just figuratively but literally speaking?😯 Shadow does take part in generations. In addition, since it has something to do with going back in time, could've been that Shadow going back in time have somehow altered history? That's why the scenes could be different. (Disclaimer: Yes I know the general reasons for the changing of the scenes because of different writers for the game,) yet as an in game theory about it relating back to shadow, what do you think?

To be fair, the push made Knuckles look very dumb and weak, which I think a lot of people were complaining about since Knuckles is one of the strongest characters in terms of raw strength (plus dumb Knuckles seemed to be getting overused or something idk).

I love how they just plopped the hotdog in his hand, they didn’t even try to change the hand positioning. It just looks like the hotdog is permanently fused to his hand😂😂😂 Note to self: don’t time travel while holding an item, or it might fuse to your hand forever 😂😂😂

[@stormcutter59]

​@SSF124Animates Which is why I think the change was made. I can respect that, yet I think the gag was better. It's a funny thing Amy would do in past games. It would have worked in a better context tho, but since it's a moment that is plopped in the middle of an era for Knuckles which has many other moments that are meant to humiliate him, it came off as insulting for some

Isn’t anyone at least a bit upset about Blaze? Her entire deal in Rush was about her not wanting to rely on others, her arc was about opening up. Why the hell did Ian do all of these unnecessary changes and not change the dialogue that mattered?

[@tailsfan10]

You can open up to people and still would rather want to be independent. Her whole ideal was learning to accept others helping her when she needs it more than she believes

[@MyRoomIsAMess]

@@tailsfan10 Sure, but she says “as much as I dislike relying on others”. This is not about her being independent here, it’s about her disliking to rely on others, which are different. For instance, in Sonic Rush until you fight Sonic, Blaze dislikes relying on others. She opens up a little to Cream, but she becomes her unfriendly self when Sonic shows up. Then Sonic teaches her that relying is good since you can’t do everything alone. But when Cream gets kidnapped, Blaze goes alone because Cream’s now her friend and she owes her. This is her being independent, not disliking to rely on others. Sonic Generations gets rid of the fact that she went through the arc, and Sonic Rush as a whole, which goes against the main theme and thus, the character. That’s bad and shouldn’t be tolerated.

[@tailsfan10]

@@MyRoomIsAMess What she experienced in Sonic Rush doesn't necessarily mean she likes to depend on others all of the time. The point is that she's no longer refusing to be assisted or saved. It's the same with Knuckles and they share *a lot* of character principles. At least she's still grateful that Sonic saved her in White Space

[@MyRoomIsAMess]

@@tailsfan10 Yes, but not liking to depend on others ALL the time and depend on others AT ALL is different. No rational one likes being dependent on everyone, but her deal was that she carried the world on her shoulders and didn’t like ANY HELP. Despite thee fact that being independent is good, you need help from your nearest sometimes too. And she learned to understand that, despite not being dependent on everyone or everything or a freeloader. What she says in Generations implies that she doesn’t like any single bit of help, instead of not liking to be dependent, as you mean. Which undoes her arc.

[@tailsfan10]

@@MyRoomIsAMess Maybe we probably just see it differently. All in all, it's not huge deal because Blaze still shows gratitude for Sonic's help in that moment, as much as she said she didn't like relying on others' help

That said, I don't know if I like some of the animation changes, like Amy trying to hug Sonic or her knocking Knuckles out in the final cutscene. I kind of wish they left them unchanged. Overall though, I do like what Ian did here and the voice acting is on par with the original release (specially Roger, he did a great job replicating his voice again).
