Long time no see. I promise i've been working. it's just been a slow process. Busy weeks, busy job, lots of burnout. Y'know, the usual stuff. I started out this project with the intention of focusing mostly on the Shadow side of the game, and only doing a quick mention of the Sonic portion's changes. But i was surprised to see more changes in the game than i had anticipated. Plus as usual i end up writing way more than i need to. but that's okay, i think it's more fun that way. Plus we get to hang out together for 2 videos instead of one, what could be better? The shadow video will be my next 'sonic' vid, and it will be what i originally planned it to be before i got swept up by the intrigue of the 2 Sonic's. I'll probably take a short break though to squeeze out a little Nikki video. So that should be fun.
Sorry about the inconsistent voice over in this one. It was recorded in 2 parts, multiple weeks apart. cold season. can you tell which half of the video i was recovering from being sick on?
For the cutscene part of this video, i wanted so badly to take out the background music so it would be less distracting. Here's a little bonus change between the 2 versions. The PS5 Generations let's you turn the BGM off in settings, and that will also mute that music in the cutscenes. Pretty cool. The PS3 version on the other hand also has the option to turn down BGM in the game. The difference though is that it does not affect the cutscenes whatsoever. I ran some of the PS3 audio through one of those vocal splitters that are meant to remove either vocals or music from a piece of audio, and though the process is impressive, it doesn't leave you with a perfect result. And i figured it wouldn't really be right to compare a voice over that has been tampered with to one that is perfectly clean from the source.
I have (what i feel to be) a good title in mind for the Shadow video. In fact, i thought of it long before the game came out when i first seen that reveal trailer. And i'm happy to say the (yet to be revealed) title's statement still holds true after playing it. This video on the other hand... When i made the decision to split between Sonic and Shadow, i had to come up with a title for the Sonic portion. "Sonic Generations: A Blast From the Past, Now in the Future!" was one i had in mind. or a revised "Sonic Generations: A Blast From the Past... Again!". They're not really the most click-friendly titles though. It kinda sucks that even the naming of a video has to be done in some special way to essentially game the system to get a few views. (and usually it is just a few.) It's not that i love those titles or anything, but it has a tiny bit more identity than "What's Different in Sonic Generations?" I'm not even sure i like that one, but it is quick and to the point, asks a question which, idk, maybe some Youtube scholar will tell you incentivizes clicks, and at the very least it puts it kinda in a similar light to my Origins videos.
Okay, the video's just about done exporting now, so i'll wrap up the rambling. Thanks for watching, yo. Hopefully i'll see you in the next one.
