SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS released and Steam Deck Verified

By Liam Dawe - 25 October 2024 at 3:43 pm UTC

SEGA fans might want to check this one out. SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS has arrived and it has already been Steam Deck Verified by Valve. This means you should be good to go on desktop Linux too with the latest Proton 9.0-3, which is what Valve set for it on Steam Deck.

More about it: "Shadow the Hedgehog is back with Classic and Modern Sonic in SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS, an all-new collection featuring two unique experiences!

Play as Shadow in a brand-new story campaign featuring never-before-seen abilities that prove why he’s known as the Ultimate Life Form! Speed through iconic stages from Shadow’s history, discover hidden secrets in an expansive hub world, and unlock new powers to take on Black Doom and save the world.

SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS also includes a complete remaster of the highly acclaimed SONIC GENERATIONS, a time-traveling adventure featuring a greatest-hits collection of 3D and 2D Sonic stages, now with upgraded visuals and new bonus content."

The early SEGA fan inside me is screaming a little right now. I have some seriously fond memories of playing the original Sonic on the Mega Drive.

On Steam:

Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: Denuvo Anti-tamper

That is easy a "I'll pass" for me...

Really great that big joints such as Sega put their trust in Steam all the more. Valve stands with Linux gaming and Valve gets more pennies right.

Say, the neighborhoods emulation bully Nintendo (who loves to pick on especially the little harmless projects) would apparently never do Steam

I already left a report on Sonic x Shadow on ProtonDB. Only issue I've run into with the game is that it crashes every time I select 'Options' from the menu in Shadow Generations. I believe this is an issue specifically with my Intel Arc A770, as I do not have the same problem on my Steam Deck.

Huge Sonic fan here. Since I already own the original Sonic Generations (it works really well on Linux but getting the modloader to work was trial and error), I'm not getting this at launch. Also, Sega's past track record for remasters has been pretty dire: I felt that Origins was a disappointing cashgrab and the less that's said about Colours Ultimate the better. I assumed Shadow Generations was going to be the same deal but with Edgy the Edgelord stapled on to capitalise on the new movie, so I decided that I wouldn't be getting it.
...then it came out and was one of the most critically acclaimed Sonic releases in recent memory. And all the other Sonic fans seem to be enjoying it. Still have no intention of buying it at launch, but I'll definitely look into it if it goes on sale.

Also, there is a new Ys game coming out today and I liked the look of it more. Sorry Sonic, but I have my priorities.

Much too expensive with the included punish the buyer technology. With Denuvo the price should be a lot less than 1 €.
