SEGA have announced they’re releasing a 2nd Sonic Generations demo on XBLA and PSN on October 19th. It appears that the only difference between the 1st demo that went live in June is that you can now play as Modern Sonic. See the full press release below:
LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (October 17, 2011) – SEGA® Europe Ltd. & SEGA® America, Inc., today confirmed that a second demo is being released prior to the launch of the highly anticipated Sonic Generations™ game for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.
The first demo, released on June 23rd 2011 – the anniversary of Sonic’s 20th year – allowed fans to play as Classic Sonic only. Now the second demo means fans can finally play as Modern Sonic – as well as Classic Sonic again – in the stunning environments of the iconic Green Hill level from Sonic Generations™. Demo #2 for the game will be available via XBLA and PSN on 19th October for Europe.
Gamers will be able to get their hands on the full game on the 4th November when Sonic Generations™ finally hits stores for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and PC digital download. Sonic Generations™ PC boxed product and the Nintendo 3DS™ system will be released later in November 2011.

preGame have an exclusive interview and playthrough with none other than SEGA of America’s Aaron Webber. Check out the below videos to see some great direct-feed footage of various stages in Sonic Generations (SPOILERS AHOY):
The Japanese cult clothing store Cospa is releasing 2 Sonic shirts as a part of the 20th anniversary celebrations. Cospa has released Sonic shirts in the past and they’re always stunning.
That Sonic Generations Green Hill shirt is rather tasty! Damn you Cospa! Release your shirts in the West! Seriously though, Cospa is an incredible store for cult clothing. If you ever find yourself in Shibuya, Tokyo then you should pay a visit!
Jun Senoue, famed composer of many a Sonic game, has confirmed he will be performing on the SEGA stage of the Tokyo Game Show on Sunday September 18th. Jun will be performing alone and is planning an interesting playlist.
“I need to think about the songs to play there and I know it will be a great opportunity to play some from Generations.”
In other news, Jun has also confirmed that the 2 Sonic Generations CDs we discovered artwork for are in fact Japanese pre-order items for anyone pre-ordering either the PS3/360 or 3DS versions.
“They are sort of giveaway CDs. I will work on the soundtrack CD of Sonic Generations later.”
That last comment seems to indicate that Jun is arranging a proper Generations soundtrack CD for a later release. More on this as we get it!
Fansite The Sonic Scene has uncovered some interesting Sonic Generations images.
