Talk:Sonic Generations#Sonic Colors

Hello editors- I have noticed, in my quick glance-over, that the first section of the artice doesn't have any sources. This makes it really hard for this article to obtain GA status. I must ask, if possible, for the first section to be cited. This will make it much more likely to obtain GA status. So far, this article is great! It just needs one more change.

:Hi there. Thank you for trying to help, but please read WP:LEADCITE. Basically, there's not supposed to be sources in the intro paragraphs - they're supposed to only contain information that is covered later in the article, and as such, it would be redundant. If you browse through the article, the points you're talking about do indeed seem to be sourced later in the article. Sergecross73 msg me 18:22, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

Just wanted to ask a question: does anyone know why IPs keep removing Sonic Mania in the legacy section? (Like [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sonic_Generations&diff=806807407&oldid=806807188 this]?) They're not providing edit summaries so I don't know why they're removing it.

• I don't see a valid reason either. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 23:58, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

:*Me neither. The fanbase is weird in a number of different ways. I imagine this is one of their weird quirks or hangups. I don't see a valid reason for removal. Sergecross73 msg me 01:32, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

::*It works for Runners and Forces since those games differentiate between "classic" and "modern" Sonic as if they're 2 different characters, but that doesn't happen in Mania, Sonic is just Sonic, nothing to do with Generations. (Yes I know about the connection between the 2 games, but that applies to Forces more than it does to Mania). DekuHero (talk) 21:25, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

Please explain why did you remove "Like the original, it received positive reviews". You know reviews are similar, so what's wrong with the comparison. Why do you keep removing something that dosent need to be removed? Mr.Shadow514 (talk) 22:17, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

:Perhaps there a better or more efficient way of noting it? It's not always black and white, yes or no options. Sergecross73 msg me 22:22, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

::I would argue a remastered game getting similar reviews to the original isn't really significant enough for the lead, because it's what everyone expects. It would be more notable if it got much higher or much lower reviews. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 22:24, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

:::Cyberlink420, explain why it isn’t significant enough for the lead? It should. Mr.Shadow514 (talk) 22:32, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

::::I believe they're saying that remasters commonly get the same scores as the original because they're commonly the same thing with some minor upgrades. It might be better to refocus on the reception of Shadow Generations which is specifically new content. Sergecross73 msg me 00:48, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

:::::Shadow Generations has it's own article. Your not making any sense. And besides, it doesn't has to be the same scores. The reception can still be similar no matter what. Mr.Shadow514 (talk) 01:05, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

::::::Shadow is still discussed in the article, but that aside, how often do remasters get drastically different scores? Name some that did substantially better or worse. Sergecross73 msg me 02:53, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

::What are you talking about and what does that even mean? Mr.Shadow514 (talk) 22:27, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

I think we should add the critic scores for Sonic x Shadow Generations to the Sonic Generations page. However, I have seen two different ways of doing this. I saw the Super Mario 3D World page added the Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury critic scores to the reception section but Sonic Colors created a new section for Sonic Colors: Ultimate with the reception separate from the original. If my explanation doesn't make sense, you can compare the pages for yourself. My question is which of these should we do. I am not qualified to do this so I'm asking someone else to.

:The Mario example is probably more relevant, considering its more similar in structure and concept. Both feature a remaster and a separate completely new add-on. Sonic Colors Ultimate was largely just a basic remaster, and doesn't have a separate article either (nor should it.) Sergecross73 msg me 17:12, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
