Time Eater...done RIGHT [Sonic Generations] [Final boss spoilers]

[saturnurameshi]

I used the Stardust Speedway US remix in this fight, but Crush 40's Sonic Boom seems to make it EPIC!

[CrazyDutchman3004]

came here from scottishduck

[xstationo11]

Hey Sega, make an extra final boss for this game with this music, as DLC

[pokepikoo]

It works so well.

[annoyingsonic1]

sonic BOOM!!!!!!

[CrimsonVermillioneye]

The 3DS version gets a better boss battle in exchange they can only go super in the final battle.

[Cheddly]

*still hears Sonic 4 music* So close but no...

[Iamnotaspy1]

Oh, god this boss was bad. Easily the worst boss in the whole game.

[hijuliaa]

IT LOOKS LIEK A HOMING SHAWT!

[razormoviez]

The 3DS version of this boss is actually pretty fun, in my opinion. Except for those damn clocks, I hate those things...

Overall, I MAY actually prefer the 3DS version of this game to the Console.

[skellington15]

So you can change the music manually, too (meaning using music that's not provided through the unlocks)? So tell me: How come no one's done Solaris Phase 1 and 2 yet?

[HellfireMisc]

@skellington15 Well, you can mute it and add in your own tracks if that's what you mean.

And I dunno. Not sure if S:P2 would fit too well tbh.

[587DeathKing]

Open your heart>any modern Sonic track

[TheKaizzer18]

@587DeathKing Or Endless possibilities

[HypersonicHero]

Now let's just mute Sonic's wonderful friends.

[GameLoverMaki]

Sonic Boom FTW BUDDY!

[MsJC303]

Damn NTom, you sure know how to make a Sonic game look good XD

[mamodojoao93]

it's weird how SEGA hit the center of the target the WHOLE game, but screwed with the final boss music. I mean, musicaly the game is PERFECT. One day will ask they why didnt they add this Sonic Boom remix. Its means to be this boss music like u said.

[NetMoverSitan]

Eggman theme (at least from Sonic Unleashed onwards) with this boss - doesn't work.

Sonic Boom (Crush 40 cover) with this boss - fits perfectly

[sonicpower23]

Don't you think that TOOT TOOT SONIC WARRIOR would've fit more?

[sssa206]

Crush 40 Sonic Boom. Y U NO IN GENERATIONS.

[MegaMario1500]

This fits better than the actual one IMO

Incredible how this fits great! :D

[Haruchan2010]

I liked the boss. :<

[Zantillia]

Yeah... really disappointed by that. This game was so good! Great melding of 3D/2D sections that really perfected Sonic's style, that awkward mesh of platforming and speed finally found a balance and I'm ecstatic for more Sonic if they keep this up! But... this boss. Why? It felt lazy, kind of like an afterthought. Like they spent so much time on the levels suddenly "Oh shit! How do we end this?!"

"Sonic boom, Sonic boom, Sonic booooom, spinning through a world in motion!"

[ViewtifulRekk]

Oh wow, they really couldn't have made it more obvious that you're never supposed to actually hit the boss with Classic Sonic.

[SoundNinjaSA2]

Wait, did you replace a song file or are you just playing it over the muted audio? Because it aligns really, REALLY well if it's just being played from a music player or something. It's crazy how perfect that song works.

[HellfireMisc]

@SoundNinjaSA2 Muted the audio via the options, spliced in the mp3. And yeah, it's crazy how well it fits, from the boss's titlecard to all of its attacks. It's like this actually WAS meant to be the final boss theme, but they removed it at the last second.

[gamethehedgehog]

@HellfireMisc the 360 and ps3 versions features a custom soundtrack option: if you have a mp3 copied in the console's memory, you can play it in the game

360 can do it in all of his games (if i remember correctly), though in ps3 only works in some games, good thing is that sonic generations IS one of thoses :D (i already do it in my ps3, i fought egg dragoon with the egg emperor music from my music player)

[GallantChaddymon]

@HellfireMisc Actually, i think it was the case and Crush40 hadn't finished recording .=P

[KitsuCheen]

Woah the song made it more epic :D!

i have a question: where on earth did you get the song in good quality >w<?

[HellfireMisc]

@KitsuCheen It's been ripped from the latest CD.

Search up "Sonic CD 20th Anniversary Edition - Sonic Boom (Crush 40 vs Cash Cash)" if you want it.

[supersonicdrawer]

that music couldnt finish in better timing!

[wwwyousuckdotcom]

I was just on my way to listen to Crush 40's Sonic Boom for the 6th time and I saw this in my subscription box lol. And this game is great but the final boss was meh.

[TheWorstComputerEver]

I was actually expecting the Crush 40 version of Sonic Boom to be the official boss music for this fight, not sure why. I really like the Time Eater's design, I just wish the fight played better. If the control was less stiff I think it would've benefited greatly.

[MatthewAllMighty]

Time Eater's theme works fine as, say his main theme, but as a final boss theme it's underwhelming as fuck. There's nothing grand about it, no sense of drama, or real representation of the final battle. This actually suits it more than I initially thought it would. When was the song recorded, anyway? 'Makes me wonder why they didn't actually use it.

The actual boss itself still sucks, though.

[CrestTheHedgehog1]

The title for the boss and the music just synced perfectly.

[TheTrueChaosUnifier]

The music was the disappointing part for me, as a boss theme it's pretty good, but for the final boss its too dull. The gameplay was all right once I got the hang of it, but yeah not the best final boss ever.

[KnightHog18]

IT LOOKS LIKE A HOMING SHOT!

[ZXReploidHunter]

I like using "Live and Learn", "What I'm made of", and "His World".

[GreatNegus]

This boss was a massive letdown to me.

Pretty much everything you said I agree with. Makes me mad because the rest of the game was so good, and then this happens.

[XGamerRichyReturns]

And I believe this confirms my suspicion. If Sonic Team had just put a decent track on this boss it makes it infinitely better. Live and Learn and His World work from what I've seen, this works too. Good lord Sonic Team, it's such a simple thing. :)

[goodbye18000]

That was so fitting I think I just came.

[JohnzaloogIII]

I didn't even know you could hurt him in 2D, and I'm one of those sad saps who actually got the "Can't touch this" achievement XD

[ChaosZero102]

@JohnzaloogIII What was that achievement?

[Tehsnakerer]

Holy motherfuck, you're right.

[goemonbeatsnaruto]

i know this off topic but does any one think that crush 40 should do a remix version of he can any thing aka toot toot sonic warrior.

[DarkSpineScott]

Was Sonic Boom Crush 40's version unlockable in the game? I know the original Sonic Boom was.

[HellfireMisc]

@DarkSpineScott No.

[SolarisParadox]

@DarkSpineScott

Naw, this is the console's built-in Custom Soundtrack feature. I'm pretty sure the PS3 version can do it, too, since SEGA is one of the few companies that makes a point to program in Custom Soundtrack compatibility for their PS3 games.

[hikaruchan16]

Wow...this boring anti-climactic boss just became totally epic! Just with a single soundtrack swap!

Using the proper music for the moment? I never would have guessed. [/sarcasm] X#D lol!  This was AMAZING~

[Gonohamaruk]

wait does this boss have homing shots?

[MilanTheVillain01]

"It looks like a homing shot!"

"Be careful, Sonic!!"

"It'll take more than that,,, to defeat us!!!"

Well in Tom's opinion, "It's time for a change of pace!!!!"

[Mario9919]

How on earth are Sonic's friends are watching this anyway?

[ZeroMagamiMZ04]

Oddly Solaris doesn't seem that bad of a boss now that I watch this (it looks even clunky to me) though I think Helldragon has the right idea though that was done in MGS4 still, I think it would have worked better.

The song I would have picked would have been a mixture of Green Hill mixed with Super Sonic when using Classic but then it switches over to a mix of Live and Learn mixed with What I am Made of for Modern Sonic. Now that would be cool.

[diddykongrulz]

I personally don't have a problem with the final boss theme. Sure, it could have been more epic, but it's not bad by any means. I think what would work best here is an orchestrated version of "Fastest Thing Alive."

[TheHelldragon]

Man, here's what would've made this final boss better - the Time Eater uses attacks from every major final boss of major Sonic games. And the music changes appropriately. Heat-seeking missiles? DOOMSDAY ZONE MOTHERFUCKER. Metal Madness attack shit? What I'm Made Of bitches!  A multi-phase boss that celebrates each game individually...that would've been an awesome final boss for this game.

[KingMickeyROLZ]

I love this game but fricken hate this boss, and is it me, or is that beam you can shoot do absolutely nothing?

[HellfireMisc]

@KingMickeyROLZ Classic Sonic breaks obstacles...but that's about it.

[Warbot40]

Not one of the worst sonic final bosses ever. THE worst Final Boss EVER!

[Turner459O]

You would be surprised how AMAZING Endless Possibilities goes with this boss

[crazy4guitar3000]

Agreed, one of the worst final bosses, but nothing will ever be as bad as Sonic CD's...at least here just a music change can redeem it....

[GalladeRoxas1]

Where did you get this high quality version of the Sonic Boom cover?

[HellfireMisc]

@GalladeRoxas1 It's been ripped from the latest CD, dude. Check my twitter feed for the link.

[SonicSilverSS]

Gah....this boss. I'm never going to get that last dumb achievment...-.- Although, the 3DS version of this fight, is actually quite fun, compared to this one.

[KatamariParadox]

Why do they keep having such repetitive lines? Hell, I think this boss is the worst offender of that in Sonic history.

[glquam07]

all i got to say is: YES.

[Klaymator14]

that was fantastic

[draw0rtogether]

I changed it to what I'm made of and it felt better
