Sonic Generations is coming to PC, according to two retailer listings for the game.

October 11, 2011 8:30 AM

Let's say you're a devotee of Sonic the Hedgehog, but you're also a strictly PC-only gamer. First, congratulations on being the rarest of all beasts. Go hug your Shadow the Hedgehog plushie with pride! Second, good news! You'll be able to play the next blue furry adventure on your personal computer gaming box, as Sonic Generations is coming to your platform of choice.

Destructoid notes that both Direct2Drive and Green Man Gaming have put up pre-order pages for the game. The two retailers agree on an MSRP of $29.99, and GMG gives purported specs for the game.

Minimum Requirements

Microsoft Windows 7/Vista/XP Intel Pentium Dual-Core T4200 (2x2.0GHz) or AMD equivalent 2GB RAM (Windows 7/XP)/3GB RAM (Windows Vista) NVIDIA GeForce 8800 / ATI Radeon HD 2900 11 GB free hard drive space

Recommended Requirements

Microsoft Windows 7 Intel Core i5 @ 2.66 GHz / AMD Phenom II X4 @ 3.0 GHz 3GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 / ATI Radeon HD 5850 11 GB free hard drive space

Update: Sega has confirmed the PC port, which will include Steamworks features, and will be available on the same day as its console counterparts.

Sonic Generations for PC digital includes Steamworks features such as Steam Cloud, which allows save files to be stored on Steam’s servers so you can resume your game progress from any PC. As with the other console platforms, Sonic Generations will be available to play in full stereoscopic 3D and will contain Achievements and online leaderboards. The PC version will also support resolutions up to 1080p.

  Wow, for $29.99 I bet this game will be three times as shitty as the past few Sonic games! I can't wait!

  I'm so mad, this is literally the reason my roommate and I split the purchase of a 360 a few months earlier. We talked ourselves into it with a few other games that were sort-of interesting, but it was mostly this.
  
  And now it's on PC :|
  I almost want to break the 360, get the replacement from GameStop (roomate sprung for the extended warranty, hah) and sell the replacement for as close to full-price as we can.

    Actually, Starlight Speedway is in it. But I don't know whether that's just the boss level or not.

      Yes. Also levels form Sonic Adventure 2 DC(street lvl).
      
      This will be the best Sonic ever made, people not sure or that writing it off(for good reasons from past Sonic games) will eat their words when once it drops.
      
      We will see.

        Yeah just like the other 300 times sega has made "the best sonic ever". People are tired of this shit.

        Yeah I'm quite looking forward to it, the City Escape beginning bit was great (like that scene in SA1 where you run from the Orca).
        Also, correcting myself, I meant Stardust Speedway, not Starlight. Shame it's only the one boss level though, at least it'll have the Bad Future song.
