Sonic Generations/Beta elements

This article pertains to the Beta elements of Sonic Generations.

Scrapped versions
Originally and according a leaked correspondence, the games was mostly meant to be made as part of deal between Sega of America and Sony corporation of America for their consoles, and by that day there were no additional ports for Xbox 360 or PC. Later sources however, came from Madrid’s Gamefest 2010, that it was to be a combination of 2D and 3D gameplay, and would be developed for Nintendo Wii, PSP, PS3 and DS. And when asked whether or not it was planned to come to Xbox 360, the employee indicated that talks were still ongoing.

Eventually, the game was officially announced as Sonic Generations on April 18, 2011 for Xbox 360 and PS3. It is still uncertain how far the Wii, PSP and DS versions progressed, but some sources suggest that they were cancelled earlier in development.

Third Sonic
In an interview with Ryan Drummond, he states that Sega gave him another chance to re-audition a third Sonic version of the dreamcast era to role during the development of Sonic Generations, but he rejected. Meaning that a third Sonic may have been in mind, but because of this it got scrapped.

Classic Sonic's voice
According to Aaron Webber, Sega had considered Jaleel White to voice Classic Sonic. But because they could not reach him and many who insist that Classic Sonic should remain mute, the idea was removed from mind.
