On the 11th Sega officially announced that the upcoming release of Sonic Generations will be released on PC as well as the usual suspects, unless I'm mistaken this will make the first proper sonic game to appear on the PC since Sonic Heroes in 2004. There is however some bad news, if the first link is correct the resolution won't go above 1080p, that doesn't necessarily mean it can't be made to go beyond that (ini hack etc) but until the game comes out on the 4th of November we won't know for sure.
