Again, Stealth was part of that crew. He was Taxman's right hand man on all of those projects.

It's just a bit suspicious hiring one member of the crew, not the hole team. And again, SEGA can't use the Taxman custom engine for this one, so this guy need to use something else.
They are using Taxman's custom engine, RSDK(v5U) which is the Mania branch.

My understanding is that there was friction between the two, so Sega could only get one of them in the divorce. I think they chose wisely, to be honest.
It sounds like they do own the code for those games, and that is what's being used. It might not be updated to the "latest version" or anything but they have what has already been used in Sega releases, and someone who knows how to use it.

My question is always the same when they do these remasters of the classic Sonic games and they never mention it or just leave it out entirely.
Is it included?
Did they fix the slowdown in the Sonic 2 Multiplayer?
Is it online?
They fixed this issue in Sonic Jam on the Saturn and since then it's being an issue in later ports.
Sonic 2's multiplayer is one of my favorite 16 bit multiplayer experience if you play it with your own rules. i.e. When one person finishes the race on time, the other player cannot reverse and collect all the item boxes, points and coins etc.
Sonic Mania did a terrific job of reviving this game.

Sonic Origins locks modes, character animations and more behind DLC | VGC
Three DLC packs seem to be required for certain modes and features…

Ugh, so it's still anyone's guess on the Sonic 3 music.

I guess that's cool.
The thing that throws me off is them mentioning it being "remastered", how so? Resolution support I guess? It literally looks exactly the same to me, lmao.

Widescreen is a big addition that sets it apart from the million other Sonic Collections.
Worth having it for that alone.
Well done Sega.

At least on PC there will be mods to fix it if so.

1. TMNT Cowabunga Collection
2. Snowbros Special
3. Capcom Fighting Collection
4. Pocky & Rocky Reshrined
5. Pacman Museum +
6. Cotton Fantasy
We aren't even quite through half the year and that is quite the list for physical releases.

Its the later part of Sonic 3 AND KNUCKLES

Sonic 3 and Knuckles is Sonic 3 + S&K combined so its there. Hell, in the trailer theyre clearly playing on mushroom hill in one scene

I never had sonic 3, I didn't realize Sonic & Knuckles wasn't a full original title. Kinda blowing my mind right now.

Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles were originally meant to be one full game.

Sonic & Knuckles was basically a "standalone DLC" of its day. Like Spider-Man Miles Morales or something. It could be played standalone or you could combine the carts and they would play like one big supercut.
That said I do hope there is the option to play just Sonic 3 because it's better and I don't need a longer worse version.

Ask me about my Stream Deck
I thought it looked like the start of S&K but I never had/played Sonic 3 so I didn't know if it was from that title and just looked familiar.
I am just now learning that Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles were originally intended to be the same game.
Sonic 3 & Knuckles
Sonic 3 & Knuckles[note 1] is the combination of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic & Knuckles by connecting both game cartridges with "lock-on" technology. It has all of the content from said games, as well as exclusive features. Originally, Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles were intended to be released...

I feel that the price is a bit on the high side. Well, as long as Sega doesn't mess this up it is a win.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles addition is great and all but things like the Sonic 3 Complete mod And Sonic 3 A.I.R. have made the official versions obsolete.
For instance, falling from Flying Battery after breaking a door and landing on Ice Cap while snowboarding on said broken door (instead of a random board out of nowhere) is the coolest thing i saw in a Sonic game and it makes much more sense (that was also the original level order apparently so it's not a completely fan-made fantasy). I can't go back to the official version after that.
Also, do we know if they will keep the original music in Sonic 3 & Knuckles?

I'm assuming it's possible that Stealth and co. re-introduced the zone order to have this set up properly in this version. Not 100% sure on that, but it's definitely possible.

+ They're finally using the mobile versions of Sonic 1 and 2 which were properly done by Taxman and Stealth
+ Sonic 3 & Knuckles has now been finished and is based on the original concept code Taxman and Stealth teased years ago
+ New animated cutscenes from the same people who did the Mania ones to bridge the games
- The price, what the hell, three of these can be had on mobile for under £8
- The DLC, again, at least justify the price by including all that content right away
- Digital Only? Considering how long these games have been around I doubt there's much that requires patching after release, a physical for these should've been a must!
- Denuvo on PC, it's a damn collection of Classic Sonic games, why does it need Denuvo???

That will also never release so... They've been working on that for 15 years and haven't even finished the third stage.

Will probably get this when it's on sale, I own too many Sonic collections as it is but this one does look nice.
If they don't have the original Sonic 3 music then that's a tragedy, if they do but it's locked behind DLC that's even worse. Otherwise, looks great. Extremely overpriced though, this whole thing should be $20 tops imo.

That's what I'm waiting on. Sonic 3 and Knuckles has some of the best music from any video game. Also, you have to pay for the additional music from the older consoles.
We need a price list of all the tiers. There is no way this should cost more than £25.

Just saw the price list. £33 for the standard edition and £37 for the deluxe edition. Jesus! And you have to pay £3 for the classic music.
Some of these companies are scummy as hell.
