I'll go over it more when I get my hands on #244, but the short version is that whatever they were planning to do with this arc got hacked up and replaced at the eleventh hour, and it shows.
Yep. They took the extra time S&K afforded them to clean up some of the engine's bugs and include a few object layout changes for Sonic 3 as well. IIRC, they're all beneficial to the player.
It only worked because the engine and data formats are effectively identical between Sonic 3 and S&K, and close enough for Sonic 2 that a little on the fly patching could handle it. It's not a technique that's widely applicable, and the pass-through cart probably cost them more to produce as well.

Yea I was just looking over at Bumbleking and I guess it has to do with the Penders situation going on...alas. Hopefully things will smooth out while the crossover is going on.
Huh, still don't get it but it's okay. I'm fine with not knowing.
That's the song that gets stuck in my head most often :<
I don't remember the original track

Ban this troll already
you're going backwards now, you're suppose to find something worse than 06 to pick on colors, not better
but of course that's actually impossible unless we consider sonic 1 GBA to be worse

The PC port of Sonic Adventure 2 is weeeeird.
If I run it in windowed mode, it's like the whole game runs at 150% speed and is missing certain visual effects (the text overlays during the SA2B intro, for instance).
But that all goes away and the game runs fine if I boot in to it full screen.

so so so wrong!
I bought it on steam but not tried it yet, saving it to play on a windows tablet next year or something.

You can't, basically, ask what dubstep is and then refuse to listen to the answers.

Both of you should be ashamed.
I should finally get twitch account, huh. I'm too lazy.
I agree about the customization options and the Star system. I wish those were still in there because sometimes you just want to race for the leisure of it, rather than deal with rubberband AI. I guess they wanted to make the game a little challenging but it ultimately turns into a grind. Oh, and I agree about the drifting too. I don't like the drifting in this very much.
It's not perfect. I'm still having fun with it, but I'm getting a kick out of the presentation than anything else at the moment.

Holy shit guys. I just bought a new laptop and downloaded the Generations PC demo off Steam. This game is effing ridiculous at 60fps with max settings. Like, woah 0_0

Not sure about model number. It's an Asus 14" 8GB i5 with a GTX 660M video card. Framerate was unwavering, even when I stomped the bridge in Modern Green Hill which briefly killed the framerate on consoles.

I took the title in a way I probably wasn't meant to but I laughed.

Hey now, pegging is a natural part of a healthy relationship on Mobius. It's not our place to laugh at their culture.

Sonic 1 doesn't take place on Mobius :V
It...doesn't?

Here's the US manual for the game; good luck finding a mention of it.
Actually looked through all the US manuals shortly after getting Sonic Jam many years ago; the only mention of "Mobius" is in an ad on the back of Sonic 3's manual... for Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, which takes place in the clearly-established-as-Mobius Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog universe.
IIRC Sonic CD has mention of it in its manual, but it also thinks Amy Rose is Princess Sally.

Man Sonic-GAF, I have to say the surprise use of "Back in Time" from Sonic R really tripped me up when it started playing in the Sky Sanctuary level in Sonic Racing Transformed. That's my favorite Sonic R song and I guess it's memorable for others apparently.

Both Saturn Traveller's Tales games have amazing soundtracks.
But the lyrics are terrible. Enjoyable in a guilty-pleasure kinda way, but they're really bad otherwise.

I'll be honest, I haven't had much faith in this one. I know it's shallow, and I try not to bring it up much, but excessively relying on the old SoA continuity (insisting on using things like "Mobius" or "Robotnik", come Hell or high water) gets on my nerves. And while I have no evidence this film actually does that, using the voice actor for Sonic during that period, Jaleel White, doesn't particularly instill confidence that that isn't the direction this'll go in.
For a more concrete criticism, I don't think Jaleel White's Sonic voice is a good fit for the modern design of Sonic, which this... furry thing appears to be taking influence from.
It'll still be better than whatever Ken Penders was planning, though.

Hellooooo!
...back to discussing the aesthetic quality of that Sonic model because yikes. The blur at the top doesn't do it any favours either.

Yeah, that's true.Shadow Hog said:
The fur is what's the worst aspect for me(and that's pretty bad), but seems like it'd be fun to watch some kind of Sonic movie with some quality even if it's fan-made.
Thanks! when I feel like it I can put a bit of effort in my posts.
Yeah, it's fun to play, mainly for the racing, it's just more of a comparison to the first one.

I used to lurk in community a lot before I got approved, so there's at least SOME anecdotal evidence.
Having a sub list is so much handier than having a GAF thread bookmark folder.

I don't know how to feel about that model, but it will be interesting(by that I mean hilarious) to here Jaleel White voice Sonic again.
