I feel like it's probably just me being crazy but I feel like the Saturn version has the best color depth
Better special stages, too.

Not necessarily a bad thing tbh
In mean in the way of " who is this for " no one knew and everything just flew into eachother, and the results wasn't good. also the source material thing sonic wise... eh i'll get into that later.
Haha no problem, it's such a beautiful song.

Personally the title screen theme's the one that makes me feel weirdly nostalgic more than the Museum theme, but *shrug*
Special Stages are easily Saturn > PC >>>>>>>>>>>> Genesis, though. Like, seriously, the Genesis stages are barebones. Pretty parallax effects can only get you so far.
I think the Saturn and PC are on par, although the PC version requires 256-color mode IIRC, so the Saturn version might be slightly higher; honestly don't know. Saturn version at least has those fog effects that the PC version lacks for whatever reason.

I uploaded Part 1 of my SADX GC playthrough, I'm planning on doing a version with commentary and a version without, right now only the non-comm one is up:

Hope you like how the recording came out, 60fps goodness and everything!
Being part of the Nintendothon really gave me the confidence to start doing this, been wanting to do this for YEARS!

The last book didn't help, it may have in the sense I am know laughing and critical rather than just disappointed and critical, but i'm still disappointed. Thinly veiled I think is the right phrase

Yeah the finale of the crossover was...underwhelming, the entire thing could've been MUCH MUCH better, but I at least enjoyed the character interactions
I didn't actually
Why the hell , during a video game crossover did I want to see the Freedom Fighters this league of Venus de milo's interact with folk, instead of the game characters, who were essentially mostly removed before it even got started, you barely even get knuckles. And X and Zero, like they don't even really do much of anything, not to mentioned all the other characters fearured that don't really do anything
I will stop myself here, I'm going to write something longer and more articulate. My point is who was this for?

Far less. I prefer SA1 (Even if it really isn't a good game), but 2 is undeniably more polished.
Surprised the game was even playable at that high of a framerate.
So excited for the future.
gotta go fast?

I know Schala frowns on posting "awesome" fan art in here, but I'll make an exception from that in the case of Penders and his little Xeno-Su Chronicles X escapades:
I'm not even sure what's going on here, but apparently we're watching Space Anthony Mackie (seriously look at this shit) flying around wherever the hell this series takes place all Super Mario Galaxy-like.

Given that the armor looks like he took another one of those godawful 3D models he's been showing off, posed it, and applied his own godawful shading on top, I'm going to assume that is the case as part of his continued efforts to avoid actually drawing anything as much as possible.

I don't think there's an official date right now. I guess late october/mid november.
I'm really hopeful for that one. I'm playing Shattered Crystal right now and, aside from the worst lines ever heard in a videogame, it's actually a good game. If they tweak the backtracking to make it more bearable, F&I could easily become the best handheld Sonic game.

Worse than the lines in Sonic Adventure 02 and Heroes?

Shattered Crystal is not a good game even in the slightest.
It's a super generic 2D platformer that has basically nothing really tying it to the franchise even remotely outside of a handful of "race" levels where you spend 85% of your time watching cutscenes of Sonic racing around loops.
It suffers from the same problems Sonic Heroes did insofar as there's no reason ever to switch off of playing as Sonic until the game explicitly forces you to do so, usually just so you can hit a switch that's just slightly out of reach. Every single playable character is nearly identical save for a single special ability, and most of those special abilities aren't really useful outside of the exact explicit context they were created for. (Save for Sonic, who basically gets a double jump/air-dash that is more universally helpful)
It also twists your arm and demands you collect almost every single macguffin in the game before you can finish it. I think in order to unlock the final showdown with Lyric, you are literally, actually, seriously like 4 emblems/medals away from 100% completion.
If that wasn't bad enough, levels are intentionally set up to discourage backtracking. In order to collect enough stuff to get your medals, you usually have to play each level multiple times. All too frequently they will split in to an upper path and a lower path, and if you pick one, you have to replay the level in order to see the other.
All of the environments are uninspired and forgettable, the robot designs are uninspired and forgettable, and combat is brainless.
The best thing you can say about it is that it is not unplayable. It's not buggy, it's not broken... it's just soul-crushingly bland, like a ten year old licensed game based on the latest kids movie/tv show/whatever. You could probably do worse, but you should do way, way, way better.

Oh good I'm not the only person who had to play through that trash.
You're going to be waiting for a very long time.

So with the recent rumor of more SEGA Classics heading to the 3DS eShop, and that S3&K is not one of those games, anyone wondering if it's having to do with the music?
I waited patiently for Yakuza 5 I can wait for this!

At the very least Sonic 1 and 2 Taxman on PSN, XBL and Steam.
It's really the cheapest and most cost efficient option SEGA has atm.
So Uh, i'm problably late or something but there is this character poll or something ruby eclipse is starting. Its set up super weird, and apparently folks are cheating and whatever
*absorbs all this visual info*
One image, one image made my opinion of Worlds Unite, better. Its still bad , but... wow... that

Thinking up my top 10 games or whatever for each system is too tiresome for my brain I've played so many games ove rthe years that listing the really good ones is difficult @_@
Anyways, the latest StH issue featured a nice Eggman story where he saves Metal Sonic; he braves the horrors and monsters of space IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE!

So Waku Waku Sonic Patrol Car, an arcade game for kids from 1991, is finally emulated in MAME: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSLErHw2mbE
