Thanks friend I didn't actually have the Steam port of SA2 and I've actually been hankering for a replay of the game lately. My heartfelt thanks.  I didn't take the Generations code so it's still up for someone else.

CD is the remake, but Sonic 2 is the original; it has Steam Workshop mods as a result though. Can't speak for the original, but Racing Transformed is excellent.

All Stars Racing 1 is pretty much Mario Kart Wii but with SEGA characters. It's pretty good!

Sonic 1-3K are all mega drive hub, which has the downside of not being retro engine but the upside of mods. Sonic 1's no hud mod is great, and obviously everyone should played Sonic 3 Complete.

Who actually cares what classic sonic's physics are like in Forces As long as it controls fine he can walk up or down whatever walls he wants to, we got Mania for the Accurate Classic Experience

I dunno the classic physics weren't good but most of the levels were still fine enough. Not horrifying like four, certainly not amazing like retro engine, but playable above mediocre. Hey on that note, for ceiling running in S3K, did you need to reverse directions or is that new to retro engine? I don't remember that getting me so much in earlier games.

The 2d levels of sonic forces should just boot up a copy of sonic mania and/or sonic 3k. Perfect sonic game achieved

The physics don't have to be 1:1 with the classics to be fun to play. Sonic 4's physics weren't just different, they were actively unfun.

YoshiOfYellow posted:You seem incredibly determined to hate a game you haven't played yet. Well he could  Kinda.There's Sonic Forces for your phone already out. It's a online racing game in the style of the endless runner games (and designed by the same people who made Sonic Dash), where you race 3 other people on short tracks to unlock more tracks, characters and whatnot. It's okay, but God I hope that the music isn't indicative of any sort of song in the real Forces, cause it's mind-numbingly grating. It's like physical pain to listen to.

My biggest beef with forces is that it somehow manages to look worse than generations, and that came out six years ago. It just looks like a total lack of effort, even moreso when you compare it to the obvious love and attention that went into Mania.

You have to hold the opposite of the direction you want to go in. For example, there's a section in Mushroom Hill zone where you can run on the ceiling after going through a half-loop. Run left into the half loop, and keep holding left. You'll be running right while upside down.

If you go poking your fingers in poo poo to find 2.5 gems, you're still gonna get poo poo on your hands.

If you expect the worst you either get what you expected or become pleasantly surprised, some goons seem to have trouble with that idea

I just generally find it silly to dismiss the game entirely before anyone even has their hands on it. The difference here is this one is a direct mechanical sequel to an existing game, so it's very easy to A/B it with Generations and point out the parts that are explicitly weaker (everything).

There's a couple points in Studiopolis act 2 or Flying Battery that you need to reverse to hold momentum If you hold down in those sections to spin you should keep your momentum whatever happens.

Eh, I'm just a hopeless optimist so I realize I'm incredibly misplaced in this dead gay internet forum. The footage seen so far does look weak, not contesting that, I'm just withholding utmost judgment for release.
