I actually finished Sonic Forces today after getting it for 10 bucks a few days back! It seemed unfinished and all the classic Sonic Stages were unfortunately rear end but even so I had fun, and the avatar stuff put a doofy grin on my face and the soundtrack is pretty great so money well spent I guess.

I don't actually know what happened to Eggman after I blew up his final boss but I guess he's inexplicably survived worse, And Infinite just kinda disappeared or something so maybe he was just an illusion too? I dunno, he had some good rear end theme songs so best of luck to the edgy little whatever he was. Also where the hell was Blaze or Big? loving Vector keeps getting work but they can't back the purple cats?

I have to assume Sega doesn’t want to pay for a Windows port. With Fire TV it’s still the Android version so it was likely cheap to get working on Fire OS.

The windows port basically already exists, that's the whole point of the retro engine. That said, they'd have to pay fees to the devs still, even though it's not that much work.

The real reason that it's not on console is because different divisions of sega are little fortresses pointing guns at each other and console and PC are like 'what do you mean we already have ports of those games that we comissioned and they're fine I don't want your stuff'.

If you want to play the mobile ports on PC, Bluestacks has really come along in leaps and bounds and is currently up to version 4 point something; the only minor technical step involved in setup is switching on hardware virtualization in your BIOS, which should be easy enough if you dig through the menus.

You'll also need to buy the games from the Google Play store if you don't have them there already, but you can do it through Bluestacks if needs be.

I like the idea that all Sonic fans really want is more Classic, so when they got Mania, the response was that it wasn't enough and we need the Sonic mobile ports too. Meanwhile, everyone waiting for Sonic Adventure 3 or a Forces follow-up aren't real Sonic fans.

I can't give you a good answer about Blaze, since tbh Silver being around makes no sense, but Big is a character that they've been avoiding using in non-spin off titles for a while. At least they're both in Team Sonic Racing.

People wanted those ports prior to Mania's release because theyre the best versions of the classic games. Mania, Forces, whatever had no bearing on that request because those mobile ports came out long before the other games.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the updated port of Sonic CD did actually get a console version a while back.

I wonder if CD just didn't sell as well on console and desktop as we assume it would? They released it on Windows Phone for Christ's sake, it's not like they weren't willing to spread it around.

MikeJF

No, CD was released on console and desktop because it wasn't already on console and desktop. Sega isn't going to put the mobile ports of 1 and 2 there because they already have what they think are perfectly good emulations available.

Sonic 1 and 2 were replaced on mobile because Sega Mobile was aware they were dogshit and the CD team were already close with the people managing the mobile titles as part of the CD development.

As much as I've been digging all the TSR songs till date, this song is kinda meh to me. Not as exciting or well produced as the previous stages. It's okay, but I'm glad all the other songs have been top notch.

And while I'm being critical, the snippet of the Crush 40 song was also kinda average as well. Normally I'm all in on the Crush 40 themes, but this one doesn't feel very exciting. But I'm at least glad they're still doing poo poo for new sonic games at least.
