I hope they do not jam Classic Sonic awkwardly in another game. Generations worked with it, but Forces would have been better if he were sidelined and Modern Sonic/Player Character gameplay were more fleshed out with meatier zones. Also, it committed the worst sin by Classic Sonic having bad music.

Evening, patrolmaaan.
When was the stream that got cancelled due to covid where they were first supposed to reveal the next Sonic game?
I can’t believe after all this time that was still all they had/wanted to show for it.

I'm going to laugh my rear end of and not be surprised at all if the Origins games aren't the taxman ports, and they use other ports/do new work and end up with less extra features and content then those ports already had.

Like, given CD is already on PC, I have to assume porting 1&2 from iOS probably can't be the hardest option since I assume those 3 all works similarly? But Sega/Sonic team always seems to do stuff in the weirdest ways.


The Android Ports have already been decompiled and run natively on PC/Switch, I can't imagine they won't use the Taxman ports. Let them do Sonic 3 & Knuckles Sega you turds!

Apparently the engine is not easy to port/emulate, which is why the retro engine was such a big deal. It’s also a sign that it probably isn’t the Taxman ports since those are a near decade old and wouldn’t take that much time to port over.

Unless he never really worked on the S3&K port besides the proof-of-concept.

Likely so they can use it to promote the upcoming movie that year (in which Tails and Knuckles will both be present)

I kind of hope Sonic 3 is getting an update of some kind but if that was the case they probably would have said something

Sorta lukewarm towards Colors Ultimate. Where's my Unleashed Ultimate, huh? Huh?!

I guess I'm vaguely intrigued by that teaser. I dont care if they're waiting until 2022, just make it good.

More details about Sonic Colors Ultimate
They added the jade ghost wisp from TSR that lets you phase through objects as well as Metal Sonic races that let you unlock stuff. (I guess that’s why they put him in the cartoon they’re making.) There are also cosmetic items as seen in the trailer and the movie tie-in is apparently the electric boost effect.

Seems decent enough at least.

I kind of wish they’d port some of the more obscure Sonic games one day (like Chaotix, SegaSonic, Pocket Adventure, the 3D world segment of Sonic Jam, maybe Sonic Shuffle, etc)

Yeah on PSN it's listed as a 9/6/21 release, and the Digital Deluxe is 9/2/21. So the day after each of those if we're assuming a midnight/late night release on those dates.

sweet, guess they just didn’t have footage from the actual port ready.
Next they should just tweet out “oh by the way Sonic Zap will have a full demo at E3, forgot to mention that”

The ranking system in Colours didn’t make much sense to me. Getting through the stage quickly, picking up lots of rings and pulling off tricks? B rank. Quick-stepping constantly and going in circles with the drill wisp? S rank.

It’s a good game, but I’d take a streamlined version of Unleashed with no QTEs and optional werehog segments any day. Keep Eggmanland as it is so you can either do the werehog stages to level up and make it easier, or just skip them and tackle it at level 1.

The fact that they've yet to announce or tease another 2D game in the style of Mania has me nearly convinced they're still put off by Mania's success. It feels like such a no brainer, and for a series/team with such a rocky track record, I think it's really silly to act like they're above doing the same thing twice.

They'll use the Origins collection as a litmus test to see if they should greenlight a new 2D game. And if sells poorly because it's got poor emulation, they're tired of buying the Genesis games for the tenth time or whatever? Guess nobody wants a 2D Sonic.

Yeah Colors has ranking based much much more of score rather than time. I wonder if that's something they'll adjust. It was Generations that did the ranking system right, focusing on speed and not dying.

Hell ye Colors outside of Wii! I can't express how excited I am to play this on a system I actually own and enjoy! Now to decide wether to play it on PC or Switch...

Also the new Sonic game coming out on all the platforms makes me weary of what the actual quality will be. The Switch and PS5 are so far apart in raw computing power it's not even funny, making games that target both systems will require some serious compromise.

It’s probably going to be for the Switch Pro and won’t do things like real time particle effects lighting so that would make it much more achievable

This Sonic game was likely developed for PS4 and Xbox, and will be either up or downscaled for the next-gen and Switch versions.
