https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjGRxdugW7M who here likes Silver I think the technical side is all figured out so I've done some notes for the structure of Sonic's story to start with, figuring out how I'm gonna organize everything... ...it's gonna take 23 videos just for normal mode, with S-Ranks probably only incidental if I get lucky, because I want to collect all 10 Silver Medals as well, and I know I'll have to die for some of them... ...good thing I'm looking at a few months of living alone during weekdays for job reasons next year.

Sonic Colors Ultimate is out for Deluxe havers. Yep, this is still a Pretty Good Sonic Game. The jumping physics are still as wonky as I remember though. I’m on the edge of my rear end anytime I’m attempting precision platforming with them.

Also what does the Ghost Wisp do exactly? As an aside, for some reason the game didn’t automatically start downloading when I turned on my PS4 like usual so I had to do it manually through the store Larryb fucked around with this message at 19:16 on Sep 3, 2021 |

What kind of customization options are there? Also how does the whole Tails rescue thing work (like are there a limited amount of tokens that are one use only or something)? Finally, is there any incentive to doing the aforementioned Metal Sonic races?

Tails icons seem to have taken the place of lives, as I don’t think there’s a lives counter or pickups anymore. You find them in the levels and if you fall down a pit it transports you back to whatever the game deems the last acceptable area of the level is.

Oh, they added a Super Sonic unlock. Not sure offhand what the requirements are in addition to getting all the emeralds, which I think is achieved through the sonic simulator.

That actually sounds like a smart idea. So I assume the only difference between falling down a pit with or without Tails is where the game dumps you back to then?

Makes sense (and makes things a lot less frustrating as well). Also Super Sonic was available in the Wii version after getting all the emeralds from the Sonic Simulator as well, unless you mean there’s an extra level like in the DS version or something

Also did they change the music/SFX in this game? So far Reach For The Stars sounds slightly remixed and sometimes there’s this weird clanging sound when you land a homing attack

Ah I see. I kind of wish they gave you the option to use the d-pad during 2D sections and there’s a weird bit of lag when scrolling through the options menu. Otherwise the game still looks and plays fine so far (especially now that they’ve ditched the concept of limited lives).

Another thing is that there are no longer multiple save slots like there were in the Wii version. Also, did they have Coleen redub Kate Higgins’ lines as Tails in this game? I know he has some new hint dialogue at least.

Dehry posted:Kate is credited in the Colors Ultimate section of the credits as additional voices. Ah ok, I know there’s some new Tails dialogue in the game (the hint messages regarding the shop/Tails tokens and the Jade Wisp along with some lines on the customization menu) but I wasn’t sure if they kept Kate’s lines and had Coleen do the new ones or just had the latter do both. Speaking of, at the end of the credits the game gives you a bunch of extra lives. Since lives aren’t a thing anymore in the remake what’s that replaced with, Tails tokens or something? Finally, how do you unlock the Rival Races and do you get anything good for doing them? Larryb fucked around with this message at 04:30 on Sep 4, 2021 |

I think I was getting tokens. They both use the one up noise. Rival races unlock through red rings.

I think they literally just replaced the instances of lives pickups with the store tokens instead.

Not really, the 1up version’s sped up enough and played with different instruments so it never struck me as being too similar.

The original was way better, it had some gravitas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jM-j8kUR1MI Unfortunately they started used 1ups as a replacement for good level design later in the series, and it just wouldn't work as the kind of jingle you hear every couple of minutes

Hitlersaurus Christ posted:So is the negativity overblown like usual or is Ultimate the new SADX? I haven't bothered looking at any reviews or reactions, but the game itself is basically the same with improved visuals. However the cutscenes are just poorly upscaled versions of the originals, and the soundtrack is at best no worse than the original, and in some cases massively downgraded. The main theme just crushed me in how much worse it is, it's so weak and tinny and has lost all of its punch. The same goes for a number of in-game tracks. I kind of regret getting it for PlayStation now, because someone is definitely furiously working on restoring the original soundtrack as we speak.

The music thing is too bad, though I think we’re gonna have to agree to disagree on the main theme if you’re talking about Reach for the Stars because I really liked the new version when they played it at the symphony.

The new version is quite good, but it just doesn't work when paired with the game it was written for. The intro used to hit you like a jackhammer and set the tone perfectly, now it just feels kind of hollow in context. That's kind of how I feel for a lot of the new OST, they've removed a lot of the bass and energy that matched the bright, loud, cartoon aesthetic. I guess it's not a deal breaker or anything, but I guess I could just spin up the original in Dolphin. And if Colours is successful, maybe we'll get other remasters.

Denuvo and the engine being a combination of something new and old Wii C++ programming has lead to most modders saying "lmao gently caress this, we're not gonna mod this poo poo"
