Heroes wasn't so bad after accounting for the whack-rear end physics, the only hazard being bottomless pits and all those Eggman's robots.

Which is to say, no, I do not like it.

My memory of that Heroes is that it's the first one where the camera is rarely if ever a problem.

I distinctly remember the boss camera being very fickle

the replacement songs aren't bad but I hav no idea what they were thinking with the instrumentation.

I've heard claims that the replacement tracks in Origins are from an even earlier beta build than the one that got leaked a few years back, which could explain that.

Was it true the GC version of Sonic Heroes was way less glitchy than the others or am I making that up? Either way, I played it so much I mostly adapted to any weirdness.

4 playthroughs was still bullshit tho

That’s the version I own and don’t recall having any major issues not related to the actual gameplay so I’d say yes

Yes, the PC version was based on an earlier build and has a bunch more glitches that speedrunners love. PS2 version might have been the same, I don't know.

The only thing I still remember about actually playing Heroes is one of the team dark missions that ends with you running up the inside of a big cylindrical silo as it fills with lava or whatever, and there's a point where every time I'd do the homing attack it'd lock onto something 90 degrees from where I was facing and fling the character directly towards the camera and to their death, every single time

ouuuuuurgh gently caress now I'm mad just thinking about this part

Yeah, the Gamecube was the primary development system with the others being ports of the gamecube version (and also the gamecube version having more bugfixes that they got in while they were working on the ports to the other systems). The gamecube was the system that they were most familiar with due to SADX/SA2. And because they devved on it all their shaders and stuff were designed around the gamecube architecture.

The XBox and PC version were moderately buggy and a noticeable downgrade from the gamecube in terms of both graphics and glitches. The PS2 version was an absolute clusterfuck on both fronts. (And there's the PS3 version, which is a semi-emulated semi-ported version of the PS2 version, because not all PS3 had backwards compatibility and it wasn't powerful enough to straight emulate PS2, so what happens is it emulates some of it and directly translates system calls of the others, and you basically end up with the PS2 version but with even more glitches.)

Most A ranks in Heroes are pretty easy, since for most of them it just boils down to “can you beat the stage without dying”.

I mean, not that it’s not nothing, since you still have to figure out how to not die. But beyond that it’s not like it requires strict timing or learning fast routes etc.

The team bosses are hosed though. Straight up rng of either a long back and forth, or one team randomly kills itself in the first 10 seconds.

They are actually calling it the year of Shadow, holy poo poo.

edit: wait hold the loving phone, the site mentions Sonic: All-stars being the reason he modified his bike, which means to certain kind of nerd, Danica Patrick, Wreck-it-Ralf, and Simon from the Yogscast are all cannon to Sonic now.

Nope, that was it

Also the former still doesn’t have a release date besides late 2024 yet does it?

This therefore implies they’re going to keep making movies after the third one (and as long as they stay decent enough I’ve got no problem with that)
