Sonic, Tails and Metal all keep horizontal movement when you let go of left/right, but Super Sonic doesn't for some reason.

Oh wow! Let me guess—it's not a bug; it's a feature, an extra-special privilege of Super Sonic?

Or maybe since you're playing a pretty early beta, it hasn't been changed yet?

Well, I've found something I hope gets fixed in the final: Tails dropping Sonic when they're flying against a wall. I don't remember the last time I've gotten consecutive Game Overs in the same spot in a Sonic game. ODZ1 is the first Sonic-anything to piss me off this much in a long time. It doesn't help that I picked this weekend to quit smoking, but still, fuck this level, fuck this shoddy flying mechanic, fuck those flaming Orbinaut things, and fuck this stupid drop-Sonic-like-a-fucking-rock glitch feature.

You mean when you get to the top of a ledge? The same thing used to annoy me in Sonic 3 all the time, haha. You've just got to make sure you get both characters totally over the wall, then I usually just jump off and home forward.

It's clearly not that early. The only obvious problems are a texture bug in the first level and an instant-99-rings cheat, aside from that I expect this to be pretty much what we get next month.

Sorry about the download request. I figured since it was released on Steam, even if it was by accident, then it would be fine. Didn't mean to break any rules.

So, can I just assume that if I can run Ep. 1 on my computer, that Ep. 2 should work just fine?

Well, knowing how Steam patches up bugs for games on a regular basis, it would be much appreciated if they took the time to do the same for this game after its release.

Generations has only seen one patch update, so it leads me to assume that Sonic titles aren't really a priority in tweaking, even though they are in desperate need of it.

I think the Japanese are very new to this idea of "patching" a game. Their tradition is more along the lines of re-releasing the game and charging full price for it (hi Capcom).

It all stems back to the PC - there's a really long history in the west of downloading patches for stuff via the internet, which is more convienient on a computer than it was on the consoles. But the Japanese don't really have that. They don't really have a PC community with companies building Unreal Engines or operating systems or whatever. Once they reach version 1.0 they're done - they don't think so much about 1.1s and 1.5s unless there are show stopping bugs. Or at least that's the impression I get.

Of course, this history means they're not great with online stuff in general. This is why Nintendo have been slow. Sega used to have the advantage of a US development branch forcing this stuff, but that doesn't seem to really exist anymore.

Depends on your computer and how smoothly you expect it to run. For me, while Episode 1 runs at approximately 50-60 frames per second at any given time, Episode 2 can dip a fair bit, causing input lag and being a bit frustrating at times.

I did two more 'remixes' for White Park Act 1 and Oil Desert Act 1.

I'm finding it kinda easy to find instruments that sound like the originals. I immediately knew what patches to use for White Park Act 1, but Oil Desert Act 1 required a bit more browsing though as I found things to use. I couldn't find that weird square like lead for it, and I had to use VOPM (which I doubt Jun Senoue used) and stole a preset from Metal Head (32X) for that weird FM Guitar/Sitar synth in the back. If you think Jun Senoue likes to over abuse certain instruments in his songs, check out Metal Head's soundtrack - each song consists of like two patches and both of them are electric guitars that are featured in every single song sgohigsoirgh. I tried doing Act 2 but got stuck in the beginning part (the 'duck' part).

For MIDIs I'm just watching here for any that pop up.

How exactly do you guys go through the process of replacing the music in the game? I want to add some "Authentic" Sonic music tracks into it, but I really don't know where to start.

lol, this was asked on SSMB this morning. There's the sound folder, and all the music is in "SONICDL_SNG01.CPK". You'll need something to unpack and repack .cpk files, and on top of the the music itself is in .aax files, so you need whatever music you want in the same format.

I hopy they fix the lighting! The more I play more visual glitches appear!

Has this been posted yet?



Hint: I'm playing single-player!

It might actually snow pretty hard here. I'm playing an official Sonic game and actually having fun.

Edit:



>Signpost shows classic Sonic dying
>Playing as modern Sonic

Anyone else think of Demon's Souls?

Anyone else wish

Spoiler

Sky Fortress Act 2's theme was in Death Egg Act 1 instead? I think the actual Death Egg theme fits, but it goes kind of over the top for me and sounds too much like an annoying pop song on the radio.

Sky Fortress Act 2 just sounds much more befitting for traversing a giant weapon in space. It's epic, it's serious, and it sounds cool.

Supersonic HAS to be fixed. Look how he drops comparing to Tails!
