It's normal that it runs like that, netbooks are not meant for gaming (especially those that use Intel integrated graphics). :\

What he said. why are you trying to run it on a netbook, a laptop thats meant to use for normal internet activities only?

You should have played the demo to see if it works decent on your PC.

Appearently this hasn't been brought up so I'm going to help y'all out.

Listen up guys because I want to show you a handy website I've been using for YEARS:
http://www.systemreq...cyri/intro.aspx

Its called "Can you run it?" its a simple website that, after a short web based installation that removes itself shortly after, checks your computers system specs and compares them to the game's minimum and reccommend requirements. Generations is on there so is S4E1.

It'll save you guys allot of questions concerning if your computer can run a game or not.

What does lighting the seven Chaos Emeralds do in the Casino Night minigame? Score multiplier?

Yeah I used the demo. I knew it wouldn't run well. Crysis on Max runs better for me than sonic generations.

My laptop doesn't have an intel card, I keep that shit outa my computers. It's an ati radeon hd 4225. It's a netbook if you've read the description. Good ports let you scale down graphics till it works.

EDIT: oftentimes canirunit is wrong simply because the dev given system requirements are wrong.

If I ever see that their system requirements are mislead I email them about it. they usually respond saying they will fix it.

So I'm getting the QuickStep glitch /really bad/ in the Steam demo. Anyone else getting it? I tried playing Classic and switching back, but it did nothing.

I find that more often than not, if you've got intergrated graphics on a laptop, then Can You Run It will tell you that you can't run a game, regardless of if the intergrated graphics are good or not.

Case in point - I just checked Sonic 4 Episode 1 (Which I've been running on my laptop since it was released yesterday, and running VERY well), and the site gave me a FAIL due to this:

[Lanzer]

Yeah they should really address that bug. I've have had the same problem with other games but if I pass the checkmarks at the bottom then its just the bug acting up.

I should email them about that, maybe with enough complaints they will fix it.

[Dark Sonic]

I finally got Windows back on my computer via bootcamp, and the demo runs pretty well. Perfect? Hell no, but it's definitely playable. Basically, it's like the console version.

For $15 I'm willing to experiment. This game running ok for $15 is still worth a hell of a lot more then Sonic 4 Ep 1 running great for $10

So it seems my controller is causing the Quick Step glitch, because playing with a keyboard eliminates the problem entirely.

in semi-related news, somehow I am better with my keyboard than I am with my USB controller, because one hour and a 1:53 time on GHZ2 later

Use Xbox360ce to fix the quickstep glitch (We really need to put a sticky or something about that)

So I went and bought the Casino Night Zone DLC and I gotta say, this is the most pointless DLC ever. Oh well, at least the money went to a good cause (funding a PC port of Sonic 2006, I hope).

[Chimera]

>Pinball game pointless
>Hoping for PC port of absolute worst game ever

sir, are you okay?


...alright, I can admit for a Sonic game it's kinda unfitting, and a PC port of 06 could lead to mods that could make it less crap (most of the game is coded in LUA after all!), but eh, I enjoyed the pinball game and I doubt 06 will ever be touched by SEGA again outside of a remake.

The Pinball is great, its really fun, there are only 2 things wrong with it
1. Sonic will occasioanlly just bounce off the table, loosing you a life
2. As shown by me here, the scorecap is 999,999

I COULDAA KEPT GOING DANMIT!
