In Topic: Sonic Generations Megathread II
14 January 2012 - 12:38 PM
I'm weighing in here purely because I'm curious to see if anyone else remembers this, and I believe it's relevant to the current discussion.
When I first played Sonic the Hedgehog 1 on the Mega Drive, shortly afterwards (or it may have been before? I don't remember well, I was very young) here in the UK, there was a magazine/ comic companion released. I believe I bought the 1st issue.
In this issue, the story went that Sonic's speed shoes were made for him by his scientist friend Dr. Ovi Kintobor. I think then there was some sort of incident in the lab. Regardless of how it happened, he turned evil and became Dr. Ivo Robotnik. I really don't know if this was the actual origin of the name or not, but that's where I first read it. It may have been that Ivo Robotnik had already been decided and it was just made backwards for the backstory. This was definitely before the release of Sonic 2. I remember reading it because I thought I was really smart figuring out that the name was backwards (I was very young!).
Does anyone else remember this? -
In Topic: Why hasn't SA2 been released for the PC or 360?

I would love to see a port of SA2 on PSN/360/Steam. The part that confuses me is that it's quite easily playable and almost glitch free in real widescreen 720/1080p on Dreamcast and Gamecube emulators. Would it be so hard to transfer this mechanic to a system specific runtime attached to the game's bootfile?
I bought SADX again for the PS3 when it came out on PSN and I was less than impressed. It may not have aged well, but they could have at least allowed you to make the thing fullscreen. Playing in tunnelvision is not my idea of fun.
I much prefer SA2 to SA1 - to me, every aspect of every stage is more fun. Maybe there was some sort of exclusivity agreement when they made SA2:Battle for the Gamecube?
EDIT: Forgot to add; what I want first is S3&K on PSN. Aside from SA2, it's the only main Sonic Title you can't get on the PS3. Annoying. Sonic Heroes doesn't count. :P -

On the PS3 you could create a European Account, redeem the codes and then just sign into your normal account and play the game (at least for casino night). I don't know if this works for XBox though. I used this method to play the Uncharted 3 Subway beta before it came to PS+, as I'm in Europe. -

Got my CE on Friday, completed it earlier today (or yesterday, technically). I'm now collecting red rings and aiming for the platinum trophy.
Verdict - definitely the best Sonic game in at least a decade. I've so enjoyed it, and I even really like some of the missions. Did I read some people didn't get a proper instruction manual? I was worried about that after reading it, but thankfully mine had a full one in it ^_^.
