Sonic Classic Collection

Sparkling Zone and Clock Ork Zone anyone? Not quite the same though. I guess Dust Hill is kinda though...

 

And Wood Zone. Unlike all of these though, a fair amount of Hidden Palace was complete along with several discussions from the developers about how the finished level was supposed to work. I'm not saying there is a high amount of chance they WOULD do it, it very likely will never happen officially, I'm just saying it may be done one day perhaps if it is asked for enough (SEGA does listen to fans at times, just not always with successful results).

 

Still proly too late now that it is released! (Classic Collection, not Sonic 2)

 

Remember who's making this game. The game already has enough problems, and it isn't even new stuff.

 

I could see it more for a special edition of the game, sorta like they did with the SEGA Ages titles with lots of bonuses and extra modes. Classic Collection admitedly is likely just meant to be a simple compilation rather than a collector's edition type remake like Sonic Jam or Mario All Stars so it probably wouldn't have such a huge inclusion that many fans have been treasuring and begging for so many years.

 

Sega? Listening to fans? Puh-leeze.

 

SEGA does actually answer to fans pleas at times, it's just not always with a successful result or is a request that a large amount of others don't appreciate, eg. using Tails in SA2, rereleasing Sonic CD, arguably reviving Shadow. Even if Sonic 4 isn't a big success it was at least SEGA listening to what the fanbase discuss about and TRYING to put it into a product, they even satirized how they don't want other characters in the games.

This doesn't make a Hidden Palace remake likely at all, but it makes it the slightest bit possible. Enough more immature fans simply haven't whined about it twenty four seven. lol

 

Regarding Sonic 4, I'd say it's more the fact SEGA noticing that retro revivals are all the rage right now, as opposed to them listening to fans.

 

^^^^^^^

I only spelled that out to y'all, what, months ago?

 

Guess what? It DOESN'T suck.

 

Why was the spinner disappearing?

 

Huh, didn't notice that at first. There was a bit of slowdown as well, but regardless is look like it doesn't suck.

 

Yeah, if a disappearing object and minor slowdown is the worst of it's problems I'd be happy with it.

 

I just wonder if they kept the water ripple effect in Japanese Sonic 1's Labyrinth Zone. That was such a great effect. That and all the other extra parallax background effects they later added for the Japanese version...

 

The ring sound is better than the one from Jenesis =D. And the DAC is more accurate, that is awesome.

 

I don't know how you could possibly judge the sound that well from a poor quality cam video like that...

 

Well I'll be damned. Looks mighty fine judging from that video.

 

It's... just emulated. How did you people expect it to look? It's pretty hard to fuck up emulation when you've done it a hundred and one times already.

 

I'm more concerned that all the proper saving methods are in place for S3&K, and that you can make the graphics 1:1. Everything else was likely as solid as ever.

 

When it comes to Sonic, you can expect them to fuck up a lot of things. And then there's the matter of the Sonic 1 GBA port- it was utter shit. This isn't a port, but still it's good to know it's decent.
