Sonic 1 and 2 getting the Sonic CD treatment by Taxman and Stealth

Just saw this myself... Fuck me.

Speaking of Special Stages, and perhaps this belongs in the other thread... why not have a "Ring Attack" for these Stages?

 

Doing loops in the corkscrew, I don't even.

 

I wanted to see what would happen if you would collect all of the emeralds and then finish that bonus special stage. The game acts like you have all 7 as usual barring the fact that Super Sonic is suddenly disabled :v:

 

Clearly you'll unlock Hyper Sonic.*

Special Stage 8 is awesome, just a shame touch screen controls make everything terrible, I really need to pair a controller to this.


*Is a lie

 

Who do I ask to have Google Play Games cloud save support added to the game? Would be nice if I ever want to play it on the tablet I got my mother for Christmas.

 

... I didn't get hit once and I was 34 rings short, using a touchscreen.

 

And Sonic 1 Special Stage 7 while we're at it?

 

I don't know if this has been asked before but Im not gonna read the entire 128 page to find the answer but...

What's the current state of the console/PC Port of Sonic 1 & 2?

While I can play both games on my phone and I do have a bluetooth controller, the point of the matter is that I want to play this on a big screen on my PS3 or on my PC.

Keep in mind I supported Sonic CD on all the platforms I owned, that being the 360, PS3, PC and Android.

Im willing to do the same with Sonic 1 & 2 and I'm sure many will do the same.

 

Apparently SEGA doesn't want them to port the games over. Dunno why.

 

Could always use Bluestacks at least. Its pretty much the same as playing a PC version.

 

Why?

I mean the Sonic Retro engine makes this piss easy.

I want Taxman and Stealth to tell Sega that many of us are willing to fork money for it.

Hell I supported all the Sonic CD versions just to support Taxman.

I don't even play with the 360 version that much but I still bought it.

If Sonic 1 & 2 gets released on actual gaming devices I will support them as well.

Or does Sega hates money?

To be fair I would love for a Linux version. Its sad that Sonic CD is on steam but only on windows, knowing how easy to port this is, this game should be on every platform conceivable.

Why is SEGA being so dense about this?

 

Sega hates good business decisions

 

They didn't use the Retro engine portability to make the Sonic CD PC port, though. They hired Blit Software to port from the 360 version.

 

It won't work as good as if we tell Sega we want the games on consoles.

 

Is SEGA just being SEGA then?

I mean from what I know about the Sonic Retro engine is that its pretty easy to port it to any platform.

It doesnt take much of a budget to make a Win/Mac/Linux release.

Console might be a bit pricey because of licensing but PC shouldn't be an issue.

Yeah, I remember reading that ages ago.

Why would SEGA do something that stupid is beyond me.

When its much cheaper to just use the Retro engine.

 

It's not about budget. They just don't want to port the game to consoles.

We should tell SEGA we want the game on consoles, not Taxman and Stealth, they've already said it.

 

Why?

I mean why don't they want more money?

Everybody loves money!

I mean they can make money by just letting Taxman and Stealth click a button to compile a PC version.

 

They must have their reasons. Nobody here knows, that's the point.

 

They're probably/hopefully waiting for the entire trilogy to be finished and then publicly bugtested before releasing a Sonic Jam style PC pack alongside the old emulated versions, so that everyone will have to re-buy the games.
