Looks like a midnight release won't be a thing on Switch, in my region anyway. I'm a few minutes past midnight and it's still giving me the "fuck off and wait" message when I try to boot up the game.
So I'm of the opinion that the replaced zone tracks weren't done by Jun Senoue, and that they're actually from an earlier prototype or music archive. But that still begs the question, who the fuck signed off on these? Like who listened to Carnival Night and thought that sounded perfectly fitting and ok to put in the game?
Yeah I find it annoying that I have to wait until 12 PM to play on my Switch.. Mania was available on Switch after midnight so why couldn’t they do the same here? This is why I don’t really prefer digital releases but whatever
I managed to play this game a bit before bed on my Switch. Unlocked some stuff in museum. Gonna try the debug mode too tomorrow. I kept trying the vine trick and kept wondering why it no work lol. Glad found out few posts earlier theres new code
If that is the case, my next question would be: Why did SEGA's Katie specifically state that the different tracks were being handled by Jun?
lmao the menus in the Switch port run at 30 FPS. iOS releases of 1 and 2 ran their (albeit simpler) menus at 60FPS. Strange that they used the Hedgehog Engine when Unity or something would’ve sufficed.
Wait, seriously? I think I might just skip this if I have to wait that long. I'm already feeling pretty iffy on this as-is. My weekend is going to basically be over by then.
Like some have figured before, Jun probably handled the recording and sound mastering of the tracks, but didn't actually recompose them or so forth. When Katie said he was remastering them via old tapes, she was probably more literal than even she realized. Starting to feel like Sega wants to make Hedgehog Engine 2 their personal Frostbite like Electronic Arts, after the better part of the past decade has been spent building it and funneling god knows how much funding into its development.
Anyone else had the prototype tracks stuck in their head because of listening to comparisons and stuff? I've had prototype Carnival Night Act 2 stuck in my head all day. Damn shame the Origins version got mangled a bit, it's a damn catchy track.
Yeah that’s the time when the eShop usually puts out new digital games… it happened with Shredder’s Revenge last week and I couldn’t play it until I got home from work.. I wanted to have it ready to go so I can play during lunch but mehhhh
So, a glitch just happened in this live stream: They travelled so fast as Super Sonic they outran boss camera boundary somehow and hit the capsule.
Not really strange. There's no licensing fee for their own internal engines and tools, while there is for Unity.
i was just thinking; if the camera lock can be overidden by speed, the runs on this version are gonna be crazy
Furthermore, while I don't have a time stamp nor video clip, earlier in that stream they went really fast to the right underwater in Carnival Night Zone: Act 2 (That area with the barrels, fans, spikes and Knuckles-exclusive-breakable-blocks path.) and Sonic died off-screen while outrunning the camera, during travel through the little tunnel area prior to the spikes area. Unsure what all that was about. Scratch that, I backtracked in the live stream, found when the glitch happened and clipped it.
Playing Origins right now as I'm in the UK and I just logged in to say, I absolutely LOVE it. The Drop Dash really is a valuable asset. And you can airlift Sonic like in Mania without having to rely on the second controller like in the Mega Drive original. I've mainly played the anniversary edition of Sonic 3 & Knuckles and have already noticed cool little touches such as the sound for going super being incorporated into the opening scene when Sonic goes super, Knuckles having his "Ready to fight" idle animation after knocking the emeralds out of Sonic instead of just standing there and the control temporarily locking when the mini boss that sets the island on fire first appears. I got a perfect in the first special stage and was rewarded 3 coins for it too.
Question I have that I know I'll find out tomorrow but is the box art displayed on the main menu tied to the region or can that be changed? Because so help me if I have to look at ass face Mohawk boy each time
