SA1 Comes to XBLA & PSN.

Um, SA1's only so far been released on Dreamcast, GameCube, and PC. And the GC and PC ports were filled with lots of extras and differences. Wasn't aware of an iPod port.

That doesn't even make sense. What does an "inconsistent title logo" have to do wtih voice acting in a port? And the inconsistencies you see come from leaked photos on a message board. Leaps in logic, my friends.

 

I swear SA1 ever even had more than 2 ports, and that was a multiplatform game, which actually added something to the game(Metal Sonic, and missions). Also, why do you have a hard-on over SA2? Its levels are a straight line with a downward slant.

 

But Bristow's dead D:

 

QFT.

"Within reason", however? Pah, the voice work in SA1 was complete balls, bar Bristow. Classic examples include "Something buggin' you?" and "I'm glad you're okay".

 

I'm sorry, but isn't this game's entire existence based on the assumption that these screenshots are leaked and correct? We can't really talk about the hypothetical otherwise.

Assuming that these screenshots are real, why is it a leap in logic to assume that if Sega doesn't even care about this port enough to use the correct name for the dashboard that they won't go out of their way, paying voice actors, to rerecord dialogue for absolutely no reason? If everything else about this port is like SADX, from the lack of widescreen to the framerate, why in the world would they spend the money and time to rerecord several hundred lines of dialogue (especially since each scene has different dialogue in different stories!) for... what, exactly? Consistency? Shits and giggles? People who didn't like the old VAs? In fact, the opposite is true. In Riders (which is not a port!), they reused dialogue from SA2's battle mode. If a new game can reuse dialogue where it doesn't make sense, why can't an old game reuse dialogue where it's fully acceptable and expected?

It's a larger leap in logic to assume that this game's screens are faked than it is to assume that Sega will magically decide to stop being a company and turn this quick-money port into a complete overhaul. My original post was simply to provide context for how much Sega is willing to devote to this port.

Even if Sega did care about this port, the chances of a full rerecord are still infinitesimal.

 

If they ever port SA2 they damn well better rerecord the voices, or retime the scenes, or somI'LL MAKE YOU EAT THOSE WORDS!ething.

 

I feel that's part of the charm of SA2.

 

All I was saying was that it was a leap in logic, not that I was arguing for the rerecording of voices.

C'mon, no one's really that naive, are they?

 

if they retime those scenes and is winds up being beter than the Dreamcast and Gamecube versions, then Sega would have done something better than Rare and 4J studios.

If they ported it.

 

The only differences between the PC and Gamecube versions is that the Gamecube port supported additional shader effects. Reflective/rippling water, etc. These were removed from the PC port because they are dumb.

 

What I want to see is a Sonic Adventure Collection released on a disk. Sonic Adventures 1 and 2, with the best parts of the originals and the remakes each in one game (for instance SA1 character models and SADX mission mode in one Sonic Adventure. SA2's Big cameos and SA2B's chao system in the same Sonic Adventure 2.)

 

And why not tack on Sonic Shuffle? Sonic Dreamcast Collection!

 

You cannot possibly be serious about a games company using a lower quality model when they have a relatively decent one available. That's just plain impossible.

 

May plan constitutes pulling features from the GameCube versions as well.

 

The shader effects or Sonic Team?
