I don't think werehog is actually a problem there; there's about as much as in the HD version and the level design is sometimes actually better. The Sonic levels on the other hand are so underwhelmingly dimps that there's no real reason to play through the mediocre brawler that is werehog to get to them. A whole lotta running through empty space with no input required.

It's still vastly better than the outrageously broken system that they had on the 360/PS3 release. Like I honestly think a lot of the no input running is welcome. It's important for the level pacing that there be breathing room between areas where you're doing a fair bunch of intense things. I think part of the reason I enjoyed speedrunning Unleashed wii as much as I did was that it actually gave me time to think about the next manoeuvre down the course.

I smashed it this morning, beat my PR for the same 4 mile river path I've been running for 3 years. Thanks for all the suggestions over the weekend, my list certainly still has room to grow :) after I posted last night I added the Sonic OVA's "Look Alike" to the mix but was so pumped from completing the playlist I didn't want to edit my post!!

Me vs my PR today:

Here are stupid good quality rips of Sega Genesis / Mega Drive music:

If you have emulator rips or youtube downloads of these then get them again from here, the sound is a little different.

How about the soundtracks from Sonic 1/2 remastered mobile ports? They were able to find the original sample files used to create the Genesis synth, so it actually sounds crisper than the original (since the sounds were compressed to put them on the chip)(I think that's how it worked?)

The only things that were samples were the drumbeats pretty much. Genesis music is generated by modulating waveforms (FM synth). The remaster might've been from an emulator or a really good recording of a Genesis.

Or the slightly more expensive version of the sound chip that didn't have noise down every channel.

Apparently it was FM synths same as the originals, high-quality versions of the drum sound samples files, all given a proper mix.

If you can't get through on the Sonic website, preorders are up on Amazon at least

i'm really glad there's a PC version of the special edition, too many games just leave PC out of that stuff entirely

Spiderdrake

Yeah the PC version wasn't up on amazon.ca when I posted that, but it is now and I'm too stupid not to preorder that.

Well whatever it's no stupider than buying a 3P Optimus Prime for a hundred bucks and now ... we wait...

Also may I thought they said first quarter 2017 :(

If the collectors edition is $70, how much is the regular download? It looks nice but I don't have room for collectible tat anyway.

Id guess $30, I think Generations and SLW both launched at that price point on Steam, and this is a download only game.

If I ever get engaged, I'd be ecstatic if the ring I got had 7 gems in the shape of Sonic 1/2 Chaos Emeralds and a central green gem that was cut like the master emerald. Like, I don't care how expensive the stones used are, as long as I know I can go super with my gold ring and chaos emeralds at any time.


E: 6 gems + master emerald is okay as long as the person says they couldn't find the drat 4th chaos emerald.

Yeah gently caress you for wanting an engagement ring that speaks to you as a person get back in the box with the bland blob of shiny you're supposed to want like a good consumer.

Also I wonder if the dudes working on Sonic Mania are starting to feel a lot of pressure.
