Man screw Zippo, dude has a really good record of not being right at all, and this (apparently not entirely true, since Sega was just planning on it) leak came form Midori, a really trustworthy Sega/Atlus leaker (thsat has only been wrong ONCe, and it was a single release date that was wrong)

Zippo read that leak and started saying it was 100% true and real, and that it was really really happening, then the sonic fanbase(tm) started throwing shit at Midori, causing her to quit leaks alltogether

So thanks, Zippo, for absolutely nothing

there is one thing almost all sonic fans agree on, SA1 and SA2 is are good
Sonic is such a difficult franchise for me to analyze because I'm not sure how I (personally) would have transitioned the series to 3D.

All things considered, the gameplay of Sonic Adventure makes sense: Hub world, levels. Envisioning the game design is difficult because you'd essentially have speed-based forward movement mixed with platforming. Sonic Team hedged their bets by including several different gameplay types, like scavenger hunting and pet simulator, and that added variety for better or for worse.

One stage with many collectables might have brought too many comparisons to Mario or Banjo Kazooie, but I think that'd allow for branching paths, emphasis on speed, and larger stages. Some better control during combat would have been good, but I'm not sure how I'd implement it. It's a real brain exercise.

Sonic Generations made so much sense because it combined the 3D and 2D gameplay really well. It would have been a good direction for the series from the start.

That god awful title screen theme.

I wonder how many people I just pissed off by saying that, lol!

You take that back this instant. Sonic music has become a category all its own. Have you ever rolled around at the speed of sound? Have you ever seen the world spinning upside down? Have you ever been so in love that you can dream on sweet dream?

I did not think so.

How is that even a terrible game? Its one of the greatest alongside Sonic Adventure 2.
you must be fucking joking. it barely has any speed. you have to stop and switch characters to pass areas and the characters are lame AF with gimmicky AF levels and other annoying shit that should not be in a sonic game! go back and play SA2 than play heroes right afterwards it's like fucking night and day :lol:

Correction: In relation to Sonic Adventure 2 not the remake. Fuck that.

If Ken Penders wants so badly to own Sonic the Hedgehog then instead of Sega wanting to own Super Mario Bros. from Nintendo then what if for instance in alternate scenario Ken Penders wants to own Jazz Jackrabbit from Epic Games so in that case in alternate scenario they could own Commander Keen from Id Software.

They made a very good point.

The level design of Sonic Heroes, I think, tries as hard as it can to mimic Sonic 3's vast scope. It just has bad controls and can be a little grindy.

I have a lot of nostalgia for it, but I think it gets a way worse rap than it should. A remake could do that game wonders.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
