That's a good endorsement because I really liked Sonic Generations. Good speed and stage design. I liked the remixes, though the Green Hills theme in minor (in the hub) felt so melancholy.
I admit that I didn't watch the video, but the thumbnail made me laugh. I had fun with Sonic Mania, and I appreciate all the Christian Whitehead stuff. My feeling is that either you like a particular Sonic game or you don't, and everyone has an entirely different opinion about each one.
I like hearing the arguments. It's fascinating, but unfortunately, it usually results in an internet fight.
I do not want Sega (Or it's Sammy half of the whole company) or any company they contract to touch thier past titles beyond just emulating them for all eternity ala the Non-Sonic Genesis games becuase every single time, they find new ways to fuck it up.
It'd be easier to just accept that these companies will try to milk whatever they have in their back catalog. Sometimes, you get Sonic Origins (2022), and sometimes, you get Sonic Superstars (2023).
Sometimes, you get them both just one year apart!

Sonic Heroes remake will never happen because Sonic Hero- wait I meant rerelease. Because RenderWare (the thing used to make the graphics) is EA exclusive
Hmm... Killer7 got a rerelease, and that's Renderware, apparently.
Clearly a lot of other games did not, but then a lot of those games are probably not of sufficient interest.

They probably used a different engine or something. All I know is a YouTube video that said Sonic Heroes will not return due to RenderWare and f4mi's video about Burnout and RenderWare saying EA bought it, and didn't license it to any companies after that
I remember murmurs before Killer7's PC release, with people saying Dolphin UI elements were visible in some footage. I never looked deeply into it, so I don't have a definitive answer.

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:
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:
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?

@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:
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:
@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:
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:
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

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:
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 -
