New Sonic Game Announced

[XDel]

Died along with their other shitty games like Ecco The Dolphin. Too bad those pieces of shit dragged Vectorman down with them.

Hey man, Ecco wasn't too shabby, and for the note, at least two of the Alex Kidds were awesome, the rest though...

...about as lame as Vector Man. Joking! Vector Man ruled of course!

I tried to hold on to my pants, I really did, but my belt just flew off and dragged my pants away with it! I couldn't stop it.

At first I was gonna groan about another port of Sonic 1, but then I heard it's going to use Taxman's Retro Engine which is really cool.
Now if only they'd port Sonic 3&K too

Hehe, got your attention, huh?

Recently, SEGA has announced that later this year they will be releasing a new Sonic the Hedgehog game. What game is it? Why it's port #8633 of Sonic 1!!! Specially made for you Android and ios users! Yes folks, hold onto your pants. We are getting a 60FPS, remastered port of Sonic 1, and 2. And since you and your mother already have 50 ports already of those classic Sonic games, SEGA is being kind enough to offer the game for free to those who already purchased Sonic 1 and 2 on the app/google play store. Whee!

The port will be made by Christian Whitehead, the genius behind the Sonic CD port. Personally, I'm tired of all the Sonic rehashes, but I'm totally excited for this, as any port by Whitehead's team is always top notch. (And usually come with very nice bonus features)

I was horrendously tempted to slap you for this. But then I thought 'eh, humour has its place in the world. I'd do this as well.. I'd be a hypocrite if I slapped someone for stuff like this.'

So...

*slap*

Hypocrisy established, I must say I was quite happy to see this post, and slightly disgruntled to read the contents. Sorry, but we've seen re-re-re-re-re-re-releases of this bloody game entirely too often by this point. I'm actually kinda hoping for another game, given that Sonic Generations managed to restore my faith, to a decent extent, in the franchise. The game played well and was enjoyable. IN MY OPINION (disclaimer'd). Oh well, sooner or later, I s'ppose.

Also: Nice that they brought in this whole new engine... thing. I know next to nothing about it, so I won't comment, but still, it's nice.

If I had an iPad. Or similar device. Oh well, back to my emulator for Sonic 1 then.

Ouch.
Hyeh, hyeh. I tried to be as hope-crushing and misleading as possible with the title. So thank you for your approval of my humor.

If it's anything like that so-called Final Fantasy V "remaster" count me out.

Green Hill Zone; free
Marble Zone; $5
Spring Yard Zone; $7

Luckily, SEGA has more sense than that.

 

[Pleng]

So it's going to feature remastered music? Lazy, lazy lazy.

Update the graphics so we have the same basic game with bad ass up-to-date visuals (I'm thinking Generations 3DS) and I'll be interested. Include a 'retro-mode' with old school graphics for ll those of you with your mouse poised over 'post-reply' ready to tell me that it just wouldn't be Sonic 1 if it didn't have 16-bit graphics, and everybody's happy.

Yuck Sonic should have died by now...If I wanna play sonic I will whip out my Genesis or Dreamcast. If I want to play Sonic on a modern console.... Well I don't actually. Come on Sega find something original I know you can.

 

[XDel]

I guess if I were going to revive an old Sonic game, I'd have to go with Sonic CD. Still my favorite of the old 2D adventures...

...but still, where the heck is my Monster World sequel damn it?!?!?! :/

I tried sonic 4 on my tablet ages ago and it sucked so hard, the controls were absolutely terrible; sonic fucking sux without some kind of joystick/real d-pad! To that end I will be passing on this.

 

[weavile001]

the newer sonic games are like pinballs
you have to make strategies on the older ones, not just push the analog/pad to the right and win.

Sonic CD DID get revived, 2 years ago. It was re released on XBLA, PSN, PC, IOS, Andoid. It was an amazing port.

Sonic CD was on 360?? I knew it was on smartphones, I didn't know it came to consoles, though.

Yup. In fact, it was on discount sale on the XBLA store a little while ago.

 

[Jayro]

Buy ALL the Sonic games!

"Buy"? You mean "pirate". :3

for how much? It's already pretty damn cheap (400 ms points equaling $4.99). I grabbed it as soon as I saw your post.

And damn, this is a really fine port. Totally remastered and looking gorgeous on my HDTV. Every port/emulated classic should look like this!
