Sega has softly announced that it is working on fixes for the buggy Sonic the Hedgehog collection, Sonic Origins. In a Tweet posted yesterday, Sonic's social media manager reassured fans that some fixes would be coming. "The team's been listening and is working on fixing a variety of issues right now," the Tweet reads. As of now, it seems that the fixes may be a ways off, as she also writes "we'll make sure to get some more official messaging out once we have more info for everyone."

This follows comments made by Sonic Origins developer Stealth shortly after the game's release, saying he was "very unhappy" with the release. According to Stealth, he and Headcannon were responsible for some of the bugs in the game, but also insists many were introduced by Sega themselves, saying that Origins is not "what [they] turned in."

These bugs have proven controversial among the Sonic community. As reported by TheGamer, a modder working on a project called BetterOrigins abruptly canceled the project, announcing "After really digging into the files for this game, it's become way clearer that this game is absolute shit." Our own Sonic superfan wrote "there's so much wrong that it makes it incredibly hard to recommend Sonic Origins, while still loving it so much" in the official GBAtemp review.

"After really digging into the files for this game, it's become way clearer that this game is absolute shit."

As a modder of Sonic CD 2011, which is arguably the most annoying of the RSDK based sonic games to mod, I can confirm.
Sonic Origins is absolutely shit.

[WiiMiiSwitch]

Hmm, okay. Now the waiting game begins... for a sale I mean.

Never buy a SEGA game early on because they always go on sale

I hate how Sega basically forced them to push out a game that the devs were clearly not done making.

It's sad that they took this long to release any sort of announcement or acknowledgement about the situation. Fans and reviewers have been critical of the game, pointing out issues and having compilation videos of glitches.
I'm hoping the people they get to fix the game are from Headcannon, and that they push forward to make sure things like this don't happen again.

 

[stanleyopar2000]

too late.

 

[The Catboy]

It's a bit too late to start addressing these concerns now.

 

[Glyptofane]

And yet most of the previously available and adequately functional versions are now delisted, leaving only this mess of garbage.

 

[Marc_LFD]

Screw Sega.

Just play the remakes and A.I.R. version instead.

I am thinking about buying Sonic 3D Blast to support Jon Burton as he's been improving it with his Director's Cut.



I didn't grew up playing this, but my God, Green Grove tune sounds so catchy!



Saturn music wasn't bad, it was just different.

 

[NeoGaming]

finally they fix it

 

[The Frenchman]

This game is so stupid. It's incredible that they couldn't make 3 games that were made almost 30 years ago run great on today's systems.

Couldn't even bother to get the classic tracks sorted out and put out something meaningful for the fans. Everyone who purchased this compilation got scammed.

 

[KingVamp]

Finally fixing the "Amy not playable" bug.

 

[ScaryHobbit]

Hmm, okay. Now the waiting game begins... for a sale I mean.

...A sale of the company to Nintendo, that is.

 

[DarkCoffe64]

Ya know, Sega, this wouldn't have happened if you fucking let the devs finish the game, heh

...A sale of the company to Nintendo, that is.

I'd rather keep getting shitty Sonic games but tons of fan-made goodies that have shittendo cancel everything under their draconian and retarded rules

I don't mind paying full price if the product is good. This just isn't worth $40 to me.

 

[Osha]

It's a bit too late to start addressing these concerns now.

It's never too late to fix sloppy releases. Sure, it shouldn't have to happen in the first place, but that doesn't mean the product should stay bad forever if it can be salvaged. I know it's the obvious example here, but No Man's Sky was saved by its countless patches fixing all the glaring problems it had.

Almost everything goes on sale. (Except Factorio.)

And yet, people still get hyped for new releases and buy things on day one and pay for pre-orders and even digital pre-orders while their backlogs grow longer and longer. I don't get it.
