Topic: Sonic Classic Collection

[HyperSonicEXE]

Yeah, and that screen crunching causes some rather large salt-and-pepper glitches in the video.

Honestly, I'm hoping there's a better collection for the DS2 or PSP2.

[Rad Lionheart]

Sounds like it sucks! I'll have to give it a try myself then.

[HyperSonicEXE]

In absolute terms, yes, it does suck.

But for me, hell I just want some portable 1P Classic Sonic (specifically S3&K), so I'm satisfied. And again, the lag occurs when there are numerous items on screen. Zones like Marble (1), Chemical Plant (2), and Hill Top (2) will be a-okay, whereas the heavier parts of Star Light (1), Casino Night (2), and Death Egg (K) will see their share of lag.

BTW, Sonic 1's not as hard to complete as I thought. I only had to retry Emerald 5 once.
And getting there was easier than I had remembered; a number of acts have 2 or 3 10-Ring Monitors near the end in hidden areas (lookin' at you, Star Light).

Fix'd for my specifications.

All I know is that same leaked Sega document from last year that talked about Vanquish (P*'s Mikami game, PS3/360), also talked about a "Sonic Blu-Ray Collection". If they were literally able to cram EVERY old Sonic game on there, with perfect emulation, that would effectively be the last Sonic-related thing I'd have to buy. Doubly so, if it included both Original and American OSTs of Sonic CD.

Jackpot!

At any rate, something other than Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection?

I like the Sonic Blue/Blu-Ray gimmick, though.

Sad part is, the an unofficial emulator running on the PSP has better results. Only drawback is you have to choose between proper water transparency or a slight reduction in framerate.

Also, Knuckles in Sonic 1.

I would have rather they give us a choice(I'd choose screen crop).
I like what RIN(GBC for PSP) lets you do. You can have a small section of the bottom or top compressed. works nicely with Zelda.

Also, Knuckles in Sonic 1.

Speaking of which, why haven't we gotten this outside of Sonic Jam?

[Police Girl]

We never got that in Sonic Jam, it was a hack. What we got in Sonic Jam was Blue Sphere. From what I remember, the Sonic 1 engine had problems with Knuckles so they had to can the whole idea.

[Satoryu]

Jam only had Sonic 1 with spin dash. No Knuckles, no Tails, none of that.

[HyperSonicEXE]

Oh right, that ~was~ a hack. My bad.

They were going to do it, but Knuckles' jump height kept it from being green-lighted.

[xnamkcor]

Was it so hard to make him jump higher?

[Satoryu]

I thought it was an issue with the colors in Knuckles' sprite. Either that or gliding on conveyer belts woulda screwed something up, which doesn't make sense to me.

I think that was the issue, and some guys made it so you could use Knuckles in Sonic 1 without any screw-ups of the sort. They only hire total geniuses at Sega it seems.  [/sarcasm]

[HyperSonicEXE]

I mean wouldn't color be as easy as making Knuckles' reds the same color as Sonic's shoes? If you wanted to take the really lazy way out?

[Bag of Magic Food]

I guess it must be better to have no game at all than to have a game with a slightly inaccurate color!

Eh, I got all three emulaited on the PC thanks to Genesis emulation AND the Sonic and Knuckles collection (I still have it, lol), so I don't have to go worry about spending $50+ at a local Kmart for a port gallery.
