So I just noticed something...

Happy belated b-day, RMZX Anarchy and everyone else that I missed.

You didn't miss it. You were two months too early. Unless by belated you were reffering to my birthday from last year, but I doubt that

Why did people think my birthday was in spring?

Okay, just got done playing Sonic Robo Blast 2 for a LONG while.

(click to show/hide)

My [tornado fang]ing god, the game used to be good, its a good game up until the Egg Rock Zone (By that I mean its got a decent challenge and is fun, Egg Rock is the final stage and for some reason that gives them the excuse to ramp up the difficulty way higher than it had been.). For some reason Egg Rock is the biggest pile of [parasitic bomb] in the entire game, Camera Snagging, Fucktarded Jumping Physics all-around, ZERO GRAVITY AREAS WITH OXYGEN SPOTS THAT ARE TINY AND HARD AS [parasitic bomb] TO ACCESS BECAUSE OF RETARD MOMENTUM, god forbid you're playing as anybody but Tails. Knuckles has it the worst though, when he climbs a wall and jumps off, the camera goes a complete 180, this wouldn't be so bad if you weren't experiencing reverse gravity with a bottomless pit above you, electrified walls with safe spots that are conveyor belt walls that are faster than you are at moving to prevent you from getting to safety that push you towards said electrified walls AND HAPPENS TO BE A [tornado fang]ing CONFUSING AS HELL MAZE THANKS TO THE ABOVE MENTION CAMERA SHIFTS. The controls are way too [tornado fang]ing sensitive at times, you tap a button to gently move yourself in a direction and you go flying. When you're in the middle of a jump and want to stop you need to hold the opposite direction, which is almost impossible since you gain momentum during jumping (Which shouldn't be happening, its not good.) and getting yourself to stop makes the game way harder than it should be. The difficulty.... its a mixture of retro difficulty, false difficulty, and "We just don't [tornado fang]ing care, I hate you and you deserve to feel my hate" difficulty, it USED to have difficulty settings, but those were taken out along with the ability to save at any level (Real [tornado fang]ing nice.) "Are you trying to say Sonic 2K6 is a better game than this?" YES I [tornado fang]ing AM, AT LEAST SEGA HAD THE CIVILITY TO NOT MAKE INANE MAZES AND RETARDED CAMERAS WITH KNUCKLES YOU GODDAMN HACKS.

You know, it's pretty sad when we're having these same 30-vs-60 discussions when Sonic Adventure 2 did a steady 60fps on the Dreamcast so long ago (and was for the most part better-looking than either Heroes or Shadow, to boot). 

I don't think it's terribly detrimental in terms of gameplay, but for a decent high-speed experience (Sonic, F-Zero), 60fps definitely goes a long way.  Certainly further than rendering some extra leaves in the background.

But all people care about nowadays are graphics.

Sure, those are nice, but is it worth sacrificing gameplay?

If there is a PC version surely it will be the best graphics wise (Which might also mean best Framerate wise.), worst controls wise.

This game utilitzes the Hedgehog Engine, which as an aside I'd like to state is just a rather powerful global lighting engine, not a physics engine. That one's done by Havok (or PhysX on the Wii.) The only other game that used it was Sonic Unleashed. Problem is with all the detail Sega puts in surrounding environments, on levels, on objects, on things exploding everywhere as you zoom right by them, it gets to be somewhat taxing on the system.

For that reason, the Xbox 360 version had a limiter on its framerate. The game was capped to run at 30FPS, and you'll notice on some of the more intense moments that the framerate still drops (especially in places like Adabat, the Southeast Asia stage.)

The PlayStation 3 version, for whatever reason, doesn't have this limiter on. The game runs at 60FPS, but jumps around at times to 45, sometimes to 30, and infrequently to levels lower than that during more infrequent scenes.

Sonic 2006 runs at 60FPS (usually), but it also doesn't have as much going on and doesn't have to load global lighting effects from the Hedgehog Engine.

As for Sonic Colors, that one I'm not sure about. We know the Wii is quite capable of handling 60FPS without much of a problem, but perhaps Sega put it in as a precaution? It doesn't use the Hedgehog Engine (as they claim the Wii isn't strong enough for it) so I can't really think as to the reason so much as a few levels have a lot going on that 60 to 45 dips would be occasional.

There are some places in the PS3 version where it tends to run better than the 360 version (Adabat is considerably better in places) while in most cases its worse (Empire City, Eggmanland, almost ALL Werehog segments, etc.)

And when I was playing the PS3 Demo I never noticed any loss of framerate, just a steady 30fps.

You can't miss games for the Wii.

Technically you can't get Metroid Prime Trilogy, Super Mario All-Stars, Sonic Unleashed or Sonic and the Black Knight anymore, but you can find those secondhand anyway.

Prop Hunt is like a modified Hide and Seek, a Team of Pyros (And occasional Heavies) seek out a team of Scouts disguised as various props (In order to blend in). The Pyros and Heavies lose health when they attack (Except for Taunt Attacks) in order to prevent bulletspam or flamethrower spam. When there is only one Scout left they are given a Scattergun and have the choice of either fighting off the remaining Pyros or continue hiding.

Its very fun.

Hitman: Blood Money

I get the feeling I'll ragequit out of the insane guilt I always get playing these kind of games. Only did the tutorial level and I already feel like [parasitic bomb].

Also of course been playing inFAMOUS. This one I know for sure I'll play all the way through since I can actually be a good person. Though in turn that just makes accidental killing all the more horrendous for me.

Shut up I know they're just games ;_;

Don't worry bout killing people on accident in inFAMOUS, most of the time you can heal people.

And besides, once you do a good run its much easier to do an evil run, since people are dickheads to you anyway right at the start.

Then again I have no soul when it comes to video game cruelty, especially the second time around in a game.

Actually, every impression I've read says that that one is even worse >.>

Anyways, it took forever to download but I finally played it. It was ok, but jumping felt off to me for some reason, dunno if I'm the only one.

Jumping felt a little short IMO.

Sega needs to learn how to program for the PS3 better, the 360/PS3 games always suffer in framerate and loading it seems on the PS3 ports.

You have to admit though, Crisis City is one of the more Iconic stages in 06. One of the ones most featured anyway. Kingdom Valley was nice, but at the same time, frustrating. Radical Train was cool, but forgettable. White Acropolis on the other hand, was pretty good I guess, but I dont know how they could handle it for Modern Sonic. Crisis City on the other hand, was a bit more fast paced. (Especially since it has that auto running segment) What would have been a  nice alternative to Rooftop Run could have been Empire City. But I liked Rooftop run, so heres hoping it is as nice as in Unleashed. Seaside Hill was also one of my favorite Heroes Stages, so im not to upset there. In fact, Im glad they brought in the menu theme. Also, if those icons can be believed, Supersonic is indeed playable in-game again

Now lets hope they dont [tornado fang] up the method of getting him like they did in Colors.

BTW, whats that item with the Motobug on it you figure? Invincibility maybe?

(click to show/hide)

I was saying that since from what I've heard Radical Train was considered one of the worst stages in the game (Which would go to Crisis City for being absolutely fucktarded sometimes (Mediocre Boarding, Floaty Platform Tornado with awful Homing Attack Recognition AND Mach Speed? [tornado fang] THAT.) and Dusty Desert for the Sand=Water dealio.)
Hell, they should've gone with Flame Core, that level was pretty cool design wise, I just said White Acropolis because of the Kickass Music.

too many city stages indeed. City escape, Speed Highway, Crisis City, AND Rooftop Run? thats a bit.

However, we have Sky Sanctuary and Death Egg, so Im happy.

I dont recognize Time Eater though. Might be the final stage. (unless its from a game I dont know about?)

Still sort of bummed that theres no Stardust Speedway though. A Sonic game involving time travel and different stages from previous Sonic Games- but No CD stages? From the Sonic Game that first introduced time travel to the series? Really?

But we get a metal Sonic Boss, so thats good.


Actually, Im wondering. How will boss battles work? Will each character get to fight the boss in different ways? Or will each sonic get different bosses?

(click to show/hide)

From what Sonic Retro is saying, Time Eater might very well be the "Big Beastie that isn't Robotnik/Eggman Final Boss"
City Escape is cool with me.
I like Speed Highway but I would've chose Windy Valley.
Crisis City was the worst stage in 06 (I honestly thought Radical Train was better), way too [tornado fang]ing long and had the most unpredictable Mach Speed, they should've gone with Kingdom Valley or White Acropolis.
Rooftop Run isn't even that good, they should've chose Crimson Carnival (Eggmanland) just because that stage is badass looking.

Maybe Sega is just lazy. City Stages are easier to design (Lots of rectangles and straight stuff.)

EDIT: Listening to the ripped music from the Demo, Modern Green Hill sounds nice. The Menu theme is just as good as its Sonic Heroes rendition, the Level Clear is *finally* the Sonic 3 jingle again, Drowning is the same as Colors, the 1-Up is the Secret Unlocked from SA2, they must've stole the idea from Megamix on that one.
