Eye candy never hurts, "good as is" or not. Street fighter was good as is and SF2 HD is sweet.
Plus like I said, if they do Sonic 4 right, it coult show that they can still make a decent sonic game.
Difference is, SSF2T HD was marketed on the premise of it ALSO being a rebalanced version of the game. For all sakes and purposes, it was a "new" game (or indeed, as much is as necessary when considering it as yet another SF2 update.
). If such were otherwise, I wouldn't have seen the game doing but so well, because most would have been just like "Why couldn't you just do a new game, instead of redrawing a classic that didn't need it?!"
That sort of thing is appreciated for a game that has a heavy "versus/competitive" edge for it.
What would be the reason for making the older Sonic games "HD", in any sort of way? Just to pretty up the same games that we've had the opportunity to play for years now, especially if we count all the various ports for practically every major console released in the last few years, with YET ANOTHER on the way (DS Sonic Collection)?
No thanks, on this end. Save that time and money on trying to make sure that there are quality Sonic games to be made in the future. They already have an uphill battle with just Sonic 4, alone...
