I watched some leaked cutscenes on YouTube, and I have to say I can't stop smiling whenever the modern and classic Sonic/Tails interact with each other. They sure got the nostalgia down pat, It would be a crime not to buy this game.

and if only this was actually in there...

Got to listen to the leaked music for the game. HOLY FREAKING REMIX CONTINUITY PORN BATMAN!!! Every song caused candy to explode out of my brain!

My favourite remix must be a tie-breaker between "For True Story/Live and Learn" and "Crisis City" Both remixes (DAT GUITAR!).
[spoiler]DOMINUS... TEMPUS[/spoiler]

Yeah, the soundtrack is [tornado fang]ing awesome.

Here you can get an incomplete yet, rip of the soundtrack.
Also... DAT FINAL BOSS TRACK! I CAN'T STOP LISTENING! WHY?!

Overall, the 2 Crisis City's and new Big Arm are pretty much the creme de la crop.

For True Story was total [parasitic bomb] though. The 2 songs were mixed horribly, and not to mention they don't even go well together. They should have just used either one of them alone, or Supporting me, Throw it all way, or BGM from their 1st fight.

I just want to say, that Super Sonic theme is the biggest damn tease that Sega could have possibly came up with.

*Open Your Heart Live And Learn SFX...nah, nevermind, here's STH4*

Liara T'Soni: It is a luxury resort with an... exotic edge.  Azure is slang for a part of the asari body in some places on Illium.
Shepard: Where?
Liara: The lower reaches, near the bottom.
Shepard: I meant, "where on the asari body?"
Liara: So did I.

WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT SO LONG FOR MY PC VERSION?!
WHY U DO DIS SEGA?!

In any case... I'm so [tornado fang]ing hyped for this, it's not even funny.
I just hope the PC port isn't butchered in any way.

Sega bumped the Steam PC release from November 4th (this Friday), to November 3rd. So basically, we get to play tomorrow.  8)

So (in the US), the game is playable on Steam now. So i've played a bit, got up to the Dreamcast era before taking a dinner break. [spoiler]Death Egg Robot took me two minutes to beat, mostly because I kept accidentally jumping into the bombs or getting hit by the hands at the same time they hit the bombs - it cancels out the stun on the boss. Also, [tornado fang] YOU SKY SANCTUARY RING TIME CHALLENGE. Always get hit and lose my rings on the last enemy because the ability's timer chooses to run out right [tornado fang]ing there.[/spoiler]

Had few performance problems. Framerate stutters during the heavier moments, and when I do things like breaking the rocks into a bunch of pieces. Occasionally the entire game froze for a couple seconds before resuming right there, it happened only two or three times so far but that's probably because my rig definitely isn't the best. The game is pretty damn impressive to me, although I really suck at the Modern Sonic controls.

I CAN't [tornado fang]ing BUY IT ON STEAM BECAUSE NO CREDIT CARD!
[tornado fang] THIS GAY EARTH!
I HAVE TO GET IT THE LEFT WAY, UNTIL IT COMES OUT HERE ON PC BOXED!

I just hope it does, if not, I'm importing this [parasitic bomb].
Also, no demo makes me even more sad AND mad.

Huh. At least your manual actually has something though. Mine's only 4 pages not counting the French version. Just brief info on set up, controls and warranty.

Edit: If that even is a manual. I can't tell for sure.

Oh, I saw it. And I did not like it.

I guess all I can really say is it isn't exactly what I'd expect out of a $4.4M game

It doesn't even have mouth animations

Considering the reference of Cream being at Speed Highway specifically because of her cameo in Sonic Adventure DX and her debut in Sonic Advance 2 right around the same time, either the people writing that were lazy or intentionally got it wrong for old times sake.  8D

I've beaten the game. [spoiler]S-Ranked the Time Eater somehow. It's probably the worst final boss fight in a Sonic game i've played - while the intent is simple, boosting into its core to deal damage with the Super Sonics, the controls for movement in this fight are atrociously floaty. The game also makes /no/ effort to note that pressing the Jump button sends the other Sonic to destroy obstacles infront of you, and it gets awkward that using the Special (Y for Xbox) button switches between 3D and 2D. I even got an instance of both of my Sonics facing backwards in the 2D while still moving forwards, somehow.[/spoiler]

Classic Sonic could've used a little more polishing, as he just feels weird with his limited Jump and Spin Dash in comparison to Modern Sonic's Homing Attacks and Boosts. And Stomps. And Wall Jumps and Drifting. I know they put effort into Classic's gameplay, but I preferred Modern mostly because it was so refined via Colors and because the level design just seemed better for Modern Sonic than Classic Sonic, [spoiler]especially in goddamn [tornado fang]ing asshatting Crisis City and Planet Wisp - screw you, Spike Wisp[/spoiler]. Also doesn't help that while both Sonics have an equal number of levels and challenges, Modern Sonic gets two of the three Rival fights and two of the three Boss fights aside from the Final.

In any case, the game is still amazing and I feel incentive to complete all the challenges and find the Red Star Rings - something I can't say about most other games nowadays.

Dude, beating the final boss without taking damage sucks ass. That achievement is probably the hardest in the game.

Aside from that, and the final boss as a whole, the game is a lot of fun.


What happens in Vegas stays on Youtube. I also stream on Twitch from time to time.

I have to run the pc version in 800x600 even with everything else set to low. Otherwise I won't get a constant 60 fps, and more than that, the cutscenes, whenever Time Eater appears LAG LIKE [parasitic bomb]!
WHAT
THE
[tornado fang]?!

My pc can run shitload of games (including the capcom ones) without a problem, even when I'll bump up details and resolution, but this... even though I meet the minimum more than enough, I did not expect that I'll have such problems on 1280x1024! WHICH IS THE BEST RES MY CURRENT SHITTY MONITOR SUPPORTS!
Everybody says this game is optimized well, but I call [tornado fang]ing bullshit. No way in hell this [parasitic bomb] is well optimized.
Also, I hear certain people have problems with running the game at all, even though they meet the [tornado fang]ing recommended.

Other than that, this game is enjoyable... but I also have a problem with it from a certain gameplay standpoint.
WHY DOES THE CLASSIC SONIC FEEL SO SLUGGISH?! I often miss a jump because of it. Modern moves much better, but then I can sometimes boost to reach my goal when I jump, so...
AND WHY SO MANY [tornado fang]ing PITS AND SPIKES?! Crisis City on Modern, for one, went awfully easy. But on classic... I still can't [tornado fang]ing beat it. Because I either miss my jump or some [parasitic bomb].
[spoiler]I got as far as the moment where the fiery tornado steals the signpost.  That [tornado fang]ing wind, coupled with the sluggish controls make me rage.[/spoiler]
