crossposting from nintendo general https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQduLFJ8iRM so i guess this is still a thing. there'll also be an arcade version, plus a mobile version that'll also feature only the sonic characters for some reason (also apparently the reason there wasn't an 2018 winter games one was because ubisoft managed to get the license first lol)
Sonic characters wearing tops. Ew
the shoes are fine, but its odd they changed the shoes on sonic, of all things.

So who is going to create the Sonic thread on Knockout?
I dunno. I might step up again if nobody else does it.

So I was digging through Sonic Adventure 2’s PC port files and I discovered something. The texture load structure is something similar to how Source games loaded in custom content over the default VPK files. Most of the files in resources/gd_PC/PRS can be safely deleted. But what textures are loaded in then? The lowres textures from SA2B on GameCube. Even the button prompts are GameCube. So it turns out Sega actually redrew most of the UI and replaced most skybox textures with higher res versions for the 2012 port. The best part? All the SOAP Shoes ads came back.
Sonic 3: Angel Island Revisited is game-complete. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fwr56XD2hCs You do need a legal ROM from the Sega Classics Collection on Steam, but yeah, only thing that can go with this beyond here is other people messing with it or future patches/bugfixes or the like. And with the in-game achievements system you can unlock the Drop Dash with 7 achievements.
Neat. Sonic 3 & Knuckles is still one of my favorites of the Classic Sonic games. I'm honestly surprised that S3&K is still being sold on Steam, with the whole soundtrack fiasco that prevented it from being released in the console version of SEGA Mega Drive & genesis collection.
A fan-made source port. So widescreen, some optional graphics settings and configuration, a few built-in achievements and unlockables. Basically using a S3&K ROM for data as the program itself does the leg work, like with all those Doom sourceports.
reports of the movie being heavily cringeworthy and unffuny really makes me wonder if Carrey is going to pull a another "over the top" acting thats overly out of place, like he did on a Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events
Really, Eggman tends to have a bit of ham to him nowadays (dare I say "evil ham"?), so it'd probably fit.
I liked his Count Olaf though. Very different from the book to be sure, but surely an evil actor should ham it up on the big screen?
Sonic says "Gotta go fast!" Guaranteed Oscar winner.
This IGN video goes into a bit more detail about the trailer:

I've seen some kid playing SA1 on his tablet today. Can't say I expected to ever see something like this. He became far more interested in watching me play Sonic Mania on my Switch than playing SA1 on his tablet tho 🤔
SA1=Sonic Adventure 1 or Sonic Advance 1?
Sonic Adventure 1.
Why not both? https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/110602/a1c2e356-48d0-4d90-87af-f932d4cf402c/image.png
I've got to admit that it always makes me smile when I see some random kid on the street wearing a sonic tshirt. It reminds me why I always liked sonic more than mario back in the day.
Yep, Adventure.

No Upper-case. https://twitter.com/Justin113D/status/1107257532656037888
If someone fixes all of SA2PC to be the best of both GC and DC I will be eternally grateful.
you know, i used to think that SA2 had aged well for a DC game, but there's way too many issues with the way the models are made that make me question that statement.
Well no, the Dreamcast version did age pretty well, it's just the ports which have made some odd changes. It was Sega's sendoff to a franchise that defined half a console war. SA2 instantly made SA1 look ancient by comparison in so many departments, and whatever you think of the game as a whole it's still held up as quintessential Sonic. The music, the characters, the abilites, the dash pad filled level design, it's all there.
I do agree, but I specifically mentioned the models given there are instances where you can see, for example, Sonic's limbs detached from his body. the game itself has aged greatly and most of the games made by sega from that era still hold up thanks to a curated art direction (case in point, sa1 vs sa2). but certain elements can't be improved with fixes to the shaders and textures, such as the models.
