I hope they are all modern versions with more options similar to the mobile versions. Although in the reveal trailer S3&K wasn't widescreen so 3&K is probably emulated. The community manager confirmed on Twitter that 3&K will be in widescreen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh64 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I'm looking forward to this but I can't see much that makes it ultimate other than the HD upgrade and the gross unrelated baby Sonic keychain lol. I will get it anyway though as it's a great game that will be a joy to play again and it's one of the few that I just couldn't get working well on Dolphin a few months ago when I was on my Wiicube replay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Sonic Symphony starts in a few minutes. Edit 1: They barely played anything from S3&K Edit 2: The ending was great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aneres11 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I bought the Deluxe edition of this on my Series X so I could play it over the weekend. I bought this the first time round, but remembered nothing about it other than the fact I wasn't that impressed with it. Well, so far, same kinda feeling. It's funny really as this is the Sonic game most people say is the better one, or one of the best recent ones. I disagree. I've had way more fun with both Forces and Unleashed. The problem with this game, is the Wisps. The levels have absolutely no structure to them what so ever. I'm two worlds in and some wisps aren't even unlocked yet. The ones that are, well they serve no real purpose. The drill wisp, for example, just lets you plummet underground at speed to get elusive red rings, or more coins or whatever. It isn't a necessity to finish the level with it. It's all very tacked on. In Sonic forces, the wisps were better I felt as there was less of them, but they actually served a purpose to further you in a level and it was if the level was built with them in mind. Not all, granted, but a few which made the inclusion fit much better. I will keep going with it as there are some elements of the game that are enjoyable. I think as remakes go, this looks pretty trash. Keep forgetting I'm playing on my Xbox and no on Switch. The cut scenes have had no polish added what so ever and look utter ass. The sound in the game is all over the place. Voice acting is extremely quiet, but level playing and sound effects in game are super loud. So I can't get the balance right at all. All in all, not crazy on it. Which is a shame as I always felt I must have been missing something first time round as I'm such a huge Sonic fan. But I don't think I was... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I’ve got the Switch version preordered, considering if I should switch to a different console or wait to see if it gets a Steam release later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it's a bit of a garbage port... especially on Switch. You're probably best off getting it on another platform, or just sticking with the Wii original. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 It sounds like you can avoid most of those glitches by not switching between levels on different planets as quickly as possible. Or, in some cases, by not using a pirated version in an emulator (which is where some of the footage is from). It seems unlikely that people will encounter most of these while playing normally. Hopefully they can still patch the issue that is causing it. It sounds like some level assets are loaded in the selection menu, and quickly going in, backing out and choosing another interrupts the load, so it only partially loads the stuff for the new area, so might be a simple fix for them if they can make it so you can't change level until it has finished loading properly. I played though the game on a Series S, incredibly fun experience, and only encountered one extremely minor bug. It feels just like Colours, but just a bit nicer. By biggest issue is that the cutscenes aren't upscaled very well. Currently working on finding all of the red rings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinist Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) Never played Sonic Colours when it came out on the Wii so I was kind of looking forward to this remaster. I might take a look after all the bugs have been cleaned out of it. Might get it on Series X to see if thats a better port or not.

Mandalore Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Wasn't the original Wii version relatively well made and glitch free (by 3D Sonic standards)? It's a bit like a previous anniversary when they released that appallingly bad GBA port of Sonic 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcubed Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) Absolutely miserable excuse of a port on all platforms (not even PS4 Pro manages a locked 60FPS and can’t even breech 1440p). They would honestly have gotten better performance & visuals if they had just emulated the original Wii version on Switch. Does kind of remind me of Sonic The Hedgehog Genesis on GBA… Edited September 8, 2021 by Dcubed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aneres11 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I'm struggling with the want to finish this. Think I've done 4 worlds and I'm up to the aquatic one. I am finding it boring. My earlier complaint regarding the wisps not really serving a purpose is still relevant. There's only been a handful of stages that actually need you to use the wisps to progress or to get through a level. Considering the game is so heavily built around them in its story and placement of them in levels, it's stupid. I also think the controls are a step behind Forces, which is so far and away the better game. Despite what reviewers say IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 The wisps are used a lot more when looking for Red Rings, which are really fun to find, and unlock some fun levels in the Game Land section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
