S.C.G Posted June 10, 2022 Posted June 10, 2022 No original Ice Cap zone music? No sale. If it gets modded back into the PC version? Maybe... (in a sale) but it's still not the same as having it inluded in the game by default. Sega are charging more than £30 for the collection, if they bought the license to all the original music, surely the profits from the game would still outweigh the expenditure? Then, they would probably be able to use the music in any future re-releases of Sonic 3 & Knuckles as well, it would be an investment. But being that they have taken the route that they've chosen now, it's unlikely that they will bother, as the collection will still sell. 1
Dcubed Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 Just found out that Fervor Records officially released Hard Times on vinyl back in 2020… with this album art… They knew what they were doing… 2 1
Blade Posted June 22, 2022 Posted June 22, 2022 Does anyone know if there are any differences in terms of performance and visuals between Switch and PS5 versions? I can’t decide which to buy it for.

Yes, Headcannon worked on this new Sonic 3 port (while Sonic 1 & 2 are ports of the Christian Whitehead mobile remakes). Which makes this all the more shocking. Edited June 23, 2022 by Dcubed

Glen-i Posted June 23, 2022 Posted June 23, 2022 Well now! That's probably the closest we've ever gotten to official confirmation that MJ was involved in the soundtrack. I mean, yeah, everyone knows that already, but... He definitely let something slip there! That tweet's gonna be deleted soon.

Dcubed Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 Well worth reading the whole thread. Sounds like SEGA/Sonic Team screwed up Stealth/Headcannon’s code when they integrated everything together into the final package and didn’t give them a chance to fix anything… 2
Cube Posted June 24, 2022 Author Posted June 24, 2022 Started playing last night, half way through Sonic 2. It feels great to play, and the cutscenes are really nice. Only main issue so far is that Sonic CD was never a good game. 1

I think it was one of those titles that gained a reputation purely because so few people had played it back in the day. The few that had played it hyped it up to no end. I was very disappointed by it when I eventually got to play it.

I was very disappointed by it when I eventually got to play it. It was also smack bang in the middle of the SNES Vs Mega Drive console war. Anything to do with Sonic was hyped up to the extreme because, well, it was the Mario competition. I keep having to remind myself that Sonic 3 & Knuckles came out after CD. The first time I was aware of it was when I saw the animated intro on Sonic Mega Collection, and you're right, there was a certain mystique about this hard to find Sonic entry that developed. But then when I finally got a chance to play it? Bleurgh! The level design looks like someone just threw things in there with no rhyme or reason. And trying to get a good ending is far too difficult with the whole past and future gates being frustrating to use. Which becomes a kick in the face, because making a good future is pointless when collecting all the Time Stones is what you need to do to get the best ending. The good future nonsense is a waste of time. It's just a big mess. Edited June 24, 2022 by Glen-i 1 1

Ike Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 Marble Garden is borked. You can't control the blue spinning top things. The animation of the debris falling from the drilling robots doesn't stop either.

Cube Posted June 25, 2022 Author Posted June 25, 2022 Finished the sorry mode, cutscenes are awesome and it was an absolute joy to play. I did have one issue where I fell out of a bonus stage and had to quit and continue - although what was nice about that was that it actually saved the rings I had at the checkpoint instead of being a normal respawn.
