Please stop being mean to Sonic Origins.

I get what he's trying to say, but Ian, those cool animations are pretty much strapped to a collection of games that should have been easy to port/remake/whatever, and Sega still fumbled the ball.
Also, no playable Amy.

OP either made this tweet up or he already deleted it after realizing how stupid it was.

Quick rundown? How did Sega fuck up the ports this time?

A thousand small problems.
>game is not integer scaled, so pixels are stretched and blurry
>music mixing is entirely fucked up and some songs are muffled
>new bugs in every game, including save file deletion mid-game
>New versions of Prototype S3K songs are WORSE than originals.
>Promised extras are disappointing.
And much more.
Christopher Nelson
The animations aren't bad, but they're pretty bland and generic.
Still, Sonic's design in them is much better than Mania.
While Mania Sonic was a nice design, I never liked how straight his spines were in some shots or that weird little fourth spine.

I saw the option to disable the Spin Dash in 1's level select menu though

>fucked if you went straight to story
you know you could just enter the anniversary mode main menu and change it, right? you can go back to story mode and the OST you picked will stay
Christopher Long
That's another issue to be added though, options being stuck to level select is dumb.
The extra S3 shield options in 1/2 (which was an amazing feature of the mobile ports) are hidden away there too.
Aaron Kelly
That only means Sega overlooked it when porting the game from mobile. The option shoudn't -be- part of a hidden cheat code.
Again still something that should be more obvious instead of tucked away. Whoever designed the menus from the original remasters made them worse, like limiting visible settings was a goal.
Ayden Russell
No, it's not good and I don't want to support it. Why would I be nice to devs who can't even port a 30 year old sonic game properly?
Oliver Mitchell
Fair enough I suppose. I just don't think that makes it bad or flawed, it just could be better. That's basically the whole collection for me, it's good but it could be better, especially if they just made the menus themselves and handed the porting job for all the games to Headcannon
Henry Cooper
Why can't SEGA make good Sonic games anymore?
Charles Foster
Oh hey it's becoming a pasta (with mild tweaks), nice.
>Game takes control away from you_and sends you to center screen_for some boss entry animations.
Well as someone mentioned in the original thread, the Marble Garden Act 2 boss (and to a lesser extent Knuckles' Mecha Sonic) doesn't exactly work like that - instead, the game freezes you wben Eggman's drill hits the ground, so if you're in the middle of getting hits in like all the cool kids did back in the day, you'll be cheaply done in. Supposedly this is to stop the player from cheesing the actual fight too much, but the point was raised that it was most likely intentional in the first places since the devs were probably aware of how different the gameplay is from other bosses.
All this time and I still can't believe the Mario Wiki is the only one that took responsibility for citogenesis.
Alexander Torres
What a bullshit thought. Everyone likes Origins animation videos, but hey could have been YouTube shorts or whatever. No reason to buy a lazy product just for them.
Jordan Hughes
you guys know these games came out like 30 years ago and those versions are still perfectly playable
why do people keep letting companies re-release shit
Sebastian Wood
they talk like pokémon shills

>NOOOO DONT BE MEAN TO THE HECKIN PUBLISHERS!!!! THE GAMES THEY DEVELOP AND PUBLISH ARE GIFTS TO THE GAMERS AND YOU SHOULD BE THANKFUL FOR THAT, EVEN IF THE PRODUCT IS BUGGY AS SHIT
What the fuck is wrong with zoomers
Aiden Green
To be fair, the versions featured in Sonic Origins were supposed to be the definitive versions of the classic trilogy that were previously stuck on the iOS. So there was SOME reason to buy this collection, but SEGA fucked it because that's just what they do.
Jeremiah Rivera
Why do writers and journos literally fucking live on twitter? They are the biggest cancer in society today. Talentless and worthless.

Ian is probably in his 30's and 40's judging from his profile pic.
