Sonic generations is a good game~

I paid $18 for this game on the Xbox 360 and I still think it's a bit overpriced. First of all, there's a small delay between pressing the jump button and actually jumping. The main game was kind of fun, but I have to waste my time doing stupid "challenges" in stages I've already been through in order to fight a boss. I haven't even seen a boss yet! I've done a ton of different challenges and still only have one key. LAME!

Sonic is simply destined to suck forever. People keep saying "Oh this NEW SONIC GAME is actually good!" And people keep being completely wrong and full of horseshit.

If you use them to play the MD games，is right

However, if you use them to play DOS games, I think it is wrong

SEGA's proprietary computer is SC-3000 & SC-3000H，they are sacred

But, I think that the PC does not belong to any one company，Microsoft is just a system supplier，PC is NOT Microsoft's platform！

So, playing SEGA'S PC games，does not insult SEGA

Well, Android, IOS, JAVA ....could I play them？

Announced the name of SEGA GOD：

Everyone will adore you，even Obama, HuJinTao and Putin also must respect you

That's right, that was why I put the game down. Even on my upgraded PC there was still controller lag. Jumping through hoops to get to a boss sounds extremely lame!

The game is far from being terrible, also are you using an ATI card?I'm going to reinstall it and check it out myself.

Yes, the last time I tested it was with an HD 4850 1GB and an Athlon X2 6400+.

I heard there might have been an issue with ATI cards, I'm going to check in a minute.I'm running on Intel and Nvidia though.

The game is just CPU intensive and doesn't use the GPU enough from what I have read. It ought to run better on Intel as well. I'm not getting any frame delays on the Dual Core system, I'm talking about controller lag. Sonic doesn't jump the exact instant you hit the button like he did in the 16-bit games. Part of that is the nature of LCD HDTVs, the other part is probably the wireless controller. I need to hook up my Saturn pad and see how it goes in Game Mode. It isn't unplayable either, I just noticed the lag and that means that the game is taking it easier on me than the 16-bit games did.

I think I know where you coming from, I haven't noticed anything, but I'm going keep playing.What kind of FPS are you getting?

With the X2 6400+ I was getting a pretty consistent 60FPS, with the usual but occasional dips and hiccups I have always had a problem with in PC games. My current setup is an Octal core 3.6Ghz with an HD 7850 2GB, I haven't reinstalled yet to test it there.

I've always wanted to check that game out. I hear good things.

Try running D3DOverrider, that adds triple buffering to games.I'm going to test it some more in a bit, it seems you're not the only one though based on the steam forums.

That is a new one to me, thanks for the info. I just loaded it up on my eight core system and it seems like it runs without lag now. 1920x1080x60Hz too, that's a lot better than before. I'll play it me more tomorrow hopefully to see if the speed makes it through entire levels or not.
