"Aside from the ability to play as Tails or Knuckles, the game also supports 60FPS playback and there’s a remastered soundtrack in there as well."
great port , Chris Whitehead did a great job.
oh
..thats nice
i dont have an adrodi device though and i dont plan to buy a ouya for it
sega re release this on psn maybe ?
no ?
damn
Nice, although the original Sonic also runs at 60fps. Is there a sample of the remastered songs?
im also a bit tired of seeing the umpteenth re re re re re re re re rerelease or remake of sonic 1
this is nr 16 already
its not as bad as some games but its up there and getting a bit silly
cant complain about the price though
Props to them, I'm impressed, especially referencing the japanese artwork on the store.
I've been playing it on my PC, great port.
Everytime I choose a character, the game exits. A pity since it looks great...
By 60fps, they mean that the game runs incredibly smoothly, special stages don't 'jitter' or anything at 45 degree angles, smooth 360 degree rotation.Quote:

This is not just Sonic 1 remade with widescreen, this has a ton of rom hack-like options you can turn on and off. They really let you play with the engine. You can turn on and off incredibly minute aspects of the engine to make the game behave more like Sonic CD or Sonic 3 -- the kind of stuff average players won't notice. You can also play a remixed mode that adds in the Sonic 3 elemental shields and adds a 7th emerald (and thus Super Sonic). There are new enemies and new objects and you can play as Tails and Knuckles, or even Sonic with Tails following him.
The rolling ball from the green hill zone beta is also included, as are the UFOs in the marble zone beta. A few of the bosses are a bit different, too, like the Spring Yard Zone boss which has walls come up (to make it so that you have the same number of tiles to stand on as the original). The wrecking ball for the green hill zone boss now rotates and doesn't flicker anymore. The rotating tubes in Scrap Brain Zone and the Special Stages themselves now have true rotation instead of faked 32-step rotation. A ton of changes all around.
There are also beta badniks included, like Splats the Bunny. This makes me optimistic that we're going to see a bunch of stuff from Sonic 2 added back in, because that game has the most lost stuff of any Sonic game. And all of it has been unearthed.
Of course you can turn on and off the spindash, and there are multiple save slots and even a no-save mode. Even the menu is slick, featuring a 3D rendering of the Sonic box that you take a 3D sonic cartridge out of. And you can select the region of the box and cart.
Options all around. That says nothing about the remastered music, which sounds terrific. It doesn't sound different from the original compositions, just much richer. It sounds like what the Genesis was trying to sound like, if that explains it well.
This really is an awesome port. I would love to have a physical copy of this. Shit, I don't even find the touch screen controls to be that cumbersome. I can play the game fine with the touch controls, and I've been whipping this game out on my phone while standing on the bus. The widescreen aspect helps make it so that my hands aren't obscuring the action, and because I have such an enormous phone (A samsung note 2) the experience is a lot more comfortable than that of a small iphone or android phone.
I think the big reason this hasn't been announced for the Xbox or PS3 is because they're waiting to bundle it with Sonic 2. I think they're going to push Sonic 2 hard, because they're going to add a bunch of stuff back in. I hope I'm right.
Such an incredibly neat product, and it's crazy that this is official from Sega! This is one of the best re-releases of a game, period! Terrific port, I can't wait for Sonic 2. It sucks for most people waiting for the inevitable Xbox 360/PS3 releases, but playing this on my tablet connected to my TV with a dual shock 3 is pretty awesome. I hope Sonic 2 includes Hidden Palace Zone.
thats all very nice and all but what if you dont have android ?
is it on ios then ?
hopefully because if notQuote:

Ouya comes with a controller and there are cheaper android alternatives - you can get an android device that can play this for under $50. But yes, this is on ios too.
Looks pretty good.
