Sonic the Hedgehog Remake announced - 60fps goodness using the retro engine

[Vector2013]

Well documented by who?

People who worked with Sega. Interviews with them reflecting on things. Magazines. See 32 x section, it has interviews discussing past, business decisions etc. Yeah google helps too. Youtube breakdowns. Talking with other people, who probably have similar connections like you over the years.

Arm chair analysts like yourself?

Ha ha. Not everybody is in the know as much as you or has the same connections. I been following Sega since 1989, I don't know as much as others (like you), but I know some stuff. Like why play this high horse crap ? If I'm being respectful to you, be respectful back at least.

Edit :

At least I ask questions, and do my best to look into stuff as a "Arm chair analyst" to find out things because there are people who don't even do that.

It should be pretty evident by now that I speak to people within the company both past and present.

Yes it is. And that is cool and all, but not everybody is you, so seemingly looking down on people (which it seems you did to me twice for some unknown reason assuming things even though you know nothing about me really) or at least making false assumptions on them or suggest they say things they didn't or talk down to them because they don't know as much as you about certain things or know people within Sega like you do, isn't cool either. There could be people who know more than you here or who have better connections. (Not me).

Maybe more people would post here if they felt they could ask things without being treated like they don't know anything or get accused of not knowing what they are talking about even though they end the sentence in a question mark. I'm mentioning this, because I saw your posts to others recently. I personally find it funny that you know nothing about me, but make assumptions that are incorrect (like why even do that but whatever), but I saw how you irk others too. Some deserved it, but some didn't.

This is a subject I'm pretty familiar with.

Fair enough. If I have a question with stuff I know you know about, I'll ask. But if I'm asking questions respectfully, I'd like respectable answers, which you have done in past to me but also been kind of rude too. I don't know everything and either does anyone else. But you don't have to know people within Sega to know their problems in past from management down and what exactly doomed them, as it's been infamous for over a decade now.

I was doing some arm chair research for something else when some of these popped up, figured I'd post some of them if anyone didn't see these before or was just interested in Saturn, 32 X or PC Sonic preview info from then or just wanted to archive them before links die or read articles.

This smells like download only. I'll pass.

There goes my data plan for the month.

Naka pulling the NiGHTS engine created a domino effect that doomed the company. It's well documented.

I don't think it doomed the company, but it may have been the last nail in the coffin. Sega wasn't in good shape by this time anyway, and I don't think a Saturn Sonic title would have done much more than prolong the inevitable.

SEGA/CSK was a civil war mess. And hiring Bernie Stolar only exasperated their horrible management problems.

All Sonic 3D Blast for Saturn did was show weakness & desperation. As far as I'm concerned, it was the final nail in the coffin for Sega of America.

I just read the latest news on it,

It isn't a remake. It's a free update to the already shitty iOS version. They're claiming it'll run smoother and they'll add the spin dash from Sonic 2. Big deal.

Another big ass yawn from Sega.

I agree.

[evildragon]

Wait, I have the IOS version on my 4S. It already plays at 60fps, and is just an emulator, so I'm confused.

It is a remake, but it will replace the emulated iWhatever version. It's getting the same treatment that Sonic CD did a couple years ago (widescreen, time attack, extra features, etc.).

Fuck you Sega

I want an HD Remake of Sonic 2 on the PS3/360

[NeoVamp]

You know what would be sweet? if they released optional HD art packs for these RetroSonic remakes,
then it just replaces the art with HD remade art.

[Thunderblaze16]

You know what would be even better? Giving another bloody game the spot light like Ristar or Pulseman for once.

This is what Sonic Jam should've been. Well it wouldn't have been in HD but it would've been so great to see all of those games reworked for the Saturn.
