Well time to back out of this thread for now then...

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

ALL I SAID IS THAT I USED TO THINK SHADOW WAS COOL

 

[Zonic]

Not getting my hopes up, but would dig some kind of unlockable if you happen to beat the game w/ all 7 emeralds with all three characters.

Hell, I'd welcome a DLC stage or two, though I guess if they'd rather save it for a sequel, go right ahead.

...or just make it so I can actually play Hidden Palace Zone on a game console, damn it.

 

[Mark1]

The fan art here is creepy. Fuck.

Let's not give GAF another reason to mock Sonic fans with that creepy shit xD

 

[Yukinari]

ALL I SAID IS THAT I USED TO THINK SHADOW WAS COOL

Shadow getting a dumbass reason for coming back in Heroes then his own game is what ruined an otherwise enjoyable character from SA2.

Nobody in Heroes is even shocked he survived or tries to tell him who he is.

 

[MrBadger]

A 2D Shadow who doesn't talk would be much cooler

He exists, he's called Metal Sonic.

I think Shadow's alright but I don't think he has any reason to be in a 2D Sonic

Blame his popularity 😐

 

[ryanofcall]

Awesome OP! Will wait for reviews, but I'm tempted!

 

[Skyfireblaze]

I actually don't have much money to spend at games at the moment nor am I particular nostalgic for 2D Sonic as I sadly never really owned a SEGA console aside from my Dreamcast which I purchased used in 2010 but there is no way I'm not buying this amazing game!

Does anyone know the € Switch price?

 

[Robin64]

Does anyone know the € Switch price?

I think it's €19.99. Here in the UK, the price is showing as £15.99.

 

[Kain-Nosgoth]

are they the same on every console? Does it run well on switch?

 

[Mark1]

You can have a very old PC and Mania would still run perfectly.

Mania runs beautifully on Switch from what I've heard.

 

[Stat Flow]

God is real

 

[RockmanBN]

Ugh. Amazon order isn't going to pull though. Will be delivering the CE a day late.

 

[Hot Coldman]

.

Please don't do this, thank you.

 

[deriks]

Does anyone know that the PS4 version will have pre-load?

My internet sucks and every second matters to play this gem.

 

[jobrro]

Does anyone know that the PS4 version will have pre-load?

My internet sucks and every second matters to play this gem.

I have it preloaded on PS4. It's only around 200mb.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I have it preloaded on PS4. It's only around 200mb.

After downloading stuff like Hitman and Wolfenstein it feels so good to have such a tiny game for once!

 

[Kain-Nosgoth]

is it also supposed to release at midnight everywhere?

 

[Yukinari]

Ugh. Amazon order isn't going to pull though. Will be delivering the CE a day late.

Is this only amazon or other stores too? Havent gotten anything about my order.

 

[IlGialloMondadori]

The only reason I'm hesitant to buy on switch is the lack of a d-pad on the joycons. Portable still feels like the right choice for this game though.

I finished Shovel Knight on the switch using the joycons. They're actually okay.

 

[RockmanBN]

Is this only amazon or other stores too? Havent gotten anything about my order.

Seems to be with orders that have displayed being late and those orders have been like that for months. Representative said that they are getting the items on release day and will be shipping on that day.

 

[PandaPedinte]

Well done OT. I'll be back in two weeks when it releases on PC

 

[Sayad]

Bought! Nice to see an under 10GB game for once this gen.

 

[deriks]

I have it preloaded on PS4. It's only around 200mb.

Thanks. I checked saturday and wasn't downloading. Gonna do again today after my job.

Gotta go fast.

 

[Skyfireblaze]

I think it's €19.99. Here in the UK, the price is showing as £15.99.

Okay so a 25€ top-up should be enough, thanks! OT's should add € prices when applicable

 

[Kain-Nosgoth]

Okay so a 25€ top-up should be enough, thanks! OT's should add € prices when applicable

it's 19,99 euro on switch! You can see the price in the coming soon section

 

[Skyfireblaze]

Oh you are right, I haven't thought of that, thanks!

 

[Stevey]

Nice OT.

I was going to wait it out til the 29th with the PC delay, but i can't.
Gonna have to get it digital on Xbox One, keep my Xbox One CE sealed and replay it in a fortnight on STEAM.

 

[Ferr986]

Man I really can't wait. Been having some rough days but I'm sure this will help me cheer up, if only because it will make me feel like when I was a kid with my Mega Drive and without adult responsabilities again lol

 

[Naked Snake]

The only physical release for this is the Collector's edition?

 

[Jacknapes]

Got it preloaded and ready for midnight. Can't wait, it's been too long since i played a decent Sonic game.

 

[Inferno313]

The only physical release for this is the Collector's edition?

Even that isn't really a physical release... It's a box of stuff with a download code inside, afaik.

 

[Burbeting]

When are reviews out?

I'm tempted to get this, but not sure if I want it on switch or PS4.

 

[shoryukens]

When are reviews out?

I'm tempted to get this, but not sure if I want it on switch or PS4.

In about 3 hours.

 

[AssaTM]

The Xbox store in my region ( UK ) is showing it unlocks at 4pm tomorrow, is this correct? because thats a really funny time to unlock if it is

 

[jon bones]

do we know switch performance? 60 fps locked ?

 

[Solid SOAP]

do we know switch performance? 60 fps locked ?

It'd be deeply concerning if the Switch can't properly run a game a toaster can

 

[LordKano]

do we know switch performance? 60 fps locked ?

They had to lock at 30fps unfortunately, the console isn't powerful enough to render every pixel of Sonic's fur.

 

[Sayad]

do we know switch performance? 60 fps locked ?

No reason for any version to be otherwise.

 

[jobrro]

They had to lock at 30fps unfortunately, the console isn't powerful enough to render every pixel of Sonic's fur.

If only Nintendo had sprung for Blast Processing™.

 

[Rlan]

Get hyped!!!

 

[J@hranimo]

They had to lock at 30fps unfortunately, the console isn't powerful enough to render every pixel of Sonic's fur.

lol no it isn't, it's running at 25-30fps for the Chemical Plant water section slowdown /s

Really guys, I know we've had other pixel art type games running at questionable fps and stuff but this is definitely looking good. No doubts about it.

 

[BrettHeazy]

Wow.

Some compensation for a delay... ;/

Sonic Team members have signed 26 collectors editions boxes that will go on sale randomly in North America. Sonic Team hopes this will go some way to make up for the two week PC delay of the game.

 

[ScientificPizza]

Yeah Shadow was cool in SA2, but his continued existence is Bad

 

[J@hranimo]

Wow.

Some compensation for a delay... ;/

Blame DRM woes and the Steam marketplace.

 

[RRockman]

I'm probably going to play SA2 and Generations till midnight after I get back from work.

Spoiler

And my actual genesis copy of Sonic 2 of course!

 

[Tizoc]

8 hours til it unlocks over hre.
I have a noon shift tomorrow so I'll be playing this from midnight til I beat it X3

 

[The Hermit]

I can't fucking believe it.

 

[Alpha_eX]

60fps or not? Need a solid answer.
