Support NeoGAF

[qq more]

Spoiler

Thats sucks, I liked the song. I guess it uses the beta version (Mystic Cave 2p)?

Spoiler

you are correct lol

 

[JPeeples83]

Got this as soon as it was available for download and sideloaded it onto my OUYA - IT WORKS PERFECTLY...once you click through the "some Google Play services aren't supported on your device" stuff. After that, like Sonic 1, Sonic 4, and Sonic CD, it works perfectly with the OUYA pad immediately. Sadly, there doesn't appear to be a way to get the OSD controls off, but I'm sure that will be fixed later with an update.

I feel the catapults need tuning.

I run right over them with out bouncing, sometimes.

Turn the opacity down to zero.

Highlight Sound Test, 00, tap the play icon 3 times, additional options

I bow to thee based Whitehead.

Oh yeah - I forgot about that. It worked great in past Sonic Android ports, but I was looking in the wrong section for this game.

Whoa, what. Sonic 3 shields? Hold me, GAF.

 

[afoni]

I need this so much.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Kinda psyched for this, but mobile only is a bummer. Is there a way to pair my wii u pro controller to my android phone?

 

[JPeeples83]

A Wii remote itself can work as a controller - you can also try to get a Dual Shock 3 to work.

 

[ElFly]

edit: Theres a stream here, they're showing 2p mode. It includes all the stages!

oh my god

 

[Maedhros]

Fuck... it looks great!

Shame... because I'll never play it on a phone.

 

[afoni]

I CAVED

 

[plutoknight]

This port is fantastic. Not that I expected anything less! These achievements though...hahahaha. I don't even know.

I feel like a fail Sonic player after looking at them X.X

 

[Dark Schala]

Woooooo. I don't like that I had to make a G+ account, but I just found that option screen just now too. lol.

Shields would be fun.

 

[Off-Kilter]

Whitehead's involved again? Instant buy.

 

[zweifuss]

HOLY CRAP THIS GAME IS AWESOME!!! I had no idea there were so many levels of parallax in the HILL TOP zone, so beautiful in widescreen. We are not worthy of this game!

 

[Xav]

I gave the game a try earlier today since I previously owned Sonic 2 iOS and it's another fantastic port from the Taxman himself. Sadly the controls are shit and I keep rolling into a ball by mistake, touch screen controls hey?

I don't want to port beg but...

 

[BassForever]

Forgot I owned Sonic 2, still haven't finished sonic 1 ios cause touch controls. Like what I see for this game though

 

[RagnarokX]

Well, Im not sure, thats why I was asking it in my last post, but I saw in Sretro that

Spoiler

you have to fall down the spike pit from Mystic Cave

Based on the clue that Sonic 2 fans would laugh or cry at how it was unlocked that was my first guess, heh.

 

[Hot Coldman]

So there's a weird bug on Aquatic Ruin Zone 2. After beating Robotnik I ran towards the animal machine thing, hit the button, kept on running til I went offscreen and then I got a Game Over (with 2 lives left).

wut

 

[RuneFactoryFanboy]

How are you guys accessing that menu to get at sound test? Do you have to beat the game once or something?

This is fantastic by the way. Everything is nice and sharp, runs full speed and widescreen. Touch screen controls are great and haven't screwed me up once.

 

[Maedhros]

That's not exactly new, it's pretty noticeable in any of the versions... unless I'm missing something here and they added more parallax barriers...

 

[petethepanda]

Holy shit, Hidden Palace! That is so badass.

 

[Alric]

Wonder if for Sonic 3 you'll have to attach another IOS device to play the Sonic and knuckles add-on?

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

When does this go up on the play store? Still nothing when I search.

1. Start a No Save game

2. After Sonic runs past the Sega logo, tap S, E, G, A in that order and listen for the ring

3. Now hold 2 fingers on the screen until you see it.

Just go onto a Sega developed game and tap 'see more from Sega America'

It would be even more awesome if they included the immersive-mode for devices with on-screen-buttons

 

[ExitPlanetDust]

Been waiting for this since the rerelease of Sonic. Though I read that iCade support isn't in (it was in the Sonic remaster), and that's really unfortunate.

 

[SegaShack]

I'm a huge classic Sonic fan, 3 and Knuckles are my favorites but I still love 2. This news is insane. I thought it was crazy how they added Tails into Sonic CD, but Hidden Palace Zone, and a boss? Holy crap!

I really wish I had an iOS or Android device . This is the one time I would want an Ouya.

Whoah! Elemental Shields? This is great.

 

[afoni]

Wish I could play this on the train with buttons :c

Thanks! Just bought it.

 

[zweifuss]

touche, I wish there was a way to hack my android to get rid of those buttons

 

[Itchy//Tasty]

Did they get RID of the Hill Top Zone boss?

 

[MrCunningham]

Wish I could play this on the train with buttons :c

Well Android devices already have game controller support. on iOS7 there are already a few officially licensed controllers being released on the market,

Logitech's Powershell: http://gaming.logitech.com/en-ca/pr...ller-and-battery?WT.ac=ps|11181|powershell|hp

And the 'MOGA Ace Power: http://www.macrumors.com/2013/11/19/first-ios-7-game-controller-moga-ace-power-now-available/

I'm sure the Sonic Remastered ports will support pads like these (or probably already do) But it's a shame that both of those devices cost $99.00, which is a bit too steep if you ask me.

That happened to me too (except for the Game Over part)


wtf

 

[afoni]

I need a dpad so badly.

 

[Tailzo]

I need a dpad so badly.

I agree. Maybe I should get a iphone controller.

 

[Guess Who]

Did they get RID of the Hill Top Zone boss?

No, it's a bug in the iOS version. Will be patched soon (and already is on Android).

 

[Itchy//Tasty]

No, it's a bug in the iOS version. Will be patched soon (and already is on Android).

Oh ok. I was gonna say I don't really miss it that much, lol.

Played the new zone, loved it. Also messing around with the elemental shields and Knuckles/Tails - together at last!

 

[Anth0ny]

So how can I play this game with a controller

do I need to buy an ouya or nvidia shield or some shit

I have an iphone and an android tablet

In case you can't tell, I've never played a game on either of them besides Simpsons tapped out and Plants vs. Zombies.

 

[SoulUnison]

Does Hidden Palace Zone use the unused music from the original Sonic 2?

 

[DeVeAn]

When I download it gives the old version. Why?

 

[patrickthehedgehog]

Mmm, these updated Sonic games would be amazing in a pack for Vita.

 

[Diablohead]

Whoa, what. Sonic 3 shields? Hold me, GAF.

You would love the Sonic 1 remaster then, it has sonic 2 and 3 monitors as a choice as well as a 7th emerald, which means...

 

[Azure Dream]

Does Hidden Palace Zone use the unused music from the original Sonic 2?

No. It uses the Mystic Cave 2P music, like one of the prototypes did.

Which actually

Spoiler

makes the idea that it's hidden via Mystic Cave further awesome.

 

[>:)]

Does Hidden Palace Zone use the unused music from the original Sonic 2?

For whatever reason, it uses the 2P Mystic Cave music. Pretty sure it'll be patched...

Edit: Beaten by a minute!

If you're tablet is rooted and has Bluetooth you can use a PS3 controller for apps. Use this to check if it works on your tablet: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscompatibilitychecker

You will need a mini USB cable to go PS3 controller to tablet first.

 

[Colby]

The best part about this is we're almost definitely getting S3&K. Sonic 1, CD, and 2 are already done. I can't wait to see what this guy brings to that game. Sonic 2 will be the first smartphone game I've ever purchased.
