Now why couldn't SEGA have done this with the Android/iOS remakes of Sonic 1/2, and also Sonic Mania? Keep the play style as the originals but update the graphics to modern standards... it's not rocket science!

No it doesn't. It looks just as bad as games did back in the 16-but days. People just think it looks cool because "yea... retro rules"

IDK whether you're stupid or just playing dumb... The sonic series along some other titles (namely the ones developed by TREASURE) are some of the best looking games of that console generation.

AFAIK Sega doesn't DMCA fan projects, they know fans make much better games then they do.

Probably through a combination of increased resource requirements and not wanting to change the art style.

They've stated that their goal with Mania was to make a game which looked like something on the Saturn.

Personally, I still like the original art style.

Sega IIRC doesn't generally DMCA Sonic fan games, but they did C&D a Streets of Rage fan game.

That's the funniest thing I've read today. It looks really nice, but is the gameplay the fastest it can go? Because classic Sonic games and Mania were significantly faster than what that trailer showed.

They may have looked great for "that generation" but that has nothing to do with looking great now. Back then, the graphics were impressive. Now... They suck compared to what's possible.

Looks awesome to me, and has nothing to do with retro rules. It wasn't made to look like current gen games.

How do those two sentences not contradict each other?

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
     +1
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds

    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
