If this was a nintendo game, it would already be gone.

Summons753087d ago

Yeah but unlike Nintendo and any other company worth their salt...Sega hasn't cared about Sonic since the 90s. But please, continue being butthurt companies protect their IPs from thieves who make ripoff titles and claim it as their own.

Your comment is a bit over aggressive, but not necessarily incorrect.

Wrong, Sonic Generations was pretty awesome and Sonic Mania looks great.

The 10th Rider3086d ago

Sonic generations and sonic colours were good . . . Lost World and Secret Rings were okay. Sonic mania and untitled sonic both look to be shaping up well.

At least Sega is cool about fan triubutes

andrewsquall3087d ago

Nope, 8 years in the making Streets of Rage Remake is a perfect example. As soon as the team put together the finished version in 201,1 Sega demanded the download links be taken down. http://www.bombergames.net/...

oh wow, wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the info, that's a shame. All that work down the tubes :(

MrBrofist3086d ago

If it was a Nintendo game it would have been functional

The 10th Rider3086d ago

That is true. Nintendo's games may not always be good, but they're very rarely unfinished and buggy.

Now even pc gamers can enjoy the craptacular game that was sonic 2006.

Pookandpie3087d ago

So... I'm assuming, then, that they're also fixing a large number of ridiculous glitches the game had? This might actually be worth playing, then.

I remember playing this when it came out on my PS3. I got a game over on the first stage because the game absolutely refused to have the automated scripts run properly: I'd be in an automated shuttle loop section, and at the end of the loop, Sonic would just get tossed out into the water for no reason instead of landing where he should have, on land. Rinse and repeat that several times.

There was a particular rail in Crisis City that, after a transition, Sonic was supposed to automatically land on it. He just would not land on that rail. Came to discover that any input on the analog stick at all messed up the automatic sections of the game (*all* of them- you'd be killed for pressing anything at random), and my Dualshock 3's left analog stick was a little loose (a very slight input- not enough to move Sonic on foot, but when I tried playing another game, the character would tiptoe in one direction when my hands weren't on the controller). It'd be nice that something like that get fixed, lol, because I was extremely frustrated with the game for a long time without even knowing why I kept dying from the automated stuff you can't progress without touching.

Also, making those items and their gauge actually work would be a good idea too. You could buy certain items and then basically just fly after that.

I never asked for this. I'm pretty sure no one else did either.

zb1ftw7773087d ago

I thought you was being mean.

And then i saw which version of Sonic this refers to and suddenly agreed with you.

Cy3087d ago

Every time I hear about a new fangame I can't help thinking "Okay, great, but all this effort could have gone into a game you could actually make money off of..."

we need a new sonic pinball, with boss battles / hidden stages / 1 sec load times

Snookies12594d ago

Definitely agreed. I loved Sonic Spinball back on Genesis. I want a new Mean Bean Machine too, while we're at it!

Snookies12594d ago

Still need to check out Frontiers at some point. Just waiting on a really good Steam sale for it.

I didn't realise it was that popular.
