From IGN: "Sonic Origins' release date and editions were announced earlier today and fans aren't happy with the amount of locked-off DLC, including the game's 'Hard Missions', camera controls on elements of the main menu, and character animations while playing music.
The remastered collection of Sonics 1, 2, 3, and CD has announced 8 pieces of content not included in the standard edition, and spread across a number of different editions and DLC packs..
According to the Sonic Origins website, hard missions, mirror mode being unlocked, and even certain animations and music are all locked behind DLC packs from launch."
Gearing up for its launch later this month, Sega has shared some gameplay footage from Sonic Origins Plus. This expanded version of last year's compilation game has a bunch of new features, but the main pull here is its inclusion of all 12 Sonic games released for the Game Gear. However, it seems that their grand debut on modern hardware isn't going to be as great as fans had hoped.

Thankfully I'm no where near the Sega fan I once was. Looks like I'll be skipping this Origins collection as well. But hey they say third times the charm. Maybe with Sonic Origins ++ Sega will get its shit together. 😕
Sonic Origins Plus is what the original should have been (minus the audio issues)
The real Sonic Origins Plus should have included more games like Sonic Rush or Knuckles Chaotix
Hit movies, a great 3D game, a co-op sidescroller, a murder mystery visual novel. There is something for every Sonic fan right now.
We did have it good. The sonic og cartoons and sonic x, the sonic games (sonic 1-3 and Sonic adventure 1-2). We had it good. Also sonic shuffle a good party game for the DC. Spent countless hours playing that game single player or with siblings.
Oh look at that, we did have it good. This article is dumb.
Ahhh. Did you forget the 90’s? When Sonic was at it’s peak. Or were you too young or not alive to really understand that?
Sonic fans were eating good in the 90's and early 00's. There was plenty of Sonic content to go around.
SEGA is making some big changes to Sonic Origins with the expanded re-release, Sonic Origins Plus. Comprising a new playable character in Amy, Knuckles playable in Sonic CD, and a dozen newly added Game Gear games, it's a clear effort from the publisher to turn the retro collection's fortunes around. While it's catching a bit of flack for excluding the Master System versions, fans are largely quite excited for the changes.
However, Sonic Team hasn't been dealing with this on its own. Indie developer Headcannon — known for leading development on the acclaimed Sonic Mania — has confirmed its involvement in this new package.
That's excellent now bring that arcade game to consoles and I'm complete frfr
Kinda baffling why they didn't use the Master System versions of the games, not even sure why they felt the need to zoom in so much with the Game Gear versions, would've been nice if you could choose zoomed in or not.
I mean, Frontiers seemed to come out pretty solid. So there's that.
But it's sad that this amateur team is outdoing the main Sonic Team at this point.
Not buying this!
When it releases just torrent it on PC. It will have all the DLC included as well, no worries at all 😁 Use either FitGirl or DODI repacks.
Fans should instead be concerned with how Sega keeps rehashing this same set of games, 35 years on from its release, instead of investing money in to making new games.
How many times do we need to have Sonic 1 - 3 re-released in various forms? We're reaching Resident Evil 4 levels of regurgitation here.
