Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection is due for release this week for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, bringing several 16-bit favorites to the forefront for the discounted price of $29.99. But is it really Ultimate or is Sega blowing smoke our way? Let's break down the package and take a look...
Kdin, Matt, and Jeremy take a look at five more games where you can get some super easy Gamerscore!
Eskimo Press: "At first glance Capcom's Arcade Cabinet looks like a must-buy for most old-school gamers -- Section Z, Ghost n' Goblins, Gun Smoke, the list goes on -- but this is not the case at all. It seems as though Capcom are just pissing off their core fans."
Capcom have been real cheapskates these past few years. They used to be one of my favorite developers/publishers. Back in the day I associated them with quality games that gave players a challenge. Now whenever they release a game I always think that I might as well not get that game until a few months, or a year later, because I know they're gonna release a "Super/ultra/deluxe" edition later, with extra content, and usually at a lower price
Man, I too miss the old days when CAPCOM made the classic Resident Evils, Breath of Fires and DMC. At the time I respected them and looked forward to their next game. Now I always look forward to their next blunder...
Im glad you used the word "cheapskate" because if theres one thing that really infuriated me about Capcom was SFxT.
They used the exact same characters from Street Fighter 4 and put them in SFxT and called it a new game, theyc ompletely ignored the fans requests for the different characters from other games and just cut corners. Then they take more copy/paste characters and charge us 20 dollars for it while they are still in the disc...
Oh Capcom you so classy....
anyone who supports & buys Scamcom games deserves whatever BS Scamcom gives them. If you haven't figured it out by now that Scamcom is just plain ripping everyone off with there nickel & diming you never will so just live with being ripped off.
The only way anything will ever change is to not support them. When they lose enough money they will either fix the problem of go out of business. At this point either option works for me.
LOl so much disagrees for you, it means that people like being scammed by Scammcom/Cahscom/Crapcom, those sheeps. Like Hano below.
wow i guess there are a lot of people that like to be scamed by scamcom(excellent name btw), otherwise i really cant see why you have so many disagrees, i for one agree with you,stop buying crapcom games and you wont get screwed over and they may actually gain some common sense.
I can't stand Cashcom. I too used to think they were cool (which they were) in terms of the games they released back in the day. But now, they're jus rediculous... On-Disc DLC, cutting franchises short (Mega Man), oh yea...RE5 and RE6.
I jus don't even bother with them anymore.
Not this again. I appreciate the crusade against Capcom done by some angry geeks.
However, Capcom remained strong in this business because through out their history they produced awesome games and continue to do so.
Sure the disk locked DLC was a dick move, but if you don't like something don't buy it. Some people just whine about anything Capcom related.
You don't think $45USD is too much for 15 mediocre retro 16bit games? Each to their own, I guess.
I have seen people gobble up bad games like Aliens CM and buy COD map packs for insane amounts of money.
I'm saying that anything Capcom does, some people hold torches and forks and talk shit about the company. But it doesn't change the fact they make great games.
So for this deal, you have the option to wait and buy the full pack for 30$ or buy the games you want individually or don't buy the games at all if you think the asking price is too much. That's the best way to send them a message.
However, some people seem to have it in for Capcom sometimes even if the situation doesn't call for such behavior.
@Hano:
So what if Activision does it too? How does one wrong make another right? What the hell kinda void logic...? SMH
thank god team ninja hasn't done that, all the dlc for the wii u version of ninja gaiden razor's edge, all dlc is free, and all the new 25 trial levels, and costumes, and all other extra content on the ps3 and 360 versions, the wii u is going to get all of that content too as a free download. if capcom ever brings tha game to wii u? i will pass, thank you, i love old arcade classics, but not that much. what happened to you capcom? you are all about the money now, how sad,oh well keep it up, and you'll end up like thq!!
PSU.com takes a look at yet another classic gaming anthem, this time from SEGA's retro-tastic brawler, Streets of Rage 3, available as part of Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection/Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection.
... there are only a few worthy titles in this 'ultimate collection', but those are the games that heve already been in many other genesis-collections, like the PSP-one.
But where is Revenge of Shinobi? Where is Speedball 2? Where is NHLPA? Where is Story of Thor? Where is Spider-Man? Where is the original (and better) version of Decap Attack? Where is Tiny Toons Adventures? Where is The Chaos Engine? Etc etc etc...
Plus I feel Sonic CD should just be released, which was the last great 2d Sonic. I know it's not technically a 'genesis' title, but still...
It is missing a lot of titles. Sonic and Knuckles and the lock on games, for example.
It's also missing After Burner, Gunstar Heroes, Outrun, Super Monaco GP, Toe Jam and Earl and, most importantly, Zero Wing.
And Disney licenses, like Castle of Illusion and Quackshot.
If they redrawn all of the artwork to HD, like Street Fighter 2 HD, I would buy this on day one. But if this is just upscaled to 720p then I will just stick with the emulator on my PC.
You can make your own Sega collection, its called go to web sites and download the ROM's.
Some of those games I do miss playing however GameTap already has about 2/3 of that list with better titles to add to the list.
Sega should have a Sega CD collection to remind people who started the CD revolution (excluding Turbo Grafix 16 CD).
There are alot of gmes on there that deserve to be there but I agree there are alot that are mroe worthy that aremissing. What about Aladin? (or my favourite) Bio-Hazard Battle and others already mentioned. Why both eccos? they were pretty bad.
