Toxic Caves is legit one of the best songs on the Genesis. I almost don't even think a remix would ever do it justice, it needs that Genesis twang.

It's still amazing though...

Heck, this was my ringtone for the longest time. Speaking of ringtones...

I may have gone overboard with Forces tones, alarms, and alerts...

The funk stylings of the Virtual Sonic arrangement hold up pretty well.


I take it back this is amazing, thank you for sharing

Literally all they had to do was have this play in the first half and not the second and it would have been fine, but noooooo the boring video gamey boss music had to kick the sick hair metal banger out of the spotlight smh

I've always thought the fight works a bit better when you swap the dull endgame boss music to be first. Problem is the fight's too short and Open Your Heart doesn't really get to the headbanger.

At least Generations lets you play the original for the whole battle.

I'm playing Sonic Forces and I'm not hating it, send help.

I mean its level design so far is like Sonic for toddlers but it's like playing a musou for platforming.

Personally I'd see if there's a way to mod the game to not change the music track at all, but I don't know how feasible that is.

It might actually be possible these days, there's been a small resurgence in SA PC modding now that everyone can be unified on a single version of the game with the mod installer.

Actually making such a thing is beyond me.

I just ran through Adventure 2 again. A mess of a game, but it's "fun" and the Last Story never ceases to be kinda hype.

Shadow should've stayed dead fam.

time to pull up those old "SADX PC with and without Dreamcast mods" comparisons I made for that thread on the Old Forum

There's nothing really offensive about it. It just...is.
It's so similar to my experience with Lost World, it's not a glitchy mess, it's clean looking, it has a solid gameplay base but the level design just kinda flops.
I just played Aqua Road and what the shit was that? so many stages are like "awww we're finally heating up and...oh it's over"

Perhaps just a side effect of Sonic team being middling at level design right now but this really seems like one of the kids. Maybe in this second half of the game I'll start hitting Lost World style clusterfuck design to bring some fake difficulty in.

AGGRESSIVELY MEDIOCRE is right.

Post a picture of your bird buddy, friend Owl
For now I have some Edgey Bear, hopefully some clothing parts will allow me to complete his transition to BIONIC BEAR.
When the bird is eventually made, I will bless you all with its presence.

I feel bad for the sound team. There's some bangers in there that get cut off by the short ass levels. Network Terminal 1 whyyyyy

What we should've realised is that the music teasers from Sonic youtube were actually accurate to the snippet you'd hear in game.

Also, one unexpected plus to Forces Classic Sonic, it has the freakin' drop dash!

Everyone, meet my OC Buddy the Bird.

qr74o9a.jpg


He's a dedicated resistance fighter that will fight evil at all costs. He hopes that proving his loyalty to the cause will get him closer to Sonic, who he wishes to lovingly dissect. Buddy would like nothing more than to show the world that Sonic is just as beautiful on the inside as he is on the outside.

Yeah I was trying out the Adventure mod shown above (I chose to like keep the model of DX but the textures of Dreamcast Adventure since the model is honestly better in the remaster). It in general looks a lot better than DX graphics which is kinda crazy, but all the proof art style is king. Here are some pics of Sonic I took. No more shiny Sonic.

Wow, that looks gorgeous. Way better than whatever the hell they did with the DX model.

I think I still prefer the Dreamcast model because of the difference in Sonic's proportions and the shape of his spines, but yeah this looks really good and way better than the shite original PC and GC versions.
