i'm 41 (42 in a month) and to me Sonic is and forever will be a 2D games. This said, I'm watching in this days how the saga went on in its days (I did remain at Sonic 2, and still think that 1 and 2 are the best), and imho instead of creating Shadow I'd have given a central rule to Knuckles.
It brings so much happiness to my heart knowing that theres still people who enjoy playing these games and uploading them for all the other fans. so much nostalgia here. missing the dreamcast days dearly...

Beyond texture compression screw-ups, all signs point towards things like transparencies just not converting over to Gamecube well, hence why SADX is so much worse-looking than SA1. The shadows were also simplified, and stages like Iron Gate were utterly _demolished_ by the downgrades in visuals, especially once the HD version simply tossed out lighting in that stage altogether. For such acclaimed games, Sega is absolutely and utterly lazy in porting them properly.
I haven’t seen this in 19/20 years and I still remember it stage-by-stage, sequence-by-sequence. Now that’s what you call a memorable game! Awesome! Thanks for uploading
Gameplay and music appear to have aged very well. Even the story resonates with people to this day. But man, the acting and animations! No wonder lots of people want a remake of the SA games.
There’s a certain charm to the Dreamcast version. From the slightly muffled music, the 4:3 ratio, and an old CRT to top it off. Lot of people grew up with gamecube, but Dreamcast was how I remember it lol
Did anyone else notice the inconsistencies in the first cutscene? When Sonic first jumps out of the helicopter, he has his classic shoes, but when he flips to the wing and the camera cuts, he has on his Soap brand grind shoes.
No seriously, It randomly popped up on my timeline on Facebook and I dropped a tear 😢 lol what a time to be alive. We had the Best games back in the day
So if we do get a SA3 and we will thanks to frontiers doing so well I would like the hub era, but they really gotta fix the stage levels to be like SA2s cuz god it was hot trash in Frontiers as much as I loved the mini open worlds, however I want SA 3 to have a story as good as the first 2 this one has the more epic story in my opinion. I would also like them to bring the original writers who worked on SA2 with the guy who did frontiers for Sonic Adventure 3.
4:31:08 Truly a nail-biting finish. Getting bounced back off the final boss multiple times and beating it with 1 ring remaining instead of playing it safe. Bravo 👏🏼

@@reginadeleon1911 Actually no. The Dreamcast version is the OG and has a lot of better stuff than the GC version.

Interesting how they say in the tag line, save the world...or conquer it. The Hero Story isn't the real ending of the game storyline. As it turned out, the Dark Story didn't end with them conquering the world which is hinted as you see DANGER on the screen before it shows the credits.

The peak final Sonic game for the final Sega Console. It was well made and such a wonderful storyline.

And if there gonna do an SA story please bring back the original characters make sure it’s epic and feels like a Sonic Adventure game.
Great. Both SA games were incredible in their unique ways. Metal Harbour and Windy Valley pushed the limits of the Dreamcast imho
Now that is how you end the game by a close call, one ring! I'm impressed!
I usually ended up lost 6 lives on that final boss battle in SA2.
