    After launch, Sonic Origins was found to have many performance issues on PC. However more importantly, the PC port is not running for many people, especially for those who do not have a graphics card installed. I will once again HIGHLY recommend that you choose PC to be the final resort of buying this game collection. Please consider getting Sonic Origins on console if you wish to play this collection. Every platform has a ton of bugs and glitches too so if that's not your thing, I would skip out on Sonic Origins. From my personal experience, I ran into very few bugs and it was smooth sailing for me, although I can't guarantee the same for all of you!

      No it ain't. The PC Version SUCKS like REALLY BADLY. It's absolute trash.
      Sonic Mega Collection on 6TH GENERATION CONSOLES HAD MORE GAMES!
      It had a gallery, Sonic 1-3, 3 and knuckles had its original soundtrack... Being Michael Jackson'd.Generally this port is terrible. It forgot about the Game Gear and Master System games.
      40 for 4 games that are mostly there, to be fair it's Tax Man and Stealth versions of 1-2+CD, but not being able to disable Coins in favor of lives while having... WIDESCREEN is a turn off.
      Poor framerate on PC IS ASTROCIOUS. Like these games can be emulated within in emulator via Dolphin, PSX2 for a collection.
      There is a lack of love for 8-bit sonic, Neo-geo pocket color sonic, or even ackowledgment of GBA games.

      @@zyriuz2 Not to mention the visuals look kinda bad. Like... A gamecube copy of Gems Collection looks more crisp than the actual "Sonic Origins collection" not to mention Gems Collection was more content for Cheaper, during a pre-digital age. It's somehow more crisp than origins when played via emulation. That's a major insult because that was my first exposure to Sonic as a kid with a PS2. That should tell you something.
      I wouldn't be so spiteful if it weren't for the takedown on the original genesis versions of these games on PC or the removal of the singular Sonic CD. I rather have the 100% UNADULTURATED CHRISTIAN WHITEHEAD SONIC CD THAN ORIGINS. Atleast it runs on Windows 7 ( I don't use it anymore )
      There is no INTERGER SCALING ON THE ORIGINS COLLECTION... There is no EXCUSE for that. It's 2022, if Capcom can do that for the Megaman franchises, Sega should've TRIED. I like options like Letterbox, 4:3 Something to make the in-game graphics not shimmer and be 100% pure clean and CRISP....
      Also the De-compilation versions of sonic 2 and 1 look SO MUCH SUPERIOR, not to mention the same engine as Sonic Origins for the damn games.
      Sonic Origins just pisses me off for being a Grand Theft Auto " Definitive " edition for Sonic fans if played only on PC.... Sega knew people bitched at them for putting Denuvo on Mania, but they still did it AGAIN. There is no excuse for this.
      Sonic Origins was bastardized due to Sega Publishing than anything else. I love Sonic, but damn his movies are his only revenue of good content, but his games are just pathetic? Sonic Frontiers is gonna be the death of the company... As seriously it looks as complete as sonic 06 is. Sega isn't full of talent, but bean counters. They're no actual gamers in it at all or fans of Sonic.

    The stiffness issue of Sonic 1 and 2 is how the rolling mechanic works. When jumping out of a role from pressing down at high speeds, spindashing, etc, you will loose all air control. Sonic 3 also has this issue, but the insta-shield let's you regain air control, effectively canceling this mechanic which was a thing in the original genesis version. Sonic CD doesn't have this mechanic. This is why the controls of Sonic 3 and CD feel better, and they used the CD approach with Sonic Mania.

      @@DarrGabb If you haven't played any of the classic titles, then yeah! It's great! Personally, there are some things that seem a little rough. The settings by far are some of the more rough parts of the compilation, since I had a lot of difficulty actually finding the settings, and then changing the soundtracks. Other than that though, it's a great compilation. The best parts of the mobile versions of the classic titles are here, including updated graphics, 16:9 aspect ratio, and improved physics and controls. The missions are fun, the story mode is interesting, and the cutscenes are just fantastic. Some of the updated soundtracks are... well, they leave a lot to be desired. However, if you've never played the classics, or lack nostalgia for them, I doubt they'll be an issue to you.
      As for the price... it's a little expensive, and honestly, out of any of the versions, I'd easily say the Switch or Console. PC seems to be having some issues with Denuvo, a poor anti-piracy software that SEGA tends to use for their games.
      TL;DR: if you haven't played the classics, go for it. It's a solid compilation. The remastered versions of the games are great, the cutscenes are awesome, and the coins actually help a lot with restarting special stages, which can get very difficult later on. There's a lot here to sink your teeth into. The price is debatable, but I'm personally enjoying it, and I've played these games hundreds of times. The worst parts of this compilation are mostly minor inconveniences than real issues. Best option is easily the switch or console. Pc is a little rough rn.

    For the most part, I’d say it’s worth it, but man, the problems are definitely glaring. Mostly how the new versions of the prototype S3 tracks are just terrible, and the game still uses the same blurry linear scaling that the 2011 Sonic CD port used. (Also Denuvo.) I do think overall the fan decomps and S3AIR are better, and that’s how I’ll continue to play on PC, but this is still a solid way to play them, and at this point, I’m just glad to have 3K on my Switch.
    EDIT: After finishing Story Mode, there’s definitely some issues. Audio mixing’s all over the place (especially in CD), Tails’s AI is broken in S2, Drop Dash doesn’t feel right in 1 & 2, and I ran into some collision bugs that caused some cheap deaths (notably in 3K). Also, I’ve heard about a particularly nasty bug in Story Mode that can mess up your save file. Thankfully, I never ran into it myself.
    But I love many of the changes that were made in 3K like restoring some unused animations and backgrounds and adding new looking animations. These are still good ways to play the games overall, but I’d understand waiting for these to hopefully be patched.

Connecting the games together with animations is a huge deal for me, and it was never about the lore - for me it is just about being able to see it all seamlessly. It makes it all feel like much more of a whole piece, and I love it.

      My best guess is that they simply didn't want to change the games even a bit. I mean, the cutscenes that do exist don't even connect with the ingame-cutscenes, both versions just sorta play and it is a weird disconnect.(As a reference for what I mean, it would make a lot more sense if the ingame-cutscenes played in the solo-versions of the games and the new cutscenes would play for the storymode. But that would require tweaking the games to cut out the credits-portions if the current gamemode is the storymode.)

    Well, between the fact that:
    1. These are games that have been ported to every system in existence (except this time, with added DRM)
    2. The ridiculous pricing for said games (not including the pre-order bonus content)
    3. No bonus games. They could have thrown in 3D Blast too or even Spinball just to pad out the collection.
    4. No extra playable characters. We got Mighty and Ray in Mania, yet they are absent here. Metal Sonic and Amy are heavily advertised but they aren't playable.
    5. The butchered Sonic 3 music (mastered by Jun Sunoue, reinforcing the notion that the guy is a hack whose music has become extremely generic now)
    6. Like I said before, there's DRM.
    7. And the behind the scenes developer drama,
    I'd say... No. In fact, Sonic Origins is not actually worth it.
    And no, some badly designed mission modes and little 3D dioramas on the menu screens is not enough. If you want me to care, then let me run through those worlds as Sonic like in Sonic Jam.

    Just started the video, happy to see you liked the same thing I did. I have fond memories of scrolling through the Sonic Mega Collection gallery, and to see the history and franchise so lovingly and thoroughly documented in Origins was a treat. I fired up the game and the very first thing I hit was the museum; there's just a magic to looking at these scans of all these games manuals, art, and animations that takes me back to being a kid again. Sonic 2 was the first game I ever played at 3 years old, I almost cried existential tears perusing what's on offer here; filled with bittersweet nostalgia.

      Why is it always a mess when they try to make some anniversary shit? For god's sake, Sonic Jam was just a placeholder for another Sonic game that was delayed and eventually got cancelled. Yet it was far superior than this. Tails does not respawn once I lose him yet you hear constant jumping sounds from him. Knuckles is not playable in SCD. The quality of the music of S3&K is awful. 1-ups got replaced by coins yet 1-up orbs are still there. These are mostly patch fixing issues so please Sega, release the patch and make this the definitive edition to play Sonic 1-K....as far as it can be a defintive edition without MJ's great tracks.

    This collection may be the best way to play sonic from a gameplay perspective but it definitely isn’t the best from a content one. Widescreen and mission mode and mirror mode with 8 animations that are like 30 seconds each don’t justify a $20 price increase when all of the games were $5 a piece. Mega collection plus had art from every game up to it and the menu music was top notch. We also can’t forget there were a bonus like 10 games that you could play (3D Blast, Spinball, Bean Machine, Ristar, etc.) So overall Mega collection plus will never be dethroned but I can see where your coming from. Personally I’m not gonna purchase this until it’s under $20 but it seems to be a decent collection, it’s just not worth the price point for the same experience some had 30 years ago

      You see I would be totally fine with this statement if Nintendo didn't get away with much worse.
      I mean they sell the bare minimum for 60€ not 40€ and this collection has actual effort put into it besides a resolution upscale.
      Not to mention it will go down in price at some point especially when the sales will come in.
      Something Nintendo still doesn't do properly as their sales always only go down to 40€ from 60€.
      So I think it's 100% justified for SEGA to release this collection at this price considering the time and effort that was put into it.

      @@YTDani75 I agree. That’s why I don’t purchase any of the nintendo rereleases as well. If all rereleases/remasters were priced at half of what they were when they were originally released it would be much more consumer friendly and nobody would have an issue. Like the Skyword Sword rerelease. The game came out in 2011 for $50-$60. If the Switch remastered was priced at $30 there would be no animosity.
      The biggest issue with the Sonic Origins debacle is that they intentionally pulled a rockstar games and removed the original ports of the games from digital stores just so the unaware consumer could purchase their “shiny new edition”. Each game was $5 and you could experience all the games in their original forms for half the price and get the same experience tbh. Even though I still think $40 for Origins is steep it would be the worst thing if the alternative was still available for people

    After fully completing Origins on Switch just yesterday, I can say it is my favorite way to play these games, especially since we finally have Sonic 3&K back cus it's my favorite game in the series. Even though the music for Sonic 3 was replaced, I actually enjoy the new tracks a lot. (Yeah, even the new Super Sonic theme, I said it.) And the only glitch I ever encountered was the rubble glitch in Marble Garden Act 1, which is a relief after what I've heard about the bugs. Thankfully most of my problems stem less from the remasters and more so from how Sega handled the collection. (things like the price and the chart.) Although it would be nice to have things like multiple saves for Sonic 1, 2 and CD, new playable characters and new games, I'm hoping that the DLC being teased through those surveys could fix those though. A good collection altogether, I had a good time!

    Why can’t they get this issue sorted out so they can use the release versions, these versions don’t fit as well and the tone and feeling isn’t the same at all.
    IK there are still versions with the original music and origins will have mods on pc (and the music is online) but still it’s not ideal
    I am at least glad CD still lets you select the soundtrack versions
    Also I wish they had included other games as well as have other options like playing 3 or sonic and knuckles on their own and maybe a few more modes or something (perhaps even a few more characters even as just skins)

For the levels with the music changed i just put on some earphones with the OG tracks playing on a UA-cam video, after i did that i did give the new tracks a shot, and they are just ok, not horrible just weird and they feel sort of out of place, like if a game played a happy song during a sad moment, it felt that strange, overall tho, the package is good with the extras it comes with, overpriced? Yes definitely, at least in my opinion, but it was a nice way to spend Sonic’s 31 years of existing, and i know this game will probably be the Sonic Mega Collection of new fans for their childhoods, bringing new fans into the series, especially those on the Switch version…

I wish I could give my own review, but unfortunately Denuvo is just fucking up the experience for me. I should be getting a better PC soon, so hopefully I can play it then, but it's good to see that people are enjoying it right now.

    The problem I have with Sonic 2 is when Tails gets stuck somewhere, he doesn't respawn off-screen until I reach a boss, so I can't use his flying ability for assistance. Well, at least for the Switch. I dunno if any platforms have this problem.

      That is literally the only glitch I've found in the game. No idea what all the other so-called glitches are supposed to be. I guess if the Sonic fandom finds ONE glitch they want to hang everyone at sega :/
