#

or hell, even if they used Master System versions of 8-bit games, I wouldn't say anything

sonic rampart
#

mania was also only the length of one of the games in this package so I'd hope it was priced accordingly ngl

#

people would not have been happy if it was priced the same as origins regardless of how good you think the game is

#

and it's quite good

honest plank
#

From what I understand, yes

#

This is good value

I'm super curious what this extreme mode thing is

sonic rampart
#

extreme mode?

#

in origins?

honest plank
#

Yeah there's something called "extreme missions"

shell yoke
sonic rampart
#

don't think so

#

I don't remember anything like that

shell yoke
#

Oops nvm

honest plank
#

Were they? Idk

shell yoke
#

Those were hard missions

honest plank
#

Ah

#

I guess these are just harder then

shell yoke
#

Anyways

restive mulch
shell yoke
#

I just hope for their own sake they fix up the issues people have, at least some of them 😭

restive mulch
#

It's DLC that's already been out as part of Digital Deluxe or separate DLCs I guess

#

It's not really new

honest plank
#

They said there will be "bug fixes"

#

So that's a good sign

sonic rampart
shell yoke
#

They were not

restive mulch
#

Gonna assume they just named it wrong

honest plank
#

Yeah that's what I thought

restive mulch
#

wouldn't be the first time they fucked up the description

sonic rampart
#

not impossible I guess, but that's an odd mistake to make

#

but it's whatever

#

interestingly enough when plus comes out, origins will have a higher amount of both games and content than mega collection

#

Though you'd hope that would be the case for what they're asking for it

#

now that I'm actually looking at things I'm now realizing that I've mistaken master system versions for genesis versions and now i'm wondering what the difference is

honest plank
#

They're fullscreen versions of the game gear games

#

Screen crunch was a big problem with most of them

#

Makes sonic 2 a chore to play

sonic rampart
#

ah I see

#

so can we not expect an aspect ratio increase like what we got with 3&k?

shell yoke
#

Are they just emulated tho?

#

Like ofc you can make some emulated games widescreen

#

But I don’t think they’d do that tbh

honest plank
#

They're just emulations yeah

#

I think they're just gonna be like in sonic adventure DX

#

Just the old games, no touch ups

kind lintel
#

each gg game seems to have a black border around it

#

probably just an effect of the emulator they're using

vagrant spindle
#

Either that or the fuckin boarders were only made for the Classic Mode aspect ratio

kind lintel
#

probably

#

i dont think gg's aspect ratio fits exactly

sonic rampart
#

i wonder if the drift games and mean bean machine will have online multiplayer

#

That would be pretty dope

kind lintel
#

nah

devout raft
#

Bruh I have been seeing people on my tl argue all day nonstop about if Super Amy' hair should be yellow or light pink.

#

Tbh I think I like gold rose better but then maybe yellow would fit more cause she is a hedgehog Sonic_Think

#

Origins fans when they see Atari50 and the Cowabunga Collection (they are slowly realising Origins is not good value)

restive mulch
#

But Amy tho!!!!!

#

But shitty versions of 8-bit games tho!!!!!!

floral stratus
#

I mean.

kind lintel
#

curious to know

floral stratus
#

As someone who didn’t get Origins originally, the value seems fine to me, lol.

kind lintel
#

what's you guys' favourite video game compilation?

vagrant spindle
#

Bro, even without Amy Rose (mid), this shit still ain’t worth $10

quick elbow
#

These are ROMs, right

floral stratus
#

Can’t make the decision objectively, but.. probably Gems collection. Only because of nostalgia though.

kind lintel
vagrant spindle
floral stratus
#

I played Sonic R a lot, lol.

quick elbow
#

…is it me or has there been zero mention of rewind/savestates

#

the standard things to include for ROMs lol

vagrant spindle
#

Visuals looking to be passed through HE2 for the emulated Game Gear games

#

Much like the RSDK games

quick elbow
#

are they just, not including rewind for these or

vagrant spindle
#

There is no mention about that so…

quick elbow
kind lintel
quick elbow
#

Literally every other collection with ROMs has this lmao

#

straightup bare minimum

floral stratus
#

Alright I’m gonna write something pretty long in a second.

#

Fair warning, lol.

vagrant spindle
#

You won’t last past some bosses

quick elbow
#

Like, fair enough with the mainline MD titles, they’re still fairly balanced nowadays and they removed lives which lessens the blow a ton

#

…but the GG ones? Oh boy lol

fast magnet
#

death egg zone in sonic 2 is still unfair af

#

even by today's standards

#

it's not even unfair nvm

#

it's poorly designed

kind lintel
#

for me, not having savestates like the main games in origins is just a "suck it up" thing for me

just have to get by without it

#

savestates and rewind is convenient though

quick elbow
# fast magnet it's poorly designed

Yeag, this is it - a lotta past games have so many moments which are badly done by modern standards, which is why savestates/rewind are the norm

#

…so to simply not have them for these is, a choice lmao

sonic rampart
#

though atari 50 is more more of a bargain since it has over 100 games

quick elbow
#

I paid 35 for origins at launch - with the DLC, that’s 45 quid

…cowabunga collection is 20

sonic rampart
#

on sale maybe

#

it's 40 dollars for me

#

at least on steam it is

#

and that's in us dollars

#

so technically it'd cost more for me

#

they both cost the same amount btw so I don't know how you got one at half the price of the other

#

not disparaging. I literally don't know why there's a price discrepancy for you when there's none for me

fast magnet
#

i mean... i'd pay 40 bucks for the physical

#

but i feel like i'll only play the genesis titles 💀

quick elbow
#

Yeah like, I know twelve GG titles added but

#

how many of them are y’all actually gonna play 💀

sonic rampart
#

I'll probably play all of them to completion at least once

fast magnet
#

i mean

#

i'll try them

sonic rampart
#

as in begining to end, not 100%

fast magnet
#

but if they' boring then... whatever yk

sonic rampart
#

mean bean might give me some issues since i'm not too good at puyo puyo

kind lintel
sonic rampart
#

but the rest I'll play through at least once

kind lintel
#

and maybe a bit of mean bean

sonic rampart
#

i'll be completely frank, I never did a proper play through of cd or 3&k until origins

tranquil cloud

So like, Origins Plus is weird.

The people who don’t see any value in it are honestly justified because for one, it’s just Amy and 12 roms you can probably download on the internet but this time it’s 10 dollars. Even more so if you double dip. The fact that it costs the same as base Origins for the physical edition but people who already own it have to pay 10 dollars more is really funky and a bit predatory, even if it’s not by a lot. On top of that, a lot of people.. don’t really value the game gear games, so they’d rather have something like Chaotix or even 3D Blast. Hell, it’s also weird that games that have genesis versions, like Spinball and Mean Bean Machine, still get their game gear counterparts used. On top of that there’s pixel blurring in Origins, a weird drop dash, pretty nasty sounding music replacement for Sonic 3, etc. There’s a lot you can not like about Origins, or Plus.

That said, I don’t think it’s fair to dismiss the people who do see value in it and want to buy it. I’m not a hardcore collector, but I do like the idea of a reversible cover and art book with apparently art we’ve never seen before. I do like how Amy is finally getting pushed into the spotlight and they went out of her way to add her in and give her the hammer instead of her just being a Sonic clone. I like that Powerhouse did really well done animations for transitions between games. I like how clean the presentation is. I like that they’re including all the DLC for free. I love how they’re not only adding Knuckles into CD, but also giving him unique routes in that game. I like that I get to play older Sonic games I like in one convenient place.

Even if people don’t like the game gear games, or think it’s funny that they’re just roms, I do like that they’re here. I do have memories of playing things like Triple Trouble or Drift in SADX.

#

I have nostalgia for them. Not everyone does, but that’s my experience. I’d love to play through those “mediocre 8-bit games” again and try ones I haven’t played.

On top of that, they’re doing bug fixes as well, although that’s the bare minimum and we don’t know what they’ll exactly be.

My point here is that you can not like what Origins Plus is or what it delivers, but that doesn’t mean that others won’t see any value in it as well in something you may find meaningless. That doesn’t discount your own thoughts, but it’s just a matter of not getting into a quarrel about what really comes down to personal preference.

#

(TL;DR - If people think it’s stupid, that’s valid. If people think it has a lot of value that’s valid.)

sonic rampart
#

as I've said before, when origins plus comes out, this will be the most comprehensive collection of classic sonic games period

#

I think there is some value to be had in that even if we don't like all the games within equally

shell yoke
#

but nah I’m joking

#

I agree a lot with that

formal rapids
#

I like the idea behind origins plus but they gotta do more

shell yoke
#

Like if you think Origins Plus is mid or that they didn’t do enough or something

#

That’s fair

#

Especially if you’re being charged 10 more dollars for something you already bought 😭

#

But the value people find in things is always different

#

There is no end all be all

#

This might be the actual “definitive” collection to someone

#

And that’s okay

floral stratus
#

Yeah.

#

I sympathize with others who see no real value in Origins Plus, especially those who bought it digitally last year, but, looking at the physical version as someone who didn’t buy Origins-

#

I do see a lot of value for me personally. Like you said though, it’s not the same for everyone.

sonic rampart
#

even for me as someone who bought it digitally and has to pay 10 extra, the money is worth it to me in my opinion

#

would i prefer to save my 10 dollars? I think that should go without saying

#

But it's still a good deal in my eyes

floral stratus
#

Mhm. Same here.

tribal wave
#

If they added R or Fighters in the bundle, then I would've jumped on it instantly

floral stratus
#

Oh, absolutely lol.

#

I love R. I get it’s janky, but it’s so fun.

sonic rampart
#

That'd be heat ngl. But it seems origins is focusing on 2d games

floral stratus
#

Fighters, I haven’t played much.

floral stratus
sonic rampart
#

I'd love to fight my friend in sonic the fighters

floral stratus
#

I think there’s more of a case for Chaotix and 3D Blast than the Saturn games, but they would’ve been nice.

sonic rampart
#

chaotix is a bit iffy to add since this package also serves as a lore thing

#

I'm looking forward to the lore implications of sonic drift lol

kind lintel
#

it'd be funny if that game actually mattered in sonic lore lmao

shell yoke
#

Rare moment of tails channel having a calm and nuanced discussion about a product

#

enjoy it while it lasts.

kind lintel
#

...rare?

#

oof

floral stratus
#

Pff-

sonic rampart
#

og hasn't found this channel yet so we're good

shell yoke
#

😭

#

Real

formal rapids
#

The discussion turned to ‘your contrasting opinions are valid’ which has always been the case so 🤷‍♂️

floral stratus
#

Getting caught up in their own bubble of “I’m right and this is why”. Not saying that about anyone here, just in general when discussions occur.

sonic rampart
#

sonic labyrinth's plot has always been very funny to me. Eggman breaks into sonic house and instead of taking him out, he instead decides to play a sick prank on him instead

formal rapids
#

fair, I think we’re a lot more consistent with that fact than most corners of the fanbase though

shell yoke
#

Even I'm guilty of that sometimes

tribal wave
#

Same

floral stratus
#

That’s okay. We all are.

sonic rampart
#

yeah, sometimes you get so wrapped up in your arguement that you don't realize that you both have valid points

#

and it seems that the more frivilous the topic, the more invested you can get for better or for worse

shell yoke
#

True

shell yoke
#

tailstube lied..

sonic rampart
#

maybe he was crashing at tail's place in labyrinth

#

or maybe he sold his house

#

or couldn't pay rent

formal rapids
vagrant spindle
shell yoke
#

LETS GO

sonic rampart
#

return of the goat

formal rapids
#

Eggman doxxed sonic so sonic pledged to never have his house discovered ever again

sonic rampart
#

"he can't ambush me in my house if I have no house. checkmate eggman!"

shell yoke
#

CRYING

sonic rampart
formal rapids
# shell yoke CRYING

this reminds me of the time where Ralph breaks the internet became relevant again and the internet started collectively gaslighting itself to make it seem like it never existed

shell yoke
#

but like, adding Knuckles into CD is yeah, a no brainer

#

but the fact they're implementing unique routes for him is sick

formal rapids
#

that’s admittedly pretty cool

shell yoke
#

I would've guessed they would just slap him in and let that be the end of the story

kind lintel
#

we'll see the quality of the plus additions first

#

seems like no one has stepped forward to claim that they worked on plus

sonic rampart
#

now that i'm thinking about it, amy's hammer is just the static shield but better huh?

shell yoke
#

Zippo also said getting Amy in wasn't easy

formal rapids
#

I think (for obvious reasons) frontiers is also an important part of this topic

shell yoke
#

They already tried that with Mania Plus but it didn't work out

#

But he said something about getting the original game designer's blessing first

sonic rampart
#

huh

shell yoke
#

his words, not mine

sonic rampart
#

well at least it's a thing now regardless of why

#

and now there's precedent

formal rapids
#

did they visit yuji naka in jail and ask him to pretty please let them have playable Amy 🥺

sonic rampart
#

did yuji naka make amy?

formal rapids
formal rapids
sonic rampart
#

i mean for classic amy specifically

#

of course modern amy is in 2d in advanced but classic amy has never been playable

shell yoke
#

Amy took a huge backseat in the 2010s

#

Her most prominent role during that time was probably Forces 😭

#

or free riders, idr

sonic rampart
#

i'd say it depends on how you define prominent

floral stratus
#

I’m just glad they’re pushing her into the spotlight again regardless.

#

Being playable again in both Origins and Frontiers is great.

shell yoke
#

ye ye

#

The rascal gang is moving..

sonic rampart
#

I don't really have a positive opinion on multiple playable characters in general but I'm happy for eveyone else. Hopefully in the future multiple playstyles won't be the worst aspect of the sonic game(the 3d ones specifically)

shell yoke
#

obv being playable too

sonic rampart
#

then free riders is probably the last time?

formal rapids
shell yoke
#

Yeah it's nutty

#

Like goddamn

sonic rampart
#

The thing is, I don't think they could get away with charging money for the frontiers dlc

#

update 3 is debatable

shell yoke
#

They very well could have

#

I wouldn't AGREE

sonic rampart
#

i mean that it wouldn't have gone over well

shell yoke
#

but they could've

sonic rampart
#

like with origins plus they can at least hide behind the amount of content being added.
While I would have payed 5 dollars for any of the dlc, I'm pretty sure a lot of people would find the idea absurd

shell yoke
#

Like they could've charged like 5 bucks or something for the Boss Rush, Cyberspace Challenge, Juke Box, Photo Mode and Extreme mode

#

But they didn't

shell yoke
#

Is that Origins had DLC like this that charged you for each lmao

#

Obviously not 1 to 1

#

But stuff like animations on the fucking title screen and harder missions and music

sonic rampart
#

origins had this but it was day 1 dlc which is never a good thing

tribal wave
spice wigeon
#

in general the route they picked for more Origins content is cheap, they are literally emulated, but some of them are actually worth playing tbh, like Sonic 1 and 2, Triple Trouble and Tails Adventure yeah

formal rapids
#

keep in mind

frontiers is the big new AAA sonic game

and origins is meant to be a fun nostalgic throwback collection

shell yoke
#

but i think you still see what I'm saying

formal rapids
#

what makes more sense to charge $10 for dlc

tribal wave
#

Did Origins sell well?

sonic rampart
#

i'm pretty sure it did

spice wigeon
#

they knew if they picked Spinball and 3D Blast 16 bit games they should have remastered them

shell yoke
#

Origins is smaller so they feel more comfortable charging for additional stuff

spice wigeon
#

I'm sure it made the same profit as Mania before Plus except because Origins was double the price

shell yoke
#

Frontiers is the AAA Sonic game that moved 3 million units and has had tons of praise from fans

sonic rampart
tribal wave
#

Bruh

shell yoke
#

SHEEESH

sonic rampart
#

and that's on steam alone

#

so yeah, it made some money

shell yoke
#

Never underestimate Classic Sonic

formal rapids
#

I’ll do whatever I want thank you

shell yoke
#

But yeah

#

I feel like they're more comfortable pulling out of their ass with Origins because of the scale of it

#

compared to Frontiers

sonic rampart
#

to be fair, that's nothing compared to frontiers selling 2 mill copies in like two months

spice wigeon
shell yoke
#

also because classic sonic obviously sells like hot cakes because nostalgia

sonic rampart
#

on steam anyway

spice wigeon
#

it's good tho

sonic rampart
#

they say as much in the article

shell yoke
#

So RetroGamer23 is gonna see Origins and pick it up

spice wigeon
#

I'm sure it did well, but the original plan was to make it physical anyway if this is what they did with Mania

#

it's literally the same path

shell yoke
#

yep

#

Once again

#

Feeling smart SmugAmy

floral stratus
#

Didn’t expect that much honestly, lol.

spice wigeon
#

this is Frontiers for comparison: https://gamesensor.info/news/sonic_frontiers

but yeah it's still really different because the game was brand new

New Sonic Frontiers sales are 7 times higher than those of the previous Sonic Origins in the first month of release on Steam | GameSensor

According to GameSensor's estimations, Sonic Frontiers sales amounted to almost $15 million in the first month of release date on Steam. The number of Sonic Frontiers copies sold on the platform during the same period reached about 300 thousand.

shell yoke
#

same tbh

spice wigeon
#

and highly popular too

shell yoke
#

15 MILLION

floral stratus
#

On Steam only.

quick elbow
spice wigeon
#

that gives a tiny idea of how much money SEGA made with Frontiers

shell yoke
#

Goddamn

#

Man I'd hop back on taking care of Sonic too 😭

#

15 million dollars in a month

sonic rampart
#

considering they hit 3 million copies recently, you can multiply that by around 60 and it's a fair amount of money

formal rapids
#

“Ayo wait giving your employees the time and budget to make your series the best it can be instead of pandering to nostalgia-blind neck beards can actually really help you? ayo bet?”

shell yoke
#

bros are drowning in the cash dollars

sonic rampart
#

control only just hit 3 million copies around the same time and it was made like 3 years ago

#

not knocking on control, it was great

#

just a point of comparison

shell yoke
#

15 million dollars...

sonic rampart
#

way more than that now

shell yoke
#

1,959,225,000 yen

#

and it's triple that by now

sonic rampart
#

it's easily over 100 million dollars by this point

#

even accounting for discounts

fast magnet
#

they're prolly close to 3.5M units rn

spice wigeon
#

They probably never saw these numbers with Sonic games lmao, or at least not in a decade, Forces sold well but most people bought it cheap or tried it for free

floral stratus
#

So yeah, Frontiers was a modest success.

sonic rampart
#

I'd say it was a pretty major success as far as sonic team is concerned

fast magnet
#

even tho they said they "just passed 3M", they were already at 2.9 Back in late december

#

so of course it's way above 3M rn

spice wigeon
#

Mania I knew sold more than 1 million units in months, that's what I remember but it's good for a digital title

sonic rampart
#

sonic mania also sold pretty well

fast magnet
#

i'd say mania prolly sold around 2M life time

sonic rampart
#

try 8.6 million in six months

fast magnet
#

nah

spice wigeon
#

TSR... no idea, I only know it was in top position the week it released only for it to be inaccurate data lol, Colors Ult was also 3rd or something like that in charts, and was most likely pushed because it was the only release around the movies period

shell yoke
#

Them asf rn:

sonic rampart
#

ah wait, my bad, I was reading something else

#

mania sold like 1 million

spice wigeon
#

anyway I don't think there was a recent release that sold bad

#

especially due to the fact that these releases had shitty budgets

fast magnet
#

TSR prolly sold X00 000 units

kind lintel
#

delayed to 2021 due to a multitude of factors

fast magnet
#

mania around 2M, frontiers is around 3.5M rn

spice wigeon
#

yeah

i got it in a bundle

but I can say that for all the sonic racing games I own

sonic rampart

it's the same cheaply made story mode

I have TSR and still haven't played it yet

shell yoke
#

TSR's story mode is..

#

idk man lmao

#

Actually I'll give it this

#

It let us hear the new VAs for the first time

sonic rampart
#

it's good if you want a good night's sleep

shell yoke
#

For Knuckles and Silver

spice wigeon
#

the characterizations were fun imo, not the new voices I thought

shell yoke
#

I think they changed Blaze's too?

sonic rampart
#

idk

shell yoke
#

Idr

#

Hot take but

spice wigeon
#

They changed like, Knux, Blaze, Silver, Rouge, Zavok

shell yoke
#

I really like Silver's voice

#

I like the youthful energy in it

#

even if him and sonic sound 20 years apart in age despite them both being teenagers

kind lintel
#

bryce papenbrook silver man...

spice wigeon
#

I liked the voices in Frontiers but at this point I'm growing fond of my italian voice actors

shell yoke
#

Honestly

#

Frontiers taught me

#

to let the new VAs cook

spice wigeon
#

for reference, they were picked for Generations (the first international dub), they worked on every Sonic stuff including Boom games, cameos, the movies and even Prime

sonic rampart
#

voice direction makes VAs sink or swim

shell yoke
#

Because I had little faith in Mitchell's Knuckles

spice wigeon
#

it's the same voices and they do everything Sonic related, I watched them grow

shell yoke
#

but he did pretty well

sonic rampart
#

Even the best VA can sound like ass with poor direction

shell yoke
#

and he killed it in the prologue imo

formal rapids
spice wigeon
#

the sad thing about the og voice actors (english), is that they changed over time since Gens, there is so much separation between games, movies, and Prime, which is all unified in the international dubs, or at least in my country

formal rapids
#

this was more out of their control if anything

#

Prime was made in Canada and laws exist for that, and the movies are the movies

#

they got tails at least

For as long as he can remember, Knuckles has preferred to operate on his own. As the guardian of the Master Emerald, he knows every corner of his island and every secret it holds…or so he thought. A sudden discovery is about to turn his world upside down.

but for the budget that was likely and the product on offer 2 million dollars in the first month ain't too shabby

Who knows about budgets

Frankly they've almost never ever announced video game budgets

So it's anyone's guess how much Origins cost

sonic rampart
#

i don't think it was anything ridiculous ngl

#

definitely not in the same ballpark as frontiers

#

but I can only guess

for all I know the budget for frontiers was 2 dollars and 3 50 dollar olive garden gift cards

the S3 music thing is wild cos

they’re still lacking reasons for people to really play the collection accept playing the games you’ve already played thousands of times in HD! and it’s not like there’s anything wrong with that but if you’re gonna give people a new collection it’s gotta have some weight to it
