Head back to the store and just ask if you can get it to a voucher instead of replacement and you should be Gucci

okk ty :) gonna go tuesday cos bank holiday tmrw and it’s on my way back home from school

As long as you got the receipt it should be a straight warranty replacement but I know we’d refund it if you were getting something else

@flint folio @glass spade
just stumbled upon this after booting up my PS3 for the first time in awhile
is this version any different from DX
i assume since its not called DX, it may just be an actual port of the original Dreamcast version?
Oh
atomic topaz
that price is also so good tho
honestly
4 dollars for a version that i might end up enjoying more
glass spade
sonic heroes is on ps3 too which suprised me
glass spade
wait *what*
yup
atomic topaz
yup
no its not
i just checked
oh i know what you mean
its probly on ps2 classics
thats a problem since i know that ps2 heroes doeant run as great as gamecube or xbox
flint folio
Might be ok I don’t actually remember what version is on there, also “better SADX” is a mod he wasn’t saying DX was better
atomic topaz
actually im not seeing it there either

yeah that

@flint folio i traded my 360 copy of 06 but i had to trade it in
so i had to pay 6 quid
which is calm
flint folio
Likely so if there’s nothing wrong with the game, I doubt they’d do a straight swap for that
But good way to get it on the cheap
glass spade
he said it wasn’t within like when the warranty said u could do that
it’s fine tho i ain’t have to pay a lot
glass spade
W me
flint folio
he said it wasn’t within like when the warranty said u could do that
Yeah warranty is only covering issues like if the game doesn’t play, so makes sense, enjoy Sonic 07 though lol when I went to buy it in Bristol the bloke asked if I was sure

It looks very little like sonic rivals

That was a 1v1 racing platformer this looks like the classic games but co operative

This was a very muted response I’m weirded out

why we gotta be trapped in the genesis era forever

You're right

i was critical of it as well but i wouldnt go that far
mobile game is a stretch
atomic topaz
nah it looks hella fresh, visually
glass spade
not saying its not gonna be good
it does look good
but not like
amazing
idk im undecided til i actually play the game
atomic topaz
not saying its not gonna be good
tho to be fair, the logo kinda reminds me of sonic runners
which was a mobile game
atomic topaz
it has the same color for the subtitle and the stars in it
ok not as similar as i was thinking, definitely different font but the usage of stars in the logos for both is a funny coincidence
flint folio
Ok but sonic runners was awesome and the best fan service we got for some time
I’ve seen sonic mobile games and the animation and such is far cleaner than that
Being likened to perhaps one of the better bits of lost sonic media is if anything a compliment
glass spade
oh yh don’t get me wrong i didn’t mean it all bad
but my point is it does look like one

Idk if the stages are any more than inspirations as the island is a totally different one

wait how often do you get free games from cex?
and also how does that happen
flint folio
Games that are a little too scratched to sell but potentially probably playable
In terms of how often, not too often only if I take a chance on binned games
atomic topaz
Games that are a little too scratched to sell but potentially probably playable
makes sense
side note, ive always loved how the heroes cover art looks
very aesthetically pleasing
the three stripes representing the color of each team member, looks hella nice
flint folio
The holographic logo is nice
I like the game a lot but also can’t get through it weirdly
atomic topaz
Anyone else getting physical origins or just me with my shitty download code DLC
i actually do want all those game gear games in one place so perhaps sometime

It’s everywhere which is weird, official gaming stores and Netflix themselves having in a teaser so like what gives

Guess we’ll see
Frontiers update 2 hasn’t leaked though, that is almost guaranteed, sonics birthday was a feature on it
atomic topaz
thats exciting
flint folio
Looks dope :)
Felt quite fun, sonic 1 with drop dash and spin dash was quite something lol

Looks dope :)
i heard they were mainly aiming to fix the issues with the original release
would you say they accomplished that?

Apparently so? Twitter seems to think so

YAY
wait how many copies of origins plus do you own currently
is it just the one
i would've imagined you'd get it on switch
flint folio
Nah, good idea but I have mania on switch
The reason I have ps5 is actually because it actually has a platinum trophy
atomic topaz
i would def consider origins for switch
i love the switch as a place for older games and collections
flint folio
Mania didn’t have a platinum, I like to 100% sonic games and idk why but I love the white ps5 boarder
I’ve sold a decent number of my sonic switch titles since I got them on PlayStation, mania is an exception
flint folio
Actually quite enjoying sonic 1 now it has infinite lives since going back to GHZ annoyed me to shit
atomic topaz
got it quite awhile ago
flint folio
I have them all on PC but I don’t PC game much anymore, I like physical media too much
atomic topaz
thats funny
i recall you used to be such a PC guy
flint folio
I was but then I got my dads PS4 Pro
atomic topaz
Love that
flint folio
I was very console heavy back in the day too, PC is more of an accompaniment than a necessity
atomic topaz
i hadnt even thought of that before
you and i are both on team console now
flint folio
I will totally get a beefy PC eventually but buying a box for £450 that is guaranteed to run everything for a decade and everyone is developing for its exact specs is nice
Idk it’s just nice having discs and cases and stuff they’re pretty
atomic topaz
were you referring to ps5 there
flint folio
Yes
flint folio
With the console I can gauge exactly how every game released on it will play, with my PC it’s always a tad wobbly depending on a lot of things
We had a mandalorian beskar 1TB SSD come in for the ps5 and I was mighty tempted by it
atomic topaz
No no, it looks like a plate of beskar
i was thinking of this
the beskar shoulder plate that Din wears
atomic topaz
that is pretty awesome tbf
atomic topaz
tho if you're putting it inside your console whats the point lol
flint folio
True but I mean it’s a neat design
flint folio
Idk it’s just COOL and I like things that are cool for no other reason than being cool

Still, frontiers update is nowhere to be seen
People have said it will come out in the evening for the US folk but like idk why, it’s gonna be the 24th everywhere else
atomic topaz
Still, frontiers update is nowhere to be seen
there wasnt anything new for sonic in the central, was there
flint folio
The frontiers update was a new announcement, I mean we knew about it but not specifics
Uhh, yes
flint folio
Frankly why wasn’t superstars announced at the central?
atomic topaz
Exactly what i was thinking
flint folio
End it with one more thing and throw the trailer out
atomic topaz
kind of odd
flint folio
Why on Earth did they announce it just a few weeks prior
atomic topaz
but it was shown at two different presentations
flint folio
Like it was the “this meeting could have been an email” of sonic centrals
atomic topaz
very accurate
thats exactly how i felt about the Capcom showcase last week
i tuned in
and i 100% regret it
i counted like
1 thing
that was an actual announcement
flint folio
Very bizarre marketing from sega
flint folio
Announce a game before, announce an update but give no release time other than today, announce a game that released today (fair enough but still) and throw some merch
I’m amazed sega are still going as they are they are a shambles LOL
atomic topaz

yeah the amount of merch thats shown at sonic centrals baffles me
just why
like you said
could be an email
flint folio
Also why the hell do I need to sign up to yet another newsletter
Why does superstars and frontiers have separate websites
Why isn’t it just a sonic website
atomic topaz
Why does superstars and frontiers have separate websites

The act 3 boss thing is frustrating the hell out of me
atomic topaz
I have to honestly agree with Scott on this
Sonic 1 has not aged as well as 2 and 3/knuckles
great for the time but honestly its more frustrating than fun
sonic 2 really fixed that
flint folio
I got through it but my god what a mess
atomic topaz
yeah
whatevers considered the worst of Dimps 2D is still better than sonic 1
although bottomless pits can be considered a dealbreaker
flint folio
While yes I’d much rather play advance 1 than sonic 1 they won’t re release them for love nor money
atomic topaz
While yes I’d much rather play advance 1 than sonic 1 they won’t re release them...
do you think by chance
maybe
sega has a grudge against Dimps?
for whatever reason
flint folio
I just think there is some licensing jargon with Nintendo and they don’t seem interested in rereleasing content outside of the 90s genesis games
atomic topaz
I just think there is some licensing jargon with Nintendo and they don’t seem in...
thats weird
i mean Colors was a Wii exclusive
flint folio
This was also many years ago and likely a Nintendo approach rather than sega, porting advance would require sega to make the first move
flint folio
New sonic update is incredible
atomic topaz
New sonic update is incredible
so the update happened without them saying much about it?
flint folio
I mean there was a trailer for it I’m not sure what you’re asking
atomic topaz
oh nvmd
atomic topaz
shadow the hedgehog 2
glass spade
NO WAY
atomic topaz
in all seriousness, im sure they could do something cool with Shadow in his own game
the original was just hindered by 2000s edgy culture
flint folio
so no news whatsoever on update 3?
No because they gave news on update 2 that released that following evening
Why would they talk about 2 updates at once
flint folio
Because that would be confusing to a consumer to talk about 2 updates at once and get players more excited for the 3rd update, potentially even forget there was a 2nd one
The 2nd update is huge and you should appreciate it rather than sprinting right to more characters because a large amount of the community is singing praises of the things it fixes
glass spade
i’ll play it in a bit
atomic topaz
the original was just hindered by 2000s edgy culture
you take that away, also take away the guns, you can just make it a cool sonic game with a bit moodier tone
flint folio
Pretty huge update
atomic topaz
Non sonic central watching mfs
can you blame me really
atomic topaz
i mean considering what type of stuff they show at those things
YALL WANT SOME SONIC SHIRTS

Well our first impression of a sonic central announced both a remaster and frontiers
flint folio
Fair to say this central would have been good had it ended on a sonic superstars announcement, which it could have done
atomic topaz
yeah
flint folio
Plus, the frontiers update is like a minute of video I wouldn’t have put it past you to have come across it at some stage
atomic topaz
ah shit
thats fair

I found season 1, up till episode 5 or 6, which is all I’ve seen, is decent, but it does feel ever so slightly shallow in a weird way, like it’s better than the awful sonic x filler episodes but also does feel a certain way
flint folio
I will for sure,
Season 1 is enjoyable enough anyway
atomic topaz
@flint folio i almost beat sonic 2
i got to the very final boss and realized i kinda fucked up since i picked Knuckles
his jump height is significantly shorter than sonics which actually makes the death egg fight more difficult

sonic heroes remake is in the conversation this week
i think thats very exciting

I aint tryna complain tho

incredibly, heroes actually is by the numbers the most popular for 3d titles
atomic topaz
incredibly, heroes actually is by the numbers the most popular for 3d titles
I stand corrected
holy shit lol
never woulda thought that to be tha case
flint folio
really points out how impiortant frontiers is in this case, how close its gotten to the best selling games
atomic topaz
thats good
i have a question tho
that came to mind because of this rumor
if this is a full-on remake of heroes (not a simple remaster) how good could sega/sonic team really be at remakes
Im concerned cuz of how kinda low budget Frontiers felt
not saying it was a bad game but its not the most cutting edge game graphically
well and also the colors remaster lol
flint folio
simply, one is an open world game, the other was made by blind squirrel, and the first is a 2003 gamecube game with no realism nearly at all
atomic topaz
lol
flint folio
if you care to notice pokemon's first attempt at open world tbh sonic did alright
atomic topaz
incredibly good point
flint folio
first attempts for this sort of thing goes a long way, especially high budget for sonic isnt the same as assassins creed or something
it'll be very easy to point at SCU for bad remasters, but we do indeed have another remaster coming soon in sonic x shadow gens
atomic topaz
Yeah im optimistic they learned their lesson
they should at least know how much more goated Gens is compared to Colors
flint folio
the unique issue with sonic at the moment is theyre doing a lot of things we mostly want, but its hard to support in some ways, you dont want the studio to get the wrong idea
critically, gens is the best 3d sonic game from a non fan perspective
atomic topaz
Yeah, this is an industry where ALOT of companies get the wrong idea
on a regular basis
flint folio
well sonic 06 killed the adventure formula games, that wasnt the message at all
sure it ended with GOATs but that was pure luck
the message was finish your fucking games but idk LOL
atomic topaz
LOL
yeah
you dont release an unfinished game and go "oh yeah the series is the problem"
WB was like: ok everyone hates our SS game
lets make more!
atomic topaz
sure it ended with GOATs but that was pure luck
good point tbh

well outside of sonic they fall on
football manager
flint folio
p sure football manager sells the best out of anything
atomic topaz
thats so strange
the company that made sonic isnt making the most off of sonic
in the way that the company that made Mario makes the most off of Mario

i am curious too, obviously the sonic 3 movie and sonic x shadow gens but maybe there's a chance for something else surprising that stars shadow as the main character
The only thing this makes me think back to is Nintendo's Year of Luigi back in 2013, and that did sorta involve a luigi solo game coming out
flint folio
Sort of? I mean the only unfortunate thing is sega has had a lot of “do Nintendo but underwhelming” sorta stuff
So like it wouldn’t shock me if this was it and it’s just marketing but logic would dictate that there is a few other minor shadow related stuff to happen
atomic topaz
So like it wouldn’t *shock* me if this was it and it’s just marketing but logic ...
If April fools hadnt already happened, i wouldve said like
HD remaster of Shadow the Hedgehog PS2 game for april fools
flint folio
Lol nah I mean shadow was an alright game anyway and they wouldn’t tease things like that
atomic topaz
Lol nah I mean shadow was an alright game anyway and they wouldn’t tease things ...
id love to see what else they could do as an april fools joke in the future
i havent played murder of sonic yet but more wacky stuff like that would be cool
atomic topaz
Wonder where all this goes
Well I found one small part of it
I opened sonic dash for the first time in like 100 years and they've got some kind of year of shadow tie-in going on
flint folio
I opened clash of clans lol

The expected choice
flint folio
I didn’t believe it until I saw it, absolutely incredible
atomic topaz
Yeah
they actually got him
Those Hayden Christiansen fancasts had me intrigued tho
But lets be real Keanu was the first one we ALL thought of
so this is such a fuckin W
atomic topaz
I didn’t believe it until I saw it, absolutely incredible
safe to say we won yo
Also
funny parallel with Cyberpunk
Idris and Keanu were both in that game lmao
and now they're both in sonic
flint folio
If keanu can be a tumbleweed for SpongeBob he can be shadow
atomic topaz
If keanu can be a tumbleweed for SpongeBob he can be shadow
Wait, doesn't he just play himself in that movie

He plays a sage

Sonic Advance 1, 2 or 3?
I haven't necessarily played my copies enough to decide which one is my favorite but
i like 2 alot

2 is quite challenging

if or when this happens, i hope the idea of cyberspace levels is greatly expanded
flint folio
correct
frontiers is far from perfect but it has had me feeling the best about the sonic franchise i ever have
I love what they had going on - it did exactly what i wanted and kept both adventure and boost alive in one very neat feeling package
atomic topaz
frontiers is far from perfect but it has had me feeling the best about the sonic...
at least its like a 7.5/10 which is a miracle for the sonic franchise
flint folio
commercially it was a 7/10 and people have loved worse
a commerical 7 for sonic is like an easy 9 for fans
atomic topaz
Superstars just came and went
flint folio
superstars was like really really ok
atomic topaz
But people are still talking about frontiers
flint folio
a real nothing game, frontiers felt fresh and interesting
atomic topaz
yeah
flint folio
keep that style, adventure with boost gameplay breaks in this style feels perfect for sonic
atomic topaz
It doesn't feel very new, it just kind of reminds me of the classic sonic levels in generations
Granted I still haven't played it
flint folio
cant have him being fastest thing alive if you dont occasionally let him piss off into oblivion
superstars isnt anything special when its really cheap try it out
flint folio
tell you what thats not out of the question in a year or two

@flint folio aye so when you planning on watching knuckles?
its out today
i dont know if i'll have the time this weekend but i figured it was worth mentioning
flint folio
Idk maybe
atomic topaz
Idk maybe
i mean it looks good
the dropping episodes all at once model is kinda detrimental tho
this aint gonna be talked about for very long
I've just been really busy. But i'm still really excited because I love knuckles
atomic topaz
@flint folio Slightly disappointed its just called "Knuckles" instead of "Knuckles the Echidna"
atomic topaz
Idk maybe
Sorry for pinging incessantly But I wanted to say that I actually did start the first episode
To be honest, I forgot just how hard the movie series is appealing to kids
And that was like
A bit hard to adjust to for a minute
flint folio
Lol ah worth knowing
glass spade
watched all of knuckles
yeah it really is catered towards kids and doesnt shy away from that
but its good fun
i liked it
i do recommend

Which level is that demo
I'm fairly certain you would know the answer
flint folio
Well it’s mostly a fucked version of cosmic wall? It’s the space level from SA2 I forget the name I had to check
flint folio
Which level is that demo
I knew the level but had to look it up, it’ll be the first level of shadows thing? It’s like 5 minutes long

AYYYYYYYYY
no confirmation of shadow 2005 levels tho?
flint folio
not yet but there is deffo more levels than that
atomic topaz
True
atomic topaz
not yet but there is deffo more levels than that
Regardless of the quality of that game, I would still find it very headscratching to not include levels from it
since it has his name on it
flint folio
it probably will lol
atomic topaz
it probably will lol
Sort of an unrelated question but im curious, you ever actually beaten the Shadow game?

This is the farthest they've gone in the direction of adapting one specific Sonic game for a movie and its lookin hella faithful to SA2
beyond hyped
also yeah that was hilarious
DAMN it just occured to me that we arent getting amy or rouge in this
flint folio
Yeah we don’t necessarily need that mind
atomic topaz
Yeah we don’t necessarily need that mind
Yeah, if they're not in it, it would definitely make the movie more focused

IGN gave it a 9 lmao

Think i might sell some old games to get it
As much as i can sell that i wouldnt feel bad about
glass spade
dang
how is it time for this game to come out alr
i remember this got announced in jan
that 9/8 months went by quickly
atomic topaz
@flint folio if youve been playing sonic x shadow gens what are your thoughts on it so far?
atomic topaz
yeah i shoulda known better than to phrase it that way
atomic topaz
Shadow gens is great fun, absolute peak
so then im guessing they just built on the already established formula of gens which we all know worked really well
rather than trying to be something different
flint folio
Shadow gens is frontiers mate
atomic topaz
Oh
flint folio
Absolutely not gens at all
flint folio
The main levels are fuckin dope as shit and an easy 5 minutes
atomic topaz
or is it the exact same game
atomic topaz
Yeah fair
flint folio
Gens is a remaster bub not a remake in some really weird way
Shadow gens is a totally new experience
flint folio
Controls are good, new powers are tremendous, and it’s great fun
Shadow gens is what he was up to while sonic was in his regular game
atomic topaz
So then they built on the foundation of frontiers' cyberspace levels
flint folio
Shadow gens is better than frontiers cyberspace, but sonic gens is a little better than shadow gens main levels
But not by much, because it’s a matter of opinion
Once mastered these levels are still an easy 4 minutes long, and it’s awesome, very very interesting levels and fun design
atomic topaz
My potato pc was having trouble running the later levels at a solid framerate so yeah i need this at some point lol\
flint folio
No sadly not
atomic topaz

That prolly explains why its 50 instead of the usual 70
for aaa releases
flint folio
I got it for 39
atomic topaz
dammmmm
flint folio
It’s still an easy 20-30 hr game if you take your time and have fun, or are just a bit bad
atomic topaz
lol
flint folio
Plus I put 60 hrs into gens just having fun shaving a few seconds off my runs
atomic topaz
i might be a tiny little bit shit
flint folio
I put over 100 into frontiers

@flint folio wait so did it end up having any levels from shadows solo game???

I’m not finished yet, so far I’ve done adventure 2, heroes, 06 and forces

young dagger
the autism hit me the day before it came out early for digital deluxe and i beat it day one
waiting for a guide for all of the collectables to 100% cuz fuck getting 80 bolts solo for some music i could've just played myself
excited for the sonic 3 movie dlc tho
i do hope the modding scene figures out how to get old mods from old school gens working for the rerelease, i only had gens on ps3 and it would be cool to go through the unleashed project again
young dagger
I'm really happy they found a healthy balance with the boost formula
as much as i love the ridiculous speed it beats just holding boost the whole time
atomic topaz
Brother this game is fucking rad
I'm partially convinced they only made this to coincide with the release of Sonic movie 3 but im nonetheless happy its good
flint folio
Well they have sonic 3 dlc, and it’s fairly safe to say that’s absolutely not going to exist purely for a film
flint folio
I'm really happy they found a healthy balance with the boost formula
I’m just happy boost still exists I will still mindlessly plow thought the earlier boost games out of pure entertainment
I will find the OG boost pretty GOATed but this current edition with shadow I’d argue feels faster and better than frontiers physics
atomic topaz
I mean honestly
That one hundred percent deserves to happen
Just without sega giving them a shitty deadline
Like that was the whole problem
flint folio

Do you like the story in sonic 06?
Cuz I'm curious like, is it just the gameplay that needs fixed
flint folio
look mate if sonic colours mate it through the meetings at the board sonic snogging a woman is hardly far fetched
its genuinely quite good in places, and the best depiction of shadow
atomic topaz
its genuinely quite good in places, and the best depiction of shadow
Yeah, I was just saying like I know that it's janky in parts and this is a very good thing to exist because anyone who does hate it can potentially have a better version
Especially if they don't have a pc cause project 06
flint folio
P-06 is great but ultimately isnt the full game
as desolate and dead the game is, 06 was great fun as a kid to just run at full pelt round the hub world
atomic topaz
its genuinely quite good in places, and the best depiction of shadow
Also this point right here
that would make this move make a lot of sense after shadow generations and sonic 3 movie
In terms of marketing
flint folio
I doubt this would ever go down well, or ever happen
atomic topaz
I doubt this would ever go down well, or ever happen

i havent actually drawn in a long while though 💀
my favorite games are probably frontiers, adventure 1 and 2, 3&K, CD, and 2 though
