Not trying to backseat mod, but you should probably put the part of your post about the secret unlockable in a spoiler tag, Xenos.

^ I pretty much agree with King Of Awesome. Some missions can be frustratingly hard on the A and S classes, and while this isn't a problem in itself (a nice challenge can be fun at times), I can see why people who simply want to play as X character wouldn't be too fond of it. I think Super Smash Bros. tackles this nicely, offering quicker, more traditional ways of unlocking characters, as well as the easier and simpler, but longer, "play versus mode enough times". Anyway, speaking of unlocks, I just unlocked the super secret character Also, going back a few pages, it was great hearing your vocal talents as Avatar, S0L. XD

So after a few months of simply lurking, I'm back to complement Sega and Sumo on such a great game. Just picked it up today and am having a great time with it. The game overall just looks, feels, and sounds better than the original; the increased budget really shows (as well as all the love put into this game, obviously). Also, while I haven't posted much (or at all; can't even remember if I ever posted in this topic >_>) during development, it was great to see that shout-out to the Sonic Stadium Community in the credits (haven't beaten the game yet, but saw it on here). Congrats on a job well done, S0L (and everyone else at Sumo)!

Nice. Loved playing the demo of this but never actually got the full game. Definitely gonna pick this up.

You hear that guys? Not enough boosters! In all seriousness though, I find myself most agreeing with Barry and Solid SOAP in this topic. I personally enjoyed the game and I'm not really seeing where all these 5's and 6's are coming from. But to each their own I guess. :/

More info on the villain meeting scene. So apparently Eggman mainly stays in the background during the scene. However, he does have at least one line (which he speaks in unison with the others) during the scene, which is "I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad." I guess that means this is most likely the news Mike Pollock was talking about (assuming Mike Pollock is voicing him).

^This. I like the series the way it is and would hate for Sega to go back and start messing with what is already established. It just seems too counter-productive for such a long running series, especially since the series is starting to be seen in a more positive light among the general gaming public again thanks to Colors and Generations. The rebooted form of the series ends up not being well received critically or commercially, Sonic fades into obscurity, and the series dies off? Since the series would be rebooted, many fans might lose the nostalgic connection they currently have towards it (which also means they won't be as tolerant with the series's shortcomings) and jump ship. Just look at Crash and Spyro.

On the subject of James playing the modern games, he has played (and apparently liked) Sonic Rush: Also, more on the subject of the video, it's nice to see he has such a good opinion of the series.

I'm playing the PS3 version and the CGI cutscenes have audio for me. Granted, the sound seems pretty low on them (lower than the in-game audio), but they still have sound. Although is anyone noticing a choppy framerate in some of the boarding ares? The second disco area in particular sticks out in my mind as being very choppy in this port. I don't remember it being like that in the original. Dimps didn't have anything to do with Origins.

From the way Kellie worded it, it seems like there's no Sonic alone mode as well, since she makes it seem like the co-op with Tails (CPU or human) is mandatory.

Kellie on the Sega forums.

Even though I usually played as Sonic in the classics, Tails not being playable by himself really is a big disappointment, especially since they were pushing "TAILS IS BACK!" so much. But meh, I'm not gonna let it ruin the game for me. I remember that I was also similarly disappointed when Diddy was confirmed to be co-op only in DKCR (even though Nintendo didn't tease about Diddy's "return"), but I got over it and still enjoyed the game. I'll probably do the same here (y'know, assuming the game turns out fun). Although, this does suck a bit more since Diddy never really did much to change the experience of the original games, but Tails did with his flying ability.
