Scar 5,827 Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) This is great news.So much opportunity for the dedicated fans to fuck around with the game code now. Bring us interesting insights to how the thing works. That and its now open to a huge number of people who'd never have played the game. I hope the trend of releasing on steam continues to any future main series console Sonic games. Boom could also go on steam, but frankly I wouldn't care if it was. Again, the more technically minded fans may be the ones who are more interested with that.

Cola 3,389 Posted October 6, 2015 Can't say I expected to see Lost World ported to Steam, but I'll probably pick it up sooner or later. Hopefully after some mods make it play more like a traditional sonic game. I'd love to see some of the problems I had with it fixed up, in addition to the possibility of custom levels. 1 DarkDefeater reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soniman 16,655 Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Well at least now the people who were peeved about it being Wii U exclusive will finally have their chance to see what they've been missing. Good for them. I guess it's a longshot to expect the DLC to be there (thats not NiGHTS). Edited October 6, 2015 by Soniman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gabz Girl 4,388 Posted October 6, 2015 So uh...that was unexpected. O_O Bring on the mods I guess! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue Rainbow 25 Posted October 6, 2015 Well, that came out of... nowhere? I feel really strange seeing Lost World on Steam. I'm still gonna stick with Wii U version (when I finally buy the console) because of the physical copy, but I'm happy for others. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cola 3,389 Posted October 6, 2015 Oh yeah, I guess this means the DLC won't be there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ripe 521 Posted October 6, 2015 Well, this was unexpected. Now I have to check that will my computer be good enough to handle it. Thank god they are not charging 60€ for it. I guess this means that Nintendo-contract is really over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zaysho 12,708 Posted October 6, 2015 Huh, definitely didn't see that coming. I think it's good the game will potentially reach a wider audience because of this, but I'm happy with the Wii U version. I would like to see how modders use this engine with other characters, I think it has more potential than the boost engine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spееdy 402 Posted October 6, 2015 What's up with exclusive contract yo? Vanished? lolI'm shocked by this news. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zaysho 12,708 Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) I'm pretty sure Nintendo's exclusivity deal just gave them first dibs on three Sonic titles, but it doesn't necessarily mean they'd be exclusive to Nintendo systems forever. Lost World wasn't published by Nintendo, either, so it seems like it was more a matter of time than anything. Rise of Lyric and the previous Olympics game will never make the jump, though (SEGA probably wants to bury RoL and the latter uses Nintendo's IP and is published by them). EDIT: I stand corrected, Lost World was published by Nintendo in Europe, but it seems like Lost World would be the most likely to move to other platforms as it's a mainline Sonic game.

Celestia 15,128 Posted October 6, 2015 I'm up for this. Probably won't get it right away since I'm saving up for other stuff and I have the game already, but I'll definitely keep an eye on whatever mods pop up (if any). Though this makes me wonder if Colours'll end up on Steam too at some point. I mean, I don't see why not, if they can do this game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Junko 1,757 Posted October 6, 2015 They listed Full HD (1080p) and 60fps as PC exclusive, but uh, didn't SLW on Wii U have that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ratcicle King 5,574 Posted October 6, 2015 I'm up for this. Probably won't get it right away since I'm saving up for other stuff and I have the game already, but I'll definitely keep an eye on whatever mods pop up (if any). Though this makes me wonder if Colours'll end up on Steam too at some point. I mean, I don't see why not, if they can do this game. Colors would be the best next step here, and considering the game had an option for pretty much every single controller available on the Wii, buttom mapping it won't be as much problematic as SLW probably is going to be.

Ducktor Naldush Repulsa 1,271 Posted October 6, 2015 Well, didn't see that coming. Good for those people who wanted to play the game but didn't had a WiiU. Now you don't have to buy that console, I suppose. That's all I have to say. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryannumber1gamer 42,435 Posted October 6, 2015 I'm personally hoping this means a PS4/Xbox One release. I'm not the biggest fan of Lost World, but I just want a Sonic game on next gen consoles already. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Char 9 Posted October 6, 2015 Awww, yiss. This will make the wait for the anniversary game so much smoother. Or maybe it'll be the opposite, a lot of people were peeved about the game. Regardless, it'll be interesting! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoseR 828 Posted October 6, 2015 Y'know, this game might actually be okay without the gamepad mechanics. Maybe I'll watch some videos and consider picking it up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radiant Hero Ike 4,454 Posted October 6, 2015 Oh. Cool! Definitely gonna pick it up soon. Can't wait to see all the cool mods like Shadow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jetronic 1,389 Posted October 6, 2015 ...well then...that definitely came from out of nowhere. Hope the modding community goes absolutely nuts with it. Y'know, this game might actually be okay without the gamepad mechanics. Maybe I'll watch some videos and consider picking it up. Those were patched after sometime (don't know about the Rhythm Wisp though). But every other wisp can now be used with the control stick/buttons after the patch.
