Sonic Pico Park for PS5 Won't Have a Platinum Trophy

Over on PSNProfiles, the list has been made public ahead of launch, and unfortunately it won't feature a platinum Trophy.
What it does have are 20 Trophies in all — 12 bronze, seven silver, and one gold — nearly all of which are awarded for clearing each World's levels. There are also some endless scroller levels you'll need to reach certain scores in, but yeah, this is a very ...

Lead programmer Shigeki Watanabe reveals how Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds developers modified Unreal Engine code to reduce overhead and tackle performance issues.

And it wasn’t just about getting the game to run faster. Watanabe is particularly concerned with how a game feels when you press a button, making sure the visuals, sound and controller vibration respond together without noticeable delays.
Although he wasn’t directly responsible for CrossWorlds’ character controls, he spent considerable time tracking down performance bottlenecks, improving frame rates and addressing the brief stutters known as hitches. That meant repeatedly measuring performance, identifying trouble spots and making adjustments across the game’s supported platforms.
Watanabe’s experience includes Wonderland Wars, Sonic Frontiers and Sonic X Shadow Generations, but his interest in programming goes well beyond his day job. He still experiments with different programming languages at home and enjoys motorcycle touring, having previously travelled around Japan on two wheels. His current bike is a Yamaha SR400, and he says his riding experience has sometimes helped him notice vehicle behaviour in racing games that wouldn’t make sense in ...

Also just few hours after I commented, I found more Super Mario 64 ported to SEGA consoles.
This one is for SEGA 32X, lol.

The Sega Saturn I can expect, but the 32X is kind of impressive. I mean, while the 32X was underappreciated for good reasons, it really does go to show Sega can do what Nintendon't, if the Mega Drive (and 32X) can run Nintendo's leading N64 game.

Because back then that emulator wasn't designed specifically for SegaSonic.
This made me remember back then when I was still in college, I was a SEGA mail subscriber and they sent me a demo of Super Monkey Ball and asking for a review.
The game's control was using mouse and it worked fine like a charm. It was really fun to play.
Kinda funny since the game was released not for PC, but for consoles later using a gamepad. Also for arcade of course, but they're very rare.

I suppose I can give SegaSonic another try sometime. Especially given the Steam Controller trackpads could perhaps function like trackballs.

That one, yes, it was vibe-coded.
If you want the one that's not using AI you can try this one by BeatzYT3 : https://gitlab.com/adokova1111/project-dream-release
No AI used at all.

AI, no-AI, I don't mind either way, I just appreciate the fact it's on PC.

This one. Came to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester, and Birmingham in February 2027.

Those places are still too far away for me to attend. Cardiff is still a bit too far for me. Aberystwyth isn't really a city, but it's still regarded a major town and a train ride from where I live.

Yeah, 32X is actually impressive but it's limited by the cartridge's RAM limit, the bigger the size, the more expensive it was. That's why SEGA moved to CD in Saturn (Sony too in PS1).

I suppose I can give SegaSonic another try sometime. Especially given the Steam Controller trackpads could perhaps function like trackballs.

Even with better control, I found the game's too difficult for me. The game's relied on our fast reflect.

Those places are still too far away for me to attend. Cardiff is still a bit too far for me. Aberystwyth isn't really a city, but it's still regarded a major town and a train ride from where I live.

At least they came to five cities (counting London too since it came to London last month in UK. In Indonesia, it's always that one city.

the 32X was a period where Sega were moving onto the next console, but unsure where to go at it from the Mega Drive.

Even with better control, I found the game's too difficult for me. The game's relied on our fast reflect.

It does the last time I played it.

At least they came to five cities (counting London too since it came to London last month in UK. In Indonesia, it's always that one city.

It is the capital, after all. But just because UK is small doesn't mean everything is next door to me. All of UK is big enough to fit inside Texas, so that's a size comparison for you.

the 32X was a period where Sega were moving onto the next console, but unsure where to go at it from the Mega Drive.

It was made to rival the "64-Bit" Atari Jaguar which's turned out wasn't a threat at all.
The 32X utilized dual 32-bit Hitachi SH-2 processors and specialized VDP hardware to upgrade the existing 16-bit Genesis, giving it strong 2D/3D polygon capabilities that frequently competed directly with the Jaguar's library (such as ports like Doom or racing titles).

It is the capital, after all. But just because UK is small doesn't mean everything is next door to me. All of UK is big enough to fit inside Texas, so that's a size comparison for you.

My island (Java Island) has an area about two-thirds the size of Great Britain and we have 17,000 islands here, well okay, only around 1,000 islands inhabited. Fans from those 999 islands definitely aren't next door, but some of them somehow could make their way to Jakarta.
