IGN: Sonic Adventure Review

[CrazyT]

Lol, no wonder why the franchise attracts so many furries

[George]

I think people are right to assume more from a port. Why port the game to a system when its not going to support all of what the new system has to offer?

Regardless, I'm playing it now and noticed how bad the graphics in the town people are. I remember when I first got it, I was like "Graphics can't get better than this, ever!"

From what I noticed in the game, the things they charged are:
- Achivements/Trophies
- DX models (its not SA from DC, like advertised)
- Locked at 60fps.
- VMU/GBA exporter for Chaos taken off.

Correct?

No then you would call it a remake if it took advantage of the better tech and really improved the graphics models and so on. A port is a port , and a remake is quite different imo

Do people expect more when they're downloading classic X-Box games onthe 360 (like Halo) , N64/Snes games  onthe Wii or classic PS games on the PSN?

I never said remake graphics. I said at least support HD, better icons for HD output. That is not a remake, its taking advantage of new additions in other consoles.

They had no issue doing this for the Gamecube port, giving out new content, new models of characters and so on.

[crackdude]

This is a port. It is only expected to play the game as well as it used to originally.

If reviewers are retarded and don't know what a review should be based on it's their retardedness.

I looked at the image crackdude posted, and I feel on the floor laughing. I remember seeing this ont he DC version xD, which would give me a you-know-what from seeing panty shots.

[max_cady]

Amy Rose pantsu every time the girl struts around in Sonic Adventure 2. That, and Rouge the Bat's bizzare jiggle physics. It's all very distracting.

It isn't really a remake. As you aren't changing anything. I would call it an enhanced port, or enhanced remake.

It is in High Def, and must be to meet MS LIVE Arcade requirements.  This is no fuss or moaning when SONY brings its PS games to the PS3 PSN with next to no improvments, same for NCL and their Snes and N64 games on the Wii, and the same for X-Box classic on Market Place and in some cases they cost more to download.

So why the big fuss with SONIC Adv, When its just a bloody port, and SEGA never made out otherwise  

It isn't really a remake. As you aren't changing anything

I would class Perfect Dark 360 an remake on LIVE , I would also class the upcoming PSN Oddword Stranger as a remake , even if the basic game modes and gameplay is exactly the same.

I was simply class Sonic Adv as a  simple port

[George]

Is there a thread for PSone games? I don't see it. It is like saying its OK there was a holocaust because other people had them too.

What would you class Banjo Kazooie xbla? God of War collection? What about the upcoming sly collection?

psh.

[Grant360]

Good bit of news... Sonic Adventure jumped from #15 to #4 on the XBLA chart. A solid showing indeed considering the volume of games coming out right now.

Is this thread discussing Classic downloads ?, is it talking about the classic downloads the PSN and XBLA networks offer
If that is the case then PS1 games can form very much the argument

And is there any need to bring the Holocaust in to his debate ?

B&K is a remake and one that costs 1400 points compared to Sonic Adv 800 points. GOW collection is a full price High Def stand alone full price shop retail product, completely different to Sonic Adv download really
Maybe if SEGA were to do a High Def Sonic Adv collection, sell it in the shops and charge full price of it, I would expect better

Sonic Adv is just a simple port, Like Castlevaina SOTH, DOOM II and other XBLA games for downloads.

[crackdude]

It's a port. It probably wouldn't even be in HD if XBLA wouldn't require it.

Final Fantasy IX and Sonic Adventure came out on the same day.
FFIX on the PSN looks like shit in a widescreen, just like it did back then and you have to "change disks" every single time you play it. Fans rejoice at playing one of their favorite games again.
Sega ports SA and bumps it up to HD and 60fps with shorter loading times. OMG R DEY EVEN TRYING?!?!?!?!?

[George]

Completely ignored the other games I mentioned TA? Arguing with you is worthless, you have selective hearing.

What are you on about ?

I've said B&K on XBLA is a remake, and GOW is a High Def collection that costs as much as a full price retail game and is sold at retail, so its not really a fair comparsion .

But like I said if Sonic Team were to do a Sonic Adv High Def Collection and charge full price for it. I would expect far far better than a simple port. Now is that simple enough for you ?
