Gotta Go Fast: the Obligatory Sonic the Hedgehog Thread!

I don’t really care if you like Chaotix, it just means you like something I think is unbelievably boring. I can’t imagine what it is you get out of it. If it’s just “wow look at/listen to that” then more power to you, but that is a deeply dull game to me.
 
I want to pick up Sonic X Shadow Generations and am choosing between Xbox and Switch. Is slowdown on the Switch an issue? I'd rather have good performance for a Sonic game than portability if I have to balance those two. Also I have a save from the original Sonic Generations on the Xbox if there's any unlocks or bonuses.
 
i haven't heard of any unlocks or bonuses, but since my old save data for it was inexplicably wiped, I can't say firsthand.

I don't remember experiencing any huge performance issues in the Switch version, but I think it runs at 30fps like the original 360/PS3 versions (or maybe that was just one of them, I forget) did.

There are longer load times on Switch, and I noticed that picture quality/textures could seem a little weird sometimes.

Basically, Switch version isn't bad, imo, but the Series X version ran better overall when I played them.
 
I played a few levels of Sonic Colors: Ultimate because it's free this month on PS+.

On some of these levels, I reach a big ring just about 30 seconds in. I run into the ring and the level finishes. The timing of it seems too quick, and I think I see stuff beyond the ring. What's going on? Am I supposed to find an alternate route? Or jump over it? Or is the level simply that short?

IIRC, the levels are shorter, but there are more of them.

If you're interested in the Sonic Racing Crossworlds game that comes out soon, there's a free network test this weekend where you can try the game. Seems to be available on basically all platforms.

Network test seems pretty fun! Enjoyed my time with it, sadly ran into issues with auto acceleration not working in online mode for some reason so I can’t play much sadly, had fun though! Reported the bug to sega support, and this didn’t exist in the previous test so im hoping it’s fixed soon.

Overall opinion is that I think this is a huge step up above the precious private test, tons of improvement to sense of speed, handling, and overall game balancing. Not sure if I’ll pick it up at launch but would be happy to buy it on sale a few months after. Had a few hours of enjoyment out of it, and im excited to see what the other tracks are, and if we see even more sega crossover tracks beyond Space Harrier (I think?)
